Julianne Moore is Taking a 'Non Stop' Flight with Liam Neeson Next
by Ben Pearson
After the frankly undeserved success of Taken 2 at the box office this past week, it's no surprise that Liam Neeson's next film has become a hot commodity. Robert Mark Kamen revealed yesterday that Fox wants to make a Taken 3 (cue the eyerolls), but before Neeson slips back into the Bryan Mills character, he's taking to the skies for an action thriller called Non Stop. Variety reports that the actor will reunite with Julianne Moore after the two co-starred in the steamy, sexual thriller Chloe back in 2009, as the actress has joined Non Stop in an unknown role. Jaume Collet-Serra will direct after teaming with Neeson on Unknown.
Neeson will play a federal air marshal who starts receiving texts from someone claiming to be on the same flight and threatening to kill the passengers, so naturally Neeson has to stop this dastardly plan and presumably snap a few necks in the process. I guess that whole marshals don't have to put their phones on airplane mode, but sounds like someone else is breaking the rules of flying by texting in the air. Moore's role is unclear at this point, so she could be playing anything from a helpful flight attendant (ala Halle Berry in Executive Decision), a pilot, a passenger, or - my personal hope - the terrorist. That would be a hell of a surprise, but I won't keep my fingers crossed for that particular outcome. The movie sounds like a solid thriller though, and I hope Neeson keeps this up at this point in his career.

ben - just curious...what did you mean by "and I hope Neeson keeps this up at this point in his career.".......he's been a great actor for a long time.

Just meant that he keeps making good decisions by picking smart action movies and mixing them up with more dramatic stuff here and there.
Ben Pearson on Oct 10, 2012
thanks for the reply - i just wasn't sure about the meaning. if he never did another movie - his roles in "rob roy"; "schindlers list", and "michael collins" will keep me happy for many years.
Liam, wear a rubber, dude. That chick gets around.

CBDology | By CBD | Why choose us?
Our singular mission is to help transform our customers' lives - and their living quality - with our CBD food supplement products.
Our philosophy is to serve our customers with the highest quality CBD products, with exceptional levels of customer service. We never allow a customer to walk away disappointed after dealing with us - we strive to ensure a customer walks away feeling very happy that we have delivered both fantastic products and customer service.
We pride ourselves not only on our incredible CBD products, but also on our fast, friendly customer service, and rapid delivery times. You will not find an easier supplier to do business with, and we always treat our customers as we like to be treated ourselves – that is our central philosophy.
Some customers feel a modest or even a large health benefit from CBD within a few days, others feel a benefit after 1-2 weeks, but it is incredibly rare that someone does not feel even a small benefit after 2 weeks daily use. Therefore we offer a money back guarantee in the unlikely event that you really feel that after 2 weeks of daily use, it has provided no benefit in the slightest. This is how confident we are in the power of CBD and our products. There is a reason that it is the fastest growing health food supplement at the moment - it really works!
The CBD market is starting to get crowded!
Whilst there are many long established and reputable suppliers, sadly there are a fast growing number of suppliers who have jumped on the CBD bandwagon and at best are purely "box shifting", i.e. having little or no knowledge of the CBD products they sell.
In some quarters it's even become a bit like the Wild West, with vendors boasting that they have more CBD in their products than in reality!
So how do you know your supplier is reliable, and delivering you the best possible CBD products?
CBDology are an EU based manufacturer of CBD health food supplement products. We only use CBD extracted from the highest quality hemp from licensed EU hemp farms.
The hemp from these farms is natural hemp, grown without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides, which ensures our products are clean and therefore safe.
We do not use CBD sourced from non-EU hemp, which is a potentially legally grey area within the EU.
Because we are the manufacturer as well as the wholesaler and retailer, we have a total grip on batch quality control. Each batch of CBD is lab tested at an independent analytical laboratory in Europe and the data is published here on our website.
When CBDology quotes the CBD concentration percentage of our products, for example 5% / 500mg we are referring JUST to the CBD content. We are not referring to the presence of other, far less beneficial cannabindoids such as CBDa. Many suppliers quote for example 5% / 500mg but when you look at the break down on their lab analysis data, it might be something like only 1.5% / 150mg CBD and 3.5% / 350mg CBDa!
As an example, our 5% / 500mg product contains 500mg pure CBD so delivers far greater health benefits, like for like.
Worse still - you see the too-good-to-be-true prices on Ebay and Amazon? This is because there are many fraudsters marketing on CBD products on these platforms, many of which have a far less than advertised CBD content, and sometimes no CBD in them at all. If it looks too cheap to be true then it probably is.
Our products are sold as dietary supplements only and are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease. It is recommended to check with a your doctor before starting a new dietary supplement program.

