Opinion: Dress codes cause more harm than good.
Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre weighs in on the most recent public example in the community
Culture Opinion Mar. 10, 2021 Kyra Grubb
NorKam secondary student Karis Wilson in the outfit that got her sent home from school on Feb. 23, 2021.
Dress codes are arbitrary and archaic and are disproportionately directed at female-identifying students. Not only are they misogynistic, but they are also inappropriately based on non-secular understandings of modesty, purity and conservatism.
Dress codes have determined what is considered appropriate in a wide range of settings for hundreds, if not thousands of years. For example, in Ancient Rome, married women were expected, if not required, to wear stolas, a more modest version of the toga, which the Romans apparently reserved for prostitutes and the recently divorced.
In the 12th century, the church barred nuns and other church-going women from wearing silk gowns, fur trims, sandals and patterned habits or veils. Quite sometime later in Victorian England, women were required to adhere to insanely stringent guidelines concerning dress and behaviour in public and private settings up until the 1800s.
Historically, uniforms have been enforced at educational institutions and have traditionally imposed gender bias. For most of the 20th century, schools stipulated that girls wear skirts even though mainstream society recognized that pants were, otherwise, socially acceptable. While dress codes at educational institutions have, in fact, promoted modesty and non-secular values, they were at some point used to equalize students from various socioeconomic backgrounds by way of uniforms (a rare example of inclusivity in dress code history).
With the above being said, I feel it is quite clear dress codes are reasonably arbitrary. Still, some may be shocked to find they perpetuate rape culture if used inappropriately. Dress codes often encourage young women's over-sexualization and prioritize men's assumed needs over a women's right to education. Archaic dress codes suggest that those who do not dress modestly are asking for attention. Dress codes often insinuate that women are defined by what they wear.
After NorKam Grade 12 student, Karis Wilson, was sent home for wearing a knee-length slip and turtleneck, Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre released a statement saying, "[KSACC] is saddened and frustrated to hear that another Kamloops student has had their access to education compromised by archaic and misogynistic dress code standards. These dress codes disproportionately target Female-identifying students, and it is unacceptable."
They went on to add, "no student in Kamloops should be barred access to the classroom because teaching staff unfairly decide their clothing is sexually inappropriate. The issue is not with the student's fashion choices but that school district staff are sexualizing students. If a teacher, or teaching candidate, finds themselves sexually triggered by their students, perhaps they are in the wrong line of work."
I could not have said it better. KSACC added, "[we] stand with the students speaking out against this harmful misogyny. We urge School District 73 staff to take action in addressing the harm done and work towards creating a school environment that fosters respect, safety, and learning for all students… For any students who have felt unsafe because of these events, we see you, hear you, and believe you. We stand beside you in this fight."
School District 73 has since announced a revised district-wide dress code policy is in the works.

You could teach a geology course at Devil's Punchbowl, a state park just north of Newport, Oregon. Along this half-mile stretch of beach and rocky tidepools, you see tilted sedimentary rocks, normal faults, an angular unconformity beneath an uplifted marine terrace, invasive lava flows, and of course amazing erosional features typical of Oregon's spectacular coastline. And every one of these features tells a story. You can click on any of the images below to see them at a larger size.
View southward from Cape Foulweather to the Devil's Punchbowl.

Oyster Bar (Las Vegas, NV)
Posted on June 4, 2015 by DarinJune 4, 2015
Palace Station Hotel & Casino
Dining date: 5/7/15
The Oyster Bar at Palace Station is slightly off the beaten path, albeit a fairly well-known spot for great seafood off-strip. It's open 24 hours a day, frequently with a long line that stretches through the slot machines.
There's plenty of fresh seafood simply prepared (raw oysters and clams, crab and shrimp cocktail) as well as in a gumbo, pan-roast, chowder, jambalaya, bouillabaisse, etouffée, or pastas. All the food is cooked to order in steam kettles in front of diners.
This was my second trip to the restaurant and first for my parents.
LUMP CRAB COCKTAIL
Shelled lump crab meat made for some easy eating. A couple of lingering small shells were a little annoying, but the crab meat was sweet and tasty.
COMBO PAN ROAST Shrimp, Crab and Lobster
The pan roast has been my favorite dish here. It has a creamy tomato base, filled with a variety of seafood and meats. This one was all shellfish, perfectly cooked in the delicious sauce. Rice was an ideal vehicle to soak up all the goodness.
HOUSE GUMBO Shrimp, Crab and Lobster
Gumbo is another house favorite. They do a very good one here, with plenty of depth and richness.
SHRIMP SCAMPI Served with Linguine and choice of red or white sauce
Noodles were slightly on the soft side, but did a good job of soaking up the sauce filled with shellfish flavor. Large plump shrimp were pretty delicious.
SHRIMP & LOBSTER FRA DIABLO Sautéed Shrimp and Lobster in a spicy Tomato sauce served over linguine
More soupy than saucy, this tomato-based sauce carried a fair amount of heat but the same plump shrimp and lobster.
I really enjoyed Oyster Bar. It's a no frills spot where the focus is clearly on the food, particularly seafood. And there is where it excels; I can't get enough of that pan roast and gumbo.

