The Third Day, We Are Doing It!
Third day's plan was quite intense.
We had to go to the plexiglas workshop first to talk about the frame, that kids can put their drawings in it first.
After this quickly we went to the woodworkshop in Eminönü and gave him the measurements and waited until he finishes one bench so that we could bring it back to Şişhane, to the plexiglas workshop to see how it looks when we cover the top and the side of the bench.
But when we were in the wood workshop we saw another woodbox maker and we decided to use them for the lightning with some fabric.
So, we went back to plexiglas workshop with the idea of lightning and one finished bench.
In the plexiglas workshop we put the colored pieces on the top and side and saw how it looks, it was quite fine.
Finally, we went to a lightning maker in Şişhane to take a look at the fabric he has. Unfortunately we couldn't find what we want there. But we have some ideas about it and he suggested some shops to buy.

Being a co-borrower or guarantor on a loan certainly has its benefits.
For example, by acting as a guarantor you can help your child buy a home without the need for a deposit – eliminating years of needlessly paying rent.
Yet the risks of not repaying back loans are real, and we'll go through some of them below.
But first, what is a co-borrower? And what's a guarantor?
You are a co-borrower if you sign a loan with someone else. Usually both yourself and the other co-borrower are jointly and individually liable for the debt.
If the person you borrow the money with is unable to pay their share of the loan, you will be responsible for repaying the full amount outstanding.
A guarantor on a loan is someone who agrees to be accountable (legally liable) for the repayment of the borrower's debt in case of default.
So, if your friend or family member can't – or won't – pay, then you'll have to repay the borrowed amount.
The main difference is that co-borrowers are each fully responsible for repaying a loan, whereas guarantors only become responsible if and when the borrower defaults.
Being a co-borrower or guarantor can be chancy business. There is no direct financial reward for being a guarantor or co-borrower but there are real risks involved.
As a guarantor for someone else's loan you are responsible for making the repayments if the borrow can't.
1. It could affect your credit rating: If the borrower is unable to make repayments it's in your best interest to step up and cover repayments. If you're unable to cover the payments to the loans, then you run the chance of defaulting on the loan and having that appear on your credit report.
2. Future credit: If you apply for credit down the line, the loan that you co-signed for will have to be included in your liabilities as an ongoing commitment. Even though you may not be the one making repayments on the loan, the lender still has the right to assess the amount.
3. Personal relationships: If you do end up having to make repayments on the loan, it could strain your relationship with the borrower. Even if you have a personal fall out with the borrower, you are still legally liable for the loan. So always consider what would happen if the borrower did default on the repayment plan and how you would deal with that situation.
When determining if being a co-signer is right for you, there are always benefits and drawbacks to consider.
As it's not a decision that should be taken lightly, seeking our independent advice might be your best course of action. So come in and have a chat and we'll be happy to work through it with you.
There may be other options we could suggest where can explore all of these for you in a First Home Buyer Strategy session.