Q: How to Convert MYSQL DateTime to NSDate - Swift "2015-06-30T17:30:36.000Z" is an example of DateTime value in MySQL. How to convert it to NSDate in Swift?
Below is my code but it does not work
var sqlDateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
sqlDateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'Z'"
self.whenPublished = self.sqlDateFormatter.dateFromString("2015-06-30T17:30:36.000Z")

A: You just need to add the milliseconds thats it is missing at the end of your dateFormat string. Try like this:
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.calendar = Calendar(identifier: .iso8601)
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"
let string = "2015-06-30T17:30:36.000Z"
if let date = dateFormatter.date(from: string) {
    print(date)   // "2015-06-30 17:30:36 +0000"
}

Note: You need to use regular single cote ' instead of curved cote '

Alexis Clyde, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at Children's Health℠, talks about how selfies help shape a teen's identity and offers tips for parents.
In the past, adolescents expressed themselves through how they dressed, what music they listened to and what group they sat with at lunch. They conveyed their ideas by writing in their diary, talking with their peers and passing each other carefully folded notes.
Today, the age of technology is upon us, and the ability to communicate instantaneously with thousands of other people is almost commonplace, providing a more public forum for self-expression than ever before. Individuals can use this forum for almost anything, whether that is to call attention to social injustice or engage in socially unjust behavior. For many, this communication includes taking and posting selfies.
Historically, adolescents have gone through a sometimes trial and error process of becoming who they are – and it gets bizarre sometimes. This process of forming an identity often means trying on many different versions of who they might become in order to see what fits.
For many adolescents, a selfie is a concrete representation of who they are at that time, a "working self-concept" that they are trying on to see if it fits. Determining what "fits" is often related to how others respond to them. Social psychologists refer to this as the "looking glass self," which is the idea of learning about yourself from others, with peer perceptions being especially important for adolescents.
Learning self-knowledge from others is a complicated process, though, and individuals rarely see themselves the same way others see them. We also have a tendency to pay more attention to favorable information about ourselves, discounting the negative. This means it won't be as simple as disapproving of something your adolescent does or says to get them to change.
Part of adolescence is becoming independent, which often means challenging authority and opposing what is mainstream. That means that negative attention, especially from parents, might fuel the fire of a particular identity. For example, an adolescent might hold tighter to an identity that is rejected by others (i.e., dressing provocatively, wearing only dark clothing), as this quality might make them feel more unique and independent.
However, this does not mean that adolescents do not value what parents think of them and prefer negative attention instead of positive; in fact, the opposite is actually true. It's just that figuring out what makes them unique and finding a group of like-minded peers is especially important during this developmental period.
Despite their challenges, adolescents respond well to open communication with adults. Talk to your child about your own personal process of determining who you are, including your values. And, although it might be hard, try to tolerate your adolescent's tendency to try on less than ideal identities at times.
Of course, you should not allow your adolescent to post inappropriate selfies on social media websites, and the safety and security of your child can depend on how closely parents are able to monitor access to them.
But, when you can, find something nice to say about your adolescent's selfie, even if it features 15 layers of dark eye make-up, a brooding expression and an outfit you do not remember buying. These aspects of who they "are" will be important in developing how they understand themselves.
Our psychology experts share more insights on the selfie generation. Learn the latest research on how selfies might influence your child's self-esteem.

Big Data and Data Management – is there any Relation ?
According to Industry experts, only close to 0-10% of Information created is structured and remaining 0-90% is multi data sets which are both structured and un-structured in nature and growing at an exponential pace that will surpass the growth of only transactional data. One of the classical example is the location detail in mobiles gets more quickly updated than the number of times one goes to bank ATM and do a withdrawal from the bank.
Around 19th century, thinking of 1 Exabyte or Petabyte of data storage or intelligence data analysis was an imagination people would not have acknowledged. 10 years post to that industries recognized the need for the analysis of Gigabyte and slowly move towards Terabyte and today in 21st century we are all talking how we could handle, store, search, organize, archive, de-duplicate and do intelligence analysis of Petabyte of data – to increase the top line and bottom-line of the organization.
Big Data as the name suggests is an amalgamation of large, complex, dynamic data sets which in un-manageable under the existing or current technological landscape both from storage and intelligence insights overview. According to Gartner, many IT leaders are attempting to manage "big data" challenges by focusing on the high volumes of information to the exclusion of the many other dimensions of information management, leaving massive challenges to be addressed later. Big data is a popular term used to acknowledge the exponential growth, availability and use of information in the data-rich landscape of tomorrow.
"Big Data" is not one more mechanism with Data-warehousing capabilities which stores neither large volume of data or data types nor one ERP package. Its objective is towards realizing the Business outcomes by tapping all then Enterprise data assets and discovering unknown relationships between customers, products, locations or suppliers. To get the best out of the "Big Data" Organizations needs to build the physical infrastructure to capture and handle the extreme volumes of data with respective data types. It can then be consolidated and integrated with proper Data Governance to get the "Single source of Truth" – which can be feed for Data mining and Analytics and result in more Acquisitions, Analysis and be an enabler for increasing the top line and bottom-line of the organization.
Today as the world going through lot of uncertainty and crisis situations, organization look forward to implement "Data as a Strategic Asset". Data Harnessing and Enrichment is like Renewable energy. Like organizations harness raw energy to be converted into usable energy, today companies feel the raw data to be converted into usable data and then enrich the same to get the maximum benefits from the insights of Data. Companies are looking for re-engineering the "Big Data" as a Strategic Initiative and using technology to implement the same and monetize it.