Brief intro by Pastor Pete, leading into the theme song and the 6 discoveries.
God's Calling: Are you seeking?
Worship Leader - Everybody comes to camp seeking something - fun, friends, fresh air and - deep down - God. The first discovery has to do with "seeking." Does God call us if we aren't first seeking Him? In the Bible, God called the apostle Paul to seek out new followers of Jesus in a brand new place. When he got there, the first people he met were women seeking God. One was Lydia, and it was in her home that the first church in Europe began. As you listen to her story, ask yourself, are you seeking God like she was?
13On the Sabbath, we left the city and went down along the river where we had heard there was to be a prayer meeting. We took our place with the women who had gathered there and talked with them. 14One woman, Lydia, was from Thyatira and a dealer in expensive textiles, known to be a God-fearing woman. As she listened with intensity to what was being said, the Master gave her a trusting heart--and she believed!
15After she was baptized, along with everyone in her household, she said in a surge of hospitality, "If you're confident that I'm in this with you and believe in the Master truly, come home with me and be my guests." We hesitated, but she wouldn't take no for an answer.
God's Calling: What do you hear?
Worship Leader - The following is a familiar story about a boy who heard God's call in the middle of the night. Samuel grew up to become a famous judge and prophet and priest of Israel. It was Samuel who eventually became God's voice in calling another boy named David to be king. However, it all had to start somewhere, and discovery 2 is about listening for God's call. Let's listen to Samuel's story, asking ourselves, "am I hearing God speak to me today?"
1-2Samuel served the LORD by helping Eli the priest, who was by that time almost blind. In those days, the LORD hardly ever spoke directly to people, and he did not appear to them in dreams very often. But one night, Eli was asleep in his room, 3and Samuel was sleeping on a mat near the sacred chest in the LORD's house. They had not been asleep very long 4when the LORD called out Samuel's name. "Here I am!" Samuel answered. 5Then he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am. What do you want?"
"I didn't call you," Eli answered. "Go back to bed."
6Again the LORD called out Samuel's name. Samuel got up and went to Eli. "Here I am," he said. "What do you want?"
Eli told him, "Son, I didn't call you. Go back to sleep."
7The LORD had not spoken to Samuel before, and Samuel did not recognize the voice. 8When the LORD called out his name for the third time, Samuel went to Eli again and said, "Here I am. What do you want?"
Eli finally realized that it was the LORD who was speaking to Samuel. 9So he said, "Go back and lie down! If someone speaks to you again, answer, `I'm listening, LORD. What do you want me to do?' "
"I'm listening," Samuel answered. "What do you want me to do?"
God's Calling: What are you waiting for?
Worship Leader - How much of prayer is talking to God, and how much is it listening, waiting patiently for God to speak? "Waiting" was the key word for Discovery 3, and the Bible story behind it had to do with a woman who waited a very long time for God's Messiah. Her life was not an easy one, and we shall hear, but her waiting was rewarded. She was there when a young couple brought their baby to the Temple for the first time. Listen.
36The prophet Anna was also there in the temple. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher, and she was very old. In her youth she had been married for seven years, but her husband died. 37And now she was eighty-four years old. Night and day she served God in the temple by praying and often going without eating. 38At that time Anna came in and praised God. She spoke about the child Jesus to everyone who hoped for Jerusalem to be set free.
God's Calling: What do you make of it?
Worship Leader - That baby grew up. When he was the age of some of our children who went to camp this summer, some interesting things happened in that same Temple. His parents didn't exactly know what to make of it all, just like parents today who send their children to camp praying for life changing experiences and then wonder about some of the strange tales they tell when they come home. In this gospel story, Jesus was right where he should have been, but what are we to make of it? What do you make of it?
41Every year Jesus' parents traveled to Jerusalem for the Feast of Passover. 42When he was twelve years old, they went up as they always did for the Feast. 43When it was over and they left for home, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents didn't know it. 44Thinking he was somewhere in the company of pilgrims, they journeyed for a whole day and then began looking for him among relatives and neighbors. 45When they didn't find him, they went back to Jerusalem looking for him.
46The next day they found him in the Temple seated among the teachers, listening to them and asking questions. 47The teachers were all quite taken with him, impressed with the sharpness of his answers. 48But his parents were not impressed; they were upset and hurt.
His mother said, "Young man, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been half out of our minds looking for you."
49He said, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be here, dealing with the things of my Father?" 50But they had no idea what he was talking about.
51So he went back to Nazareth with them, and lived obediently with them. His mother held these things dearly, deep within herself. 52And Jesus matured, growing up in both body and spirit, blessed by both God and people.
God's Calling: Will you share?
Worship Leader - Okay, we're approaching that time in worship when we take up the offering. By the way, if you haven't already, would you fill out and pass down your aisle the attendance pads as the plates are likewise passed? Discovery 5 from camp this summer revolved around our willingness to share. And what better scripture could there be than the story of a young boy, fives loaves and two fish. As you listen, ask yourself, will your share like he did?
1Jesus crossed Lake Galilee, which was also known as Lake Tiberias. 2A large crowd had seen him work miracles to heal the sick, and those people went with him. 3-4It was almost time for the Jewish festival of Passover, and Jesus went up on a mountain with his disciples and sat down. 5When Jesus saw the large crowd coming toward him, he asked Philip, "Where will we get enough food to feed all these people?" 6He said this to test Philip, since he already knew what he was going to do.
7Philip answered, "Don't you know that it would take almost a year's wages just to buy only a little bread for each of these people?" 8Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the disciples. He spoke up and said, 9"There is a boy here who has five small loaves of barley bread and two fish. But what good is that with all these people?" 10The ground was covered with grass, and Jesus told his disciples to have everyone sit down. About five thousand men were in the crowd. 11Jesus took the bread in his hands and gave thanks to God. Then he passed the bread to the people, and he did the same with the fish, until everyone had plenty to eat.
God's Calling: Will you follow?
Worship Leader - Another fish story, this one about God calling Simon Peter and his brother Andrew. They left their nets and went on to, as Jesus said, "fish for people." The last Discovery from camp and for this morning has to do with our own willingness to follow Jesus and go where God is calling us to go and do what God is calling us to do. Are we seeking? Are we listening? Are we waiting? Are we wondering? Are we willing to share? Will we follow? Listen to this last Bible story.
16As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were fishermen and were casting their nets into the lake. 17Jesus said to them, "Come with me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish." 18Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
19Jesus walked on and soon saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets. 20At once Jesus asked them to come with him. They left their father in the boat with the hired workers and went with him.
All campers and helpers come forward and sit on the raised area up front. The microphone will be passed and each given the opportunity to briefly share something from their camp experience this summer.

