0:07Skip to 0 minutes and 7 secondsDo you have any experience or heard of any genetic test? If yes, what is it?
0:16Skip to 0 minutes and 16 secondsWe now can find genetic testing services in market through online order and register. People can get their whole genome information within a week. Just simply by mailing saliva samples for the services. However, once we get our own genetic information data, what should we react? Should we take any response to? If the genetic information indicated you will have a chance of getting a disease later on, will you take any preventive treatment? As your medical doctor suggest to you or just put on the side? Before we discuss about this issue, I would like to give you an introduction lecture for the biomarkers and general procedure of how researchers to identify biomarkers in the considerations of using biomarkers for clinical application.
1:15Skip to 1 minute and 15 secondsMy name is wei-chung "vivian" yang from Taipei Medical University. In the following lecture, we will learn the definition and classifications of biomarker and what would be the concerns for biomarkers in clinical applications from researchers, physicians, and patients point of view.
1:39Skip to 1 minute and 39 secondsGenetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. Molecular genetic test, or gene test, is to study single gene or short length of DNA to identify variations or mutations that may predict a disease condition or lead a theraputic treatment. For example, BRCA-1,2 gene mutations are associated with the risk of getting breast cancer. Chromosome genetic test are to analyze whole chromosomes, or long length of DNA to see if there are large genetic changes such as an extra copy of a chromosome that cause a genetic disorder. Biochemical genetic test is to study the amount or activity levels of proteins.
2:38Skip to 2 minutes and 38 secondsAbnormality can indicate a normal up or down regulated gene expressions that correlate with a disease condition. Why do we study biomarkers or biosignature? Because we might need a specific biomarker for targeted therapy. The biomarkers may indicate the disease progression and typical clinical condition. In addition, the biomarker may response to an ongoing mechanisms or metabolism that is linked with an abnormal condition. The challenges to identify a useable biomarker is to obtain sufficient clinical information linked with the potential biomarkers for validation and determination of the biomarkers used for. In addition, what messages of the biomarker delivers to and what clinical settings may respond to after the biomarkers is identified should be concerned.
3:42Skip to 3 minutes and 42 secondsFurthermore, is there a sensitive enough and stable technology to be used for detecting this biomarker is also an issue. May we just by drawing blood or providing urine or saliva body fluids? Or actually it requires biopsy samples for detecting the biomarker are all need to be concerned. How to identify a clinically useful and feasible biomarkers that could benefit to the patients and allowing medical doctor to take appropriate response to diagnosis and treatment should be always kept in mind by researchers for doing biomarker discovery research.
4:29Skip to 4 minutes and 29 secondsThe definition of biomarkers. Biomarker is a biological marker. It is a characteristic which can be measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal or pathogenic process or a pharmacological response to a therapeutic agent. From clinic endpoint, biomarker can be defined as a characteristic or variable that reflects how a patient feels, functions, or survives. For a surrogate end point of view, biomarker can substitute for clinic point. According to the types of biomarkers, they can be classified as DNA based markers. Such as detecting circulating DNA in bloodstream, measuring DNA copy number and DNA methylation, are all belong to DNA based markers. RNA based biomarkers Is to measure overexpressed or underexpressed RNA transcripts or detecting regulatory RNA such as microRNAs.
5:42Skip to 5 minutes and 42 secondsProtein markers Are mainly by recognizing specific cell surface receptors, tumor antigens, phosphorylation states, carbohydrate determinants, and peptide release from tumors in body fluid. From the clinical application end, biomarkers can be classified as routine biomarkers. Routine biomarkers have been developed as commercial kit or assay available in most of diagnostic labs and usually be approved by the regulation agent. Novel biomarker. Novel biomarkers are defined as non-routine used assays. Usually these biomarkers may be developed as by a research lab and labeled as laboratory developed test. It is generally not have entered standard clinical practice. Many of molecular genetic testing such as cancer associated genetic sequencing services are belonged to these type.
6:52Skip to 6 minutes and 52 secondsThe most attractive translational research for new biomarker discovery is for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. The modern cancer biomarkers are expected to be useful on predicting survival for selection of therapy, or selection of efficient therapeutic strategies. Such as surgery followed by chemotherapy or combined with radiotherapy with right dosage. Currently, more and more antibody drugs are developed. These antibody drugs are typically effective on a group of people who bears typically genes or bio signature. Therefore, there are several new cancer biomarkers are used to selection the patient for typical targeting therapy agent. This way may help to avoid patients who do not receive efficient treatment but severe side effect.
To understand what is translational research, we should think from three different aspects: researchers, physicians, and patients.
From the clinical endpoint, a biomarker can be defined as a characteristic or variable that reflects how a patient feels, functions, or survives. The challenges to identify a useful biomarker is to obtain sufficient clinical information that can link to patients' biomarkers through various validations and determinations.
In this video, Prof. Yang will demonstrate some application of biomarkers, and explain the basic knowledge behind it.

Q: Update variable and use it immediately React I am trying to update a variable after an api call but I will use a click event for this question.
As you can see, the variable that i print uses the old state on the first click as it doesn't register the change yet. On the following calls the variable gets printed with the new text.
Is there a way to use the updated variable immediately within the changeText function?
https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-36jqi3
export default function App() {
  const [text, setText] = useState('inital text');

  const changeText = () => {
    setText('new text');
    console.log(text);
  };

  return (

      <button onClick={changeText}>Update variable</button>

  );
}

A: No.
The changeText function that is currently running will have closed over the value of text from the value assigned during the render that created the changeText function.
The next render of the component will generate a new changeText function and assign it to onClick.
If you want to use the value you've just passed to setState then keep a copy of that value somewhere else.
const changeText = () => {
  const newValue = 'new text';
  setText(newValue);
  console.log(newValue);
};

Alternatively, do the work that needs the new value in an effect hook that triggers when that value changes.
useEffect(() => {
    console.log(text);
}, [text]);

const changeText = () => {
  setText('new text');
};

That will trigger the hook on the initial render too though so you might want to add an extra test to make sure it isn't the initial value before logging it.