Even Cops Think the Officer Who Killed Brendon Glenn Should Be Prosecuted. Los Angeles' Prosecutor Doesn't
Filed to:News
Brendon Glenn
Photo: The Law Office of James DeSimone
Brendon Glenn is dead.
Like in the countless cases that preceded his, Glenn was an unarmed black man killed by a police officer. Like those of his innumerable predecessors, his death was captured on video. As usual, the officer who shot Glenn says that the man was reaching for a fellow officer's gun even though eyewitnesses and video do not show it.
But unlike in most cases, the police chief says that the officer who shot Glenn should be prosecuted. The cop whose firearm Glenn was allegedly reaching for testified that he didn't feel Glenn trying to reach for his weapon and said that he had no idea why his partner shot Brendon Glenn.
Yet Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey decided not to bring charges against Clifford Proctor, the officer who shot Glenn in cold blood.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Lacey admits that her decision had nothing to do with whether or not Proctor's decision to shoot Glenn was justifiable. She did not convene a grand jury or file a single charge. In fact, though, there is such clear and convincing evidence in this case that legal experts familiar with it have wondered if Lacey would ever prosecute a case of police brutality.
On May 5, 2015, a bartender at a Los Angeles bar dialed 911 to report that a customer was being "loud and obnoxious," refusing to leave. Los Angeles Police Department officer Clifford Proctor and his partner, Jonathan Kawahara, arrived on the scene to find 29-year-old Brendon Glenn and his dog.
Kawahara's bodycam shows Proctor, who is black, cursing at Glenn and telling the offender, "Don't come over here with your dog or I will shoot your dog." Even though the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department would later fault Proctor for cursing and yelling, which "likely escalated the situation," Kamahara's report would describe his partner as acting "calm and professional."
The officers told Glenn to leave, which he does, prompting the officers to turn off their bodycams. But Glenn continued to yell at customers at another bar, and video surveillance footage shows a bouncer from another establishment throwing Glenn to the ground, at which point Proctor and Kawahara try to handcuff Glenn.
As they wrestle with Glenn, he tries to stand up. Glenn's left hand is not visible in the surveillance footage, and neither is Kawahara's gun. Proctor backs up and fires twice at point-blank range, hitting Glenn in the back and killing him.
After investigators determined that Glenn was on his stomach and using his arms to push himself off the ground when he was shot, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck announced in January 2016 that he would recommend that the prosecutor, DA Lacey, file charges against Proctor for Glenn's death.
In a 12-page document, Beck noted that both responding officers were aware, before their arrival, that they would be dealing with someone who was possibly intoxicated but that the officers failed to develop a tactical plan.
He also deemed Proctor's defense that Glenn was reaching for Kawahara's weapon to be null and void. Kawahara said that he did not feel a tug on his holster, and Beck added:
Video footage obtained from the Townhouse Bar captured the struggle between Glenn and the officers and at no time during the struggle can Glenn's hands be observed on or near any portion of Officer [redacted] holster. Officer [redacted] holster was attached to the left side of his duty belt.

Witnesses to the incident also said that they didn't see Glenn reach for Kawahara's gun. Kawahara said he had no idea why Proctor shot Glenn. DNA tests of Kawahara's service belt were inconclusive. A police commission investigating the incident concluded that a "reasonable" officer would not have viewed Glenn as a threat. The city of Los Angeles eventually paid Glenn's family $4 million to settle a wrongful death suit.
Despite the abundance of evidence, on March 8, Lacey decided that her office would not pursue criminal charges against Proctor because, apparently, Los Angeles County prosecutors require more than video evidence, testimony from officers at the scene and eyewitness testimony.
"A duty to file criminal charges exists only when our office determines that the admissible evidence is of such a compelling force that it would warrant a conviction after considering the most plausible, reasonable and foreseeable defenses," Lacey's office explained in an 88-page memo. "That is not the case here."
The explanation does not contend that the shooting was justified. It only speculates that it would be hard for Lacey's office to win the case, with Lacey grasping at every available straw to explain her decision. She even added that no witness could say for sure that Glenn didn't grab Kawahara's gun.
Lacey, however, did not include the fact that witnesses could not also state emphatically that Glenn was not a wizard who was immune to the laws of physics and gravity.
Seth Stoughton, a law professor who also served as a police officer, said he believes that there was enough evidence to present to a jury. Robert Saltzman, a former dean at the University of Southern California Law School who also served on the police commission that deemed the shooting unjustified, said that Lacey's report "bends over backwards to find, and then rely on, speculative conclusions to exonerate the officer."
In 2014, LAPD officers shot and killed 25-year-old Ezell Ford, who was black and unarmed. In 2015, LAPD officers shot and killed Charly Keunang, who was black and unarmed. Since 2000, 795 people have been killed by LAPD officers. In a county that is 9.1 percent black, more than 25 percent of the victims have been African American.
The Los Angeles prosecutor's office has not charged a police officer with an on-duty shooting in more than 15 years.
Maybe they will finally prosecute when a police officer murders an unarmed black man on live television during Monday Night Football on the 50-yard line of an L.A. Rams game as the super slo-mo replay cameras capture the police killing in high definition and surround sound from 18 different angles, the blood splatters only missing the few disrespectful players who dared to kneel while our heroic first responders unfurl the symbol of freedom and justice to the waning notes serenading all who live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
... and Brendon Glenn will still be dead.

World Health Organization Ranks Antibiotics in Move to Reduce Drug Resistance
Agency recommends penicillin-type drugs as first line of defense
The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a new classification of antibiotics aimed at fighting drug resistance, according to a Reuters report. The agency recommends penicillin-type drugs as the first line of defense and others only for use when absolutely necessary.
The new "essential medicines list" includes 39 antibiotics for 21 common syndromes, categorized into three groups: Access, Watch, and Reserve.
Drugs on the Access list have a lower potential for antibiotic resistance and include the widely used amoxicillin.
The Watch list includes ciprofloxacin, which is commonly prescribed for cystitis and strep throat but is "not that effective," WHO Assistant Director–General for Health Systems and Innovation Marie-Paule Kieny told reporters. Its use should be "dramatically reduced," the WHO said.
In the Reserve category, antibiotics such as colistin should be viewed as a last resort, according to the WHO.
"What we need to do as a global community is work out how we pay the company not to market colistin and not to promote it, and to keep it in reserve," Kieny said.
Other changes to the list include the addition of two oral cancer treatments; a new pill for hepatitis C infection that combines two medications; a more-effective treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); and new formulations of medications for pediatric tuberculosis.
The WHO also said that Roche's popular flu drug Tamiflu (oseltamivir) may be removed from the list unless new information supports its use in seasonal and pandemic influenza outbreaks. Oseltamivir was still useful for pregnant women and patients with complications, so its use should be restricted to the most-critical patients, Kieny said.

