California Supreme Court Narrows Anti-SLAPP Exemption
Posted in Anti-SLAPP Statutes
The California Supreme Court in mid-December ruled that a statutory exception to the state's landmark anti-SLAPP statute should be narrowly construed, reversing a lower court ruling to the contrary.
California's anti-SLAPP (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) statute, which was the first of its kind when it was passed in 1992, allows defendants to make a special motion to strike any claim against them arising out of their "right of petition or free speech" unless the plaintiff can show a probability of success on the claim. In essence, the statute prevents plaintiffs from using litigation to chill the speech of those who seek to participate in debate on issues of public importance. By giving defendants an avenue to throw out such a suit early in the process -- before motions and discovery consume substantial time and money -- the statute keeps plaintiffs from using the threat of litigation to quiet debate. California's statute also gives prevailing defendants the opportunity to recover their attorneys' fees.
At issue in the recent case taken upon by California's Supreme Court was Section 425.17 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, which provides an exception to the state's anti-SLAPP law for "any action brought solely in the public interest or on behalf of the general public."
The underlying dispute arose out of the Sierra Club's 2004 elections for five board of directors positions. In the weeks just prior to the election, the then-current board sent out notices to club members warning them that if they did not take part in the elections, a small minority faction influenced by "outside groups" could win the spots and eventually control the board. One of the candidates opposing the current board filed suit, seeking injunctive relief including removal of the newly elected board members. The Sierra Club sought to have parts of the suit dismissed under the anti-SLAPP statute, which the trial court granted. On appeal, the Court of Appeals held that the public interest exception applied here because the "principal thrust or gravamen" of the plaintiffs' complaint was to advance the public interest.
The Supreme Court disagreed, holding that given the clear statutory language, the public interest exception could only apply when the sole motivation for the suit was the public interest. If the plaintiff stands to receive any relief in addition to that received by the public in general, the exception cannot apply. This narrow interpretation of the Section 425.17 exception is a significant victory for those seeking to preserve the vitality of public debate in California.
In an upcoming post, we will look more in-depth at anti-SLAPP statutes around the country and what they mean for journalists and news organizations.

Q: Is it possible to call :make in vim in linux without showing the shell I've been trying to experiment with using :make recently but I don't like that vim has to switch to showing the shell output first and require one enter keypress, then it shows me what I think is a list of the collected errors based on 'errorformat' which I also need to confirm by pressing enter. I would prefer to just have a short "OK" message that does not require confirmation by a keypress, or that vim would open the :cwindow if there were any errors.

A: You can map for example F9 to use gcc for small C snippets that don't require libraries, linking, etc:
map <F9> :!gcc -o %< % <enter><CR><C-w>

This will produce for the file foo.c the binary foo. I know that's not exactly what you want, but this doesn't show any shell and is useful for small c snippet.

A: I'm using next line just for exact purpose you wrote:
nnoremap <leader>m :silent make\|redraw!\|cc<CR>

cc in the end shows first error or No errors message if this is the case.

A: Try:
:silent make

To automatically open the quickfix window after you run make, you can put this into your .vimrc:
autocmd QuickFixCmdPost * :copen

The Effect of a Growth-Promoting Drug, Clenbuterol, on Fiber Frequency and Area in Hindlimb Muscles from Young Male-Rats
C A Maltin, Margaret Inkster Delday, P J Reeds
The Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health
The effect of dietary administration of clenbuterol on soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles was studied after 4 and 21 days. Both muscles showed an increase in wet weight with no significant change in total fibre number. After 4 days fibre cross-sectional areas were increased in soleus, but not in extensor digitorum longus, and after 21 days there was a change in fibre frequencies in extensor digitorum longus but not soleus muscles.

Part II: Why Is The Slow Pour Important?
You've heard the fuss over pour-over, but still aren't sure what makes this coffee ritual so special. We last chatted about why the slow pour is important and how the time/surface area balance affects your brew. Now you understand why a slow pour matters from a brewing perspective. But why is it important from a drinking perspective? What makes the end result so different from other brew methods – what's the point?
Every brew method coaxes out different flavor profiles.
Let's use your automatic drip coffee at work as an example of when a brew process negatively affects flavor. Often times, automatic coffee machines brew under the optimal 195-205 water temperature. Plus, their water distribution isn't consistent – leading to an uneven extraction. On top of this, they also don't pre wet their paper filters, leading to a papery taste in your coffee. We could go on for days discussing automatic machines, but the point is these features dictate the taste of your coffee at work. Low water temperature, uneven water distribution and not pre wetting the filter will lead to a skunky, stale, cardboard tasting cup.
So just like aspects of an automatic coffee machine can result in negative flavors, other brew techniques can pull out very specific, and very wonderful, flavors.
The various aspects of pour-over create a unique cup of coffee. The purpose of pour-over is to continuously replenish the water around your coffee grounds. This way new, fresh water is constantly coming in contact with your coffee.
For reference, the image above is SCAA's (Specialty Coffee Association of America) coffee taster's flavor wheel. It's meant to help you identify the flavors you taste in your coffee.
A cup of pour-over coffee provides many layers of flavors, you'll often hear folks call a good cup of pour-over fruity, clean tasting and well rounded. Let's break those down a bit.
Little to no mouth feels (few coffee particles in your cup).
Free of oils (if you use paper).
No extremes in flavors (everything is consistent). It's not too ripe, not too bitter – all of the flavor notes are in balance.
This flavor profile seems pretty spectacular when you think about how low tech the brewing equipment is compared to an espresso machine or drip coffee machine.
So there you have it, the point of pour-over is to pull out unique flavors and mouth feels from your coffee. You're continuously replenishing beans through a slow pour technique to coax out this spectrum of flavors you might not taste with other brew methods.

