A couple of weeks ago, it was raining monarch butterflies. I was visiting a hilltop sanctuary near Mexico City where monarchs from Canada and the U.S. Midwest spend their winters.
The tiny critters cling to branches in clusters so dense they bend the bows of massive fir trees.
The branches sagged from the weight of butterflies. Thousands upon thousands of them — orange, black, and white — carpeted the trees around us, and the sound of their fluttering wings echoed through the still forest.
My three kids were mesmerized. Over Christmas holidays, in early January, we hiked the mountains of central Mexico with Omar Vidal, CEO of the World Wildlife Fund in Mexico, to see the famous monarch butterflies.
As most everyone interested in sustainability knows by now, the concept has been appropriated by numerous entities and used in various ways, often to achieve different objectives.
A survey of monarch butterflies overwintering in California shows that the population has not rebounded. Although the total number of monarchs counted this year was greater than last, the difference is due to a large increase in volunteer effort. Counts at major sites were down when compared to recent years.
Volunteers with the Xerces Society's Western Monarch Thanksgiving Count visited 253 sites and tallied a total of 298,464 monarchs—a fraction of the 1.2 million monarchs recorded in the late 1990s.
We know monarch numbers have declined drastically in recent years. Estimates are down by 80 to 90% from a population size of about one billion in the early 1990s.
It's long been thought that the big reason behind this is the loss of milkweed throughout the farming regions of the U.S. Midwest.
The Coast Guard works in partnership with Encore3, a manufacturing company in Québec, to prototype parkas, gloves and mittens made with milkweed insulation.
Gary Nabhan and I are bumping along in a rental car down a two-track dirt road that follows the edge of Sonoita Creek's floodplain, some 29 kilometers north of the Arizona–Mexico border.
Nabhan—an ethnobiologist, conservation biologist and agroecologist at the University of Arizona and author of more than 30 books on food, farming and nature—tells me how extraordinary this borderlands region is for pollinators: native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, even nectar-feeding bats. And now he is giving me a tour to illustrate his point.
This changes everything: Herbicide use is increasing with GMO adoption not decreasing!

Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt share unforgettable memories
By Tierney McAfee
April 05, 2016 at 08:34 PM EDT
Jim Spellman/WireImage
This article originally appeared on PEOPLE.com.
Gloria Vanderbilt and Anderson Cooper are living proof that it's never too late to get to know the people closest to you.
The mother and son sat down with PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly editorial director Jess Cagle ahead of the Tuesday release of their new memoir, The Rainbow Comes and Goes: A Mother and Son Talk About Life, Love, and Loss, which offers a rare glimpse into their special relationship via a collection of intimate email exchanges.
"When my mom turned 91, I wanted to use the time that we have left in our lives to get to know each other as adults," Cooper explained. "I realized I didn't want there to be anything left unsaid with my mom, I didn't want there to be questions that I still had about who she was and what her life was like. And I didn't want her to have questions about me as an adult."
The CNN anchor added that email was an "easier" platform for getting acquainted with his mom as an adult.
"Yes, because it gives it a kind of removal in a sense," Vanderbilt replied, adding, "I think that you have to be completely free when you're doing it and not be afraid and think that even if it's something that you didn't want to send, think about it and maybe it's something that you should."
But as the revealing interview went on, Cooper discovered that even he has his limits.
When Cagle asked Vanderbilt what topic she could talk about all day, for hours on end, she was quick reply, "Sex."
Asked whether his answer was the same, Anderson demurred.
"I'm not going to say that in front of my mom," he laughed. "No matter how weird our relationship is."

