Social support for women who are abused in heterosexual relationships.
Previous studies of social support for abused women have reported both supportive and unsupportive responses from friends and relatives to disclosures of abuse. Little attention has been paid to factors that influence such support. The present study examined influences on social support for abused women and on how it was evaluated. Of particular interest was the impact of the confidants' experiences of abuse. Other potential influences included the abused women's and their confidants' attributions for the abuse, the confidants' attitude toward abuse and loyalty to the abusive partner, the prior relationship history of the confidants and the abused women, and the abused women's beliefs about help-seeking. Three hundred and six female undergraduates completed extensive surveys assessing their experiences of abuse, disclosure, and social support, as well as their experiences with other women's disclosures of abuse and their responses. Factors influencing social support and the evaluation of support were identified through regression analyses. When women disclose abuse that was verbal in nature, the tendency toward unsupportive responses n increased if their chosen confidant had experienced more severe abuse. This finding suggests that the disparity in experiences of abuse has deleterious effects on social support for abused women. Moreover, the shared experiences of abuse do not necessarily facilitate supportive responses to disclosures. Other impediments to effective social support included the confidants' loyalty to women's abusive partners and a history of conflict with the confidants. Confidants' and women's attributions for their abuse also influenced the evaluation of support. Suggestions for future studies of social support for abused women and for interventions based on the findings of the present study are presented.Dept. of Psychology.

Genocide vs. War
Wednesday, August 13, 2014 Wednesday, August 13, 2014 ~ Adam Kotsko
I think we can all agree that the reality that the term "genocide" is meant to represent — the systematic destruction of a race or ethnic group — is a horrible crime. Everyone is obviously against "genocide," and that is precisely what makes it such a potent tool in legitimating war. Virtually any war could be presented as genocide, because the point of war is to use violence against an enemy group until they either submit or are destroyed.
Civilian deaths can't serve as the criterion, because contemporary military techniques make civilian deaths inevitable. Even worse, it is difficult to distinguish between combatants and civilians outside the highly idealized context of two recognized nation-states facing off using only uniformed troops.
The difference, in both cases, is intention. They want to kill for the sheer sake of killing, while we do so with deep regret. They hope to kill the maximum number of civilians, while we regard it as tragically unavoidable "collateral damage."
The parallels with the use of "terrorism" are striking. Again, we can surely all agree that the reality that the term "terrorism" is meant to represent — random violence for the purposes of terrorizing the population at large — is a horrible crime. But here again, it seems that war in general is terrorism by this definition. As is well known, in the ultimate "Just War" (World War II), the US purposely targetted civilians (including with nuclear weapons!), not for purely strategic reasons, but precisely to break the spirit of the population as a whole. How can we distinguish those campaigns, or subsequent ones like the carpet-bombing of Vietnam and Cambodia or "Shock and Awe," from terrorism?
Again, the difference is intention. Terrorists kill out of motiveless malignancy, while we have a good reason. In other words, they're evil, while we're good — hence whatever they do is definitionally evil, and whatever we do is definitionally good.
For the purposes of political discussion, then, I propose that we redefine both terms. Genocide is a term for acts of violence by a state or state-like actor that is not allied with the West. Terrorism is a term for acts of violence by a non-state entity that is not allied with the West. In this respect, both belong to the legacy of Cold War political moralism — where "totalitarianism" designates political systems other than liberal democracy in countries not allied with the West, for instance, or "human rights violations" are, for all practical purposes, definitionally only committed by countries not allied with the West.
It's like Schmitt says — a claim to transcend politics, as in the postwar attempt to translate politics and war into the sphere of morality, is one of the most aggressive possible political moves.

Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide in the 1940s because at that time there was no in international law for naming the government-sponsored killing of citizens based on their genos. In this sense, genocide is not an attack on another state. That is what war is. So, to me, the difference is clear.
The strict sense of the term and concept remain essential because without them even before the eyes of an international court genocide is legal. The paradigmatic case for Lemkin was not just the Holocaust but also the Armenian genocide. In both of those cases, as in most cases of genocide, the international community did not intervene until much too late. He hoped having a legal concept of genocide could change that.
Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 12:44 pm
For reference and for those unfamiliar with Schmitt's argument:
"Nothing can escape this logical conclusion of the political. If pacifist hostility toward war were so strong as to drive pacifists into a war against nonpacifists, in a war against war, that would prove that pacifism truly possesses political energy because it is sufficiently strong to group men according to friend and enemy. If, in fact, the will to abolish war is so strong that it no longer shuns war, then it has become a political motive, i.e., it affirms, even if only as an extreme possibility, war and even the reason for war. Presently this appears to be a peculiar way of justifying wars. The war is then considered to constitute the absolute last war of humanity. Such a war is necessarily unusually intense and inhuman because, by transcending the limits of the political framework, it simultaneously degrades the enemy into moral and other categories and is forced to make of him a monster that must not only be defeated but also utterly destroyed. In other words, he is an enemy who no longer must be compelled to retreat into his borders only. The feasibility of such war is particularly illustrative of the fact that war as a real possibility is still present today, and this fact is crucial for the friend-and enemy antithesis and for the recognition of politics." (The Concept of the Political, tr. George Schwab, University of Chicago Press, [1932]1996, pp. 36-37)