A: Can get by way.
export default function App() {

  const [text, setText] = useState('inital text');

  const changeText = () => {
    /* Calling updater to get the latest value. */
    setText('new text');
    setText((state) => {
       console.log("immediately updated text -->", state);
       return state;
    });
  };

  return (

      <button onClick={changeText}>Update variable</button>

  );
}

Minimum wage increase falling short
NDP Leader Lorraine Michael (MHA, St. John's East-Quidi Vidi) says despite the recent increase, full-time minimum wage earners are still coming in below the poverty line. Newfoundland and Labrador's minimum wage was raised 25 cents to $11 on Oct. 1.
"We still have one of the lowest minimum wages in Canada," Michael said. "Indexing the minimum wage to inflation will not address poverty if the wage is too low to start with."
Michael says the previous government's failure to implement adequate increases after 2010 has left the province's minimum wage too low and that it's vital to increase the minimum wage before starting automatic indexing.
"We know that women, youth, and service sector employees are particularly hurt by the low minimum wage. Other Canadian jurisdictions are implementing a $15 minimum wage and we should be working towards that too," Michael said.
As a platform item since 2011, the NDP has proposed eliminating the small business tax to mitigate the potential impact on small local businesses.
Alberta recently raised its minimum wage to $13.60, with plans to increase to $15 in 2018. Similarly, Ontario's minimum wage is now $11.60 and the government has introduced legislation to raise it to $15 by 2019.
The NDP launched a petition this summer calling for a $15 minimum wage by 2021.

Young Local Black and Latino Men Come Together to Attend Leadership and Brotherhood Summit — Carvd N Stone Inc.
What does it mean to be a young man of color in one of the most segregated cities in Milwaukee? To most, it means being marked as a criminal for just existing. It means being harassed by the police for looking suspicious, even when you're just walking down a block. It means dealing with the media portraying a demonic image of you for all of the world to see. It means all of that plus more.
Being a young man of color isn't something that can be easily defined because not one experience can tell the stories of thousands of individuals. For the first time ever, Marquette University and Black and Latino Male Achievement (BLMA) teamed together to make inaugural Leadership and Brotherhood Summit for Young Men of Color a possibility.
BLMA is a department of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) that addresses the disparities facing young Black, Brown and Latino men of Milwaukee.
Director of BLMA, LaNelle Ramey said since their a part of MPS, they reached out to MPS schools their partnered with to invite their students to the summit. Majority of the students came from MPS, but there were a few from Carmen, West Allis and Wauwatosa West who attended the summit as well. A few of the schools saw what MPS and Marquette were putting together and asked to send a few of their students to attend, and they were welcomed with opened arms.
Marquette University hosted the event, which was held earlier this morning into early in the afternoon. The summit served as a place for the students to open up and share their experiences with one another, without judgement.
The images the media portrays of our young men of color has to change, and this summit is letting these students know that they can be more than what they see or hear from the world.
Teaching our young men their true powers and worth is stronger than any negative image the media spurs out.
Latrice Harris-Collins, Director of High School Recruitment, Office of Undergraduate Admissions for Marquette, said this summit is to show our young men of color that their are people like them that are leaders and have power.
"Giving these young men some substance," she said. "To show some love to our students," was one of the main goals of the summit.
Young men of color are forced to be on the defensive side most of their lives because of the many forces being thrown at them. Yet, their expected to take it all without any complaints, or they will face consequences.
This summit changes the narrative by showing and letting these young men know there are people right here in the city that cares about their well-being and future.
President of the Milwaukee Common Council Ashanti Hamilton—who just filed his papers to run as mayor—looked around the room in amazement at what he saw. As a Milwaukee Public School graduate, he knows the struggle of making it out.
These young men face hate, bigotry, racism, police brutality, etc. To too many on the outside, these are just a list of words, but to the individuals experiencing these issues, they are facing traumas they don't know how to address. By BLMA and Marquette teaming together, these young men are seeing first-hand what it looks like to be a person of color and be successful from people who come from the same neighborhoods they live in.
The day consisted of panels, discussions and just real connections between everyone involved in the summit.
Junior of Marquette, Richard Nwabuzor was a part of the student-panel, where each panelist discussed their experience at Marquette.
Nwabuzor said this summit is an opportunity to see the real college experience that college visits can't give. The summit puts the students directly in contact with current Marquette students, staff and alumni and other resources to show them that college is feasible.
"It's a way for us to learn all of these skills and bring it back to our communities," he said about attending college. "To uplift them." But, he did state that college isn't always the answer.

In a major setback, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) sitting parliamentarian from Chevella, Konda Vishweshwar Reddy has resigned from the party.
He was forced into a position of contemplating leaving the party despite the fact that today TRS enjoys significant goodwill in the "social circles that we are in," Reddy said in the letter, shared with the media.
I feel people who were fighting for Telangana and share a common ideology including me are no longer needed in the party," Reddy said. He said he feels that the best possible path for him is to resign from the party as he is unable to acquiesce with the current scenario. Reddy said he would also resign from the Lok Sabha. he is a first time MP.