Nigkui. Folklore from the Wampís culture.
When Size of Wales recently with a member of the Wampís nation, Shapiom Noningo, he told us a tale of the Wampís' cultural heritage. The Wampís have a strong tradition of story-telling and many of these tales contain hidden messages of great importance that have informed the Wampís behaviours and culture.
We know many stories, legends and myths, all related to the construction of our culture and how we relate with nature. Many of these contain hidden messages of great importance yet to be explored by the Wampís themselves. I will tell one of these very briefly, there are at least three versions of this legend.
The legend goes that before, the Wampís suffered a lot from hunger because they still didn't know of yucca (cassava), banana, yam etc. They lived mainly on forest fruits and even the heart of balsa (a very soft tree).
So the legend goes that one day, while her husband went to mitayar (hunt animals in the forest), a Wampís woman went to a stream, looking for something to eat or to gather wild edible plants. Going upstream, she noticed cassava peel underfoot, which she gathered and put in her basket; higher up, she saw the peel of inchi (sweet potato), which she also picked up and stowed in her basket.
Further upstream she heard women's laughter. She followed the stream and saw a group of joyous women washing cassava and yams. The Wampís woman felt encouraged and approached the group of women; they were Nugkui women. The Wampís woman was surprised and began to question the Nugkui "What are those that you are washing?" The Nugkui responded, "If you don't know what this is, then what do you eat?" The Wampís woman answered, "We do not eat those, we do not know what they are and that is why we suffer so much from hunger." Having said this, the Wampís woman began to ask the Nugkui "Please give me some cassava and yam." The Nugkui felt for the woman and one of them said "Go and take that girl that's lying over there," and they gave the girl to her right away.
The Nugkui mother advised the Wampís woman well, saying, "Take good care of her, do not hit her, don't let other children hit her, treat her well, do not make her suffer and do not make make her angry." Having said this, she added, "If you want some food, meat, fish, just ask her and she will agree to your request, but do not use force." And this is what she did. The Wampís woman began to ask the Nugkui girl for what she wanted to eat: cassava, banana, meat etc. "Nugkui, make pots of masato (cassava beer), Nugkui make farms full of ripe bananas appear…" Every request appeared instantly and the Wampís families began to eat and live well.
One day, the Wampís woman, owner of the Nugkui girl, went to her farm, leaving the Nugkui with other children. Nugkui had grown a bit by this point. The Wampís woman left, advising the children who lived in her house to look after Nugkui and not upset her. But children are naughty, and they began to annoy her, asking her for something that Nugkui did not want: "Nugkui, since you can bring anything, come on then, bring devils and snakes." Nugkui did not agree, saying that if she did that, they would become scared, so it wasn't a good idea to grant their request.
But the Wampís children kept on insisting until Nugkui accepted. Nugkui asked, "Let there appear many devils" (iwanch, in the Wampís language; there are many different kinds. It is said that before, the Wampís often saw devils: of the forest, the souls of the dead etc). Immediately, many forest devils appeared in the house, scaring the children. The children asked Nugkui to make them disappear, but she didn't pay them attention, so the frightened children started to hit the girl Nugkui until finally one of them threw some ash in Nugkui's eye.
Nugkui became very upset, she climbed up onto the roof of the house; as she was already big, this is what she did. At that moment, there was a strong wind, which blew some nearby bamboo closer and closer towards where Nugkui was sitting. The Wampís woman, who was arriving home realised what was happening at the house and came running back. As she arrived, she saw that the girl Nugkui was already on top of the roof of the house, where she was beyond reach. The Wampís woman begged Nugkui to come down, but she ignored her. Instead, she managed to grab the rod of bamboo and began to make her way down it, leaving her excrement on each knot of the bamboo. Before plunging to the ground, the Nugkui girl cursed the Wampís with these phrases: "I once wished that all Wampís would have every kind of food they wanted with ease, and that nobody would suffer in order to eat. From now on, each Wampís will suffer greatly to obtain food". As Nugkui and the bamboo sunk into the ground she said "kusui" (an old expression which indicates blowing and accompanies all kinds of spells and curses). Nugkui sunk through the subsoil, and they could not recover her.
Since that time, the Wampís struggle to obtain food easily. Since that time, all Wampís know that Nugkui lives in the earth (in the subsoil), and that from time to time she feels sorry for the Wampís. The legend goes that each piece of excrement which Nugkui left behind turned into each of the food crops: cassava, yam, banana, peanut etc.
She left at least something good to the Wampís woman: she taught the woman about the varieties of cassava and other agricultural produce, and how to cultivate the small farm, and all kinds of icaros (songs and chants) to care for the farm, so that all kinds of plants grow well and produce good fruits. For that reason, the women mastered those icaros and sing them every time they are in the farm to please Nugkui.
Nugkui is one of the most important ancestral figures which we Wampís maintain in our memories, and has contributed to the development of the cultural system of the Wampís, especially in the cultivation and management of farms.