CINCINNATI (AP) With a matchup against No. 1 Connecticut looming, Tia Gibbs and No. 3 Louisville pulled away from Cincinnati.
The fifth-year senior scored 17 points as the Cardinals beat the Bearcats 75-51 on Saturday.
Cardinals coach Jeff Walz knew his team wouldn't overlook Cincinnati, even though Louisville now owns a six-game winning streak in the series.
If there was any hint of looking ahead, it was in Louisville's 14 turnovers.
Antonita Slaughter added 14 points, Asia Taylor finished with 12 and Shoni Schimmel scored 10, helping keep alive Louisville's bid for a share of the American Athletic Conference championship.
The second-place Cardinals (28-2, 16-1) went into Saturday's game trailing top-ranked and conference-leading Connecticut by one game.
The two are scheduled to meet in the regular-season finale on Monday in Louisville.
The Cardinals have won five straight games since an 81-64 loss at Connecticut on February 9.
Before a crowd of 1,088 on Cincinnati's Senior Day, Bearcats' senior Jeanise Randolph had 22 points and 11 rebounds – her ninth double-double of the season and 14th of her career. She finished a point short of matching her career-high.
"We didn't want to make it all about her, but we ran a couple of plays for her toward the end," Elliott said.
Alyesha Lovett added 15 points for Cincinnati (12-16, 5-12).
Randolph, who was averaging 11.4 points per game, scored 14 in the first half, including a personal 10-2 run that left the Bearcats leading 21-19 with 9:49 remaining before halftime.
Louisville regained the lead on back-to-back conventional three-point plays by Gibbs, and the Cardinals rode eight Cincinnati turnovers to a 18-8 run that left them leading 37-29 at halftime.
The Cardinals limited Cincinnati to 22 points in the second half while adjusting their offense to go inside more. They took the same number of shots from the field in each half, but 15 of them were 3-pointers in the first half and only three were launched from behind the arc after halftime. That helped Louisville improve its shooting percentage from 37.9 (11 of 29) in the first half to 55.2 (16 of 29) in the second.

FP's Guide to the 2020 U.S. Election Debates
Eight things to read before the candidates meet.
By FP Editors