I have had more awesomely bad customer service, and more pretty damned good service too. Again, the bad service was from Vodafone, and the good service from a company that I don't even pay.
As I mentioned in an earlier installment, I was unhappy with Vodafone and decided to fire them. I eventually went back to O2, because even though they weren't great (their data network is slooooow almost everywhere) they do at least offer service throughout London. And so I needed to get a PAC code from Vodafone so that I could port my number back to O2.
Both O2 and T-mobile were able to give me a PAC code immediately when I was bouncing around between telcos earlier. Vodafone at first appeared to be able to do that, with the nice gentleman in their call centre reading it out to me there and then. Unfortunately, after he'd told me "VCN50753" the call dropped just before he told me the last digit. (Hmm, the call dropped. Think that might be why I'm changing telcos?) I called back, only to be lied to and told that it was completely impossible for any of their staff to tell me a PAC code and that I would get it by SMS within four days. Naturally, I didn't. Over the next 11 days I called them four times, each time being given new excuses and being told it would take another two days - two "business days", of course, because apparently their computers get the weekend off work and don't generate codes then. Finally, a "manager" (yeah right, it was just some other call centre grunt) did it yet again, this time "following the correct procedures". Of course, the SMS I was promised never arrived and when I called them for the last time, someone just read the damned thing out to me over the phone. It was VCN507532. So, for thirteen days they had the code and just wouldn't give it to me.
Last time, I said that fixing the customer's problem isn't the most important thing in customer service, keeping the customer informed is. Well, if there's anything worse than bad communication it's wrong communication. I was lied to for two weeks. I don't particularly care that for those two weeks I had to have two phone contracts, but I care an awful lot about being lied to.
I was a Vodafone customer for a long time a few years ago, before my flirtations with T-mobile for a coupla years (because their data plans were a lot cheaper) and with O2 (because iPhones were originally tied to them), but the old Vodafone, four years and more ago, treated me well. On the rare occasions I had to talk to them they just got shit done and I didn't have to call them twice on the same subject. They had a damned good network too, with good coverage everywhere. I doubt I'll ever go back to Vodafone again. They've let their technology go to shit and what used to be a good voice network is now a piss-poor data network and a piss-poor voice network, with woeful coverage even in the centre of London. But continually lieing to their customer is the ultimate sin.
And the good service that I mentioned right at the beginning? Because of a stupid bug in the iPhone software - it doesn't come with a to-do list application - I use a third-party application called Toodledo. My list is also available to me on my desktop via their website. And I found a bug in the webby version. I reported it, and cynically expected to maybe get a terse acknowledgement a week or two later and then nothing more. What I got in reality was, at the very beginning of the next "business day", both an acknowledgement that yes, there was a bug, but also a brief but helpful note with a work-around. Again, good customer service, from a small company, who I'm not a paying customer of, simply comes down to quick, clear and true communication.

Reishi (also known as "Ling Zhi" in China) has been known to the Asian world for over 2,000 years. Its miraculous health enhancing applications have been employed by Oriental cultures for centuries, but have only been introduced to the Western world in the last 30 years. Reishi is the legendary wizard of all superior medicinal herbs because of its apparent medical efficacy and the absence of unfavorable side-effects and toxins resulting from consumption. Because of its rarity in nature, reishi was reserved primarily for Asian royalty and wealthy individuals until the late 20th century, when cultivation of red reishi mushrooms by the Japanese made the once rare fungi plant more widely available to the general populace around the world. Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma and other respiratory complaints. It has a healing effect on the lungs. Reishi is good for respiratory strength and for coughing. At least one population study confirms this claim. As for reishi's effect on the lungs, in one study of over 2,000 patients with chronic bronchitis, reishi brought about marked improvement in 60-90% of the patients and reported an improved appetite, according to "Medicinal mushrooms," by Christopher Hobbs, published in Herbs for Health, Jan/Feb 97.. The older patients, especially, seemed to benefit the most (Chang & But, 1986). Bronchial asthma has also been reported to respond well to treatment with G. lucidum, as do several other allergic diseases. Although the antiallergic compounds in G. lucidum are not yet clearly understood, scientists have shown that G. lucidum inhibits the release of histamine, a compound that causes blood vessels to dilate and is responsible for swelling, inflammation, and other allergic reactions. Reishi for Healthy Cholesterol .We have all heard the news reports on the new cholesterol drugs, but the real news is the amazing mushroom called the Red Reishi. Doctors have found that using just 1,600 mg per day of a guaranteed potency extract can dramatically improve liver health and lower the LDL (bad) cholesterol by 30-40%. This daily immune tonic that helps the liver is just as effective as cholesterol drugs, minus the negative side effects to the liver. It is important to find a Reishi supplement that lists the potency as 10% polysaccharide/beta glucan, along with 4-6% on the triterpenes (our's is >30% polysaccharides and 4% triterpenes). Reishi may be just as effective as synthetic drugs in reducing LDL ("bad") cholesterol, especially since it doesn't have synthetics' deleterious effects on the liver. But it does need to be taken for about four months before its effects will be noticed. Although it takes 3-4 months for the full effect to be seen in the cholesterol numbers, all of the side effects are good: less colds, less flus, better circulation and improved liver function. Of special note are reishi's action on the heart. In patients with coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia, reishi has been studied for its ability to alleviate symptoms such as palpitations, dyspnea (sudden difficulty in breathing), pre-cordial pain, and edema, and it seems to lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure. G. lucidum has also been used to treat heart arrhythmias.
Lingzhi retains and regulates water in the skin and helps maintain the skin's elasticity, keeping the skin hydrated and smooth. It also helps to inhibit the formation and deposit of melanin in skin. Today, Lingzhi beauty care products are becoming new stars in the cosmetic industry. By adding Lingzhi into the bath, not only can skin be kept smooth but it can also help prevent bacterial infections.
Reishi mushroom also has non-material benefits. Reishi is said to elevate the spirit; it's a mood-elevating substance. Traditionally, reishi is believed to help transform the individual into a more spiritual being. Just as mushrooms transform decayed material on the ground into life-giving nourishment, reishi converts metabolic and psychic waste (hostility and other negative feelings), thereby raising the spirit and unshackling the mind. Individuals can consume reishi every day to support immune function, peace of mind, and physical vigor.
For four millenia, the Chinese and Japanese have used reishi mushroom as a medicine for liver disorders, hypertension, and arthritis. Through in vitro and human studies, today's researchers have found that reishi has anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties. In vitro experiments also indicate that reishi may help fight cancer tumors. In addition, a protein isolated from reishi - Ling Zhi-8 - may reduce the risk of transplant rejection.
What are all the benefits of Ling Zhi/Reishi?