This week, the World Bank released the latest issue of Africa's Pulse–a biannual publication highlighting key macroeconomic trends in sub-Saharan Africa. The report highlights the region's continued weak recovery from the commodity price shock in 2014, with 2018 GDP growth projected at 2.3 percent, lower than the rate of population growth. The current estimate for growth in 2018 is 0.4 percentage points lower than the October 2018 estimate as the region's major economies grew slower than expected. The report also lowered growth projections for 2019 and 2020 to 2.8 and 3.3 percent, from 3.3 and 3.6 percent, respectively.
This year's special chapter focuses on leveraging the digital economy to eradicate poverty in Africa. The chapter provides an overview of the current state of digital penetration in Africa, the remaining gap, and the potential growth benefits of achieving the World Bank's All Africa Digital Economy Moonshot project. The Digital Economy Moonshot targets a rapid expansion in fixed broadband, universal mobile phone and internet access, and an increase in human capital for women through more schooling.
Access to mobile phones and internet have expanded rapidly in Africa over the past two decades. Sub-Saharan Africa had 300 mobile internet and 778 cellular subscriptions per 1,000 people in 2017. However, as Figure 1 shows, there is a significant gap between subscriptions and unique users, particularly for mobile phone connections. Looking at unique mobile subscribers, only half of the region's population is covered, with the number closer to 25 percent for mobile internet subscriptions.
Given the large gaps, the potential benefits of achieving universal mobile phone and internet access are significant. If the targets are achieved, says the report, growth per capita would increase by 1.95 percentage points in sub-Saharan Africa and 1.48 for Africa as a whole. The growth benefits are even larger for fragile, conflict and violence affected countries at 1.54 percentage points compared to 1.30 for the rest. These results would also translate to faster poverty reduction, with the rate of poverty reduction increasing by almost 1 percentage point in sub-Saharan Africa.
According to the report, governments will need to play an active role in achieving these goals through supporting regulations, strong legal frameworks, and provision of skills training in technology-related sectors. Tax incentives on digital economy tools can help speed up adoption and increase usage of digital services. Allowing increased competition in digital economy sectors including telecommunications can also help lower prices in the sector, currently among the highest in the world. Additionally, governments should focus on adapting education and skills programs to the changing economy as the digital technologies become increasingly complex.

I am using view panel to pull the data from SQL using JDBC Connection manager and displaying in view panel control using Xpages. I am displaying 500 rows at a time and when users trying to scroll the data the column headers are going scrolling up. So, now I need to fix all view column header should be fixed when the rows are scrolling up/down. Can anybody help me regarding this?

A: You can add that capability to an existing viewPanel with the jQuery.Thead plugin. There are only 2 steps involved:

*

*Download the library and add it to your XPage/ application.

*Activate the plugin for your viewPanel (or repeat):

x$("#{id:viewPanel1}").floatThead({});
(the x$ function comes from the ExtLib Bootstrap theme)
I've put together a small demo here:
http://bootstrap4xpages.com/bs4xp/demos.nsf/fixedHeaders.xsp

A: May be have a look at DataTables, for details to implement this in XPages see the blogs ofOliver Busse, http://oliverbusse.notesx.net/hp.nsf/blogpost.xsp?documentId=D5E

A: The easiest way will be to add viewStyle to your viewPanel and set it to 100%.

I hope this helps!