If I recall correctly, much of the International Relations writing on genocide (of the Samantha Power variety) focuses on the question of numbers (this is what Badiou was writing against, i think, in his Ethics book?) The problem, if I am remembering right, is that genocide seems to correspond with a "numerical grotesque"–6 million, paradigmatically–and thus a "count" should set the threshold of "genocide." But that would have the effect of licensing the mass murder of so many thousands or millions below a given threshold. Thus, the adoption of Lemkin's much more abstract and eclectic criteria, which have had the unfortunate effect of providing a pretext for more or less any act of Western aggression (while also opening up a crucial "negation of the negation" in cases that are clearly pre-"genocidal," such as Gaza, and yet cannot be recognized as such in Western diplomatic discourse for complicated reasons). I'm not being very clear here, I worry: I suppose what I would want to add to the discussion is the question of "number" and "counting" vis-a-vis the question of genocide in the context of left metaphysics/political theology.
Advocatus Diaboli says:
Long time lurker and fan here. Genocide can never be legal.
In international criminal law the term captures acts directed against "a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such". All is in the "as such" so even wars against states can very well be genocidal if the requisite intention is made out. However you need a court with jurisdiction to make that declaration authoritatively and such a universal court does not yet exist.
Therefore the gap is not in the law but in the institutional architecture where some actors are powerful beyond the legal/illegal distinction. Indeed (Schmitt and Agamben are best at explaining this) their word has the force of law simultaneously with their force being beyond the law.

A tour of Windsor Castle was on our list of activities for our three full days staying directly across the street from the castle at Clarion Collection Harte & Garter Hotel during the post-Christmas week. The view from our room provided a couple of days for viewing visitor lines on the streets below for Windsor Castle tours. Our tour date was on our third full day staying in town.
The focus of this article is the buying a ticket and actual self-guided tour logistics of Windsor Castle more than a description of the sights at Windsor Castle.
My main piece of advice is book your ticket online before arrival.
When I checked the website on Dec 27 to buy Windsor Castle tour tickets I found tickets unavailable for Dec 27 or Dec 28. I bought two tickets for Dec 29.
Tickets are valid for the date with no specific time of arrival. Castle admission seasonal hours Nov 1-Feb 28 are 10:00-15:00 with castle closure at 16:15. Mar 1-Oct 31 hours are extended one hour to 16:00 last admission and 17:15 castle closure to visitors. We stayed a little over 3 hours and listened to every piece of the self-selected audio guide tour.
The castle is busiest in the morning. Afternoon arrivals tend to be a shorter line according to the website and my own observations.
Lines were long every morning starting around 9am and extended down the street by the time of the 10am visitor center opening. Both sides of the street were packed by 10am on Thursday and Saturday mornings during our stay in town with 11am 'Changing of the Guard' ceremonies. A band marched from Windsor's Victoria Barracks along High Street and through King Henry VIII gate shortly before 11am and then exited King Henry VIII gate around 11:15am.
Kelley got a kick out of the band playing the Star Wars theme, along with a variety of Christmas holiday songs.
Windsor Castle tours begin at the visitor entrance on Castle Hill to the right of the street gate barricade. The arrow on the YouTube video points to the location of the entrance gate.
We had tickets for December 29, 2018. Not knowing which side of the street we needed to join the line, I asked a police officer who directed us to join the line on the right side of Castle Hill road at the visitor entrance rather than the line winding around the castle and down the hill.
Windsor Castle tour line winding down hill around castle at 11:44am on Saturday Dec 29.
Apparently the really long line we saw winding around Windsor Castle each day is for people who do not have tickets specifically for the date. From my own observations and web comments, it appeared you might wait for two hours to be admitted on a standby basis. One morning I estimated about 300 to 400 people in line and it looked like every 5 minutes the police allowed 15 visitors to cross the street to the castle entrance line.
Windsor mews on left side of road where ticket holders queue.
We were in a much shorter line across the street from Windsor Castle that wound around the sidewalk behind Windsor Parish Church. The Royal Mews are also along this street. From the mews gates it probably takes about 30-40 minutes to reach the ticket counter inside the castle entrance.