Now reading: Pattern Play: Leopard
Pattern Play: Leopard
Worn by well-known figures like Eartha Kitt, Jackie Kennedy, and Beyoncé, leopard print has been present for decades in pop culture. While considered luxurious and sophisticated, feminine and fierce, or trashy and loud, the pattern prevails as an animal print staple and, unlike the animal itself, continues to stand out in the world.
Historically, the Leopard pattern has gone through highs and lows within the fashion industry, and according to Jo Weldon, writer of "Fierce: The History of Leopard Print," leopard motifs and imagery have been used to signify power, independence, and confidence for centuries.
When hunting leopards was legal during the 1920s and 30s, real leopard pelts were prized everywhere and worn by movie stars and flappers to signify their high class, wealth, and power. Then, in the 1940s, Christian Dior was credited as the first designer to use the print–rather than the fur–on the runway making the pattern hit the mainstream fashion scene by storm. Following the 1950s, leopard print started being produced in lingerie collections, causing the pattern to be connected to ideas of femininity and sexuality. This narrative was further pushed within pop culture when singer and actress Eartha Kitt was seen adorning the print head-to-toe in a dress and coat. By the 1960s, Jackie Kennedy was seen sporting a leopard-skin coat which unfortunately increased a demand for real leopard skin. This resulted in about 250,000 leopards being hunted and killed, leading the United States to ban the import and sale of real leopard skin in the 70s. This of course caused a rise in demand for the leopard print which led to its mass-production and over-consumption. Ultimately, with the overproduction of Leopard printed garments, it was eventually viewed as tacky.
By the 1990s however, the print was elevated once again by figures like Naomi Campbell, the Spice Girls, and Lil' Kim who were seen wearing the print at fashion shows, concerts and in music videos. In recent years, Leopard print has been present in both high fashion and fast fashion. Icons like Anna Wintour, Michelle Obama, and Beyoncé have been seen adorning the print to make a statement, while brands like Givenchy, Armani, and Balmain are continuing to uphold the pattern's luxury.
Our Leopard Print
While the beauty of the Leopard print is left open to interpretation, we cannot doubt its significance in evoking feelings of power, confidence, and ferocity in those who wear it. Unlike the real leopard who uses its pattern to blend in, our take on the Leopard print is sure to make some heads turn.

Determining materiality: a key for corporate sustainability
by Cecilia Dosal on July 30, 2013
Corporate Disclosure, ESG, Sustainability
The new G4 reporting guidelines published by the Global Reporting Initiative are centered on materiality. In order to add to the understanding of this concept, this post explains the importance of materiality and its value in sustainability reporting and strategy.
What is materiality and why is it important?
The concept of materiality has its origins in the auditing and accounting processes of financial reporting. In financial terms, a concept is considered material to the company if its omission or misstatement influences the economic decision of users. In recent years, the concept of materiality has been adopted in sustainability and is increasingly influencing the design of sustainable strategies and reports.
Compared to financial statements, sustainability considers a broader scope of action and covers a multitude of issues- environmental, social, economic and more. This context requires a more comprehensive definition for materiality. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) defines as material those issues with "a direct or indirect impact on an organization's ability to create, preserve or erode economic, environmental and social value for itself, its stakeholders and society at large".
In simple terms, materiality aims to identify the societal and environmental issues that present risks or opportunities to a company while taking into consideration the issues of most concern to external stakeholders. The process of labeling material topics in a company requires a comprehensive framework that methodologically identifies and prioritizes issues, risks and opportunities, commonly known as materiality analysis.
Source: PGS Advisors
When to perform a materiality analysis?
A materiality analysis is a tool that takes into consideration the company's financial concerns while foreseeing future risks and opportunities around ESG issues. A materiality analysis is especially useful for companies building a sustainability strategy, preparing a sustainability report or looking to explore new business opportunities.
As in traditional enterprise risk management, strategic planning for sustainability requires a deep understanding of the impacts of a company's operations and a comprehensive stakeholder map. Materiality analysis helps a company tailor its sustainability strategy and stakeholder engagement activities around the issues that are most pressing to their business and sector. It not only identifies issues with significant social or environmental impact for the company but also takes into account the understanding of stakeholders. When preparing reports, the availability of this information guarantees addressing the issues that represent a major concern to stakeholders and consolidates a company's accountability strategy.
In addition, materiality analysis can provide information to develop products and services with the greatest potential for sustainable business growth and can influence a company's decision-making process by weighing risks.
How to identify materiality
Generally, materiality varies considerably from company to company. Material topics can be similar within an industry or a sector, but they also respond to particular characteristics of a company such as size, location, time of establishment, level of stakeholder engagement, financial performance, etc. As a result, the practical application of materiality is constantly evolving. Recently, organizations like the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the GRI have developed tools to consolidate the process of identifying materiality.
The SASB is in the process of building materiality maps for each industry. It has determined materiality according to issues under five categories: Environmental Capital, Social Capital, Human Capital, Business Model & Innovation, and Leadership & Governance. Until now, materiality maps for the healthcare and financial sector have been published. Maps per industry will be available in the short to medium term.
At the same time, the GRI developed a materiality framework to guide sustainability reporting: the Reporting Guidance for Defining Content in the GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. Companies reporting under these guidelines are taking advantage of the materiality analysis beyond reporting and are using the process to target their sustainability efforts.
Common elements in materiality analysis include:
Identification of a universe of relevant economic, social, environmental, and governance issues for consideration;
Evaluation and ranking of the level of stakeholder concern regarding each issue;
Evaluation and ranking of the potential impact on the company of each issue;
Presentation of issues prioritization, typically in a matrix format that is subsequently used to inform strategy and reporting.
In addition, the process usually takes into consideration surveys involving consumers and sustainability experts, feedback from stakeholder meetings, engagement events, media scans, internal business impact surveys, corporate risk maps, etc.
Materiality analysis is about setting priorities right. By complementing financial and non-financial performance, materiality helps align a business strategy with a company's ESG risks and stakeholders' interests while achieving larger impacts in sustainability. It is quickly becoming the dominant concept in sustainability reporting and it is just a matter of time before companies realize the potential and benefits of a materiality analysis for their overall performance and sustainability in particular.