Next week, the campaign season for the 2020 U.S. presidential election will begin in earnest when 20 candidates for the Democratic nomination face off in a two-night series of debates. With so many candidates, it will be difficult for them to differentiate themselves—but foreign policy offers them an opportunity to try.
To show why—and make the stakes clear—we've gathered our top reads on the Democratic front-runners and the challenges facing the party in the year ahead.
So far, the candidates have spent precious little time talking about foreign policy, writes Jonathan Tepperman, the editor in chief of Foreign Policy. For one, few of them "have international experience to draw on." And further, "they know that while American voters do care about foreign policy, especially when it comes to fighting terrorism and protecting U.S. jobs, most don't care about it as much as they do about domestic issues."
But the failure to pay attention to foreign policy is a problem, Tepperman explains, because "many of the threats now facing the country were caused—or at least intensified—by Washington itself." And therein lies an opportunity: "While the United States has made a number of big, consequential mistakes in recent years, the good news is that, what Washington did, it can, in many cases, also undo—or at least work to remedy."
The question for the Democratic presidential candidates, though, is how.
In trying to answer that question, argues Foreign Policy's Michael Hirsh, some of them will have difficulty distinguishing their foreign policies from U.S. President Donald Trump's. "Consider the case of [Elizabeth] Warren, the Massachusetts senator who was the first top-tier Democrat to announce an exploratory committee for a 2020 bid," he writes. "In recent months she has forthrightly endorsed both tariffs and withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria and Afghanistan." Sen. Bernie Sanders, Hirsh continues, "is likely to have even more trouble distinguishing himself from Trump on some issues. The senator, after all, was the original 'Tariff Man.' He promised to impose tariffs on China 'until they stop dumping steel into the United States' during his 2016 presidential campaign."
But the Democrats won't win by being Trump lite on trade, cautions the Council on Foreign Relations' Edward Alden. They've "been so suspicious of trade agreements for many decades, and so tempted by the siren of protectionism, that they now find themselves speechless as Trump continues on a ruinous path." They should stop being so ambivalent on trade, he argues, and focus on what they really oppose: "Republican trade policies that have too often empowered large corporations while negatively impacting many American workers."
At the same time, the party shouldn't drift too far to the left, the economist Joseph Stiglitz told Hirsh in an interview. "To me it's interesting that among young people in New York and California and some other places, the term 'democratic socialist' has no negative overtones," he said. "But we're running a national campaign for the presidency. And you have to understand that's not true everywhere."
Another point of caution comes from Micah Zenko, co-author of the new book Clear and Present Safety. When it comes to Russia, rather than sticking too close to Trump's position, the candidates have gone to the opposite extreme. That's a problem, because "when a political party increases its animus toward a foreign country—believing that this will enhance its own popularity—it introduces second-order effects that can manifest themselves years later. It creates a voting bloc of Americans who become socialized to hate a foreign government and, by extension, its citizens. … More broadly, it engenders hostility between the United States and foreign countries, which makes cooperation over shared problems more difficult and rapprochement unimaginable.
The democratic candidates will also have to reckon with past failures. "Where Democrats must step up if they are to mount a convincing foreign-policy vision," writes Suzanne Nossel, a former deputy assistant secretary of state, "is in addressing the ways in which the Obama administration's progressivism foundered amid internal contradictions, shifting global economic fortunes, and the harsh reality of ascendant global authoritarianism." She cautions that, although Sanders in particular may "sound revolutionary and inspiring in contrast to the misadventures of the Trump administration, a Democratic foreign policy needs to do more than turn back the clock or dress up existing policy formulations with more radical rhetoric."
And on that score, Hirsh argues, front-running candidate Joe Biden's greatest strength—decades of experience—could prove a liability. Trump (and perhaps even other Democrats) will "be able to say—occasionally even with cause—that Biden was part of the problem." Trump, Hirsh continues, "will point out that Biden voted for a disastrous war in Iraq, and he'll try to argue that Biden recklessly provoked Russia. Trump will also no doubt delight in quoting Biden critics, such as former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who wrote in a 2014 memoir that while the former [vice president] was 'impossible not to like,' he 'has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.'"
If Biden does get the nomination, he will have a formidable task ahead, writes James Traub, a fellow at the Center on International Cooperation. "Biden hails from the era when Americans thought that they could see further because they stood taller, as former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright once put it. America no longer stands as tall nor sees as far," he explains. Indeed, whoever eventually wins, "the world will not conform to the wishes of Democratic candidates. The next president will have to confront not only 21st century problems such as climate change and migration, but also 20th-century—and 19th-century—problems of great power rivalry."

Shooting near Beale Street leaves one critical
by: Destinee Hannah, Jordan James
Posted: Aug 7, 2022 / 01:15 PM CDT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man has been listed in critical condition after officers responded to a shooting call on B.B. King Boulevard and Beale Street Sunday morning.
What is being described as peaceful Saturday night on Beale Street took a turn for the worse when gunshots broke out just after 3:00 Sunday morning, near the intersection of BB King Boulevard and Beale Street.
One man was critically injured.
"It was smooth night; it wasn't a lot of people out," said Levi Williams. "It was surprise because I actually thought it was one of the calmer nights and I was out here with my family."
Despite the shock, Williams says it was inevitable due to what he describes as a lack of security enforcement.
"Because they wasn't checking," Williams said. "I walked through the security guard, and he just patted my sides and I walked right through."
The downtown commission charges patrons a security fee to enter Beale Street Friday and Saturday nights. They also claim to wand for weapons starting at 9 p.m. until 3 a.m.
It's unclear if it was heavily enforced Saturday. However, Memphis Police has increased its presence in the area.
In a recent meeting with the city council, Memphis Police Chief CJ Davis says this decision was made based on crime trends.
"As you know, one of focuses was to quickly assign more officers in the downtown space," Davis said. "Our assignment and deployment of officers is not a cookie cutter approach. It's more of what is the demand, what is the increases?"
Data from the city shows around the entertainment district there have been more than 1800 crimes reported this year. It's a stat that Memphians believes underscores the need for changes.
"It makes you unsafe," Williams said. "It makes you very unsafe not to go out. You have to go out in the daytime where you feel like there is no crime."
No arrests have been made at this time. Police do not have any suspect information.
Call (901)-528-CASH with any information on this shooting.