We reached the doorway to the visitor entrance building after about 20 minutes wait in line from where we started behind Windsor Parish Church. Another 10 minutes to reach one of six registers and exchange our mobile online ticket order confirmation number for paper tickets to Windsor Castle.

Then, another 10 minutes in line to pass through security and bag check screening, similar to an airport security line.
After about 40 minutes in all to get inside Windsor Castle, we were outside again beside a small parking lot with toilet facilities.

At booths up the road we picked up the audio guide device and headphones. These are included in the ticket price for a self-guided tour experience.
Station on left is where audio device and headphones are picked up for self-guided tour.
Windsor Castle Tour Tip: Check your audio guide and headphones before walking through the castle wall gate. I realized after a minute or two that my setup was not functioning properly with scratchy sound and audio going in and out. I returned to the station to change audio device and then realized it was the headphones that were crap. After a delay of 5 minutes, since there were no headphones remaining, new boxes of headphones were delivered and I was good to go back through the castle gate.

Suffice to say that the State Apartments of Windsor Castle offer some splendid rooms and objects to admire. Woodwork and decor are impressive. A painting by Titian is one that impressed me with a memory of seeing a very special piece of art. There was a Rembrandt too. Lots of armor and beautiful furniture. Kelley and I listened to every audio link on the guide for every room we visited.
One of the highlights of the State Apartments tour was a special exhibit for 'A Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex'.
A Royal Wedding special exhibit Oct 26, 2018-Jan 6, 2019 featured Meghan Markle's wedding dress and Prince Harry's uniform in one of the State Rooms.
No photography is allowed inside Windsor Castle buildings.
A hallway inside the State Rooms that normally displays some of the china collection was lined with large prints from the June 2018 Royal Wedding of Harry & Meghan leading into the Grand Reception room where her Givenchy wedding dress displaying the full train in a long glass case allowed visitors to walk nearly 360-degrees around the room and admire the spectacular lacework. Kelley pointed out California poppies to me among the different flower designs along the edge of the train. Photos of her wedding dress can be seen in Town & Country. Prince Harry's uniform and the Meghan's dress were so well displayed that the only missing aspect were real bodies inside the clothes.
After the Windsor Castle State Apartments tour of the castle interior inside the Upper Ward, we exited past the gift shop and outside onto another gated viewing point of the Upper Ward. The photo below is taken from the opposite side of the Upper Ward near the Charles II statue with a view to the private residence part of Windsor Castle.

After the tour we exited through Norman Gate back into the Middle Ward walled garden beneath the Round Tower.

One more gift shop by Henry VIII Gate visitor exit to Windsor Castle gave Kelley one more chance to shop. Then we were out of the castle a few minutes before 4:15 closing.

Outside Windsor Castle in the King Henry VIII gate entrance I snapped one last photo of a December sunset in Windsor with a view to the Clarion Collection Harte & Garter Hotel. The second and third windows on the top floor on right side of photo shows our room #405 with white towels seen in the open window.