SL Benfica achieved a UEFA Europa League comeback win over Newcastle United despite Papiss Cisse opening the scoring.
SL Benfica weathered an early Newcastle United storm to come back at the rather aptly named Stadium of Light and win the first leg of their UEFA Europa League tie.
The Magpies made a flying start, and Papiss Demba Cisse tapped home Moussa Sissoko's low cross from close range after the Frenchman was set free down the right.
Despite the Portuguese side growing in confidence, Cisse almost doubled Newcastle's lead when his shot from inside the box was deflected onto the post.
Benfica soon equalised though, and Rodrigo fired home a rebound from Oscar Cardozo's shot to send the teams into the break level.
Cisse hit the woodwork for a second time just after half time. Sent clear by a Sylvain Marveaux through ball, the Senegal striker lobbed Benfica goalkeeper Artur Moraes impressively, but again hit the right hand post.
On another day, he could quite easily have had a hat-trick, and Newcastle United were to pay for it shortly afterwards.
Davide Santon was put under pressure at the left back position, and tried to pass back to goalkeeper Tim Krul.
Instead, substitute Lima stole in and rounded Krul to score, and it didn't take long for the third Benfica goal to come after sustained pressure.
When Steven Taylor handled in the box, Cardozo was on hand to score the penalty at both times of asking, with a retake required because of encroachment into the area.
The match finished 3-1, but a 2-0 victory for Newcastle United at St James' Park puts the Magpies through on away goals.
Watch video highlights of the match below.

The down jacket is fashionable, beautiful, comfortable. It's so much lighter coats, or coats, not shackles of motion and can be very stylish.
Only need to purchase a cute model and the right accessories. It largely depends on the perception of the overall image.
Here are ideas on how to choose a hat to the jacket in color and shape, what styles are combined, by which we can safely pass by.
Down jackets are simple, classic, sporty, oversize (oversize). They also differ in length. You can buy a short model, resembling a jacket, or select a full coat to the knees or ankles.
In any case, without a cap to the down jacket is not enough.
This is not the article of clothing that can be worn with an open mind. Don't go down shawls and scarves, caps, hats with a wide brim, which significantly narrows the choice.
Popular now a turban, too, with this kind of outerwear does not fit.
Versatile, comfortable and practical hat with a different fit. It can be worn with short and long jackets.
With care select the smooth and thin models, or the background of volume clothing will receive a disproportionately small head.
They were and are at the peak of popularity. Comfortable, warm, inexpensive accessory fits to the sporty and classical jacket.
Another wandering from season to season trend. Hat with POM-poms are perfect, especially the down jackets with fringes on the hoods and collars.
Well, if bubo will be combined with a fur trim, the hat for him to blend in is optional.
Earflaps can be combined with sports and classic outerwear type coat. Uniforms and high caps are only suitable for strict and laconic models. Perfect long fur (raccoon, Fox, Fox, Fox).
They can be worn with a strict and long down jackets, with the sports models don't mix. Fit knitted, felted fur beret.
Great importance when choosing a hat is the fit. So how down jackets are designed for the cold season, should choose a deep model that covers the ears.
It is worth to purchase along with a scarf, Snood, a good addition to the kit will mitts, mittens and gloves.
The color of the clothes can not only characterize the person but also affect his perception of others. The choice of color is not less attention than the model.
The onions should look harmonious and emphasize the dignity, to have its own flavor. Not all people are able to combine items of clothing, it is for them this cheat sheet.
It tells what color hat will fit down jacket red, green, gray, black and blue hue.
Grey base and matched with absolutely any shades of red, yellow, green, purple, blue and brown palette.
You can choose the bright cap to the gray jacket that will attract attention, enliven the bow.
Or choose something understated and practical. The accessory needs to accentuate the color of the eyes and face, revitalize and molodit. If it is picked up is not correct, it will make the skin gray, earthy, give a tired and sick look.
There are several shades, which grey down jacket «come alive»: turquoise, mint, rose, pistachio.
In this combination it is possible to see to infinity, it is pleasing to the eye.
In any case, do not use the jacket and cap of the same grey colour or slightly different shades. This bow will be boring, dull, will lead to winter Blues.
Green is peaceful, harmonious, is often used in outerwear.
In contrast to the gray hat green down jackets to choose much harder.
You can choose accessories in the same tone, but it is likely to be one green spot. Knight's move – the use of basic shades: white, gray black, but it looks boring. It would be wise to spend a little time and pick up an interesting addition.
Bold and young girls can get under the red jacket, orange hat.
Green color is different: salad, pistachio, light and dark, this may also include olive and mint palette, each also different saturation and temperature.
They all perfectly match each other, can be present in onions at the same time.
The blue color has a huge palette of different saturation of colors, but it can not be considered completely universal. He's strict, fits people of different appearance, goes well with the basic colors.
Blue down jacket looks advantageous and bright with a white cap, strict and reserved onion turns combined with grey and black accessories.
All kinds of blue colors in tune with each other. You can combine cold and warm colors down to blue, Aqua and green mint at the same time.
Black color, like gray, can be combined with the hats of any shade.
They all fit perfectly, but some can make the onion dark and his face pale. Do not buy a white hat, this accessory will make an image too strict. With caution choose dark brown, Burgundy, marsh accessories that can also change the appearance not for the better.
Black jacket could and should be combined with multi-colored caps. It can be a contrasting stripe detail and jacquard patterns, inserts of other materials.
The red color is bright and passionate, perfectly match the black and white hats. If you don't want to look primitive, you have to try.
In any case, do not select the bright scarlet of the jacket a rich fuchsia, lettuce and other neon shades.
Otherwise you can become a parrot (or a clown). The red color looks stylish and «expensive», combined with muted shades.
Remember that red often goes to the rose, raspberry, Burgundy, it can also be dirty and muted.
In the case of complex and deep shades of the down jacket, it is wiser to choose caps grey, brown palette.
Either stop the choice on the white color (it can be clean, dirty, milky, with a blue tint).