The Legend of the Aap
February 16, 2014 Author: Khmer440 Category: Commentary
Pedro takes a look at the body-less monster of Khmer villages, the Aap.
"Do you believe in ghosts?" is a question sometimes asked after conversations about rice and money have been exhausted. "Believe!" is the emphatic answer. When prodded on the subject further, the admission is usually "Believe, but never see……"
If pushed, I may treat them to my own tale about how I saw a man walk across my yard one moonless night and disappear behind a tree- never to be seen again. Admittedly I had been drinking cheap Sir Edwards whisky, and it was only from the corner of one eye that I saw it. Yet, something happened and it's a lot simpler to cry ghost than accept that a combination of half a bottle of blended Scotch, a trick of the light and a brain pushed hard by 'happy trippy hippie' came up with the apparition.
Cambodians can basically be divided into two groups – the urbanites (who, depending on the length spent away from the countryside are, in general, considered better educated and more used to outside stimuli) and the country bumpkins (seen by the long term city residents as stupid, uneducated who get to stare at cows and rice fields all day long).
Of course this line is becoming blurred as town and country merge, but remains essentially true. Superstitions are rife in both town and country, but, away from the neon and noise, where the nights are long and dark, the fear of one particular nocturnal monster strikes fear into the hearts of children and grownups alike.
The Aap (អាប) has to be one of the greatest ways to scare the young 'uns shitless before bedtime. As with most oral folklore the details alter from person to person, but essentially the Cambodian countryside is terrorised by a dung eating, blood sucking, floating head of a woman, with entrails flowing around it. Oh, and it glows an ethereal green.
As Khmers are often fond of pointing out, anything good in neighbouring Thailand was originally from Cambodia before the dastardly Siamese pinched it and the Aap is no exception, although nest door it's known as the Krasue. The origins of the Krasue are different from the Aap, as in Thai mythology a Khmer princess, betrothed to a Siamese big shot, was caught indulging in a bit of boom-boom with a common soldier. Understandably peeved, the lord decided that burning to death the girl he was sweet on was the only course of action. We've all been there.
The princess somehow managed to get a Khmer sorceress to whip up a bit of black magic to save her from the flames, but alas, in those days of yore locals timekeeping was similar to now, and the spell arrived a bit late, only working on the head and some of the bowels. Now immortal, the Khmer Krasue was born and free to fly about drinking blood around Thailand and Laos.
Cambodians have a different story, where the Aap is not the one entity, but contagious through either dabbling in witchcraft (when black magic goes wrong), passed down from mother to daughter, or from drinking water an Aap has spat in. Men can rest easy on this one, as only the fairer sex can become infected – blood and woman, there seems something Freudian in that.
Therefore, any lady, young or old might be an Aap, and, come evening, cut loose from the body and get up to no good. In a similar way that harmless crones were persecuted as witches back in Europe and the USA, Khmers will still denounce woman as being Aap.
The Aap is said to be highly attracted to blood but when it cannot satisfy itself, it will eat shit, frogs and sometimes chickens found in the rice fields. Some also say that Aaps have a taste for young babies. When yet one more bundle of joy is dropped into a village shack, it is often custom to bury the placenta deep beneath a thorn tree and place thorn branches around the windows and doors of the house to ward off those ladies in the village who might turn into Aap at night time.
Mrs Pedro told me a story of a local woman thought to be Aap. As a kid, when Papa was at work, her own mother popped out another one of the 7 kids in the one room hut (by itself, a testament to the hardness of village ladies). The first visitor to this happy scene was an old girl, rumoured to be involved in a bit of sorcery (love potions, healing herbs and the like). She had already been labelled an Aap by others, and, as she had walked a whopping 1.5km just in time to witness the natural bloodbath….. it was if she could smell it….. The prosecution rests, Your Honour. Throughout her childhood, Mrs P and most of the village were convinced this lady would take nightly jaunts away from her torso. "Believe but never see."
Let's get critical. As much as I "Know what I saw" with my own supernatural spooking, I can readily admit that the brain makes mistakes. Cambodia, like much of SE Asia, has a deep rooted tradition of animism and spiritual belief beneath a thin façade of Buddhism. With the not so distant history of mass slaughter, it would be reasonable to suppose that, should ghosts exist, then Cambodia would be a paranormal nirvana.
In a conservative culture, much is gained by fear of the dark – your daughter can't get knocked up and your son won't become a hoodlum if they are tucked up in bed by around 8pm. A couple of decades of war and subsequent banditry also made Cambodia a pretty dangerous place – out in the provinces rapes, murders, savage beatings and traffic accidents are still commonplace. A bogeyman detracts from the real problems of society and functions as a face saving nod to the fact that it's fucked up outside, whilst not naming or dealing with the real causes.
As for the Aap, I have a theory or three. First is cultural – a ghost story told to kids, which has become the subject of several ghost movies filmed in Thailand and Cambodia and has been viewed by Cambodian youth almost as a documentary. To a susceptible bunch of people, it's already ingrained as fact.
Next is the science- the Aap is said to glow fluro green, perhaps the same hue as burning methane – known as marsh gas, which is also attributed to the will-o-the-wisp phenomena in Europe. Then comes the witnesses and geography.
Your average Cambodian/Thai/Laotian rice farmer is pretty short, and rice can grow to about shoulder height of a pretty short rice farmer. These guys like nothing more than to drink quite powerful hooch and have not so happy wives waiting for them back at home. Could it be that a peasant, with an overactive imagination, trippin'on moonshine, could see a natural blaze of marsh gas, and perhaps glimpse another equally pissed up farmer stumbling about, with only his head visible above the grass?
"No love, I was just coming home, when I was chased by the Aap" is probably a plausible excuse for returned shite-faced and covered in filth.
Whatever the source and propagation, the myth of the Krasue in Thai, Krasu in Laos, Hantu Penanggal of Malaysia and Phillipines, Leyak in Indonesia, Mai Lai to the Vietnamese and, of course the Cambodian Aap is widespread across the region and taken seriously. As a fairly educated Khmer said to me, as I was researching the topic "How can something known to so many people in different countries not be real?"
Just remember, the Aap can be killed by fire, joining the wrong headless torso, or not getting back to its own body by dawn. Knowledge is power, my friends, so don't say I didn't warn you.