We're often asked "how long should you wait between applying different products in your skin care routine?'' We have one simple answer, you do not have to wait! Ultimately, it is more about how the products feel and your preference than about how the products absorb or set.
Can the skin process so many products at once?
The reason you do not have to wait between applying two products, is that the skin can easily process different effective ingredients at the same time. One product will never 'stop' the other product or negatively affect its purpose. Because every ingredient has a unique influence, it would be a shame to not give your skin everything it needs to look and feel younger, smoother and more hydrated.
When choosing how to apply products, some people prefer to wait between applications. Others prefer to put the different products in layers one behind the other. Most products can even be hand-mixed and then applied at once. All these methods are fine. The most important thing is that you do not have to wait in all cases which saves time!
What about AHA and BHA exfoliants?
It is also worth noting that applying skincare products with different PH levels does not reduce the products effectiveness. You can apply a moisturiser or serum immediately after an AHA or BHA exfoliant, which when well formulated, will have the low PH it needs to exfoliate skin effectively.
If you find that the combination of products you use, when applied one right after the other, tends to roll or ball up, it may be better to let the first product dry before you continue with the rest of your routine.
Using a product with SPF is always the last part of your skincare routine. In this case, it is wise to wait for it to set before applying your make-up. It is a bonus if you apply a moisturiser, foundation and sunscreen (all with at least SPF 30) in layers. This provides extra protection against harmful UV rays.
If you use a product containing benzoyl peroxide, it is best to wait until this product has been fully absorbed before applying a serum and/or moisturiser. Benzoyl peroxide works best when it has the chance to absorb into the skin first. This only takes a few seconds.
The fact that you do not have to wait between applying the different products in your routine saves time. In addition, it gives you the chance to experiment with adding our boosters and serums to your routine. This takes little time or effort, but can make a big difference to your skin.

Q: Custom Header and Footer using Oracle SQL I have a requirement to add a custom header row and a custom footer row to the output of an SQL query. So the result will be like :

n rows > columns names and corresponding data from main query . Contains large number of columns
last row > Footer row made of subquery or constants or possibly count of records from main query. It contains a few columns
Is there an easy way to do this ? or do I have to resort to writing a procedure for the required spec. I check REPHEADER and REPFOOTER keywords, but I dont see them being very helpful in this case.

Today, the Southern Border Communities Coalition held a telephonic press conference to discuss how border enforcement affects millions of people in their communities along the southern border. Just one day before the House Committee on Homeland Security holds a hearing on border security, border residents shared how the extraordinary powers granted to immigration enforcement officers impact their daily lives. Below are some of their comments.
Listen to the complete telephonic press conference here.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is not only the largest law enforcement agency in the country, but it is the only agency that enjoys extraordinary powers under our laws. Decades ago, Congress gave what is now Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents operating in the border region extraordinary authority. They can board and search modes of public transportation like buses, planes, trains and automobiles. They have full authority to do so without the need to have any reasonable suspicion. The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution is supposed to protect us from unreasonable searches and seizures. A police officer, or even an FBI agent, need either a warrant, or at a minimum, reasonable suspicion to stop us, interrogate us, detain us, and to search our belongings and our person. Other federal agencies including the FBI, DEA, Secret Service, U.S. marshals and ATF are governed by language in our statutes that require them to have, at a minimum, reasonable grounds in order to engage in that type of activity.
DHS is the only agency that does not require any reasonable suspicion in order for their agents to stop, detain, and interrogate people inside this country. So that extraordinary power, coupled with the extraordinary resources it has, the fact that it is the largest law enforcement agency in the country, and has no commensurate oversight, is causing us great concern. It is one of the responsibilities of the Homeland Security Committee and Congress to exercise oversight given the size of this agency and the extraordinary powers it has.
There are many parts of the most recent 21st-century initiative of policing that could be applicable to the Border Patrol. It's all about building community trust, it's all about transparency. It's all about that ground-level relationship building that has to occur. The toughest thing about the most recent initiatives that have come from D.C. is that we have worked so hard for the last five years at trying to bridge the gap between the mandates of the state immigration law (SB 1070) and the fact that we have to continually build support. Without the community believing in the Police Department we cannot get our jobs done. It's been very very trying, and very, very difficult. We have done a tremendous job with it, but certainly these last two weeks have been challenging for us as we try to quell concerns about immigration and any kind of federalized task force or anything of that nature.
We have a wall. One of my ranches is 400 or 500 hundred yards from the border and it looks at a 20 – 25 foot tall wall, concrete based. Of course, where I live the Santa Cruz River flows from the South in Mexico to the North into the U.S. Where the river is, there are these Normandy types of barriers that get washed up every 3 to 5 years. Recently, as Homeland Security has pushed forward with a greater militarization of the border, they took the highest place on my ranch and gave me $500. They have already put up an initial tower and they'll put subsequent towers up there. This obviously has a huge impact on the rest of my property. I happen to own a small cell phone tower business located further North. In that location, where I am using traditional cell phone type of equipment, I surrounded it by a 50 acre barrier parcel. In the case of the Federal government taking from me, there is no barrier and the Federal government uses much higher levels of radiation, and much more complex systems that can actually be quite dangerous to human health. Not to mention that they now have equipment that will look through the walls of people's homes. Essentially, by taking a quarter acre of my property, they've made the rest of the property usable only by cows. Cows don't care if you look at them. So they are happy. But anybody building a house within 3 or 4 miles of my property will have to be aware that the federal government can look through it.
Investment in border enforcement including the border wall is a major disservice to border communities who have been organizing for decades to get adequate drainage, paved roads, street lighting, public parks, health clinics and support for public school.
Government has not invested in low-income rural communities to the extent is should in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, which happens to be one of the poorest regions, and prompted the governor of Texas to call it a third world like area.The funds used in border enforcement are better used to revitalize border communities by investing in education, health, and public infrastructure and in this way helping fight poverty that plagues the border regions.
The Border Wall will not stop immigration, if the root causes that generate migration are not dealt with immigration will continue. Further border enforcement will guarantee more hardship for migrants who cannot afford to come into the country any other way than risking their lives through the brush, border enforcement will reap bodies in the brush and deserts of the borderlands, it is what many term death by policy.
Rarely do we talk about workers' rights in the border and how they are affected by border enforcement. The immense presence of Border Patrol agents and ICE encourages unscrupulous employers to use them as a weapon of fear making it easier for these employers to exploit and abuse workers. Too often we hear complaints from workers where the employer threatens them with Border Patrol if they do not do as they are told or work for the sub-minimum wages, in many instances less than $4 an hour. Labor laws are violated flagrantly every day in the Rio Grande Valley and other parts of the border. We need commonsense immigration reform that prioritizes human rights and workers right in this country not further investment in border enforcement.
Within the 100-mile border zone, border patrol checkpoints operate on strategic roadways that lead into the interior of the United States. I call these Border Patrol checkpoints "interior border checkpoints" because I like to focus on the idea that they are within the United States. So my experiences occur with Border Patrol 60, 70, 80 miles within the United States. My current research shows that within these Border Patrol checkpoints marginalized identity categories/signifiers like race, language, and national origin are actually deemed suspicious.
In regards to my experiences as a United States citizen; I have lived the entirety of my life in a small colonia in southern New Mexico – well within the 100-mile border zone. This meant as an undergraduate that I would have to commute through a checkpoint to attend college, or if i wanted to go to the doctor, or go shopping for groceries. As a young, Mexican-American male, I embody multiple "suspect" factors that are deemed "suspicious" within BP checkpoints. In reality, in De facto, I do not have the ability to ever be "law abiding" or "non-suspicious" in the eyes of law enforcement in the U.S. context. My mere existence as a specifically-marked body justifies any encounter with armed federal agents. I'd like to emphasize this is not to blame the individual agent per se, but to thoughtfully interrogate and dismantle the policies that continue to allow discriminatory policing within border communities and and to an extent nationwide.