Why You Should Smile At Your Rapist
Daisy Cousens
Here's the uncomfortable truth…
Trigger warning: This story may contain content that could be triggering for some readers.
A good friend recently revealed an experience to me that was equal parts disturbing and appalling.
Late one evening, she touched down at the airport on a red eye. The place was almost deserted. After innocently collecting her bags and heading towards the line-up of cabs, she spotted a couple of young men approaching her. Encumbered by heavy luggage, she was unable to move quickly, making it all too easy for one of them to try to grab her arm.
"You've got fuckable legs," he said, leering.
Since my friend is one hell of an alpha female, she wasn't going to tolerate that crap, so she told them in no uncertain terms to go fuck themselves – but they didn't let up.
"They followed me, kept harassing me, and I continued a steady stream of retorts, trying not to seem afraid as they pursued me, but also reviewing my options for fighting back or getting away if it came to it," she explained.
"I feel dirty and terrified and sad, because these boys will go about their night and think of my fear and rage as light entertainment from a barely human piece of meat, while my heart is still racing and I am still crying."
And trust me, my friend is not the type to cry.
After hearing her story, I could feel the rage boiling inside me at those two cretins. They had blatantly and violently undermined her autonomy as a human being not just by harassing her but also refusing to stop when she fought back, laughing at her misery and defencelessness. And, most infuriating of all, they walked away from the situation having learnt absolutely nothing, ready to do the same thing to the next girl.
When I had cooled down hours later, I sent her a consolatory message, then sat and thought about what I would have done in her situation, and what I'd done in other situations like it.
In my late teens and early 20s, I would have reacted as she did, with bravado and insults in an attempt to retain any scrap of dignity. But over the years, having grown older and savvier, I have formulated a better line of defence. Most women do, after years of street harassment.
Here's the uncomfortable and rather degrading truth: it's easier to ward off a predator by smiling, laughing and seemingly buying into their taunts than reacting aggressively. If you make them believe they've won you over, they'll stop seeking the victory. It's simple, effective, and has saved me from many a sticky situation. And much as I would like to retort with a slew of clever insults, I've been intimidated into silence. As for my clever, inspiring, courageous friend, well, she's only 18 – she'll learn soon enough.
Many studies have been done on workplace sexual harassment, but very few on street harassment, and even fewer on how to combat it – probably because it's been accepted as the norm for tens of thousands of years. But it's an incredibly common issue and has more to do with power than lust. According to psychologist Jennifer Berdahl, harassment is motivated by the will to establish dominance over women who breach feminine ideals or invade perceived 'male space'.
"It's really a mechanism for making people who have crossed a line go back on the other side," Berdahl explains.
One of the few research ventures into the issue was conducted in 2014 by the nonprofit group Stop Street Harassment. After commissioning a 2000-person national survey in America, it revealed a whopping 65 per cent of women had experienced street harassment at some point. More specifically, 23 per cent had been sexually touched, 20 per cent had been followed, and nine per cent had been forced into performing a sexual act.
Regardless of street harassment's prolific nature, women are conditioned, often by other women, to tolerate it.
When I blossomed into womanhood sometime in my late teens, the threatening looks, comments and groping started. After asking older female friends for advice, I received comments like "Just ignore it", "That's just what guys do", "You should be flattered" and, my most loathed, "At least he didn't rape you".
At first I was upset and confused these women were telling me to sacrifice my self-worth for the price of being female. I rallied against it, calling out my harassers when they reared their ugly heads, until I came to a horrible epiphany: my older friends were right. I had much more success fending off potential rapists if I giggled and made polite conversation, rather than attacking their advances. After all, harassment is motivated by a quest for power, rather than desire. Therefore, seemingly relinquishing the power struggle is a (sadly) logical conclusion. It makes perfect sense, and that is an extraordinary shame.
So here's the burning question: do we allow predators to get away with sexual harassment for the sake of a quick escape, thus teaching them absolutely nothing? Or do we verbally fight back, letting them know their actions are unacceptable and unwelcome, until women can finally walk the streets without fear? Well, that's a matter of individual choice, and here's mine: I will continue to giggle and placate and to tolerate the intolerable, because the wholly miserable bottom line is that we can't teach men who harass women anything – they don't respect us enough to listen.