Earlier this year, Starbucks announced plans to close all of their mall-based Teavana shops by early 2018. All 379 Teavana stores will be shut down in the coming year because they have not demonstrated enough profitability for Starbucks to keep them open for business. Even after Starbuck's best effort to bring about change in their subsidiary company, they were unable to grow Teavana into the monster they needed for it to be. As an avid tea drinker, this came as VERY sad news.
Teavana created a few key teas that I'd buy but even then, the majority of my teas were actually purchased elsewhere. I think this was due to a combination of factors. First of all, Teavana was overpriced for the quality of the tea sold. I know they were gunning for a fancy high-end tea store vibe but realistically, it was hard to justify spending that much money on tea leaves when better ones could be purchased elsewhere for less. In fact, other shops have less expensive tea that tastes better! To be fair, you pay for convenience. Wasn't it nice having such large chain like Teavana in your local mall?
I'll miss Teavana for the simple joy of seeing tea stores. In America, it actually makes me sad how nonexistent our tea culture is! People take so much pride in buying their $5.00 Starbucks coffee everyday yet you have to go so far out of your way just to find a place that sells loose leave teas. Sometimes it is impossible! Sorry, teabags just don't cut it.
Why is tea not more popular in the USA? I really don't understand. To me, it feels like this hidden gem in America. Tea has so many health benefits and it is pleasant to drink. The smell is calming and its taste is gentle. The caffeine content, which ranges depending on the type of tea, is minimal so you can enjoy a boost of energy and mental clarity without getting jittery as you might from coffee or an energy drink. Alertness and focus, all without the coffee caffeine crash. What a sweet deal!
If you're a tea drinker like me and you are concerned about Teavana closing, all hope is NOT lost. We still have options: some pretty great ones too!
My recommendation is to shop on Adagio. I first discovered Adagio about a year ago. I ordered their Premium Dragonwell Green Tea after my tea from China ran out. I bought their largest size (16 ounces) and it lasted me one whole year. I made the tea often too! Almost every day. Excellent quality, freshness, and taste for the price.
Adagio offers FREE shipping if you spend over $25.00.
For committed tea drinkers and ex-Teavana customers, Adagio is offering a VERY nice gesture to help ease the transition. If you e-mail them a copy of your Teavana receipt from October 31 or earlier along with your mailing address at [email protected] they will send you a FREE sampler set with 5 of their newest blends made with Teavana customers in mind. Many of their NEW blends are wonderful replacements to the most popular Teavana teas that we're now parting from! I was especially excited to see they've now introduced their own version of a Samurai Mate and White Avurvedic Chai. These were two Teavana staples you would often find at the entrance of their stores for shoppers to sample.
Call Me Crazy. I Quit My Full Time Job and Here's Why.
I did not know that Starbucks owned Teavana. I have one been to 1-2 when I have been out of town. None close by to me at all.
I really feel you on tea being this "hidden gem" like you put it, in the U.S. Good loose-leaf tea isn't common in the mainstream…yet it's cheap, easy to get into, and incredibly enjoyable. I come from a family of tea drinkers so I sort of take it for granted, but for large segments of America, tea isn't really a thing…they just know the lipton tea bags and maybe a few of the mainstream tea bag brands that you can get in the supermarket, flavored teas and herbal blends, which can be enjoyable…but they're pretty far from the sort of tea I ended up getting really into.
I don't know if you know about it, but I run RateTea, a social review site for tea drinkers, and I'm hoping to use it to spark a greater interest in tea in society as a whole.
I like that you are highlighting Adagio here! I like Adagio a lot better than Teavana, and I am hoping that the Teavana closure will help Adagio. Both Teavana and Adagio are companies that I think get a lot of people into tea, but I think there's something a bit more wholesome about Adagio.
I think people may exaggerate how much cheaper they are (in my opinion Teavana wasn't that much more expensive, for similar teas), but I still prefer the company for a range of other reasons. They have much more straightforward / honest marketing, for one. Teavana's online marketing was kind of flowery and exaggerated, sometimes pushing the boundaries of truth (exaggerated health claims, sometimes saying misleading things about the caffeine content of various types of teas), and, although not all locations were like this, in some stores the sales could be outright pushy or aggressive. To my knowledge, Adagio has never done anything like this.
I think Adagio is a good all-around company for people who like tea but aren't sure exactly what they're looking for, or want to be able to explore a lot of different types of tea from a single company. I love pure teas, and they have some interesting single-origin teas, but they have a lot of flavored teas and blends too.
There are also lots of other great companies out there too, including both ones based in the U.S., and ones based in areas of tea production that have reasonable international shipping (which seems to get a bit easier and cheaper with each passing year).
What a wonderfully insightful comment! You're spot on, my new friend. Adagio is very honest and straightforward about their tea products. I just love their online store format. You can see the teas, read about their origin and benefits, prices are reasonable, and Adagio always has a ton of rewards and extras! I find their shopping experience to be extraordinarily fun! Did you know you could even place a temporarily BAN to stop yourself from buying teas from them? I'm guilty – I order so many samples! Haha. In fact, I suspect Adagio will grow exponentially now that Teavana has closed. I looked into investing into their brand but it appears they are privately owned. Adagio is very affordable and has a terrific selection. I love it. I'll certainly follow the blog of a fellow tea lover. If you have recommendations, I LOVE trying new teas and would be so happy to hear them. Both for tea types and alternative sellers. I have a few other tea posts in the works at the moment!

Olivia Rodrigo's First Album a Major Success
By Kaitlyn Aasheim
In January of 2021, Olivia Rodrigo released her first hit single, "Drivers License," before quickly rising to fame. The song broke the record for most streams in a single day on Spotify. Roderigo followed this hit with more popular singles, including "Deja Vu" and "Good 4 U."
After quick success, Rodrigo released her first album, entitled "Sour," on May 21st. The album contains 11 songs, including her three singles. Rodrigo's hit song "Good 4 U" has already reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, followed by "Drivers License" and "Deja Vu."
Her music includes a mixture of pop and pop-rock. Rodrigo, influenced by Taylor Swift, created both upbeat and slow-tempo music in her album, from "Hope Ur Ok" to "1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back." Alongside her three singles, "Happier" and "Traitor" have also become fan favorites.
On social media, Rodrigo recently shared, "I love the songwriting and the lyricism and the melodies of folk music. I love the tonality of alt-rock. Obviously, I'm obsessed with pop and pop artists. So I'm going to try and take all of my sort of influences ... and make something that I like."
Considering Rodrigo is only 18 years old, many people were not expecting such maturity in her songs or in her voice. She usually writes about past breakups, conveying to the world what she has gone through and how she feels. Through her honest lyrics, she gives teenagers authentic music that they find relatable.
Rodrigo's music is impacting teenagers all over the world. Her first album has already broken records set by artists such as Ariana Grande. This album has ensured a bright future for Olivia Rodrigo, making her one of the most popular artists at this time.
Here you'll find what truly makes The Harbour Voice the voice of Oyster Bay High School: a variety of opinions on a number of issues.