Big Preview: Southend United vs Rochdale
Southend United vs Rochdale...
As we reach the halfway stage of the season, Southend United will be hoping to continue the festive cheer as they welcome Rochdale to Roots Hall tomorrow afternoon.
Both sides were very evenly matched last season, drawing both league games 0-0, but a win for Blues would see them pick up their first back-to-back league wins since September/October.
Dale travel to Essex off the back of a home defeat to Plymouth Argyle last weekend and, like Southend, they too have had a mixed run of form in the league and currently sit 19th in the table.
But Keith Hill's side have picked up two more points on the road than they have at home this season, so they will no doubt pose a threat to Chris Powell's side in Blues' final home game of 2018.
Southend United: WLDLWL
Rochdale: LWDLWL
13th March 2018: Rochdale 0 vs 0 Southend United
2nd September 2017: Southend United 0 vs 0 Rochdale
14th January 2017: Southend United (Fortune, Cox) 2 vs 1 (Andrew) Rochdale
Chris Powell has said that Saturday will likely come too soon for Harry Bunn who missed out on the win against Accrington following a thigh injury picked up against Portsmouth.
Michael Turner has trained all week having passed a late fitness test to sit on the bench last Saturday, but the Southend squad still remains threadbare due to a spate of injuries.
Blues continue to be without Tom Hopper, Ben Coker, Sam Barratt, Harry Kyprianou, Harry Lennon and Jason Demetriou who all remain unavailable due to various injuries.
Rochdale have no fresh injury concerns in their squad following last weekend's defeat to Plymouth Argyle at the Crown Oil Arena.
Captain Ian Henderson will pose Dale's main threat having already scored 13 goals this campaign despite recently being deployed in midfield rather than as a striker.
Chris Powell, Southend United Manager:
"We're all looking forward to Rochdale, focusing on the game and making sure no one gets any knocks in training this week. We want to follow up the result against Stanley and hopefully another three points against Rochdale.
"If you look at us now we're 12th in the league, we've scored 28 goals and we've conceded 28 so we are right in the middle, I actually think that does sum us up this season.
"We've had some great results, some poor results, we've had some good wins and we've also had some poor defeats, it really has been right in the middle of the road for us."
Southend United vs Rochdale on 22 Dec 18


Yes, I have - and it's rather lovely, IMO, except for the odd occasion where his obvious classical training overrides accessibility. I'm not surprised that his music has taken a turn towards the pastoral - even as early as the mid-80s he released a cassette with Tim and Sarah Smith of the Cardiacs (under the name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. Drake") which was evidently his handiwork for the most part, and sounds like a primitive dry run for both his solo albums and the NSRA (he ws already adsapting poems like Andrew Marvell's "The Garden" to music back then).
And yes, you're right - "I a Moon" is their best album. I think the fact that many of the lyrics are about Tim Smith's tragic illness renders the songs too emotinally raw to be twee.

A severance agreement or separation contract is an important legal document.
This is your last chance to ask for any amendments to that agreement.
No laws require private employers to pay any employee severance pay.
There is no state or federal law which requires your private employer to pay you severance pay.
It is highly unlikely that you will be able to successfully argue that you did not know what you were signing or that you signed under duress.
Can you negotiate a higher severance amount?
But negotiability depends on the facts of your particular employment situation.
There is never any guarantee that you will recover more money. However, without having an employment lawyer read your entire proposed severance agreement or contract and ask you questions you will never know whether signing the agreement was your best choice.
Severance agreements are all unique.
Will you be able to discuss your severance after you sign the agreement?
Severance agreements almost always include confidentiality provisions. They often include non-compete and non-solicitation clauses. https://www.urbanylaw.com/new-york-employment-law-914-366-7366/non-compete-agreement/ They usually prevent you from discussing the terms with anyone except legal counsel, accountants, and sometimes immediate family members. You may have agreed to restrictive covenants when you were hired that you no longer recall. Those paragraphs can be difficult to fully understand. Ask an employment lawyer to explain them to you.
The payment and timing of your unemployment benefits is often affected by severance pay.
"Your severance pay may affect unemployment benefits. New York State prohibits unemployment benefits until the exhaustion of severance pay if such pay occurs within 30 days of an employee's last day.
You must notify the Telephone Claims Center if you receive or will receive dismissal/severance pay within 30 days of your last day of employment. This applies even if you receive dismissal/severance pay after you file your claim. If you do not notify us, you may receive an over-payment of benefits, which you will need to pay back. You also may be subject to other penalties.
Your employer gave you a lump sum payment and the weekly pro-rated amount of the payment is greater than the maximum weekly benefit rate.
The dismissal/severance pay is stopped and you have enough earnings in the base period to establish a claim.
Before you sign any severance agreement take it to employment lawyers for review.
Urba Law PLLC performs severance agreement reviews, followed by telephone consultations, remotely for all of New York State. Call (914) 366-7366 for details.
Urba Law PLLC performs these reviews for clients around New York State and the country. https://www.urbanylaw.com/new-york-employment-law-914-366-7366/client-reviews/ If your work was performed in New York State or governed by New York Law give us a call.
Documents are often scanned and e-mailed. And payment may be made electronically on-line. Many clients never leave their homes or businesses for such reviews and consultations.