A (Very) Forgotten Christmas – It's Your Move "The Christmas Show"
December 24, 2015 ~ Allison L. Venezio-Preston
I searched high. I searched low.
I searched the forgotten realms of Christmas nostalgia, and I think I found something truly worthy of an Allison's Written Words recap.
You know what? The crying thing is getting old. It's ok, really!
In the days before Jason Bateman was a teen idol, and later an actor who hit a resurgence as an adult, he was a child actor in search of something that would launch him into "teen idol" status.
The show this happened on wouldn't come until 1986…so let's go back a few years.
It was in 1984 that a fifteen-year-old Bateman, cemented in the role of bratty child extraordinaire (if you've seen Derek on Silver Spoons, you'll understand where I'm going with this) starred in a rather forgettable sitcom called It's Your Move.
It's one of your typical sitcoms featuring a smartass child, except he's met his match in his neighbor/mom's love interest, who proves to be both equally adept at scheming and gaining the upper hand. It has the distinction of being short-lived. That's right, it only lasted eighteen episodes.
I'm also sure that having a theme song that reminds everyone of CBS Storybreak and a title that sounds more like a game show didn't exactly help.
Further, it also has the distinction of being a show forced into retooling after the main character is caught in his worst scheme ever, which obviously showed that someone had the bright idea to ensure Jason Bateman shouldn't be typecast. Once the show was retooled, it lost its luster (which was questionable at the time) and the whole concept became your typical sitcom, except it really wasn't funny anymore. If it wasn't endearing the viewers prior to the retooling, it was unwatchable afterwards. I watched the entire series (not that it took me long) late last year, and I can tell you that bigger things were coming for Bateman, and playing the perfect bratty child wasn't one of those things.
Besides, who doesn't love the neurotic, rational, Nervous Nellie-type he plays now?
And despite being such a short-lived sitcom, It's Your Move had a Christmas episode that thankfully happened before The Retooling, which meant we got to see the sitcom for how it was originally concepted (and our two adversaries at their best), and not some conventional Christmas episode of some conventional sitcom.
So without further ado, let's see what Cute Brat Jason Bateman schemes up at Christmas!
It's Christmastime in Van Nuys, California, and Matt and Julie Burton are concocting their Christmas present for relatives and other people they deem worthy of their wonderful gift. What is it exactly? Well, it's anything they want it to be…according to the fake labels they typed up.
Meanwhile, across the hall neighbor/mom's love interest Norman Lamb arrives with a jug of his family's eggnog recipe…which he pours on nice and thick.
No seriously, it's nice and thick.
Norman goes on to insult the Burton family Christmas tree, which is silver, and well, untraditional. Matt points out that the tree is not only beautiful, but functional. In fact, if one hooks it up to the television, channel six in San Diego comes through clearly.
See? Functional!
Norman tells of Christmas in Chicago and the time-honored tradition of trekking through snow to get the perfect Christmas tree, and wants to know where the decorations are…just as the landlord, Lou Donatelli, shows up. Matt informs him that a "jolly fat man" has arrived, if that makes Norman happy.
Matt uses Donatelli's head head to seal Christmas card envelopes (see? functional!), and after the threat of eviction, Lou gets his Christmas present from Matt…the highly-coveted after-dinner liquor he loves so much…that he just can't seem to get anywhere but from Matt.
Oh Matt, don't go changing. Ever.
Well, you will change your ways, but not right now.
Julie informs Matt that the bathtub enamel is becoming a victim to the concoction of sorts. Norman tells the kids that he will be a little late for a date with their mom so he can finish his shopping. Julie informs Norman about what their mother really wants for Christmas (a watch), and since she is feeling so empowered, Julie informs Norman that there is a shirt she has on hold in the Young Attitudes Department at Bullock's, and anyone can pick it up. The whole idea of this gets Norman all riled up, but it's the fireplace artwork Eileen Burton (their mom) brings home that really drives him out of his gourd.
Mom tells the kids that she is going to make her traditional Christmas guacamole, and for Matt to hook up the Christmas tree to watch a good movie on the San Diego channel.
Again, functional!
Norman leaves the apartment, and is greeted by Matt's friend Eli, who is passing out his gifts early, as he is going to visit his grandmother, who lives "over the river and through the woods"…in a combination retirement community/minimum security prison. He gives Norman a Christmas ham, because if you love someone, say it with pork products.
Sounds about right.
Norman invites Eli in, and Eli dispenses with a problem he has…he forgets his mother and father's Christmas presents. Norman's solution? Make your own! Eli feels that may make him look cheap. Norman resolves to Eli that the gifts will be more special to his parents, because he made them. And it's at this exact moment that he decides instead of Christmas shopping, he will make a gift for Eileen. He then offers Eli his eggnog, to which sweet, lovable Eli replies "I thought you liked me."
I'm assuming this eggnog passes for a running joke on this show?
It's now Christmas Eve, and Matt is curious as to Norman's idea of making Matt's mother a Christmas gift.
Norman's gift turns out to be a poem. And it turns out to be a flop. It's not that Eileen doesn't like the idea of a poem. She just…doesn't like the idea of what Norman thinks of as a traditional Christmas, which for the Burtons, means opening presents on Christmas Eve and bowling on Christmas Day. Norman exits in a huff about the lack of tradition, following an argument with Eileen.
Oh, and it turns out Norman is known to the local carolers as "The Eggnog Man," which scares them to no end.
Seriously, their interpretation of a running joke. Eggnog.
Back in his apartment, Norman putters around, sprays some fake snow on everything that doesn't move (including a window he winds up breaking), sings Christmas songs badly, sprays fake snow on himself, and believes that "this" is Christmas.
But he's not happy. Well, maybe turning off the home lights and flashing the Christmas tree lights by flicking the switch is fun for him, but he begins to realize how much tradition apparently stinks for him. But not before playing with his Nativity set pieces. Because why not do what every eight-year-old did with theirs?
For the record, Baby Jesus' arm broke in storage, not because I played with him. Scotch tape works wonders.
Matt and Julie ponder the unhappiness Norman placed on their mother, as they prepare their bowling balls. Matt resolves to make his mother happy again.
And how does he do that, you say?
Matthew goes over to Norman's apartment to inform him of his mother being miserable and sticking it to family tradition that had been around long before he came into their lives. So Norman, flustered over this confrontation, runs down the list of ways Matt has made his life miserable – forwarding Norman's mail to Iceland, having him reported as an illegal alien, an ad in the paper that says "Kittens Wanted," and then accuses Matt of being the last person to give a lesson on how to behave. And you know Matt is just loving the recounting of schemes we never saw (but may have made this show even better!). One must admit, the kid is brilliant.
Then The Retooling happened.
Here nor there.
Matt informs Norman that he forgot the one tradition of Christmas that is important, not to ruin the happiness of others. Norman knows he was wrong, but he can't figure out why Matt is trying so hard to make his mom happy.
Matt's solution? The gift that his mom actually wants. The cost? Eternal gratitude. Because when Norman offers to write Matt a check, Matt informs him he couldn't accept it…and neither would anyone in town.
The gift, you ask?
A "thank you" note for helping Norman realize his wrong ways…much to the delight of Matt, who witnesses the whole thing with Julie.
OMG, this kid. But he's so cute.
But, Eileen forgives Norman, and all is right with the world. Which means Matt has to put up with Norman for a little longer (a little longer being a few more episodes).
But if Norman didn't give in to Matt's scheme, he wouldn't have left his apartment…and he would have been $5000 richer.
Random radio contests.
Oh well. Maybe next…oh, wait.
"The Christmas Show" aired on December 19, 1984, as the show's 11th episode. It was one of the last episodes before the show's premise was redone, and Matt Burton became your average sitcom kid, with less brattiness. Unfortunately, the retooling did nothing for the show's ratings (it competed with Dynasty, and seriously, who competes with Aaron Spelling and lives to tell the tale?), and the show was cancelled in February 1985.
But don't weep for Jason Bateman, he will firmly secure his spot in teen idol fandom a little over a year later, on a show I would be old enough to find him on…and discover my life-long crush.
Pathetic, I know. But love!
But for one very brief half-television season in 1984-1985, he was playing a bratty teenager trying (and failing) to make mincemeat out of his neighbor/mother's lover. And for an even more brief moment, he was a bratty teenager who tried (and failed) to make mincemeat of his neighbor/mother's lover at Christmastime.
They don't make television like they used to.
They don't make sitcoms like this either. Seriously, who gets away with this crap? And by crap, I mean the crap that gets put on television.
And there you have it, forgotten Christmas sitcom glory.