Chavez rejects designated US ambassador, will not let him in
Other News 18 September 2010 04:28 (UTC+04:00)
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Friday that he will not let Larry Palmer, the designated US ambassador to Venezuela, into the country, dpa reported.
Palmer is unsuitable as an ambassador, Chavez said, for his comments to the US Senate on the allegedly poor morale of the Venezuelan Air Force.
"An irresponsible government like that of (US President Barack) Obama, a murderous, coup-perpetrating government - that is the Yankee empire," Chavez said.
"They come and designate Palmer as ambassador and, in the good spirit of having bearable ties, we said it was fine. But then he started to give comments, to attack our country, the government, the people and the armed forces. Sir, you are disqualified. Don't even show up here, because we would not even let you onto Venezuelan territory. Let that be clear."
Chavez said he did not care whether Washington sends an ambassador at all.
"And if they want to throw out our ambassador, let them throw her out," he said.
Chavez called Obama "irresponsible" for Washington's release of a report that accused Venezuela of not cooperating in the fight against drug trafficking. Chavez "categorically" rejected the report.
"The first government that violates I don't know how many laws, which facilitates, which backs terrorism, drug trafficking, that would be the government of the United States," he said. "We would need to put it first on the list."
Chavez was speaking on the campaign trail for the September 26 legislative election.

Has anyone had any luck finding radio knobs? I know that the subject has come up a few times over the years but I am striking out. I am missing one knob on my 77. I've searched junk yards in my area for older toyotas, but it seems that after fm came out, everyone yanked the am radio and threw in an aftermarket one. And, I'm not really wanting to drop a few hundred plus for a radio on eBay. Just didn't know if someone has sourced anything more recently?
It seems the ebay people thing they're made of gold. $200 is for a broken one.
Post up in the parts wanted classifieds and be patient. Maybe you'll get lucky.
You could take your one good one and try to get a copy made by someone. (?) If you get two made, they'd match and you could save your original in case you find another one in the future.
I'm going to go out and listen to a traffic report on my $700 AM radio.
Haha. Couldn't agree more about the ebayers.
I'll post up in classifieds.
Can you post a picture of your radio?
Nissan cars used a similar radio. I traded one to a mudder out of an 82 Nissan Sentra which bolted in and had aux inputs he ran to an IPod... Other old radios likely use the same knobs.
I'm not sure how 3d printing works, but conceptually I would think these knobs would be a good candidate for someone to make some coin!
Yup, im also in the .arket for a radio knob and would be a buyer if someone reproduced them!

Future BMW EVs Will Feature Cylindrical Cells From China's CATL
CATL is set to supply BMW with cylindrical battery cells from 2025 to power a host of electric vehicles.
The Chinese battery manufacturer recently signed an agreement with BMW and while details on the deal are limited, it is understood that BMW will look to cut costs by using these round cells instead of prismatic ones. Sources tell Auto News Europe that this change could reduce costs by 30 per cent.
Details about CATL's cylindrical cells are limited as it traditionally supplies most of its car manufacturers with square cells. It is reported that the battery supplier could establish a new factory in the United States to supply various car manufacturers with its new cells, in addition to BMW. Production at this new site could start in 2026.
It is possible that the cylindrical cells could be used by future BMW models using its upcoming Neue Klasse platform that will debut in 2025.
This BEV-only platform is expected to initially launch under the skin of an EV model in the 3-Series segment. While this architecture is modular, it will be mainly focused on midsize vehicles, even though the car manufacturer had previously suggested that the Neue Klasse platform could underpin vehicles ranging from the 2-Series through to the X7.
BMW is hoping to sell 2 million electric vehicles by 2025 and expects 50 per cent of its sales to be for EVs by 2030 or earlier. Production of the first model using this new architecture will start in 2025 at the automaker's plant in Hungary.

State election March 2017: With the state election just over the horizon, the Perth Voice takes a look at some of the policy announcements affecting seniors.
THE Liberal party is turning to film-makers to help sell a positive message about ageing.
Seniors and volunteering minister Paul Miles recently launched the Life in Pictures short film competition, to be held in partnership with the Revelation Perth International Film Festival.
"Society often values youth and beauty, while messages about ageing can focus on the negatives of getting older," Mr Miles said.
"Research shows these negative attitudes can often lead to social isolation and have significant impacts on seniors' health and wellbeing. People who view their own ageing negatively also tend to live on average 7.5 years less than people with positive attitudes.
"This competition will encourage everyone, the film makers and the viewers, to stop and think about how we view getting older. It will stimulate discussion about ageing in a positive way that values and shows respect to older people."
The minister said the new initiative had received the endorsement of the International Federation on Ageing and World Health Organisation.
"Competition entries should highlight how older people add to WA's communities, including their contribution to families, culture, the economy, volunteering and tourism," Mr Miles said.