Needs Assessment: Once each week the Stroke Steering Committee which includes the Director Stroke Program, Faculty and Staff meet to review the Stroke Center Program process and events including the need for a UC Irvine Stroke Symposium. It is a requirement from Joint Commission and the OC EMS that UC Irvine Comprehensive Stroke Program educate the healthcare community on current Stroke guidelines.
UC Irvine is the leader in the county for stroke and is committed to present current research, prevention and treatment options for stroke. The planning committee also receives requests from clinicians from UC Irvine and outside hospitals on the need for a Stroke Symposium.
Important changes in the acute care for stroke were recently released in January 2018. These changes will be discussed at the 2018 Stroke Symposium.
* Describe the resources available in the community and importance of rehabilitation for best outcome for stroke patients.

The 4123rd Strategic Wing was the first strategic wing organized in the Strategic Air Command. It was activated at Carswell Air Force Base and equipped with B-52 jet bombers and KC-135 aerial tankers. On 19 February 1958 the 4123rd Strategic Wing took possession of the first Boeing B-52 Stratofortress on Carswell AFB. At the arrival ceremony on base the bomber was named "The City of Fort Worth". It was subsequently assigned to the 98th Bomb Squadron in the wing. Shortly following the arrival of B-52 bombers to the 4123rd Strategic Wing, the unit was moved to new facilities at Clinton-Sherman AFB, Oklahoma. In March 1959, the wing moved to Clinton-Sherman Air Force Base, Okla., where it conducted a nine-month test of the airborne alert program. The wing received the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for participation in the test program. From 1959 until 1962 the 4123rd Strategic Wing at Clinton-Sherman Air Force Base, Okla., flew KC-135 tanker aircraft. By 1962 the 902nd Air Refueling Squadron was flying KC-135s at Clinton-Sherman. The 902nd flew a number of missions in support of a Boeing Aircraft Co. test program to provide conventional bomb carriage on B-52s.
On 9 September 1952, the Air Force announced its decision to build a $31 million medium jet bomber base near Jacksonville Arkansas (about 25 miles northeast of Little Rock); construction began on 08 December 1953. By August 1954, the 384th Bombardment Wing (BMW) and 70th Reconnaissance Wing had been selected by SAC to reside at the base. The 384th Bombardment Wing of the Strategic Air Command was based at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., between 1955 and 1963, flying B-47 aircraft. As of late 1961 the 70th Bombardment Wing was operating B-47s at Little Rock AFB.
Air Force personnel stationed at Clinton-Sherman included the 98th Bombardment Squadron assigned to the 4123rd Strategic Wing (1959-1963), and the 6th Bombardment Squadron assigned to the 70th Bombardment Wing (1963-1969). As of 1962 the 70th Bombardment Wing was flying the B-52D at Clinton-Sherman Air Force Base, Okla. The 6th Bombardment Squadron operated the B-52 from February 1963 through September 1969 while assigned to the 70th Bombardment Wing at Clinton-Sherman AFB. Primary models assigned were B-52E from 1963 to 1968 and B-52D from 1968 to 1969. A few B-52C models were assigned for during 1968 and 1969. B-52 operations ceased when the Wing was inactivated in 1969.

Watch: A goat on the red carpet cornered the limelight at this year's Tony awards
Sparky the Goat, who was a cast member of the musical 'Once on this Island,' arrived in style in a black bow tie.

It might be a @TheTonyAwards first: A goat on the red carpet — and a stylish one, too. #TonyAwards2018 pic.twitter.com/fzxGLU9TBq
— NY1 - ON STAGE (@NY1onstage) June 10, 2018
The presentation of the 2018 Tony Awards was as star-studded an event as usual. Still, of all the famous names walking the red carpet, it wasn't a human who stole the limelight – it was Sparky the Goat.
The goat arrived in style, dressed in a black bow tie with a white collar. Sparky, who appears in the Broadway musical Once on This Island, was there to support his fellow a actors, including Hailey Kilgiore, who was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Musical. He was accompanied by producer Ken Davenport.
Sparky also left his mark on the red carpet quite literally, like goats often do, prompting the cleaning crew to tidy up. He even went into the Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, New York, where the show was held, and watched a performance by the ensemble. Sparky has thousands of followers online, including on the Instagram account he shares with his fellow cast mate and goat, Peapod.
Once on this Island won the Best Revival Of A Musical award. The play tells the story of a young peasant woman named Ti Moune, with elements of Romeo and Juliet.