Don Ritchie född 9 juni 1926 i Sydney, död 13 maj 2012 i Sydney  är en australiensare som ingrep i många självmordsförsök. För detta erhöll han Australienorden. Han har officiellt räddat minst 180 personer som försökte begå självmord från en klippa som heter The Gap i Sydney.

Biografi
Richie gick på Vaucluse Public School och gick på Scots College. Ritchie tog värvning i Australiens flotta den 30 juni 1944 som sjöman under andra världskriget ombord på HMAS Hobart och bevittnade den villkorslösa kapitulationen av de japanska kejserliga styrkorna i Tokyobukten den 2 september 1945, vilket officiellt avslutade andra världskriget i Stilla havet. Efter kriget var han livförsäkringsförsäljare.

Ingripanden
Officiellt räddade han 180 personer från självmord under de 45 åren fram till 2009, även om hans familj hävdar att antalet är närmare 500. Ritchie bodde nära The Gap i Sydney, Australien, en plats känd för många självmordsförsök.

När Ritchie såg någon på klippan i nöd, korsade Ritchie vägen från sin egendom och började prata med personen, ofta inledd med orden, "Kan jag hjälpa dig på något sätt?" Efteråt skulle Ritchie bjuda tillbaka dem till sitt hem för en kopp te och en pratstund. Några av de människor som han hjälpte skulle återvända flera år senare för att tacka honom för hans ansträngningar att tala bort dem från sitt beslut.

Ritchie förklarade sitt ingripande i självmordsförsök och sa: "Du kan inte bara sitta där och titta på dem."

Utmärkelser
2006 tilldelades han Medal of the Order of Australia för sina räddningar, det officiella motiveringen var för "service till samhället genom program för att förhindra självmord". Ritchie och hans fru Moya utsågs också till "Årets medborgare" för 2010 av Woollahra Council, den lokala myndighet som ansvarar för Gap. Han fick Local Hero Award för Australien 2011, där National Australia Day Council sa: "Hans vänliga ord och inbjudningar till hans hem i tider av svårigheter har gjort en enorm skillnad. Don har räddat otroligt många liv med så enkla handlingar."

Död
Ritchie dog den 13 maj 2012, 86 år gammal. Han efterlämnade sin fru Moya och tre döttrar.

Greenwich Risk of Injury to a Minor Lawyer
Connecticut law is serious when it comes to situations that pose a possible risk of injury to children and young teens. A risk of injury to a minor arrest in Greenwich, Connecticut can cover multiple situations where there is even a slight chance of a child facing possible physical danger or exposure to morally questionable behavior.
As Greenwich domestic violence attorneys know, a risk of injury charge is often tacked on to other charges in domestic violence arrests when children are in the home. However, the risk of injury to children charge may be more serious than the other underlying charges, because it is treated as a felony with penalties that include up to 10 or more years in prison.
If you are facing a risk of injury arrest in Greenwich, Connecticut, it is vital to work with an experienced Greenwich risk of injury to a minor lawyer who can work with you and your family and who can craft the best possible defense according to the circumstances of your case.
What is Risk of Injury to a Minor in Connecticut?
There are a few different situations when a risk of injury to a minor arrest may occur.
First, under CGS §53-21, it is unlawful to place a minor (a child under 16 years old) in a position where they are at risk of life endangerment, or at risk for injury to physical health or moral impairment.
Second, CGS §53-21 makes it unlawful to have contact with the "intimate parts" of a minor or subject the minor to having contact with the intimate parts of an adult, in any sexual or indecent manner. A violation of this subsection is a Class B felony with up to 20 years of prison time and a fine of up to $15,000.
The third category, referred to as the "sale of children," prohibits an adult from transferring or accepting permanent legal custody of a minor under the age of 16 in exchange for money or something else of value. This offense is a Class C felony.
The fourth category, treated as a Class D felony, is "intentionally and unreasonably" preventing or interfering with the reporting of child abuse or neglect. This offense is punishable by up to five years in jail and a fine of up to $5,000.
Violations of subdivisions (1) and (2) are the most common charges, and they can arise from a number of different circumstances. Some examples include:
Reckless driving or drunk driving with a minor in the vehicle
Shoplifting in the presence of a child
Leaving a child unsupervised
Exposing a minor to explicit sexual images
Getting a DUI / DWI with kids in the car
Using excessive discipline in the home
Extreme roughhousing or horseplay
Will I be Contacted by the Department of Children & Families if I am Arrested for Risk of Injury to a Minor in Greenwich?
Most likely, yes. If someone suspects or has reason to believe that a child is being abused, neglected, or endangered in any way, they can report a claim to the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF). A complaint about child welfare typically will lead to an investigation by DCF. In a case where a claim is substantiated, a person's parental or visitation rights may be affected.
Working with a Greenwich Risk of Injury Lawyer
As a felony, a charge involving risk of injury to children is serious and requires immediate action. It is essential to seek counsel from a Greenwich risk of injury to a minor lawyer who are familiar with the statutes involved and how they apply to the facts of your situation. Your attorney will guide you through the legal process and work toward the best possible resolution.
Even if the circumstances that give rise to the charge are quite innocent or well-intentioned, the law can take a very harsh stand, with potentially devastating consequences. If you have been arrested and charged with risk of injury in Greenwich, Connecticut, contact a skilled Greenwich risk of injury to a minor attorney today.