Film What's On
Johnny English Strikes Again, but does it hit the mark?
September 19, 2018 September 19, 2018 Editor 489 Views ben miller, emma thompson, Film Review, Ingrid Grenar, Ingrid Grenar review, jack lacy, Johnny English, Johnny English Strikes Again, Johnny English Strikes Again review, Movie review, rowan atkinson
Johnny English strikes again in the third film in the series, Johnny English Strikes Again. That opening sentence is almost as clumsy as our beloved Mr Bean come hapless spy English, Johnny English.
The scene is set in minutes. All British MI6 agents identities have been compromised via a cyber attack. Britain is under threat but with no secret service remaining, the retired spies must be restored to help solve the case and take down this pesky hacker. After an incident with a grenade pen, Johnny English reigns supreme and is selected as the man for the job. He's entering a new digital world of devices, gobbledygook and hybrid cars and he's stumbling all the way through it. The secret service is now cloaked in wavers and health and safety red tape but that doesn't stop English from getting his Aston Martin.
If you didn't like the previous English films there's no chance of him redeeming himself here. However, if you're a Rowan Atkinson fan, a Mr Bean fan and even a classic Bond fan then you might find something to enjoy.
The cast is brilliant, Emma Thompson shines as a desperate PM trying to not only save the country but also create a new legacy. Jack Lacy plays Jason the Zuckerberg-Musk-esq tech billionaire brilliantly bringing charm and perfectly hammed up villainous turns to his screen time. Trusty loyal sidekick Bough, played by Ben Miller, is as always a charming unassuming 'brains' behind the due. And, the gorgeous Olga Kurylenko is Ophelia, the perfect spy love interest and as always there's plenty more than meets the eye when it comes to her talents.
A running joke throughout is English's 'fish out of water' when encountering any 'new tech'. Occasionally it works, but mostly it just feels too obvious. I don't think anyone is going to do the Spy in the wrong era as well as Austin Powers EVER. Obviously, Atkinson's rubber-faced antics are used often and we know he can pull off great physical comedy (I'm a huge Mr Bean fan). There's no doubting his talent, and this character does bring a smile to my face, but there's just not enough to work with here.
Overall, the film is a little tired – there's not sufficient material to stretch to a feature. That said, there are probably a few key sequences that did raise evoke some chuckles and raise the enjoyment level: the epic dance/assassination attempt, under the influence driving and a virtual reality immersive experience which goes off-piste. However, for the majority of the film you can see any jokes or set-up coming so far off you are just counting the minutes for them to get to the joke already!
Johnny English has many accidental successes, and maybe this third film in the franchise will be another. In parts, it's a great family film full of silliness, slapstick and slow-moving knights but unfortunately, it just feels that it's really time for this spy to hang his gadgets.
Johnny English is out in NZ cinemas from 20 September.

In this season of renewal, I'm reflecting on our value of 'shared stewardship' and its importance in the midst of change and transition.
Shared stewardship implies we all have a responsibility to take care of each other and this community. Incourage believes our role in shared stewardship requires an approach that seeks balance between change and preservation – with an unwavering commitment to the common good.
With the passing of time, I see our community transitioning and beginning to shape a new identity: an identity that reflects an appreciation of community assets, a sense of possibility and engaged residents, businesses and organizations. An identity that respects the past and looks to the future.
Tribune represents both our past and our future. And, as I've said many times, Tribune is about more than the building. The development process itself demonstrates this. Our motivation wasn't simply to renovate a building or improve downtown. We set out to support new capabilities that enable resident-centered and community driven decision-making; the type of decision-making that is essential to realize shared stewardship, inclusive economic growth and long-term sustainable change.
Recognition of these capabilities in the form of increased civic engagement has been lauded recently by elected officials – including local, state and national – who've received residents' advocacy efforts for Tribune support over the past year, in volumes they'd previously not experienced from our community.
This civic engagement is just one example of how priorities identified by over 4,000 residents in our 2012 Community Survey, particularly 'openness to new ideas and change,' are being realized.
Five years later, with the 2017 Community Survey currently underway, we're witnessing an increased desire to be involved through the number of requests received for 'community conversations' – deeper discussions hosted by residents representing many facets of our community. This is another encouraging indicator of positive change and increased engagement. Results will be presented at a community forum on March 13, 2018 at the Performing Arts Center of Wisconsin Rapids.
Stewardship that balances meeting changing needs and preservation has been in Incourage's DNA since inception.
We adapt when necessary to best address the community's changing needs – such as seeding new approaches in workforce development strategies, as we have this past decade. Today, those seeds are growing strong and evolving in multiple ways that build capabilities and increase capacity across the community.
Incourage does this work while preserving our core values and beliefs. We believe that all human beings have value and should have equal opportunity; that positive change happens when people are engaged in decisions that affect their lives; and when they feel a sense of ownership and shared responsibility for their community. We believe we are better together.
In looking forward to 2018, I feel we are turning the corner in terms of progress in one of the most important and 'least measurable' areas that will define our future success: belief in ourselves and this community.
I hear residents, young and old, asking questions, exploring possibilities and working together in new ways.
I hear an emerging belief that we know this place is worth investing in – so important, as shared stewardship falls flat when you do not value what you're stewarding.
There is a growing sense of pride in our place. I listen for it, nurture it and hope you will, too.