Ballarat and the Great Nuggets
There is no such thing as 'the Queen's English.'
The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company
and we own the bulk of the shares!
- Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar
Frequently, in Australia, one has cloud-effects of an unfamiliar sort. We had this kind of scenery, finely staged, all the way to Ballarat. Consequently we saw more sky than country on that journey. At one time a great stretch of the vault was densely flecked with wee ragged-edged flakes of painfully white cloud-stuff, all of one shape and size, and equidistant apart, with narrow crack of adorable blue showing between. The whole was suggestive of a hurricane of snow-flakes drifting across the skies. By and by these flakes fused themselves together in interminable lines, with shady faint hollows between the lines, the long satin-surfaced rollers following each other in simulated movement, and enchantingly counterfeiting the majestic march of a flowing sea. Later, the sea solidified itself; then gradually broke up its mass into innumerable lofty white pillars of about one size, and ranged these across the firmament, in receding and fading perspective, in the similitude of a stupendous colonnade-a mirage without a doubt flung from the far Gates of the Hereafter.
The approaches to Ballarat were beautiful. The features, great green expanses of rolling pastureland, bisected by eye-contending hedges of commingled new-gold and old-gold gorse-and a lovely lake. One must put in the pause, there, to fetch the reader up with a slight jolt, and keep him from gliding by without noticing the lake. One must notice it; for a lovely lake is not as common a thing along the railways of Australia as are the dry places. Ninety-two in the shade again, but balmy and comfortable, fresh and bracing. A perfect climate.
Forty-five years ago the site now occupied by the City of Ballarat was a sylvan solitude as quiet as Eden and as lovely. Nobody had ever heard of it. On the 15th of August, 1851, the first great goldstrike made in Australia was made here. The wandering prospectors who made I scraped up two pounds and a half of gold the first day–worth $600. A few days later the place was a hive-a town. The news of the strike spread everywhere in a sort of instantaneous way-spread like a flash to the very ends of the earth. A celebrity so prompt and so universal has hardly been paralleled in history, perhaps. It was as if the name BALLARAT had suddenly been written on the sky, where all the world could read it at once.
Smaller discoveries made in the colony of New South Wales three months before had already started emigrants toward Australia; they had been coming as a stream, but they came as a flood, now. A hundred thousand people poured into Melbourne from England and other countries in a single month, and flocked away to the mines. The crews of the ships that brought them flocked with them; the clerks in government offices followed; so did the cooks, the maids, the coachmen, the butlers, and the other domestic servants; so did the carpenters, the smiths, the plumbers, the painters, the reporters, the editors, the lawyers, the clients, the barkeepers, the bummers, the blacklegs, the thieves, the loose women, the grocers, the butlers, the bakers, the doctors, the druggists, the nurses; so did the police; even officials of a high and hitherto envied place threw up their positions and joined the procession. This roaring avalanche swept out of Melbourne and left it desolate, Sunday-like, paralysed, everything at a stand-still, the ships lying idle at anchor, all signs of life departed, all sounds stilled save the rasping of the could-shadows as they scraped across the vacant streets.
That grassy and leafy paradise at Ballarat was soon ripped open, and lacerated and scarified and gutted, in the feverish search for its hidden riches. These is noting like surface-mining to snatch the graces and beauties and benignities out of a paradise, and make an odious and repulsive spectacle of it.
What fortunes were made! Immigrants got rich while the ship unloaded and reloaded-and went back home for good in the same cabin they had come out in! Not all of them. Only some. I saw the others in Ballarat myself, forty-five years later-what were left of them by time and death and the disposition to rove. They were young and gay, then; they are patriarchal and grave, now; and they do not get excited any more. They talk of the Past. They live in it,. Their life is a dream, a retrospection.
Ballarat was a great region for 'nuggets.' No such nuggets were found in California as Ballarat produced. In fact, the Ballarat region has yielded the largest ones know to history. Two of them weight about 180 pounds each, and together and were worth $90,000. They were offered to any poor person who would shoulder them and carry them away. Gold was so plentiful that it made people liberal like that.
Ballarat was a swarming city of tents in the early days. Everybody was happy, for a time, and apparently prosperous. Then came the trouble. The government swooped down with a mining tax. And in its worst form, too; for it was not a tax upon what the miner had taken out, but upon what he was going to take out-if he could find it. It was a licence-tax licence to work his claim-and it had to be paid before he could begin digging.
Consider the situation. No business is so uncertain as surface-mining. Your claim may be good, and it may be worthless. It may make you well off in a month; and then again you may have to dig and slave for half a year, at heavy expense, only to find out at last that the gold is not there in costpaying quantity, and that your time and your hard work have been thrown away. It might be wise policy to advance the miner a monthly sum to encourage him to develop the country's riches; but to tax him monthly in advance instead- why, such a thing was never dreamed of in America. There, neither the claim itself nor its product, however rich or poor were taxed.
Ballarat miners protested, petitioned, complained-it was of no use; the government held it ground, and went on collecting the tax. And not by pleasant methods, but by ways which must have been very galling to free people. The rumblings of a coming storm began to be audible.