Starbucks has come out with a new ad campaign that seeks to eliminate racism from American society by writing 'Race Together' on the side of their cups. The idea is that by writing these words on the side of a cup a 'national dialogue' will be instigated. The idea was inspired by the racial tension, protests and violence that have occurred in places from Ferguson, Missouri to New York City and Oakland, California, exposing chronic, deep-seated social antagonisms.
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz expressed his dismay with the ongoing racial tensions.
In truth this is nothing more than a cheap advertising ploy to get people to purchase their coffee. Starbucks is trying to take a real issue and use it as a method of marketing their product to the public. This is part of a trend of 'conscious consumerism'. It's a method capitalists use to turn anger or at least minor guilty feelings about race relation into supporting the system that perpetuates it, and turning a tidy profit at the same time. The point is to try and distract us away from taking any real action against racism and instead have us focus on buying things.
It is in reality reactionary liberalism.
I wonder how many yuppie Starbucks they'll be opening in majority African-American neighbourhoods? I'm sure the ghettos and 'hoods will welcome over priced coffee with open arms and embrace them as members of the community. There's a reason why Starbucks doesn't go to these places. The levels of poverty are too great for people to casually waste money on such an overpriced frivolity. Starbucks is a leader in providing poverty-level wages so I hardly think they're in any position to "bring up" the African-American community.
In what reality do people think this advertising campaign will work? Somehow having White middle and upper class people walking around with 'Race Together' written on their cups is supposed to cure economic inequality and longstanding social racial divides. It won't, and every member of the capitalist class, including Starbucks, knows that. This is a joke to them, this is a laugh they get out of using people's resistance to doing anything to turn a profit.
Poverty is not cured by good intensions, it is cured by radically altering the economic structure of society. Capitalism, a system of inequality, predicated on inequality, cannot cure inequality. Poverty can only be cured by the elimination of the production of social value according to the drive for profits instead of according to need. So long as it goes according to the market, the social product will not go where it is needed. This 'feel good' capitalism is nothing more than a sham to keep people from taking the radical action needed to solve the problem.
White liberals can now sleep soundly knowing that they drank a coffee to fight injustice.
This is to say nothing of the global production of coffee workers around the world. Outright slavery is carried out to produce the luxury drink that First Worlders enjoy. This petty feel good campaign washes over the global misery that is carried out by desperately poor peasant farmers. The First World activists however would have you focus on the issue of First World race, instead of the source of their own privilege.
This reminds me. Hank and John Green, especially Hank, mention a creepy amount of times that their lifestyle must be defended at all costs and progress is something that makes that defends that lifestyle. I noticed it consciously from listening and reading about your 3rd worldist analysis.
There is also a classism against the working and lower classes in this lifestylism because it is mostly out of the price range of the lower classes, who are just scraping by. I find fair trade products tend to be for unnecessary luxury things like jewelry, I do like that many are made by women's collectives and preserving traditional craft but they don't even cut a dent into the general market, really and I understand this. There is no changing the world just by buying something.
"White liberals can now sleep soundly knowing that they drank a coffee to fight injustice." *laughs* This is a golden line. So many pseudo-progressives defend living standards too much. I think some drop for privileged people in the 1st world would be worth it to have the poor actually have a dignified standard of living. It's not like people in the 3rd world enjoy having to rely on aid! Then there is the stupid liberal tactic of trying to raise attention to the (small) middle class in 3rd world countries which is insulting. As if real radicals want the whole world to be middle class vapid fuckwits. Incorrect.
I don't trust consumer activism of any kind really. They've done the same thing with gay rights to rake in the moolah for themselves.

How do I clean my bubble chandelier?
For regular maintenance use a handheld duster to remove minor surface debris. For deeper cleaning we suggest carefully wiping each globe with paper towel that has been lightly dampened with a multi-purpose glass cleaner. Tip: Wear a pair of cotton gloves while cleaning to allow you to get in around each globe without smudging others. Regular dusting should eliminate the need to clean often.
How do I change the light bulbs in my Bubble Chandelier?
The Bubble Chandeliers use clear, globe shaped, incandescent light bulbs with E26/E27 screw base. There is no shade or diffuser involved. Simply turn by hand to replace. To avoid getting fingerprints on the surrounding glass we recommend wearing cotton gloves.
Where can I purchase replacement bulbs?
Replacement bulbs can be purchased through most online light bulb suppliers. PELLE also sells replacement bulbs plus shipping. Please contact sales@pelledesigns.com to discuss your replacement bulb needs.


It's that time of year: If you're one of the hundreds of millions people on Ikea's mailing list, you probably recently received a thick square of super-thin paper filled with (mostly rendered) products. Ikea has been sending these babies out for more than six decades—and you can follow the evolution of popular design just by looking at them.
With the help of Ikea's own copywriters, the committed Ikea fans over at HomeDesigning pulled together 63 years of Ikea catalog covers, dating back to the first catalog ever sent out in 1951. It's fascinating (and pretty hilarious, at moments) to see the classic Ikea tropes evolve over time. There was definitely a dark period in the late 1960s and early 70s, but just a few years later, Ikea had ditched the overstuffed pee-yellow couches for classic designs like its Alvar Aalto-inspired Poang chair, which is still with us today.
Check out the covers below—or head over to their post for more.