Friends Society
Welcome from the Friends Society chair, Philip Waters
When a number of us thought about the prospect of impending retirement a few years ago, our minds turned as to how we could keep in touch with who would soon become former colleagues. Furthermore, how might we keep up to date with news and information about the University, and how we might support the University in the future? There was no obvious route for those things to happen in existence hence, the idea of the Friends Society was born.
The Friends Society is open to former staff and governors and has been a great success with regular communications inviting colleagues to a number of events being circulated to the group. It is good to be able to keep in touch with former colleagues, attend University events as well as coffee mornings, tours of new facilities and enjoy reception events arranged specifically with the Friends Society in mind.
Please spread the word about the Society to other former colleagues you are in contact with and encourage them to take part and help build our growing University community.
I look forward to seeing you at the University again soon.
Jill Wakeling, Friends Society Committee member
After working at the university for over 25 years, the Friends Society has enabled me to keep in contact with former colleagues. It also gives me the opportunity to see what is going on within the University of Hertfordshire community.
Members receive invitations to attend events such as coffee mornings, lectures and campus tours. All of these have proved to be very popular with the Friends.
Other benefits include access to beneficial rates at the Hertfordshire Sports Village and joining in with Staff Society events. Being a member of the Friends Society is a very positive experience.

The latest polls in the conventional swing states show a close race, with neither Mitt Romney nor Barack Obama clearly ahead. Yet they also show a surprising number of formerly solid blue states now within Romney's reach.
The rust belt is creakily swinging, according to new polls in Wisconsin, Michigan and even Pennsylvania, where a Franklin and Marshall poll released on Halloween has Obama up by just 4 points, within the margin of error, and under 50 percent.
But what surprised me the most are the new polls from Minnesota and Oregon (my home state).
Take Oregon first, which has not voted for a Republican candidate for president since Ronald Reagan's landslide in 1984.
Two separate polls of likely voters released in late October show Obama at the 47 percent mark -- with Romney at either 41 percent or 42 percent. Obama is under 50 percent and Romney is within or almost within the margin of error. And undecided voters break 2-1 for Romney when pushed.
Tim Nashif, CEO of Gateway Communications, which owns the Hoffman Research polling company, told me via email that he doesn't expect Romney to pull out an actual win in Oregon. Yet, "it is so close. If Oregon is indicative of the rest of the nation, there could be some surprises in other states on Nov. 6."
Minnesota has not voted for a Republican since Richard Nixon trounced George McGovern in 1972. Yet a new Star-Tribune poll of 800 likely voters has the race in a statistical dead heat, with President Obama leading 47 percent to 44 percent, within the margin of error (and under 50 percent). In Minnesota, Romney may be benefiting in that state from President Obama's endorsement of gay marriage at a time when voters are highly aware of the issue because they are voting on gay marriage Nov. 6.
Eager Republicans are beginning to smell from these polls a possible historic landslide for Romney.
But here's the weird thing: If Republicans have a shot at Oregon and Minnesota, then the traditional swing states like Nevada and Colorado and Iowa should all be in Romney's bag.
Maybe a landslide is in the offing, but here's another possibility: a re-drawing of the conventional electoral map, as polls also reveal striking strength for Obama in states that the GOP recently considered must-wins: Colorado, Iowa, Virginia, North Carolina and Nevada remain tied, or with slight Obama leads.
Of all these, polls in Nevada are the most ominous.
Nevada should be a lock for Romney. It has an unemployment rate of almost 12 percent, and when discouraged workers are added in, its unemployment rate is over 21 percent. Median household income collapsed from $59,833 in 2008 to $48,927 in 2011. But the latest Gravis Marketing poll of 955 likely voters taken Oct. 24 shows Obama at 50 percent, Romney at 49 percent with a 3.2 percent margin of error.
What does this tell us? Whether or not Romney wins, Republicans must address their structural weakness with Latino voters.
If it's this close in Nevada, where Latinos make up more than a quarter of the vote, and the economy is this bad, conservatives need new strategies. Bringing out mariachi bands and chatting in Spanish every four years is not going to do the trick over the long haul, as the electorate becomes more Latino.
How? Here's a hint: Rather than putting corporate voices in charge, the key will be to bring religious conservative leaders forward -- to speak for the working class in this country, which has been unfairly tarred as racist for their reasonable human concerns about unlawful immigration -- but also to offer new help to children of immigrants stuck between the law and a hard place. The growing evangelical Latino presence, the Mormon church's strongly pro-immigrant stance, and the Southern Baptists' pro-immigration policies all suggest this is not a pie-in-the-sky suggestion.
For myself, as a first step this November, I'm going to do what my own Roman Catholic church has asked me to do at the ballot box in Maryland: vote against gay marriage and for the Maryland Dream Act, which gives children of illegal immigrants who graduate from Maryland high schools and pay Maryland taxes the right to in-state tuition at Maryland colleges, regardless of immigration status.