Scoring an action scene… never an easy task. With all the cuts, sound design and chaos, the temptation is to lay beds, drones; tread water – but the best action cues never do. They have shape and throughline; they tell a story. In this class we'll look at techniques for attacking these sequences; determining the tempo, managing the cuts. We'll explore some approaches to incorporating thematic and motivic material, and how to avoid getting buried in the mix – essential tools for the modern film composer!


We are proud to introduce the first 2017 release of Saad Ayub on Abora Recordings, this is "Shinrinyoku".
Canadian Bangladeshi upcoming talent Saad Ayub teams up with the talented cellist ArDao from Berklee College of Music to provide an emotional and riveting track.
Starting off with a powerful introduction that combines basslines and pluck melodies perfectly, the track then leads into its pinnacle with the blend of lush pads and elegant cello melodies that enhance the atmosphere of the track.
The creative climax then displays the real talent of both artists with a perfect mixture of cello and uplifting trance!
Saad Ayub starts off this year with a storm and this is only a taste of what's coming.

Huron Hospice expansion amidst loosening of visitor restrictions
CTV News London Videographer
Dignitaries usually cut ribbons but at the recent launch of Huron Hospice's expansion fundraising goal, MPP Lisa Thompson cut a 2x4 piece of wood with a circular saw instead.
"We are halfway towards a major milestone," said Huron Hospice Board Chair, Jay McFarlan. "We have a capital grant for $680,000 ready and waiting for us when we raise a matching $680,000 and we are about halfway towards our $680,000."
The Huron Hospice Residence is expanding from four to six beds, along with many other improvements. They need to raise $1.6 million dollars to do so. The province is kicking in about half of the total, leaving the community to cover the rest.
"Everyone knows when it comes to efficiencies and you marry that with the quality of life, it's one of the best investments we can make," said Huron-Bruce M.P.P., Lisa Thompson.
The Huron Hospice Residence near Clinton opened in 2018. They've operated end-of-life care for Huron-Bruce residents at almost full capacity everyday since, except during COVID.
"During COVID we've seen more people wanting to stay at home as long as they possibly can because of visitor restrictions. So, we have been seeing a decrease in occupancy during COVID. But now that we're easing out of the pandemic, we can gather in groups again and visitor restrictions are loosened, so we are seeing a return of that high occupancy rate we saw before COVID," said McFarlan.
Since 2018, the provincial government has spent $40 million to add 200 new hospice beds in Ontario.
"We can do hospice palliative care at the residence for one third of the cost of what is costs in an acute hospital bed. So by the province supporting the operations of providing care at hospice, it's already saving money and helping to end hallway medicine," said McFarlan.
The Huron Hospice board hopes to have the money raised as soon as possible so they can trigger the province's matching funds and start construction on the expansion early next year.

Starting atop a tower, your only option is to fall to the ground below. Immediately, you're up against steps you can't climb, and since there's no jump, you just have to walk around to see where things go. You quickly come across a hole in the ground, taking you to a small room that contains the jump ability. During your travel, you pass different types of boxes: stony grey ones and jagged white ones that float in thick groups that you cannot pass through. Behind some stone blocks lies an Orb, just out of reach.
Quickly, you begin to explore the rest of the space open to you: a large, somewhat empty room. As you leave the cliff of the starting area, you're presented with a powerup directly in front of you, but you're suddenly stopped by an invisible barrier. Climbing the only other objects in the area, several pillars, reveals two paths: one you can continue on and one that has a lip slightly too high for you to jump on.
The views are simply to die for here.
These moments within the first few minutes of the game prepare you for what's to come. You're instantly keen on remembering your failures, so when you encounter a problem that hinders your progress, its location sticks with you. This is the basic loop of the Metroidvania genre: find the problem, search in other directions, come across the new ability that can solve the problem, return, and progress.
boxlife hones in on this loop and trims off all the fat. It's purely mechanical and does so much with so little. By weaving the elements of the game together so tightly, every moments facilitates the general "Metroidvania" feeling. Two notions, organic exploration and diegetically learning how to use new abilities, play out as straight as possible. Each new powerup immediately brings forth that "where can I use this," thought, the driver of enthusiasm for any game in the genre. By having everything so cleanly presented, the elegance is that you can easily remember all the blockades you encounter, sprinting back to them as soon as you find the key to their solution.
Along with its presentation, boxlife constantly provides you with a new ability in a way that forces you to utilize it and learn firsthand what it does before turning you back on the rest of the room. For instance, dropping down a small well of stones, you're given an ability that allows you to fire red balls that dissipate the blocks. From your escape, you instantly understand how this thing works and where.
What's a metroidvania without some sort of projectile?
All this is to get at what can be done with fundamentally elegant design, and that undervaluing simplicity is a pitfall many developers fall into, especially in the amateur circuit of microindies. A clear-cut mapping-out of your systems, how they intermingle and coexist, and how they play against the overall arc and pace of your game, is all the analysis really necessary to identify any excess in the game loop. Reducing the piece down from here results in something cleaner and purer. Superfluous lore or expensive graphics don't make a game what it is at heart: an interactive experience, embodied in the impact of the player's moment-to-moment interactions with the world. Don't mistake simplicity for shallowness.

Sixty is the new forty, right? People are living longer and are more active in retirement, but that doesn't mean that down the road you won't need your home to be more accessible. Installing handrails and making sure your hallways and doorways are wide enough may be a good reason to look for a home that was built to accommodate these needs.