From the time he was a child, Dash Mihok knew he was different.
Mihok, who describes his condition as "the greatest itch you've ever had, times 5000," travels the nation educating children and adults as a national ambassador for the Tourette Association of America.
Mihok, 41, grew up with two sisters with Tourette's; his father also experienced symptoms throughout his life. But that did little to assuage his pain.
Still, Mihok credits the condition for some of his greatest personal strengths. "With Tourette's, there's this element of vulnerability and compassion and empathy that you innately possess because of the affliction," he says.
Today, Mihok just hopes that his journey can help inform a new dialogue about Tourette Syndrome.
Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month lasts until June 15. For more information, visit www.tourette.org.

Super Falcons Climb To 38th On FIFA Rankings
Compatriot Mag
Full Article 3 minutes read
Sports & Utility
by Compatriot Mag
Nigeria have climbed to the 38th position in the latest FIFA women's world rankings released on the FIFA official website on Friday.
The Super Falcons maintained their position as number one in Africa after amassing a total of 1,599 points and moving just one spot upwards from their previous 39th position on the 155 team rankings.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the ranking is coming barely three months ahead of the Women's FIFA World Cup, which is scheduled to hold in France from June 7 to July 7.
The Super Falcons current position was boosted by their third place finish at a four-nation invitational tournament in China and an impressive run in a 12-nation tourney in Cyprus.
The reigning African champions ended the competition on a positive note with two wins and two defeats after beating Slovakia 4-3 and trouncing Thailand 3-0 to finish on seventh position.
Nigeria was followed on the rankings by Cameroon who maintained their 46th position with a total of 1,499 points, while South Africa dropped one spot to the 49th position with 1,485 points to finish third on the continent.
Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Morocco, Algeria, Mali, Senegal and Congo occupy the 51st, 70th, 79th, 84th, 85th, 88th and 100th positions, respectively, on the rankings to complete the top 10 on the continent.
The United States remain number one in the world after amassing a total of 2,101 points, followed by Germany with 2,072 points.
England and 2019 World Cup hosts France swopped positions as the Lionesses with 2,049 points moved one step up the rankings into third position, while Les Bleues with 2,043 points dropped to the 4th position.
Canada and Australia maintained their fifth and sixth positions, while Japan and Netherlands swopped places to finish seventh and eighth, respectively.
Sweden and Brazil maintained their positions to round up the top 10 teams in the world.
The 8th FIFA Women's World Cup finals will hold from June 7 to July 7, with France up against Korea Republic in the opening match at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
The Super Falcons will open their account in France against Norway at the Stade Auguste Delaune in Reims on June 8, before matches against Korea Republic in Grenoble on June 12 and host France in Rennes on June 17.

As with last year's Crimson Snow, Martin Edwards has been rummaging around in Santa's sack to find a collection of Christmas crime tales from the Golden Age of mystery. But did he find the presents we wanted or just some lumps of coal?
I'm pleased (but not particularly surprised) that Martin has unearthed some real gems here, only one of which I've seen before. It starts strong with A Christmas Tragedy by Baroness Orczy, By The Sword by Selwyn Jepson, an interesting inverted crime tale, and the titular The Christmas Card Crime by Donald Stuart.
The best is yet to come though, with the British Library finally deciding that John Dickson Carr is British enough to include his work, with Blind Man's Hood. It's a notch above most of the other tales here, which is saying something, despite the fairly obvious structure of the tale – not that it's not that typical of his writing given the inclusion of… well, read the tale and find out. And it is worth mentioning too the penultimate story in the mix, Crime At Lark Cottage, a clever little tale that I really enjoyed.
As with every collection, there are a couple of, well, lumps of coal, as it can't all be to everyone's taste. My particular lump was the final tale from Julian Symons, which just seemed like a drawn out shaggy dog story. A couple of other tales, from E C R Lorac and John Bude seemed a bit short to really develop the ideas therein as well.
But this is another strong collection from the British Library range and, if you've still got time to nip to a bookshop, an ideal present for any fan of crime fiction in your family.
For me the turkeys were the Durbridge and, to a lesser extent, the title story, but then I've read too much Verner this year!
Overall, a good collection for me, as I had only read one story before.

Q: retrieving installation wizard's exit code to understand what button user pressed with PowerShell script I have some PowerShell scripts that launch an uninstall wizard. After the wizard I have some code to clean things up. I don't want to execute that code if the user presses the Cancel button on the wizard. The only way I know from (other uninstall wizards) what the user has pressed is by inspecting the ExitCode like so:
$fileArg = "/q";
$proc = Start-Process "C:\Program Files\erl-23.2\Uninstall.exe" -ArgumentList $fileArg -PassThru -Wait;
$proc.ExitCode;

The problem is that this particular uninstall.exe gives me the same exit code of 0 regardless if the user presses Next and uninstalls or if they press the Cancel button. I cannot tell the difference. Other uninstall wizards give me 1 when the Cancel button was pressed and other values if something else happens.
Is there some other way to know what button the user has pressed or at least tell the difference between the Cancel button and all other actions?