Marlin Roush, Chris Walker, Brita Fordice, Tim Moon, Zack Dalton & Simon Gawesworth (R&D, product development, sales and marketing).
Mixed conditions, some sun, some rain, some cloud, some wind, some calm. The best day was 100% overcast with flat calm the whole day.

RIO Winter Redfish & prototype lines.
7ft 25lb Striper leaders & 9ft, 20lb Redfish leaders.
Sight fishing to moving, tailing and laid up Reds.
The RIO team headed to the gulf coast of Louisiana to test out a combination of new saltwater cores and line tapers and, of course, to try and catch the big bull redfish that come into those waters in late fall. A mixed bag of weather conditions proved to create very different fishing days. The first couple of days had winds between 5-15 mph and were dry and sunny. Day 3 started calm and sunny and then clouded over with high haze and a light breeze, and the 4th day had complete calm and cloud all day. The last day was blowing 20 mph, with thick cloud and rain, resulting in the fishing day being cancelled. Fish were spread out around the canals, ponds, flats, bays and islands that make up the Mississippi delta, and the crew fished between mostly East and South from Port Sulphur with local guides Capt. Rich, Capt Shane and Capt JP. On windy days, fishing the canals and finding a little shelter from high grasses and mangroves made it a little more possible to see cruising reds, while on calm days, the more open ponds and lagoons had a lot of large fish in. With wind and cloud, many shots were less than 10ft away from the boat, as fish were so hard to spot, but with stealthy poling, these shots were frequent. Most of the cruising reds were 2-3 feet down and it was imperative to fish heavy flies that got down fast to the depth of the fish. The big bulls refused to move up in the water column to eat, and many casts were frustratingly ignored because the fly rode 3-4" above the fish. When the depth was right, the fish were very happy to eat.
The product testing was extremely fruitful, with one of the new core/taper combinations proving a real winner for everyone, and a unanimous vote as to it being the best new combination on the trip, and something that will be put into production in the future. Everyone caught fish on the trip, and there were several large bulls landed. Officially a "bull" redfish is a fish over 20lbs, and each of the RIO crew landed at least one bull on the trip, with the last two fishable days (with the calm conditions) being the best, and proving there were plenty of large fish around – you just had to see them!
Many anglers put away their fly rods in late fall, but when you have a fishery like this in a US state that can fish so well in November and December, it is no surprise that this is getting to be a very popular destination and target species. If you are planning a trip there next year, take an 8wt and a 9wt rod, a bunch of large, heavy (and light) mullet patterns, some strong leaders and RIO's Winter redfish line. This line is designed to make the very short casts that cloudy days and wind conditions result in, and will throw the largest of mullet patterns with ease. There is NO better line for this fishery.

Man sentenced for having Molotov cocktail at Omaha protest
Texas chainsaw competition brings pros out of the woodwork
by: Curtis Jackson
About 30 wood carvers are warming their chainsaws and getting ready to hack away at some wood this weekend in Graham as the second annual Southern States Chainsaw Championship returns to raise funds for first responders.
Rob Banda has been behind the chainsaw carving up amazing pieces of art for about seven years now and said he really stumbled onto the woodworking scene.
"I got laid off and after that, I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I took kind of like a sabbatical, I took a few months off trying to figure it out, picked up a chainsaw and it was non stop from there I just kept going," Banda said.
This is his second year in the competition and since the wood that was supposed to be provided for carvers ended up not being delivered, organizers like Weldon Floyd changed it from a competition to a rendezvous.
"We got a hold of the carvers and told them we're gonna have to cancel because we can't get the wood. The carvers responded with give us a place to carve for three days and we'll bring our own wood, we just want to carve," Floyd said.
With the competition now out the window, Banda said it's given him the chance to slow down and learn more from other carvers.
"This is a good venue to do that, even if you're just starting to carve, you can come here and learn a lot from pro carvers on up to people who own their own business and other people that are just starting out," Banda said.
Speaking of just starting out, Banda has some wise words for newbies wanting to get behind a chainsaw and kick up some sawdust.
"You know just try to get better than the last one, that's all you do. You never stop learning, I mean I've been doing it for seven years and there's still stuff that I have to learn. You know I see it I just can't do it, so if there's a carver here that I visit with that he can do something that I can't do then I want to learn how to do that," Banda said.
Aside from learning some new tricks of the trade, Co-chairman Weldon Floyd said the event will also benefit first responders of Graham between raffle ticket and auction sales.
"All this, they're splitting their ticket sales with the first responders so our charity is going to get something out of everybody here," Floyd said.
Floyd hopes that this event creates a chain reaction and grows larger each year carving out a new tradition for Graham.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 25-year-old Iowa man has been sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for having a Molotov cocktail during racial injustice protests in downtown Omaha last year.
Steven Fitch, of Council Bluffs, was sentenced Wednesday in federal court for unlawful possession of destructive device.