A Comics Great Tackles the Irish Immigrant Experience
Jai Sen
The saint that started it all:
St. Patrick.
Ah, St. Patrick's Day. I know what you're thinking. Another column evoking all the dusty symbols of this commercialized holiday. But, as we're confronted with leprechauns, green Google Doodles and ersatz Irish pubs pouring gallons of green beer, it's a chance to think about the real Ireland and its millions of stories. I've got a very special one for you to consider this time.
But it's March 17th. Let's start with the historical St. Patrick and how this day came to be associated with Ireland. The worthy saint's history is a patchwork of myth and murky history from the 5th century, but he's the undisputed patron saint of Ireland. Patron saint and green beer notwithstanding, it's often said that to experience Irish culture in any form is to fall in love with it. Like most, my main experience with everything Irish was confined to television, films, and the peculiar, projected version of Ireland that people in this country experience—mixed with muddled images of poorly explained Irish politics (called euphemistically "the troubles") that made so many headlines in the '80s and '90s.
Story continues below.
The Great Famine of 1845-1852 caused a great wave of immigration and decimated the population of Ireland.
(Click to enlarge.)
My first trip to Dublin and Belfast was eye opening (as have been all the subsequent journeys there). It brought the fragmentary images of Ireland that I'd seen prior into focus, clarified them. Some things I saw in the true Ireland were more or less accurate (fewer shamrocks, more harps), others unexpected. I find stereotypes of all sorts fascinating, and the Irish are certainly stereotyped in all sorts of ways. What little Americans known about Ireland is trapped, in some ways, in ideas about the "old country" that immigrants of a hundred years ago brought over with them. For me, experiencing modern Ireland was a bit like meeting a good friend's sibling: a resemblance there, but really, a whole different being. Not unexpectedly, I did fall completely in love with Ireland and I suspect it will be a lifelong passion.
The full history of the island of Éire and of the Irish people is fascinating. The region had a thriving Neolithic and Iron Age culture, settled by Celts coming from the European mainland. Some variation of this Celtic/Gaelic culture persisted until the early 17th century, surviving two waves of invasions (the Normans in the late 12th century and the Vikings in the 9th century). By 1607, the island was fully under English control, ending the predominance of the old Gaelic social order and starting a long history of tension between English and Irish cultures and sovereignty.
Fast-forwarding to the last few centuries, one of the most important (and poignant) events is the Great Famine that struck Ireland in the late 19th century. During this tragic period, almost a million people died and there was a massive wave of Irish emigration out of Ireland, a drop in population of 20-25%.
The cover of Gone to Amerikay (click to enlarge).
It's this period that forms the start of a graphic novel about the experience of Irish immigrants coming to New York City. The book, Gone to Amerikay, was written by Derek McCulloch and illustrated by Colleen Doran; it was published in 2012. It's also colored by the incomparable José Villarrubia. I've admired Doran for a long time. I proposed her as an ideal choice for an imagined graphic novel adaptation of a Gore Vidal book in this very column a few years ago, and wrote about her groundbreaking work in A Distant Soil, an epic story she started producing when she was just 12 years old.
Doran is also famous for her collaboration with Neil Gaiman on Sandman (another topic I've covered in this column), for which she illustrated parts of "Dream Country" and "A Game of You." One of Gaiman's most beloved characters, an ancient witch named Thessaly, is based on Doran and her personality. This is just one testament to what an interesting figure Doran is in the comics scene. She's notable for being one of the best known women artist-creators working in comics; she often comments on how women are treated in the comics field and in fandom. The collaboration in Gone to Amerikay, though, shows depth and texture to her artistry in a whole new way.
The character Ciara O'Dwyer.
The book is woven through with a mystery that spans the different generations of Irish immigrants. The three parts of the story take place in 1870, 1960 and 2010, revolving around characters that are related by the events in each time period. The part of the story in the 19th century concerns a poor woman in New York's Five Points slum; the 1960 portion is set in the growing counterculture of Greenwich Village. It features a supernatural element, a deus ex machina, that helps connect the three time periods. (I've attempted this same structure in one of my books, and I can attest to how satisfying and fun it is two write, though naturally I must give Doran and McCulloch credit for executing it better.)
This is not traditional comics fare to be sure, and Doran has a following both in indie and mainstream comics eagerly watching her work. "I think this'll get a lot of people who don't normally read comics," Doran has said about Gone to Amerikay. "We just get in there and do the best job we can and hope people appreciate it for what it is." I'd say that's a fair assessment. I'm always sensitive to such statements, because they can be interpreted as further condemning comics as being non-literary. But while the story of Gone to Amerikay is challenging to the reader, it isn't taxing to read nor would it be alienating to those unfamiliar with the illustrated medium. McCulloch echoes Doran's sentiments: "I don't really think about audience ahead of time very much, probably not as much as I should," he said. "I write the things I want to write, and I hope that if I can sell it to a publisher, I hope that means they think they can sell it to someone else."
An image from the second of the story's three time periods, Greenwich Village of the 1960s.
Another thing the story does extraordinarily well is to convey the mesmerizing quality of Irish folk music, often upbeat in sound and tempo but filled with tales of desperate longing or tragic events. I abhor sound effects in my own work, so I appreciated the challenge of rendering music in a soundless medium. Doran shows the reactions of listeners and musicians to help identify when music is happening, a clever and seamless device.
I highly recommend picking up this book if you're interested in any of its themes: it's about Ireland, yes, but there is a way in which it addresses the immigrant experience that's completely original and very compelling.