Why thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!


High school student Ahn Dae Yong suddenly develops the ability tell when someone is about to commit murder and when someone is going to be a victim. Those about to commit murder appear to have blue eyes while those who are about to become victims appear to have red eyes. Ahn Dae Yong becomes a hero when he decides to use his new power to help people.
Based on the popular Naver webcomic 'Aftermath' by Kim Sun Kwon.
It had suspense to it, and it was very attracting and realistic, people wise I mean, like the development of a character and the psychological part, especially for the lead actor, not the red eyes and blue eyes part, it got the same feeling I got after finishing flower boy series.
I don't usually put high re-watch value.
When I first saw an article about "Aftermath" on allkpop, my immediate reaction was that I wanted to watch it. The idea intrested me, and I'll admit I have a bit of a Dongjun bias. I felt a little disappointed when I couldn't find it subbed anywhere, but it gradually slipped my mind. A few days ago I checked on dramafever and saw that they had the whole series, so I just marathoned it all in one go.
Story: The thing about "Aftermath" is that the premise sets up the drama like it's entirely about Dae Young's ability, when in reality that part only makes up about 50% of the actual drama. The show deals more with the aftermath *pun intended* of his ability's uses, and how it affects everyone around him. "Aftermath" also spends a fairly large chunk of its time on it's love story; which is cute and all but not exactly what I was expecting. I still adored this webdrama, though. It had an interesting blend of suspense and high-school life that felt a bit choppy, but worked overall.
Acting: Dongjun is one of the better idol actors, and I'm glad he got this opportunity to develop his acting skills. I think he has a lot of potential. Here, he was pretty good- not amazing, but better than expected. Kim Min Suk has always been adorable, Joo Ah Seon was nice and I can see her going places, and Kim Geun Hyung was brilliant. Seriously, he stole the show. I'm keeping my eyes out for him in the future.
Music: A lot of random Ze:A because, why not? Not that I'm complaining, of course. Other than that, there's a few ballads chucked in there because that's a drama staple.
Rewatch Value: Since this whole thing took a little more than two hours to watch, I'd say there's a decent chance at that.
Overall: Great story, good actors and really creative directing, "Aftermath" really took me by surprise. I really wasn't sure what I was expecting when I started, but I'm glad I did. 9/10.

The slanted pockets add a modern, geometric edge with the slim silhouette keeping this look most definitely feminine.
Also available in Green, Navy & Plum.

Approx. product length from nape to hem: 105.5cm/ 41.5"


The highly anticipated Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e are already up for pre-order, and although it's obviously far too early to get actual discounts on the outright prices of Samsung's newest flagship phones, you can save quite a bit of money on your T-Mobile plan, score a free Visa prepaid card from Xfinity Mobile, or a complimentary Sam's Club gift card with qualifying purchases and device activations.
Sam's Club's deal might be the most straightforward of these introductory offers, merely requiring you buy a Galaxy S10, S10+, or S10e on a Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint installment agreement or signing a two-year contract with US Cellular. Trade-ins and port-ins are not obligatory, and you don't need to jump through any hoops or wait for weeks on end to receive your free coupon.
You'll actually get that as soon as you activate your hot new Galaxy handset, although you naturally can't use your savings towards the initial purchase. Or to pay for your Sam's Club membership fee. Other restrictions "may apply", despite not being listed in the official terms and conditions, where it's clearly stipulated that you can combine this promotion with Samsung's Galaxy Buds freebie.
Unfortunately, the Galaxy S10e is still not eligible for that sweet gift, also netting you a modest $100 Sam's Club e-voucher. That's better than nothing, but the "regular" Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+ are sold alongside $200 gift cards and gratis Galaxy Buds, which are separately worth an additional $130 or so. Don't forget to claim your wireless Buds by April 4 using the Shop Samsung app and keep in mind you may have to wait up to 8 weeks for your purchase to be verified and your freebie to be delivered.
first of all samsung sent me a reservation to order the phone which i signed up for... then when i went to order the phone.. samsung said it was out of stock.... So then what was the F'ing reservation for? Im really irritated and turned off !

Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell Suspended For Three Games
Posted on April 9, 2015 at 8:39 am

Pitt RB LeVeon Bell suspended 3 games, fined additional game check for violating substance abuse policy, per league sources. He is appealing
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 9, 2015
Bell's suspension is a result of him being arrested and subsequently charged with a DUI and possession of marijuana following a traffic stop last August. Bell and former Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount were traveling together at the time. Blount, who is now with the New England Patriots, was recently suspended for one-game for his role in the incident as he was only charged with possession of marijuana. He has since performed 50 hours of community service.
Bell's suspension, which was only expected to be two games, is slated to begin as soon as the 2015 regular season starts.
If forced to speculate, I'm willing to bet that Bell will eventually has his suspension reduced by one game during the appeal process.
The Steelers signed veteran free agent running back DeAngelo Williams several weeks ago and he is expected to be the starter during Bell's absence. The team might also address the position at some point during the upcoming draft in addition already having running backs Dri Archer and Josh Harris on their current offseason roster.
Bell was the league's second leading rusher last season in addition to setting a new franchise record for total yards from scrimmage. The Michigan State product and former second-round draft pick rushed for 1361 yards and eight touchdowns and caught another 83 passes for 854 yards and three scores.