We aim to understand the evolution of traits that drive community assembly in ant-centric symbiotic species networks. We accomplish this by (1) determining the chemical communication processes that mediate both antagonistic and cooperative symbiotic interactions, (2) identifying the evolutionary transitions of traits of interest within ant genera, and (3) determining the genetic underpinnings of adaptive traits.
In the Adams Lab, we strive to cultivate a research group built on mentorship, encouragement, tolerance and mutual respect. We encourage the participation of anyone with a commitment to scientific excellence from all dimensions of diversity. We recognize that diverse perspectives enhance scientific discovery, build richer relationships and ultimately benefit the world. We therefore welcome students, postdocs, and visiting scholars regardless of race, cultural background, age, gender identification, sexual orientation, or physical ability. Aligned with OSU's principles and diversity mission, we intend to help build a scientific community reflective of society's diversity.

There have been plenty of films revolving around young people navigating the sometimes difficult nature of love. However, not so if your lead is a young gay man. Thankfully, there's Love, Simon.
This is perhaps the first mainstream movie to have a gay character at the center of what is otherwise clichéd teen drama. From John Hughes to Greta Gerwig, many filmmakers have delved into the world of teenagers and have told every conceivable story about teen life. Some of them are autobiographical, while others are fantasies. Director Greg Berlanti and screenwriters Elizabeth Berger and Isaac Aptaker do not stray far from the familiar formula; the only difference is that we now have a gay character as our protagonist.
Simon's story is rather easy. He doesn't have to deal with intolerant parents, an oppressive community, overt religious judgment, or the fate of being ostracized. His fears are real, but it is clear he is in a safe space to navigate his sexuality and find his way of coming out. It is refreshing to see a film about a gay character where his story isn't incredibly dire, and though there is an element of the story where his coming-out is jeopardized by a contrived plot, all ends well for Simon.
Nick Robinson is lovely as our lead, and the supporting cast, which includes Katherine Langford and Alexandra Shipp, are equally lovely. Robinson leads a cast that could easily be found in a classic Hughes movie. Every character is idealized, but every actor brings humanity and realness to their role. Simon is rather ordinary, his awkward nature is endearing, but he is still just very ordinary. There is nothing about him that makes him appear overtly gay, and that's what makes Love, Simon very important. As Simon says in the film, he is just like you.
To normalize the LGBT+ community in mainstream media, we need to see them for who they are: average, everyday people. Not every gay individual fits into a stereotype. There is another gay character in the movie named Ethan (Clark Moore), who is used to illustrate this point. Ethan fits into a gay stereotype whereas Simon does not. Berlanti saw the need to firmly establish this point, and he executes it brilliantly. Throughout this whole film you are reminded that being gay is not weird, surprising, or shocking. Or at least it shouldn't be anymore.
Stories like this one are important to tell, and hopefully this leads to more teen dramas with non-traditional protagonists. The status quo needs to change. We deserve to see stories that are personal and real from all perspectives. Love, Simon may not be groundbreaking, but it is a necessary movie that all audiences will enjoy.
Love, Simon releases March 16th, 2018 from 20th Century Fox. The film has an MPAA rating of PG-13 for thematic elements, sexual references, language and teen partying. Its runtime is 1 hr. 49 min.