Parenting is joy and Multiple Sclerosis is stress, and in the end it's not what you lose that matters but what remains.
Before things were an eternal mess, Christian was ordinary. He was a journalist, he was married, he didn't understand the six word joke a man walks into a bar. This joke, often repeated by victims of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), makes whimsical light of their very real symptoms, such as stumbling into doors and vision troubles.
In 2012, Christian wasn't yet one of the afflicted. He didn't feel odd and he wasn't burdened by an unraveling memory that seemed to be stitched to nothing. He had just purchased a 1930s cottage in Brighton, England that was in need of modernization, upgrading and erasing mold. And his wife was pregnant. It was later, when Christian was giving his newborn Leon a bath, that he noticed strange things. He had to search to find the doorknob. He felt a peculiar sensation throbbing in his chest. Prone to panic and anxiety, he thought he was having a heart attack but that was much too simple an explanation. He wasn't dying. Instead, his abnormal immune system was ruining his neurons; his brain's myelin – the sheath around the nerve fibers that controls the speed of impulses – were becoming damaged. Christian was living with a persistent intruder, a stranger that would not disappear.
At first Christian was treated for a vitamin deficiency and then, later, diagnosed with a swollen spine. But when his symptoms persisted – a farrago of surges down his spine that felt like a train running through his nervous system – he knew all was not well. He was clumsy, and his fingers felt odd. His voice quivered. He drooled. Years earlier, his brother Ben had a brain tumor. When Ben finally came home to recover, Christian was a witness to his anger as he came unglued. When Christian's MS was at its peak, when he was annoyed and cynical and bitter, when he couldn't feel his hands and walked outside with undone trousers, when he yelled at his toddler because she wasn't moving quickly enough, and when he sobbed, Christian was transported back to how Ben suffered. He began to feel like he was in a room without doors. He wanted to get out but couldn't and, instead, kept roaming around in circles. He was an accidental tourist in a country he could not stand but he was not allowed to leave. MS is an island that harbors lost men.
But fatherhood made it palatable. It was rewarding for Christian to nurture a child who needed him as much as he needed her. Because his sick brain was seeing strangers who were not there, he was better able to see the world through Leon's creative eyes, her healthy brain imagining purple cows. While she explored the world around her, he chose to be curious and courageous and explore this new world inside of himself.
If Christian's memoir can be distilled down to just one thing it is that a disease of the brain is practice. It takes time to understand and patience to learn to live with. The Inward Empire, Mapping Out the Wilds of Mortality and Fatherhood is exemplary because it is not the story of an incurable disease, but of a calamitous diagnosis making landfall within a family. Where does illness stop, and humanity begin? As Christian reflects on his health and vulnerability, he makes note of the emotional toll: with illness there can be the beauty of discovery along with the great peril. For him that means focusing on raising his beautiful child while living with an incurable disease. It's a credit to his skill as a writer and thinker that a memoir of MS isn't bleak. Bittersweet? Yes. Tragic? No. Full of wisdom? Yes, a ton of it – but then he is the son of a former monk. His story is of the daily persistence to not give in, an anthem for the sick.
Being a good father was Christian Donlan's dream come true. Being a healthy man, though, is, perhaps, only a dream.

#metoo, Too: Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men
Seemingly unending numbers of recent revelations of boyhood sexual abuse have included allegations related to the Catholic Church, workplaces, universities, the military, Congressional pageboys, Orthodox Jewish yeshivas, private and public schools, and the Boy Scouts of America, among many others. Concurrently, men in the sports, entertainment, political, and journalism worlds have publicly disclosed sexual victimization histories.
Research suggests that one in six boys has suffered unwanted direct sexual victimization by age 16. In order to treat this population, clinicians must be aware of the unique challenges male victims face in processing this trauma. This workshop will address these special issues for sexually abused boys and men. Particular attention will be given to the interpersonal core of sexual betrayal trauma and to themes of male gender socialization, sexual orientation concerns, effects of abuse by male as well as female victimizers; and cultural myths that interfere with men recognizing their sexual betrayal, disclosing it, and/or processing it.
The workshop leader has in 30+ years worked with over 2000 men sexually abused as boys or younger men. Examples from his clinical experience will illustrate many points made.
This session was originally presented as a live conference session in March 2019.
At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:
State how male sexual victimization was viewed in the late 20th century vs. today
Explain how masculine gender socialization affects boys' and men's processing of sexual abuse experiences
Identify how concerns about homosexuality affect boys' and men's processing of sexual abuse experiences
Explain how betrayal as an interpersonal trauma requires interpersonal healing
Identify at least five myths about male sexual abuse