To put a different spin on a popular saying, "Tell me what your dressing room's like and I'll tell you who you are!" Here at Schmidt, we have taken this saying to heart. We will not ask you to choose from a collection of units, but instead we will design a dressing room to suit your very own lifestyle needs.
Made to measure. Personalised. Ideal. Take a closer look at the four dressing rooms that have been created to match four different customer profiles.
Dress codes: design the dressing room to complement your lifestyle.
Not only does it avoid creases, but you can see and find everything in an instant.
All the little "extras" that do it all and make everyday life so sweet.
This rail will be your everyday best friend by offering maximum storage for your clothes. Say goodbye to the stepladder for reaching the highest clothes: the clothes rail glides down with just a fingertip to present your autumn and winter collection. There is something so pleasurable about how the bar swings down and up so easily and effortlessly. Adding an upper clothes rail is the best way to double your wardrobe space.
Say goodbye to creases and trousers sliding onto the floor: the bars slide out almost on their own, before opening up to take your trousers and then sliding back with disconcerting ease - Schmidt quality and mechanisms if you please. Better still, they come with fronts in the same design as the rest of the dressing room for a seamless finish and stylish overall effect.
Add several made-to-measure wardrobes to your dressing room, with full-length wardrobes for coats and evening dresses, short wardrobes for skirts and shorts, and mid-height wardrobes for blouses. At last, your wardrobes can adapt to your needs rather than the other way around.
Ideal for keeping your favourite shoes within sight and easy reach. Simple, cost-effective, perfectly made-to-measure and a guaranteed winner.
These shelves are a match made in heaven for your finest high-heeled shoes. They are capable of holding several pairs of shoes in the smallest of spaces, meaning that they are fabulous for presenting your full collection with their attractively angled design.
For all your fragile, luxury and favourite shoes. Treat them to pull-out drawers made to just the right height with millimetre precision. Much safer and more practical than boxes.
No idea where to store them? Do they end up taking up space and gathering dust?
Handbags and hats are tidied away on shelves that are just the right height (i.e. your height), just the right width and just the right depth. Shelves are also the ideal solution for pullovers. Large shelves or compartments are perfect for organising and easily taking out your favourite pullovers.
This affordable luxury drawer is sheer heaven. You can see all your jewellery at a glance!
Say goodbye to tangled necklaces. Stop the light from tarnishing your treasured rings. There is even room for your scarves, instead of seeing them balled up on the floor. A small, yet essential pleasure.
Socks and ties are sensibly tidied away in a low profile drawer, which is extremely handy for choosing the right colour with a single glance.
Just like sleek handles, these pretty chromed hooks will give your dressing room that distinctive personal feel as well as a touch of designer flair. These simple and practical hooks are ideal for hanging your bags or getting your outfit ready for the next day.
Sliding shelves: the lip at the back prevents clothing from falling off, while the front edge features the same colour as the unit and gives the soft-closing shelf a smooth and easy grip. The shelf appears with just the touch of a finger, making it so practical for folding and tidying away your clothes, before disappearing with a simple push. This perfectly matching solution is a must-have with its made-to-measure design.
There is never a beautiful mirror where you really need it... except in your Schmidt dressing room. This full-height mirror lets you check your outfit from top to toe while making the room look larger with its natural reflection. Do not worry if you forget this essential accessory when planning your dressing room - your designer will remind you.
Trying to focus the light on exactly what you need, whenever you need it, without waking up your partner is more than a challenge, because dressing rooms are often next to the bedroom. This is a job for Schmidt and its lighting experts. The result is a targeted glare-free lighting system that will bring out your clothing's colours without disturbing your other half's beauty sleep while you are choosing THE outfit that will turn heads tomorrow. It that was not enough, the money-saving low-energy lights are ideally arranged to produce the best lighting effect.
The key to a happy household is giving everyone their own space! A bespoke dressing room for him and her: that is the secret with these designs, where everyone will find happiness as well as all their possessions.
The traditional chest of drawers has been replaced with large pull-out drawers topped with an illuminated clothes rail! You will now be able to recognise the various shades of grey of your suits or leave your partner to sleep in peace thanks to the adjustable light.
Part of the dressing room is organised around a dressing table, so you can check that your make-up is always perfect. The design is tailored to suit your specific tastes, so there is no cause for jealousy! They even have their own cosy armchair.
Her pumps will no longer get mixed up with his vintage trainers. Now both of you have your own secret garden (your half is a mirror reflection of your partner's side). You will simply love it.
The advantage of a truly made-to-measure dressing room is that there is something to suit every taste... and every size. Low drawers for children (yes, they are capable of tidying away their own pyjamas), drop-down clothes rails for parents, and a design engineered to overcome the home's most demanding constraints, whether sloping ceilings, corner doors or different depths. Didn't think you had space for a family dressing room? Think again, think Schmidt.
Everyone uses sliding doors, but what about sliding doors that have been created with millimetre precision to fit in a child's attic bedroom and produced in exactly the right colour, whether matching, contrasting or with a material effect? Well, you're in safe hands with Schmidt.
The shallow clothes rails on the left and right offer just the right space for hanging children's clothes, while the pull-out drawers in the middle are perfect for keeping winter boots nice and tidy. Ask your designer to calculate just how many square metres you are actually going to save... the figures speak for themselves.
A real dressing room in your city apartment? You didn't think it was possible, but times have changed... and so have our dressing rooms. Schmidt offers interior solutions in customisable widths, heights and depths to the nearest millimetre and up to one metre in depth.
You can design a smart dressing room for any part of the home, whether the entrance, passageway or landing... the ideal way of showcasing and spotlighting your new trainers and always keeping them within easy reach - a must-have for stylish urbanites and design-lovers.