By and by there was a result; and I think it may be called the finest thing in Australasian history. It was a revolution-small in size, but great politically; it was a strike for liberty, a struggle for a principle, a stand against injustice and oppression. It was the Barons and John, over again, it was Hampden and Ship-Money; it was Concord and Lexington; small beginnings, all of them, but all of them great in political results, all of the epoch-making. It is another instance of a victory won by a lost battle. It adds an honourable page to history; the people know it and are proud of it. They keep green the memory of the men who fell at the Eureka Stockade, and Peter Lalor has his monument.
The surface-soil of Ballarat was full of gold. This soil the miners ripped and tore and trenched and harried and disembowelled, and made it yield up its immense treasure. Then they went down into the earth with deep shafts, seeing gravelly beds of ancient rives and brooks-and found them. They followed the courses of these streams, and gutted them, sending gravel up in buckets to the upper world, and washing out of it its enormous deposits of gold. The next biggest of the two monster nuggets mentioned above came from an old river-channel 180 feet under the ground.
Finally the quartz loads were attacked. That is not poor-man's mining. Quartz-mining and milling require capital, and staying-power, and patience. Big companies were formed, and for several decades, now, the lodes have been successful worked, and have yielded great wealth. Since the gold discovery in 1853 the Ballarat mines-taking the three kinds of mining together- have contributed to the world's pocket something over three hundred millions of dollars, which is to say that this nearly invisible little spot on the earth's surface has yielded in forty-four years as all California has yielded in forty-seven. The Californian aggregate, from 1848 to 1895, inclusive, as reported by the Statistician of the United States Mint, is $1,265,217,217.
A citizen told me a curious thing about those mines. Will all my experience of mining I had never heard of anything of the sort before. The main gold reef runs about north and south-of course- for that is the custom of a rich gold reef. At Ballarat its course is between walls of slate. Now the citizen told me that throughout a stretch of twelve miles along the reef, the reef is crossed at intervals by a straight black streak of a carbonaceous nature- a streak in the slate; a streak no thicker than a pencil-and that wherever it crosses the reef you will certainly find gold at the junction. It is called the Indicator. Thirty feet on each side of the Indicator (and down in the slate, of course) is a still finer streak-a streak as fine as a pencil mark; and indeed, that is its name-Pencil Mark. Whenever you find the Pencil Mark you know that thirty feet from it the Indicator, trace it straight to the reef, and sink your shaft; your fortune is made, for certain. If that is true, it is curious. And it is curious anyway.
Ballarat is a town of only 40,000 population; and yet, since it is in Australia, it has every essential of an advanced and enlightened big city. This is pure matter of course. I must stop dwelling upon these things. It is hard to keep from dwelling upon them, though; for it is difficult to get away from the surprise of it. I will let the other details go, this time, but I must allow myself to mention that this little town has a park of 326 acres; a flower garden of 83 acres, with an elaborate and expensive fernery in it and some costly and unusually fine statuary; and artificial lake covering 600 acres, equipped with a fleet of 200 shells, small sail boats, and little steam yachts.
At this point I strike out some other praiseful things which I was tempted to add. I do not strike them out because they were not true or not well said, but because I find them better said by another man-and a man more compete to testify, too, because he belongs on the ground, and knows. I clip them from a chatty speech delivered some years ago by Mr William Little, who was at that time mayor of Ballarat: The language of our citizens, in this as in other parts of Australasia, is mostly healthy Anglo-Saxon, free from Americanisms, vulgarisms, and the conflicting dialects of our Fatherland, and is pure enough to suit a Trench or a Latham. Our youth, aided by climatic influence, are in point of physique and comeliness unsurpassed in the Sunny South. Our young men are well ordered; and our maidens, 'not stepping over the bounds of modesty,' are as fair as Psyches, dispensing smiles as charming as November flowers.
The closing clause has the seeming of a rather frosty compliment, but that is apparent only, not real. November is summer-time there.
His compliment to the local purity of the language is warranted. It is quite free from impurities; this is acknowledged far and wide. As in the German Empire all cultivated people claim to speak Hanovarian German, so in Australasia all cultivated people claim to speak Ballarat English. Even in England this cult has made considerable progress, and now that it is favored by the two great Universities, the time is not far away when Ballarat English will come into general use among the educated classes of Great Britain at large. Its great merit is, that it is shorter than ordinary English that is, more compressed. At first you have some difficulty in understanding it when it is spoken as rapidly as the orator whom I have quoted speaks it. An illustration will show what I mean. When called and I handed him a chair, he bowed and said 'Q.' Presently, when we were lighting our cigars, he held a match to mine and I said 'Thank you,' and said 'Km.'
Then I saw. Q is the end of a phrase 'I thank you' Km is the end of the phrase 'You are welcome.' Mr Little puts no emphasis upon either of them, but delivers them so reduced that they hardly have a sound. All Ballarat English is like that, and the effect is very soft and pleasant; it takes all the hardness and harshness out of our tongue and gives to it a delicate whispery and vanishing cadence which charms the ear like the faint rustling of the forest leaves.