ArcelorMittal gets time to pay up dues
Supreme Court's judgement will be critical for Arcelor to continue as an eligible bidder for Essar Steel.ET Bureau | September 12, 2018, 20:52 IST
It needs to pay the amount to be eligible to bid for Essar Steel.
MUMBAI | KOLKATA: The Supreme Court will, on Wednesday, hear ArcelorMittal's application contesting an order passed by the appellate branch of the bankruptcy court, thus extending the deadline for payment of dues by the European steelmaker for KSS Petron and Uttam Galva Steels.
The deadline otherwise ended on Tuesday. Essar Steel lenders will accordingly wait for the top court's ruling on the eligibility of the bidders Numetal and Arcelor before taking a call on the bids. The bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud will hear the matter, news agencies reported.
KSS Petron and Uttam Galva are in bankruptcy resolution and owe Rs7,000 crore. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Friday said that Numetal's second bid was eligible while directing ArcelorMittal to clear dues of its other group companies by September 11 to become eligible.
The judgement will be critical for Arcelor to ascertain its eligibility as a bidder in the race for Essar Steel. ArcelorMittal on Monday revised its bid to Rs 42,000 crore while Numetal, backed by VTB Bank of Russia, has bid at Rs 37,000 crore.
Anil Agarwal's Vedanta has submitted a bid at Rs 34,000 crore. Lenders have initiated insolvency proceedings for recovery of `49,000 crore dues from Ruia's promoted Essar Steel. With a COC meeting scheduled on Wednesday, all eyes are now focused on the Supreme Court hearing.
ArcelorMittal, which improved its offer to Rs 42,000 crore, on Monday and committed to pay Rs 7,000 crore dues of the two companies, had filed the appeal later that evening seeking extension of time for payment of Rs 7,000 crore dues for KSS Petron and Uttam Galva Steels.
It needs to pay the amount to be eligible to bid for Essar Steel. An ArcelorMittal spokesperson said: "The revised offer includes a commitment to repay Uttam and KSS Petron debts in full. It, therefore, represents a compelling opportunity for Indian state banks to recoup the maximum amount of money possible."
Meanwhile, Alok Dhir of Dhir & Dhir Associates said: "Bankers would like to wait it out until the top court order. However, the law cannot be subject to conditions. In this case, ArcelorMittal says it will deposit the money only if it gets the scheme in its favour…Since they have put the money in an escrow account, all they needed to do was to transfer the money."

St. Peter's Cream Stout - St. Peter's Brewery Co Ltd - Beer of the Day.
St. Peter's Cream Stout isn't like the stouts you get from the left side of the pond. It pours dark, nearly black, with minimal cream head that doesn't stick around for the first sip. It smells like roasted malts, maybe a little brown sugar, but all very subtle. Where it differs from American stouts is in its super low carbonation that makes the mouthfeel quite light and very velvety. It's smooth as silk, creamy, and if you close your eyes and imagine a little, you'd nearly think you're drinking chocolate milk. It's pretty chocolatey on the nose, with dark molasses and roasted malt flavors bringing up the rear. A slight bitter finish comes in quite late. Better to drink this one quick, we enjoyed it better cold.

Canon releases four new Powershot models
Matt Golowczynski
Canon has launched four new compacts from its Powershot series u2013 including a replacement for their G7 model.
Canon has launched four new compacts from its Powershot series ? including a replacement for their G7 model.
The Powershot G9 picks up from where the G7 left off, with a host of improvements. Not only has the megapixel count been upped to 12.1, but a Raw shooting mode has now been included alongside the standard JPEG format. The LCD screen, meanwhile, has been increased in size to 3 inches, from 2.5, while Face Detection can now detect up to 35 faces per frame, as well as continuously tracking an individual face of the user?s choice.
The same DIGIC III processor remains, as does the 6x optical zoom range and Optical Image Stabilisation, while the hotshoe allows for compatibility with Canon?s Speedlite flashguns. In addition, optional wide- and tele-converters may be used on the lens to expand the 35-210mm focal range.
Two further models ? the A650 IS and A720 IS ? have also been announced. Replacing the Powershot A640 and PowerShot A710 IS respectively, both models feature a 6x optical zoom, Optical Image stabilisation, Face Detection and a DIGIC III processing engine.
The A650 IS is backed by a 12MP sensor and includes a 2.5in vari-angle LCD screen alongside its viewfinder. Further image stabilisation is offered by Auto ISO shift and High ISO Auto options while 21 scene modes compliment the full manual control offered by the camera. The A720 IS meanwhile, offers an 8MP sensor and 2.5in LCD screen and is compatible with Canon?s Close-up converter for detailed work.
A further model ? the well-specified SX100 IS ? has been announced as part of Canon?s new budget SX range. An 8MP sensor has been complimented with a 10x optical zoom lens and Optical Image Stabilisation, while the latest Face Detection Technology enhanced with the new Face Select and Track function also features. Straying slightly from the Powershot ethos, no viewfinder has been included but a 2.5in LCD screen displays images on the rear. In addition, the back of the unit has been redesigned for ease-of-use, with four buttons sitting under the LCD screen allowing for the quick selection of Menu, Face-detection, Printing and Display options.

Group fundraising has provided many opportunities & 'extras' for the choir students in the past. That is why we ask that all choir members participate in the group fundraisers. Members that do not participate will pay a fundraising due of approximately $30.00.
While group fundraisers benefit the choral department as a whole, individual fundraisers benefit the individual student & are also scheduled during the Fall & Winter. These opportunities allow choir members to earn monies towards personal choir costs including honor choirs, spirit gear, or the overnight trip.