Equality and diversity in health research
Posted on October 29, 2018 October 30, 2018 by Kate
Lauren Curtis, Diversity and Inclusion Champion in the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute, blogs about her role, Vote 100 and equality in health research.
Vote 100 marks 100 years since the first women gained the vote in the UK: definitely something to celebrate! When you look back at 100 years of women in medicine there is much to celebrate here too. The Elizabeth Blackwell Institute at the University of Bristol is named after Bristol-born Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to graduate from medical school. She was a pioneer instrumental in many campaigns for reform, and launched numerous innovative health schemes, including establishing the first UK medical school for women. A very fitting namesake for the Institute, which exemplifies the spirit of what we are striving to achieve today.
Elizabeth Blackwell
I joined the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research as Diversity and Inclusion Champion in November last year. This unique post, funded by the Wellcome Trust, focuses on identifying barriers, and championing and challenging Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) within health and biomedical research communities at the University of Bristol. More broadly EDI is something that the University is dedicated to, and so the work I am doing is very much aligned with the work of the EDI team.
Equality, diversity and inclusion in health research is vital as it encourages a range of solutions to health challenges. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, feel that they can contribute their ideas, and that each unique perspective is valued.
Since starting in this post, I have seen a lot of people doing fantastic work to address barriers related to EDI at the University and that progress has been made. However, we are not there yet and there is still much to do.
Lauren Curtis, EDI Champion
There are clear benefits to having a diverse range of staff, and in research, having lots of people bringing different ideas to solve problems is important. However, to attract and retain talented researchers everyone needs to feel that this is something that they want to and can be part of and to achieve this we must embed an inclusive culture where everyone can fully participate. EDI needs to be something that we are all involved in and should be threaded through all we do. My role is to help support colleagues in the health and biomedical research community to make this to happen.
I have worked with colleagues in the Faculty of Health and Faculty of Life Sciences to run discussion sessions and listen to staff talk about barriers and challenges they have faced or been aware of. This has enabled me to learn about the lived experiences of staff and, along with other information, has allowed me to identify some priority areas for action and ways in which we can continue to improve things.
"A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman physician that forms a situation of singular and painful loneliness, leaving her without support, respect or professional counsel." – Elizabeth Blackwell.
Thankfully much has changed since Elizabeth Blackwell spoke these words, but there is always more that can be done to ensure equality and inclusion for all.

Give a little RESPECT
Posted on October 11, 2018 by Kate
Sally Patterson, Bristol Students' Union elected officer for equality and liberation, has written today's blog on the work to tackle sexual harassment and violence.
As we mark 100 years since the first women gained the vote in the UK, it feels apt to celebrate the considerable progress made by our foremothers; contraception, safe abortions, the criminalisation of rape within marriage. Yet the reality is that we still have a long way to go.
Sally Patterson, SU officer for equality and liberation
Sexual violence still exists in many forms in our culture – from cat calling, unwanted sexting, harassment and abusive relationships to sexual assault and rape – including within our University. Research commissioned by Bristol SU at the end of the last academic year explored students' relationships, sex lives, experiences of sexual health services and experiences of harassment and assault.
Our 'Let's Talk About Sex' research found that students arrive at University with a range of different experiences and levels of education.  Just 24% of student surveyed had received formal education around sexual assault and rape and 24% had received formal education on healthy relationships.
Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly, our research mirrored the bleak picture at other universities: 52% of all Bristol students had experienced sexual harassment whilst studying, largely on a night out in a nightclub, bar or pub.
The results from our research remind us that we have a long way to go until women and non-binary students are equal and safe at university. Drawing from these results, as well as previous research and anecdotal evidence, we have launched the RESPECT campaign this term. Bristol SU and the University will be collaborating on a campaign that promotes a welcoming, positive, supportive and safe environment for everyone.
The response from students at the Welcome Fair was hugely positive: we had over 80 people sign-up to be ambassadors and gave out over 1,500 condoms and postcards with information.
RESPECT is made up of seven themes; relationships, empowerment, safety, pleasure, equality, consent and trust. Real change requires appropriate support for people who have been affected, whilst also working to change a culture under which sexual violence prevails, thus preventing similar experiences from taking place in the future. The University and Students' Union are committed to eradicating sexual violence in line with our Zero Tolerance Pledges. Now it is up to all of us to make this a reality.