What fun I had with Marniejo's House of Scraps new kit Fins, Feathers, & Fur. There are so many possibilities with this kit that I just kept creating layout after layout, and ended up with eight layouts!
Here is the kit and below that are my layouts.


More than 300 young people from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Slovenia, Belgium and Serbia have gathered in Belgrade to translate EU into the language of day-to-day life and help people understand the basic values behind it. They also got a unique chance to share experiences, have a good time together and enjoy major sights of the Serbian capital.
This project was realized by Libero in partnership with Gradska opština Vračar and partners from Slovenia (Javni Zavod Mladi Zmaji), Belgium (Out Of The Box International), Bosnia-Herzegovina (PRONI Centar) and Macedonia (Interkultura).
The project TranslateEU is co-funded by the Europe for Citizens Programme of the European Union.

Stir-frying involves frying food quickly over very high heat in an oiled pan. While stir-frying, you generally stir continually. A special slope-sided pan called a wok is designed for stir-frying. An open flame heat source such as gas works best when using a wok.
Different frying oils produce different results. A light oil such as sesame produces a slightly healthier and much more tasty result but can burn if overheated. Olive oil has a low smoking point and may heat too quickly.
Make sure all ingredients are prepared before you begin stir-frying.
Heat the wok on medium-high or high heat at least one minute before adding oil. Do not pre-heat the wok if it has non-stick coating, as the heat can damage the coating.
Drizzle the oil down the sides of the wok to maximize oil coverage as well as to heat the oil more quickly.
Cook meat on high heat in order to keep it juicy. Remove the meat before stir-frying the vegetables. Add the meat back into the mix once the vegetables are almost cooked.
If you are cooking over an electric range, replace the wok with an ordinary heavy-bottomed frying pan. You will achieve better results this way since electric ranges will not properly heat the curved sides of a wok.
If you are using an electric range, you can preheat the pan or wok in an oven set to its highest setting, and only use the electric range to maintain heat during cooking. Be careful, as the pan's handle will be very hot.