John Suffolk blogging – does he need webby design help?
But am I being a bit of a webbie pedant when I see that he's using Comic Sans as his main content font? I mean, its not comic its criminal.
Come on John, smarten up a bit please if only to satisfy the eyes of web developers across Whitehall (if you need the number of one of them for a bit of design advice I'd be only too happy to help). But please, please keep up the blogging.
As the saying goes, Comic Sans is NOT a Font!
But great to see such a senior official blogging.
Couldn't agree more – its definitely a step in the right direction.
You were right, the font was a bit dodgy, but not as dodgy as the typepad editor.
Let me know what other changes I should be making.
Good sport John! I'm not a regular Typepad user myself, but am sure there is an easier way. Will throw out your request for suggestions to other government webbies.
There may be a comment posting problem on John Suffolk's blog.
There are no comments on the latest post, which is an interesting one. I thrice tried to post a comment but got a message that it couldnt be accepted.
If I'm blacklisted I'll stop trying. But it may just be a blanket problem.
I think just add the link to twitter.
Yes using word is easier John, for me just to make sure my spelling is ok :-)!

If you've decided to floor your home with wood but you are unsure of what wood to use, you've come to the right place! Each wood is special in its own way based on the grain, texture and colour. Below is a list of six common wood types used for flooring and their corresponding benefits and disadvantages.
As the name implies, cherry wood is known for its red and pink undertones. Colours of cherry wood are diverse, the wood's colour can range from blond-ish to dark red brown. Cherry wood is commonly used as flooring in people's homes because of its warm appearance.
As beautiful as cherry wood is, it is susceptible to discolouration from the sun. If you are thinking of using cherry wood, make sure to consider how much sun the room gets to avoid sun damage.
Floors made from pine have a distinct look because of the natural knots and grains. Pine has a light colour compared to other wood types, it can be white or yellow. Because of the abundance of pine trees in the world, pine is an affordable and eco-friendly option for flooring.
Pine is a soft wood which means that it can be damaged easily, dents and scratches are inevitable. More time and money will have to be spent on the maintenance of pine flooring. However, the wood develops character over time making it appear original and authentic which is a feature many people love about pine.
Unlike pine, maple is a harder wood making it durable and resistant to wear and tear. For this reason, maple is a good option for areas of your home that will be walked on and used daily, such as an entry foyer or kitchen. Also, if you have children or pets, hardwood flooring is best because of the high usage the floor will experience.
Maple has a light colour and uniform texture making it appealing to the masses. While this makes maple wood seem plain and boring, the grain pattern is what sets it apart from other wood types.
Oak is best known for its grainy and homey appearance. Scraping can occur on oak flooring if you are not careful, make sure to use padding on furniture to prevent damage.
There are two different options available for oak flooring: red oak and white oak. Red oak is a lot lighter than white oak and has a brown or reddish hue with swirling grain patterns. On the other hand, white oak is more yellow in colour with a tiger patterned grain.
The colour of walnut depends on if the wood was taken from the center or the exterior of the tree. If the wood is taken from the center, it is brownish in colour, but if the wood is taken from the exterior it will be more yellow. Because of this unique feature of walnut, some wood pieces can be both yellow and brown.
Walnut is prone to scuffs and scratches since it is a softer wood. However, it does not discolour in rooms with heavy sunlight year round.
The appearance of ash is distinct and chic making it a popular option for those wanting a stylish and trendy look to their homes. Ash is light in colour with a whitish or gray hue. While it looks great, the light colour makes dirt and other grime obvious which means frequent cleaning will be needed.
Another notable component of Ash wood is that it is hard enough to be highly durable but soft enough that it is not uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. In addition, ash is an affordable wood flooring choice while still being stylish.

Some procedures during birth and after I can honestly understand both sides of what is normally practiced by the medical as well as the midwifery model of care. GBS screening, vitamin K injections, and eye ointment are just a few topics that while I may have my own opinion, I at least can understand why some have the opposite opinion. Immediate cord clamping is not one of those subjects. I really, truly can't understand why it's done. Common sense dictates that naturally letting the cord stop pulsing so that the baby gets the correct amount of blood is best. Here is an article from an obstetrician explaining that the evidence shows a very small delay in cord clamping is beneficial, especially for preemies. I especially like the part where he admits that the reason doctors have been so resistant to the practice is because it was first practiced by midwives. That must have been very hard for him to admit, and it's the attitude we all need if we want to see the best births for every woman and every baby. This is one of the many procedures and issues parents need to become informed about before their baby's arrival. That's why I'm teaching natural childbirth classes in San Angelo!