The American Convention on Human Rights, known as the Pact of San José, is an international human rights instrument. It was adopted by countries in the Western Hemisphere in San José, Costa Rica. It came into force after the instrument of ratification was deposited on 18 July 1978. This provision is established under influence of the Article 20 of the International Covenant of Civil, the single article in Chapter III deals with economic and cultural rights. The somewhat cursory treatment given to this issue here was expanded ten years with the Protocol of San Salvador. Chapter IV describes those circumstances in certain rights can be temporarily suspended, such as during states of emergency. However, it does not authorize any suspension of Article 3, Article 4, Article 5, Article 6, Article 9, Article 12, Article 17, Article 18, Article 19, Article 20, or Article 23. C. United States, and the Inter-American Court, headquartered in San José, Chapter X deals with mechanisms for ratifying the Convention, amending it or placing reservations in it, or denouncing it.
Various transitory provisions are set forth in Chapter XI, in the ensuing years, the states parties to the American Convention have supplemented its provisions with two additional protocols. The protocols provisions cover such areas as the right to work, the right to health, the right to food, and it came into effect on 16 November 1999 and has been ratified by 16 nations. The second, the Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights to Abolish the Death Penalty, was adopted at Asunción, Paraguay, to date it has been ratified by 13 nations. Venezuela denounced the Convention on 10 September 2012 accusing the Inter-American Court, necessary reforms of the institution were blocked. Therefore, it would increase its cooperation with the United Nations Human Rights Council. Denunciations, according to Article 78 of the ACHR, become one year after having been declared. They do not release the party from its obligations resulting from acts that have occurred before the effective date of denunciation.
Freedom of speech is the concept of the inherent human right to voice ones opinion publicly without fear of censorship or punishment. Speech is not limited to public speaking and is taken to include other forms of expression. The right is preserved in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is granted recognition by the laws of most nations. Nonetheless the degree to which the right is upheld in practice varies greatly from one nation to another, in many nations, particularly those with relatively authoritarian forms of government, overt government censorship is enforced. Technically, as a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly rather than a treaty, whilst some of its provisions are considered to form part of customary international law, there is dispute as to which. Freedom of speech is granted unambiguous protection in law by the International Covenant on Civil. The majority of African constitutions provide legal protection for freedom of speech, these rights are exercised inconsistently in practice.
The replacement of authoritarian regimes in Kenya and Ghana has substantially improved the situation in those countries, on the other hand, Eritrea allows no independent media and uses draft evasion as a pretext to crack down on any dissent, spoken or otherwise. One of the poorest and smallest nations in Africa, Eritrea is now the largest prison for journalists, since 2001, Sudan and Equatorial Guinea have repressive laws and practices. In addition, many radio stations are under tight control and programs. Also countries like Somalia and Egypt provide legal protection for freedom of speech, see also, Censorship in Algeria, Censorship in Tunisia. Freedom of speech and expression are protected and limited by a section in the South African Bill of Rights, chapter 2 of the Constitution. Section 16 makes the following provisions, §16 Freedom of expression 16, Blasphemy against religion is illegal in Sudan under Blasphemy laws. Despite the Tunisian revolution that led the Arab Spring, freedom of speech is still a controversial issue, artists and citizens still face many kinds of harassment when they try to express their ideas freely.
The onset of the Information Age is associated with the Digital Revolution, just as the Industrial Revolution marked the onset of the Industrial Age. The Information Age formed by capitalizing on computer microminiaturization advances, library expansion was calculated in 1945 by Fremont Rider to double in capacity every 16 years, if sufficient space were made available. He advocated replacing bulky, decaying printed works with miniaturized microform analog photographs and he did not foresee the digital technology that would follow decades to replace analog microform with digital imaging and transmission media. Automated, potentially lossless digital technologies allowed vast increases in the rapidity of information growth, moores law, which was formulated around 1965, calculated that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. Connectivity between computers within companies led to the ability of workers at different levels to access greater amounts of information.
The worlds technological capacity to store information grew from 2.6 exabytes in 1986 to 15.8 in 1993, over 54.5 in 2000 and it is estimated that the worlds capacity to store information has reached 5 zettabytes in 2014. This is the equivalent of 4,500 stacks of printed books from the earth to the sun. In the 1990s, the spread of the Internet caused a sudden leap in access to, technology was developing so quickly that a computer costing $3000 in 1997 would cost $2000 two years and $1000 the following year. In terms of capacity, there are two measures of importance, the number of operations a system can perform and the amount of information that can be stored, the number of synaptic operations per second in a human brain has been estimated to lie between 10^15 and 10^17. While this number is impressive, even in 2007 humanitys general-purpose computers were capable of performing well over 10^18 instructions per second, estimates suggest that the storage capacity of an individual human brain is about 10^12 bytes.
The news media or news industry are those elements of the mass media that focus on delivering news to the general public or a target public. These include print media, broadcast news, and more recently the Internet, a medium is a carrier of something. Common things carried by media include information, art, or physical objects, a medium may provide transmission or storage of information or both. The industries which produce news and entertainment content for the media are often called the media. In the late 20th century it became commonplace for this usage to be construed as singular rather than as the traditional plural, broadcasting is the distribution of audio and video signals to a number of recipients that belong to a large group. This group may be the public in general, or a large audience within the public. Thus, an Internet channel may distribute text or music worldwide, the sequencing of content in a broadcast is called a schedule. Television and radio programs are distributed through radio broadcasting or cable, by coding signals and having decoding equipment in homes, the latter enables subscription-based channels and pay-per-view services.
A broadcasting organization may broadcast several programs at the time, through several channels, for example BBC One. On the other hand, two or more organizations may share a channel and each use it during a part of the day. Digital radio and digital television may transmit multiplexed programming, with several channels compressed into one ensemble, when broadcasting is done via the Internet the term webcasting is often used. Broadcasting forms a large segment of the mass media. Broadcasting to a narrow range of audience is called narrowcasting. In a broadcast system, journalists or reporters are involved editing the video material that has been shot alongside their research. Broadcast journalists often make an appearance in the story at the beginning or end of the video clip. In television or broadcast journalism, news analysts examine, anchors present this as news, either videotaped or live, through transmissions from on-the-scene reporters. News films can vary in length, there are some which may be as long as ten minutes, others that need to fit in all the relevant information and material in two or three minutes.
Aristotle described two types of political revolution, Complete change from one constitution to another Modification of an existing constitution. Revolutions have occurred through history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration. Their results include major changes in culture and socio-political institutions, scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues. Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories, the word revolucion is known in French from the 13th century, and revolution in English by the late fourteenth century, with regards to the revolving motion of celestial bodies. Revolution in the sense of representing abrupt change in an order is attested by at least 1450. Political usage of the term had been established by 1688 in the description of the replacement of James II with William III. The process was termed The Glorious Revolution, there are many different typologies of revolutions in social science and literature.
One of several different Marxist typologies divides revolutions into pre-capitalist, early bourgeois, bourgeois-democratic, early proletarian, Charles Tilly, a modern scholar of revolutions, differentiated between a coup, a top-down seizure of power, a civil war, a revolt and a great revolution. Other types of revolution, created for other typologies, include the social revolutions, proletarian or communist revolutions, failed or abortive revolutions, the term revolution has been used to denote great changes outside the political sphere. Such revolutions are usually recognized as having transformed in society, culture and technology much more than political systems, some can be global, while others are limited to single countries. One of the examples of the usage of the word revolution in such context is the Industrial Revolution. Note that such revolutions fit the slow revolution definition of Tocqueville, a similar example is the Digital Revolution. Perhaps most often, the revolution is employed to denote a change in socio-political institutions.
Freedom of speech is the right to articulate ones opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction. The term freedom of expression is used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking and imparting information or ideas. The right to freedom of expression includes the right to take, concepts of freedom of speech can be found in early human rights documents. Englands Bill of Rights 1689 legally established the right of freedom of speech in Parliament which is still in effect. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted during the French Revolution in 1789, specifically affirmed freedom of speech as an inalienable right. The Declaration provides for freedom of expression in Article 11, which states that, The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, speak and print with freedom, freedom of speech, or the freedom of expression, is recognized in international and regional human rights law.
This means that the protection of freedom of speech as a right not only the content. The right to freedom of speech and expression is related to other rights. As a general freedom of expression may not limit the right to privacy, as well as the honor. However greater latitude is given when criticism of public figures is involved, the right to freedom of expression is particularly important for media, which plays a special role as the bearer of the general right to freedom of expression for all. However, freedom of the press is not necessarily enabling freedom of speech, lichtenberg argues that freedom of the press is simply a form of property right summed up by the principle no money, no voice. Freedom of speech is understood to be fundamental in a democracy, the norms on limiting freedom of expression mean that public debate may not be completely suppressed even in times of emergency. One of the most notable proponents of the link between freedom of speech and democracy is Alexander Meiklejohn and he argues that the concept of democracy is that of self-government by the people.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The full text is available on the United Nations website, in 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights. In 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, during World War II, the Allies adopted the Four Freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want—as their basic war aims. A universal declaration that specified the rights of individuals was necessary to effect to the Charters provisions on human rights. In June 1946, the UN Economic and Social Council established the Commission on Human Rights, the Commission on Human Rights, a standing body of the United Nations, was constituted to undertake the work of preparing what was initially conceived as an International Bill of Rights.
The commission established a special Universal Declaration of Human Rights Drafting Committee, chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt, the committee met in two sessions over the course of two years. At the time, Humphrey was newly appointed as Director of the Division of Human Rights within the United Nations Secretariat, other well-known members of the drafting committee included René Cassin of France, Charles Malik of Lebanon, P. C. Chang of the Republic of China, Humphrey provided the initial draft which became the working text of the Commission. According to Allan Carlson in Globalizing Family Values, the Declarations pro-family phrases were the result of the Christian Democratic movements influence on Cassin, during these discussions many amendments and propositions were made by UN Member States. British representatives were extremely frustrated that the proposal had moral but no legal obligation, a On 10 December 1948, the Universal Declaration was adopted by the General Assembly by a vote of 48 in favor, none against, and eight abstentions.
Honduras and Yemen—both members of UN at the time—failed to vote or abstain, south Africas position can be seen as an attempt to protect its system of apartheid, which clearly violated any number of articles in the Declaration. The six communist nations abstentions centred around the view that the Declaration did not go far enough in condemning fascism and Nazism, Eleanor Roosevelt attributed the abstention of the Soviet bloc nations to Article 13, which provided the right of citizens to leave their countries. 48 countries voted in favour of the Declaration, a.8 countries abstained, Later on, the underlying structure of the Universal Declaration was introduced in its second draft, which was prepared by René Cassin. Cassin worked from a first draft, which was prepared by John Peters Humphrey, the structure was influenced by the Code Napoléon, including a preamble and introductory general principles. Cassin compared the Declaration to the portico of a Greek temple, with a foundation, four columns, articles 1 and 2 are the foundation blocks, with their principles of dignity, liberty and brotherhood.
A Speakers Corner is an area where open-air public speaking and discussion are allowed. The original and most noted is in the northeast corner of Hyde Park in London, Speakers here may talk on any subject, as long as the police consider their speeches lawful, although this right is not restricted to Speakers Corner only. On some occasions in the past, they have intervened on grounds of profanity, historically there were a number of other areas designated as Speakers Corners in other parks in London. More recently they have set up in other British cities. Public riots broke out in the park in 1855, in protest over the Sunday Trading Bill, which forbade buying and selling on a Sunday, the riots were described by Karl Marx as the beginning of the English revolution. The Chartist movement used Hyde Park as a point of assembly for workers protests, the Reform League organised a massive demonstration in 1866 and again in 1867, which compelled the government to extend the franchise to include most working-class men.
The riots and agitation for democratic reform encouraged some to force the issue of the right to speak in Hyde Park, the Parks Regulation Act 1872 delegated the issue of permitting public meetings to the park authorities. Contrary to popular belief, it does not confer a statutory basis for the right to speak at Speakers Corner. Parliamentary debates on the Act illustrate that a principle of being able to meet and speak was not the intention. Since that time, it has become a site for public speeches and debate, as well as a major site of protest. There are some who contend that the tradition has a connection with the Tyburn gallows and its existence is frequently upheld as a demonstration of free speech, as anyone can turn up unannounced and talk on almost any subject, although always at the risk of being heckled by regulars. Prior to the ruling, prohibited speech at Speakers Corner included obscenity, insulting the queen, the following organisations and individuals, listed here in chronological order, have a well-established history of speaking regularly in Hyde Park.
Eddie Harris was an American jazz musician, best known for playing tenor saxophone and for introducing the electrically amplified saxophone. He was fluent on the piano and organ. His best-known compositions are Freedom Jazz Dance and popularized by Miles Davis in 1966, Harris was born and grew up in Chicago. His father was originally from Cuba, and his mother from New Orleans and he studied music at Roosevelt University, by which time he was proficient on piano and tenor saxophone. While in college, he performed professionally with Gene Ammons, after college, Harris was drafted into the United States Army and while serving in Europe, he was accepted into the 7th Army Band, which included Don Ellis, Leo Wright, and Cedar Walton. Leaving military service, he worked in New York City before returning to Chicago where he signed a contract with Vee Jay Records and his first album for Vee Jay, Exodus to Jazz, included his own jazz arrangement of Ernest Golds theme from the movie Exodus. The single climbed into the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached No.16 in the U. S.
R&B chart, some jazz critics, regarded commercial success as a sign that a jazz artist had sold out and Harris soon stopped playing Exodus in concert. He moved to Columbia Records in 1964 and to Atlantic Records the following year where he re-established himself, in 1965, Atlantic released The In Sound, a bop album that won back many of his detractors. In 1967, his album, The Electrifying Eddie Harris reached second place on the R&B charts, the albums lead track, Listen Here, was issued as a single, climbing to No.11 R&B and No.45 on the Hot 100. Harris released several different versions of his composition over the years, the first appeared on an early Atlantic album, Mean Greens, featuring him on electric piano. He was to re-work the track two years later, stretching it out to seven minutes in length, for his iconic sax solo version. The whole track appeared on both sides of the Atlantic hit single, edited into two parts, in 1969, he performed with pianist and vocalist Les McCann at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent to lawful authority, Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel, a seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition. Typically, sedition is considered an act, and the overt acts that may be prosecutable under sedition laws vary from one legal code to another. Where the history of legal codes has been traced, there is a record of the change in the definition of the elements constituting sedition at certain points in history. This overview has served to develop a sociological definition of sedition as well, the term sedition in its modern meaning first appeared in the Elizabethan Era as the notion of inciting by words or writings disaffection towards the state or constituted authority.
Australias sedition laws were amended in anti-terrorism legislation passed on 6 December 2005, updating definitions, opponents of these laws have suggested that they could be used against legitimate dissent. He had brushed aside recommendations to curtail new clauses outlawing "urging conduct" that "assists" an "organisation or country engaged in armed hostilities" against the Australian military and these laws were amended in Australia on 19 September 2011. The 'sedition' clauses were repealed and replaced with 'urging violence', during World War II former Mayor of Montreal Camillien Houde campaigned against conscription in Canada. On 2 August 1940, Houde publicly urged the men of Quebec to ignore the National Registration Act, three days later, he was placed under arrest by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on charges of sedition. After being found guilty, he was confined in internment camps in Petawawa, upon his release on 18 August 1944, he was greeted by a cheering crowd of 50,000 Montrealers and won back his position as the Mayor of Montreal in the election in 1944.