The Real Impact of Abortion Stigma
Rachel Jacobson
I was 18 when I had my picture taken by an anti-choice activist for the first time. It was unnerving, to say the least. I had recently started working as a patient advocate at Whole Woman's Health, an abortion provider in Austin, Texas. Soon navigating the throng of aggressive anti-choice activists became a regular part of my work day, but I never got used to it. In addition to shouting at every person that approached the clinic—providing what they call "sidewalk counseling"—some protesters also shamed visitors by taking their picture. Not only did they photograph patients, their friends and family, and the staff, they even took photos of the license plates of their cars. It was a chilling intimidation tactic because these pictures were often later posted on anti-choice websites, or, in the case of staff, used to create "wanted" posters.
In the midst of these constant attempts at shame and intimidation, I had the honor of standing with people as they made the decision about whether or not to continue with their pregnancies. In my late teens and early 20s I worked at the front desk of the clinic, and later on I was a counselor and funding coordinator. Eventually I became an advocate, working with local communities to combat stigma and pushing for progressive abortion policy.
Over the years, I met people who were deeply religious and those who were atheist. I talked with people who were lesbian and bisexual and straight, people who were cisgender and transgender. I met people who were parents already and others who knew they never wanted to be parents. I talked to 13-year-olds and 45-year-olds. In other words, I talked with people from all walks of life because there is no single kind of woman who has an abortion.
But the stigma of abortion means that we rarely get to hear the stories of real women who have had them. Some pioneering organizations and campaigns in the United States and elsewhere have been working to change this. We need to amplify these messages, because stigma breeds silence. And in the vacuum created by that silence, what stories get told, what policies get made?
The untruths abound: that women can't make moral decisions, that only careless people have abortions, that abortion is bad for women. These myths stand unchallenged, and as a consequence, our leaders develop policies based on them. The misinformation caused by and perpetuated by stigma leads directly to restrictive abortion policies. If you look at abortion policies in many countries—such as mandatory waiting periods or third-party consent laws—you see they are written in a way that perpetuates the stigma and discrimination. They portray abortion as a dangerous procedure that people choose without sufficient consideration or information, or that only a certain type of woman wants or gets an abortion. You would think that women are not capable of rational, ethical decision-making and have to be protected from making the "wrong" decision.
In the clinic, we often said that pregnancy shines a bright light on a person's life. Questions about religion, family, career, relationships, and health jump to the foreground with new urgency as people choose which sacrifices they can or want to make. All pregnancies involve sacrifice no matter if they result in abortion, adoption, or parenting. And no one knows better than the pregnant person which decision is right for them; no one understands better the full implications and impact of their choice. We need policies that respect this truth and that protect, respect, and fulfill our sexual and reproductive rights.
Ending the stigma of abortion involves telling the stories of people who choose abortion and those who don't. It involves speaking the truth about abortion and dispelling both the myths and the deliberate misinformation. And for those of us who can, it's about standing up bravely and proudly to say, "I support abortion rights." We have to fight stigma and say that good people have abortions every day. We need to ensure that countries everywhere respect, protect, and fulfill every woman's right to decide the course of her own life.

View Full Version : Thief or Splinter Cell?
I've notice from recent news that thief 3 is using alot of the same ellements that splinter cell has, like 3rd person, and having your back against the wall.
But does anybody think that ion storm are trying to turn this game into spliter cell?
perhaps they are competeing with splinter cell to create a better game.
Do these ellements imporve thief or take away the originallity?
I don't know why Ion Storm would try to emulate Splinter Cell. Thief is far superior to SC. SC was, in fact, supposed to be in direct competition with the Metal Gear series, and was supposed to kill MGS (which it didn't).
I definately agree with the above user. SC wasn't intended to be anything like Thief. It's an entirely different game, but admittedly SC was a nice distraction while waiting for Thief, as SC 2 will probably be (as it will probably be out sooner than Thief3, but who knows in the end).
BUt dont you think alots been taken from sc and put into thief?
Splinter Cell was very boring for me, waaaaay too linear. Thief is nothing like that, in fact the devs say they want even more problem solutions in T: DS than in the previous games.
I don't think so. Besides SC has also "borrowed" a lot from older games.
But that 'back against the wall thing' was in that game also.
Mosts games borrow stuff from others. And what's wrong with that? Personally I think it will make games, in general, better and more fun to play.
But I have to admit that some features in games are hypes. You'll suddenly see a certain feature appear a lot in games released within a short period of time. And you'll see that the developers have copied stuff of each other.
Im a little upset about the 3rd person view in Thief III but I did really really enjoy it in Splinter Cell. It was fun to see your character in action, Rolling and diving into shadowy Corners. Who knows it might be a lot of fun seeing Garrett doing this stuff. Not sure yet. I cant say til I play the demo.
I heard that Ion Storm has recruited some of the programmers who worked on Splinter Cell to do the stealth. Dont remember their names though.
I agree with Coldplay_Josh. I'm sure that IS have been influenced by Splinter Cell, after all it was a huge seller. Why else introduce a totally unnecessary 3rd person perspective? IS imagines that this is what a console gamer expects to see in a stealth game.
Don't forget, when you put Garrett up against a wall in the first two (maybe not in T DP but I know in T2) your visibility gem became dimmer because he presses himself against the wall. So he already does it, it's just that we didn't have a 3rd person view to see it.