Race, Female Suffrage, and Parliamentary Representation: Centenary Reflections
Posted on September 18, 2018 by Kate
Today's guest post is from Dr Sumita Mukherjee, Senior Lecturer in History, discussing the roles of history and race in global suffrage.
In February 2018, I held a workshop in parliament to discuss the ways in which we could learn from the history of suffrage struggles, and the fights for political representation in the Global South, and use those lessons in reflecting on the centenary of the Representation of the People Act in Britain. The workshop was supported by PolicyBristol, History&Policy and the national Vote 100 campaign. Some of the podcasts from this event are available online. Speakers came from a range of academic and policy backgrounds, with an equally mixed audience.
Dr Sumita Mukherjee, Senior Lecturer in History
We were guided by a number of key questions, including:
How can we inspire, or encourage, Black and Minority Ethnic women to feel included during commemorations this centenary year that celebrates a predominately white suffrage movement in Britain?
In what ways can we acknowledge the historical issues that women of colour have faced in campaigning for greater political and social equality?
How can we use examples of the ways women in the Global South have campaigned for greater political equality to inform current policy making and strategies for change?
This centenary of the Representation of the People Act, which gave some women the vote in the UK and Ireland, has been used by a number of groups within and outside parliament, to propel change towards greater gender equality. But women are not a homogenous group. Britain was not the first country to give women the vote, nor does Britain have the most women MPs in parliament in the world today; 65 countries do better than the UK in terms of the ratio of female to male politicians in parliament. There is a long way to go for gender equality in the UK, and we shouldn't automatically assume that Britain can't learn from the Global South, historically and contemporaneously, on successful campaigns for equality.
Indian suffragettes in a procession of 1911
If we look at the Inter-Parlimentary Union data, Rwanda tops the list for the highest proportion of women in parliament, with nearly 64 per cent (in 2013). This is a direct result of the 2003 imposition of a quota of at least 30 per cent women members of parliament. Political parties also adopted voluntary quotas for their shortlists. 16 countries in Latin America have adopted similar quotas, mostly from the 1990s onwards, with similar interventions in many other countries around the world. The UK has resisted. Meanwhile in countries without interventions there have been incidences where the proportion of women in parliament has declined. Being 'patient' is not good enough. It is clear that without intervention then structural inequalities, whether relating to race, gender, sexuality, or disability, are unlikely to be addressed. The assumption that appointments are made merely on merit and that the best women (or people from minority groups) would be elected or promoted if they were 'good enough', needs to be challenged because it does not take into account the structural inequalities many individuals face in their lives and careers.
Women in the Rwandan parliament
History doesn't necessarily offer lessons from the past, but it offers comparable examples. More importantly it shows how long it can take for change to take place; this is particularly apparent when looking at the suffrage struggles both in the UK and elsewhere. History allows us to see not only how the 1918 Act came to pass, but also the effects afterwards. We can see the value of petitioning, but also of organising, leadership, and persistence. What history shows is that there has been slow progress in gender equality in the UK since 1918. It also shows that inequalities based on race and class were not addressed sufficiently in the suffrage movement, and that the rhetoric of empire loomed large over debates over citizenship. Examples from around the world allow us to stop centring Britain as the centre of the world, or merely middle-class white feminists as the centre of the global feminist movement. History teaches us that those struggles and battles will continue beyond 2018.