Stroller or simply Push chair, baby carrier as it is commonly described is usually a mode of transportation of infants or a child. A pram is usually used to push new born babies or infants about in a pusher that has wheels. A pram is designed for children below 3 years and they usually sit facing forward instead of facing the person pushing the stroller.
The earliest and best baby strollers were styled and created by William Kent. His concept had been a round shell shaped framework on wheels that were plushy mounted and pulled either by goat or a little pony to transport the Duke of Devonshire. The strollers were 1st available in United states of America in the year 1830 by Benjamin Potter Crandall. His son innovated on the first patterns and engineered brand-new styles for which he had the patent. He was basically responsible for introducing braking systems in strollers. He also developed pushchairs exactly like the ones that may be folded away and had fittings for an umbrella and a parasol. Baby carriages grew to become incredibly well-known and ended up being purchased by the British Royalty during the 1800s.
The early strollers were created out of timber and had metal features. It later evolved into reversible stroller which was created by William Richardson. He developed a design, where the wheels managed to move on varying axis unlike the earlier versions that did permit the wheels to move on their own. This made pushing the wagon straightforward. Basically during the early twentieth century the prams were made affordable and were readily available for the general public. They integrated braking systems, they were more secure and more robust.
It was actually in 1965 that pushchairs were manufactured with less heavy materials like aluminium. The support frames had been constructed from aluminium and integrated fixed umbrellas. This made them much easier to get shipped from one particular spot to the other. Pushchair is much more an english term instead of an american usage. The best travel system strollers typically had the kid within a sitting position facing outward away from the individual pushing the cart. Strollers had been created to hold more than a single child. They became extremely well-liked in Eighties. These strollers where retractable due to the alloy structure used by the designer Maclaren for the buggy he designed. Pushchairs for twins became really common and only nowadays prams for over two have been offered around the markets.
There are quite a few popular businesses that make quality strollers all over the place. Pushchairs have reduced the anxiety of transporting a baby when on a journey and improves the scope of taking a baby to many environments. Looking through the world wide web will offer a lot of suggestions about the various types of prams that are sold across the globe. A lot of web-sites come up with offers that slash the cost to virtually fifty percent of its market value.
One is generally certain to find good bargains by shopping on the internet. Pushchairs have made a lot of parent's life simpler and have made it easier for them to get much more active. Though in nineteenth century pushchairs were accessible only for the royalty and the rich, nowadays it has turned out to be a need to have item in many family. Folks tend to keep the same prams for all their kids merely because they do not break down easily.