North Korea, Geithner and California
Posted by Steven D | May 26, 2009 | Uncategorized | 8 |
What do these three things have in common? Aside from each of them being in the news recently, that is? Read on, dear reader and find out.
It's not everyday that one can say that a nuclear weapons test by a rogue state such as North Korea has a silver lining. However, as far as the dollar is concerned, that seems to be the case, as investors are suddenly finding security in the greenback that only a few days ago was noticeably absent:
May 26 (Bloomberg) — The yen and the dollar rose after Yonhap News reported that North Korea carried out a missile experiment a day after conducting a nuclear test that provoked international condemnation.
… The euro fell for the first time in seven days against the dollar after Britain's Daily Telegraph cited a German banking regulator as saying debt at the nation's biggest lenders may increase. […]
"The market is still digesting the news from North Korea," said Jeremy Stretch, a senior currency strategist at Rabobank International in London. "The dollar is holding up and the yen is also having reasonable gains. The defining factor is broad risk metrics."
The yen weakened to 95.01 per dollar as of 10:17 a.m. in London, from 94.83 yesterday in New York. It appreciated to 131.82 per euro, from 132.92. The euro declined to $1.3869, from $1.4017.
Maybe Obama's National Security Council is concerned about North Korea's latest nuclear gamesmanship, but oddly enough Tim Geithner may be quite happy. With the value of the dollar rising, this does make it easier for him to sell Treasury bills and other debt instruments, after all. Probably only a temporary boost, but when you're running trillion dollar deficits you take any advantage you can get.
Nonetheless, in the long term, the dollar is likely to fall again. Borrowing to bailout Detroit, Wall Street and possibly everyone in California can have that effect. The unintended consequences of believing taxes are the source of all evil is coming back to bite us in the hindmost.
The dollar's gains may be tempered on speculation bond sales this week will renew concerns that a record supply of Treasuries will jeopardize the U.S.'s AAA credit rating.
Ten-year Treasuries fell the most since June 2008 last week as the U.S. prepared to resume debt auctions after a two-week pause. The Treasury plans to sell $40 billion in two-year notes today, $35 billion in five-year notes tomorrow and $26 billion in seven-year notes on May 28. It will also sell $61 billion in three-month and six-month bills in a weekly auction today. […]
The U.S. will increase debt sales to $3.25 trillion in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc., as President Barack Obama borrows record amounts to try to snap the recession in at least 50 years. […]
"Given growing concerns about U.S. creditworthiness, capital outflows from the dollar-denominated assets may gain further momentum," said Kengo Suzuki, manager of the foreign bond trading department in Tokyo at Mizuho Securities Co., a unit of Japan's second-largest banking group.
Rising debt levels may jeopardize the AAA credit rating of the U.S. in the next three years, New York University economist Nouriel Roubini told Il Sole 24 Ore in an interview. "The situation may become risky in two, thee years time," Roubini told Sole. "The evolution of the crisis requires paying attention to this matter too."
Just more evidence that it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world out there. And the United States is still the King of the Crazies when it comes to economic policy. Example numero uno is the State of California, where the tax limitations imposed by Proposition 13 are wrecking untold havoc on that state's ability to deal with the current economic crisis. Demanding tax cuts in a deep recession, at a time of rising unemployment? Abandoning funding for essential government services? Failing to invest in critical infrastructure that no private company is ever going to risk their precious capital on without large investments of public funds? Perhaps California's right wing ideologues really do want to be the next Epic Fail Land of Libertarian Magic Dust. Like, say, Somalia.
Something tells me the time for faith based economics is at an end. That tax and regulatory policies which benefit the rich at the expense of everyone else need to go back to where they belong: the 19th Century. If only our Wise Old Men in Washington would come to the same conclusion. Fat chance of that ever happening, eh?
So thanks North Korea. You may have done Tim Geithner a big, if temporary, favor with your nuclear sabre rattling. Those of us in the know appreciate how your particular brand of crazy helps us maintain our own a little longer. Too bad you can't test a nuke or an ICBM every month. Then again, maybe that should be Obama's new policy toward Kim Jong-il's regime. Secretly provide the NK with enough weapons grade uranium and plutonium in exchange for an agreed series of nuclear "tests" to scare the investors of the world into buying all the US Treasury's dollar denominated debt. Probably makes as much sense as anything else Obama's economic team has been doing lately.

As a Californian, I look at the 'death spiral' the state government's in, and just shake my head. The conservative South has ruled policymaking for so long that it's become pretty much customary, and now that those policies (2/3 cote to pass budget, prop13 to start off) no longer fit the current state of the State, there's no political will to change them (The Dems can't muster 2/3 vote, and the 'Cons taped their eyes shut decades ago, and so can't see that change is needed). I'm fortunate my dependence on State resources is relatively low, but even I'll feel… Read more »
Was the 2/3 thing from a referendum too? The whole story of CA seems like a good object lesson for Obama and the Dems on the consequences of thinking the right ever works toward the good of the body politic.

: Automobile Reliability: 2011 Car and Truck Reliability GPAs: Best Luxury Cars in 2011
2011 Auto Reliability Ratings and Reliability Rankings
Support Freelance Auto Quality News and Information ->
The Best Luxury Cars in 2011 by James Bleeker
The best luxury cars by the 2011 Auto Reliability Grade Point Average (GPA) are:
Honda's Acura RL, an all-wheel-drive, V6 luxury sedan with a 2011 Auto Reliability GPA of 3.85 over a 6-year auto reliability data history,
Toyota's Lexus ES, a luxury sedan with a 2011 Auto Reliability GPA of 3.69 over a 10-year auto reliability data history,
Toyota's Lexus LS, a luxury sedan with a 2011 Auto Reliability GPA of 3.63 over a 10-year auto reliability data history.
Toyota Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Company account for all three of 2011's best luxury sedans.
These luxury cars are among the Top 30 automobiles offering 3 or more model years of reliability data in 2011.
The method of computation of the GPAs is probably familiar to nearly every college, technical school, and high school student. A Grade Point of 4.00 (that is, an A) is given to a Consumer Reports "Much Better Than Average" rating, a GP of 3.00 (that is, a B) is given to a CR "Better Than Average" rating, a GP of 2.00 (that is, a C) to an "Average" rating, a GP of 1.00 (that is, a D) to a "Worse Than Average" rating, and a GP of 0.00 (that is, an F) to a "Much Worse Than Average" rating.