Don't act surprised—we both knew AC Schnitzer wasn't just going to sit on its hands and let the BMW M3 and M4 go un-tuned. With the BMW M3 and M4 by AC Schnitzer, the familiar tuner recipe is every bit as alluring as the German outfit's past undertakings.
At the heart of the AC Schnitzer M3 and M4 is an upgraded powerplant, courtesy of a tweaked ECU. Electronic fiddling with the 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six bumps output up from the standard 425 hp and 406 lb-ft to a much more hefty 503 hp and 476 lb-ft. Those power and torque figures even best those of the 2016 BMW M4 GTS, which tops out at 493 hp and 442 lb-ft. Yikes.
To make sure the world knows damn well about your added muscle, AC Schnitzer prepped its M3 and M4 with its own special exhaust kit, featuring Sport or Sport Black tailpipes, as well as available flap control, exhaust traps, and sound pipes.
No tuner M3 is complete without a bit of a slam, and the AC Schnitzer version offers a pair of options on that front. First is a spring kit that drops the front and rear by about 1 inch and 0.5 inches, respectively. Second is an adjustable racing coilover suspension that drops the front by as much as 1.6 inches and the rear 1.2 inches. The tuner claims its M3 and M4 will be capable of even higher cornering speeds with its upgraded suspension, which is a little terrifying given how the stock sport sedan already scoots around a road course.
All of AC Schnitzer's downforce-improving aero bits probably help, too. You can opt for the whole kit or any individual parts, but the whole enchilada includes a carbon-fiber front spoiler, racing front splitter, carbon front side wings, a carbon rear wing in your choice of two heights, carbon rear diffuser, rear roof spoiler, and carbon mirror covers. There is a range of wheel choices ranging from 19 to 21 inches in either aluminum or forged aluminum. And inside you'll get a custom feel with aluminum pedals, gear shifter, and handbrake handle, as well as velour mats.

I WAS in a mutual relationship with a batchmate until December of last year when I decided to break it off. I made it clear to him at that point that I still like him, and that my reasons for doing so included my problems in handling relationships, committing being nowhere in my plans, and my ongoing family issue that caused me to think i should focus more on my family. Besides that, i never considered putting a label in our relationship, because i thought i'm still immature for these things. Now, we have grown distant and we don't interact anymore. However, a friend told me that I can still bring us back together, BUT i only have until the end of this month to fix things. Yes, i still like him. However, i feel troubled enough with the thought that i already hurt him and that he is already in the process of moving on. I'm so confused. I want to fix our relationship even without the label, and at the same time, I already accept our situation right now and the consequences entailed to my decision. What should I do?
Why the heck would you have only until the end of the month?
This isn't a friend, this is an agent of your 'ex' delivering an ultimatum on his behalf. You should welcome a total separation from him. this was a chickenshit move on his part and your friend should be ashamed for participating.
Leave it. You broke up for a reason and that hasn't changed. Your ex is totally communicating through your friend and that's really lame on both their parts. Focus on yourself and family. When you're more ready to date you can.
You want to be in a relationship with this person but don't want the relationship part? I think you need to do some soul-searching and define what it is you're looking for.
What is the issue? Is it the truly just the label you don't like? Is it that you don't want to be monogamous with anyone? Why do these feelings make you think you're immature?
This are things you'll have to define and figure out going forward if you want to be successful dating in the future, whether it's with this person or anyone else.
First I looked up batchmate.
Noun. batchmate (plural batchmates) (India) classmate. (Chiefly South Asian and Philippine English) A member of the same graduation class as another. (Chiefly South Asian and Philippine English) A member of a batch.
If I'm understanding what you wrote you don't want a committed relationship and you don't want to be boyfriend/girlfriend but you would like the relationship you had before?
If the two of you want different things from the relationship then you aren't compatible and you shouldn't try to rekindle it. If they want more than you do then leave it alone and let him move on.
Forget this batch mate. You don't have the time or emotional energy for this, and he doesn't have the maturity to bridge the gap.
You listed a lot of reasons why you shouldn't be in a relationship with him. Just because you miss him or don't want to be single isn't a reason to ignore all those.

Battle of Rakvere
The Livonian Brothers of the Sword are defeated by Dovmont of Pskov in the Battle of Rakvere. The Battle of Wesenberg, Rakvere or Rakovor was a battle fought on February 18, 1268, between the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights and a coalition of Russian princes. The Knights were beaten so thoroughly that they would not undertake a new campaign against Northern Russia for the following thirty years. The two armies clashed within 7.5 kilometers (roughly 4.5 miles) from the Livonian town of Wesenberg (Rakvere, Rakovor). Russian forces, numbering up to 30,000 troops, were led by Dmitry of Pereslavl (representing the Novgorod Republic) together with his future son-in-law, Daumantas of Pskov (representing the Pskov Republic).

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.

Röyksopp's Night Out is an extended play (EP) by Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp. It contains live recordings from the duo's concert at Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo, Norway, in November 2005.

Background
The EP was released domestically on 27 January 2006. Röyksopp has stated that the EP was originally meant for the Japanese fans, the most enthusiastic Röyksopp fans, according to the band members. All of the vocalists who contributed on Röyksopp's second studio album, The Understanding (2005), except Karin Dreijer (who was replaced by Norwegian singer Anneli Drecker) were present at the concert. The EP also includes a remixed cover version of the Queens of the Stone Age song "Go with the Flow".

The EP was named after a song from their debut album, Melody A.M. (2001), though the song was not performed.