MEN: 5 signs her bréast is fake
Set foot on any beach or in any park this season and you're bound to catch sight of at least one "perfect" pair, nestled freely in a woman's bikini with nary a sweater or parka to cruelly shield them from the world.
But we designate "perfect" with quotation marks because, let's face it, we've all seen women with bréasts that are a little too textbook. According to stats from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, almost 300,000 women had bréast augmentations in 2010 alonemeaning there are plenty of silicon-stuffed twins out there just waiting for guys to debate their authenticity.
That's where we come in. With the help of Norman Rowe, M.D., a New York City plastic surgeon, we've put together a handy how-to guide that you can use to tell if a woman's bréasts are bogus just by looking at them.
They're Too Close Together
Most women's bréasts have 2 to 3 inches of space in between them, but implants shrink that gap significantly. If it looks like her bréasts are touching in the middle, they're likely fake. 'When doctors put in implants, most of the time they'll just pop them in and set the bréasts very close to each other, near the midline of the chest,' says Rowe.
They're Too High Up
Another dead giveaway is if her bréasts are set too high on her chest. Usually, bréasts should sit right around where the armpits are. A botched boób job when implants are placed in from the armpits can make the bréasts ride up higher, Rowe says. This is easier to see when women are wearing swimsuits, because padded push-up brás also lift bréasts.
They Look Like Cantaloupes
'Natural bréasts are shaped like pears or teardrops, but if hers look more like big, round melons, that's a telltale sign they're fake,' says Rowe. That's because unlike real bréasts, which are naturally fuller on the bottom, implants are evenly distributed with silicon or saline from top to bottom, creating a perfectly round shape.
You Can Spot Scars
Plastic surgeons generally use four access points on the body to put in implants, all of which leave scars: The belly button (look for a scar about half an inch up from it, toward the abdomen); the inframammary crease between the bréasts and chest (leaving two symmetrical scars at the bottom of the bréasts); around the nipples (but she'd have to be topless for you to see it); and the armpits, which leave the most noticeable scars. 'If a woman's wearing a tank top and she lifts her arms up, you might notice 2-inch scars under her armpits on either side,' says Rowe. And unlike the belly button, which could be an incision point for other surgeries like appendectomies, not too many other surgeons use the armpit for other procedures, he says.
You Can Hear Sloshing
You might need bionic ears (or just a quiet room) for this one to work, but here's a sign you can actually hear instead of seeing: Women with saline implantsan alternative to siliconwill sometimes give off a 'sloshing' sound when they move side to side. That's probably the result of the surgeon filling up the implant once it was inside the woman's bréast, Rowe says. 'If the implant doesn't fill up all the way with saline, it creates an air pocket, which is audible. It's not something you'd notice on a woman walking down the street, but you can definitely hear it in an intimate setting,' he says.