Behind the scenes at Vote 100
Posted on September 10, 2018 September 10, 2018 by Kate
We work in the marketing and communications department and this year have been highlighting women and equality as part of Vote 100 – a national campaign to commemorate 100 years of women's suffrage. As Bristol Uni Women ourselves, we wanted to kick off this blog series by talking about why we are excited to be involved in this project.
Philippa, Sarah and Kate in the Wills Memorial Building
Throughout 2018 we've been asking fellow feminists to tell us about the women they think more people should know about; the next thing they'd like to see change; and the everyday acts we can all take part in to improve equality.
The answers have been as varied as they are inspiring and are testament to the difference a single voice can make. So what changes are we making in our own lives? We've started deliberately supporting women's art, literature and film; spoken out against sexism; and learnt more about the importance of intersectionality in our activism. We're also starting conversations about the everyday challenges faced by women, encouraging people to reflect on their own actions and beliefs.
It's been wonderful to work on a project that has allowed us to look into our fascinating past, discovering the trailblazing Bristol women who changed our University, and our city, for the better. From entrepreneurial alum Chloe Tingle to Students' Union Chief Executive Sam Budd, our staff, students and alumni continue to help shape policy and culture today.
This November we are commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the first women being able to stand for election, with an event in the Wills Memorial Building. Baroness Shami Chakrabarti joins an expert panel of activists and historians, with interactive voting to bring our audience into the debate. In the run-up to the event, we'll be asking some of our #BristolUniWomen to contribute to this blog, discussing what changes we need, how to best achieve this, and what equality means to them.

We'd love you to join us in this conversation. Use the hashtag to tell us about your favourite #BristolUniWomen and what topics are most important to you.
We're also planning an historic surprise at our venue for the night – so make sure you don't miss out. You can book your free ticket here: https://women-and-equality.eventbrite.co.uk

The Women Who Built Bristol (University)
What does it mean to be a woman today?
Celebrating our women in the Wills Memorial Building


QPR are set to sign striker Jay Simpson from Arsenal on a year-long loan later today – while Rowan Vine will be loaned out to one of four Championship clubs interested in reviving the fortunes of the £2.5m striker.
Rangers boss Jim Magilton has decided enough's enough as far as his misfiring attack is concerned after failing to get a Championship win in four attempts.
The problem is clearly a lack of cutting edge up front after three draws and a 1-0 defeat – and Magilton hopes Simpson is the answer.
Rangers beat off the challenge of Premiership Burnley, and three other Championship clubs to land the 20-year-old because Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants to keep an eye on the progress of his young starlet.
Last season the England U17 player was loaned out to West Brom in a doomed Premiership campaign where he scored once in 13 attempts.
But Wenger didn't even consider a permanent deal for Simpson from QPR, as the Frenchman eyes another Theo Walcott in the making and a Premiership future back at The Emirates.
Rangers have been turned down everywhere they looked for strikers this week – with Leeds quoting telephone numbers for former Wealdstone hitman Jermaine Beckford.
However, Simpson has pace to burn, and has been earmarked for a partnership with Patrick Agyemang as the target man to provide the ammunition for the Arsenal youngster.
Meanwhile, Vine will have a choice of a number of Championship outfits to regain full match fitness after firing blanks both pre-season and in the five games so far – four of which have been appearances off the bench.
At the moment, there is no thought to cash in on the man signed permanently from Birmingham in January 2008, despite an horrendous double leg-break in April in the same year that effectively ruined Vine's campaign last season.

In Part I and Part II, I introduced some of the top Chinese radicals and some key examples of how they are used.
In this part, I'm going to finish off our quick tour of the components of Chinese characters that often indicate an area of meaning.
Sure, there are other radicals, but many of them are more difficult to explain in terms of how they affect the meaning of a character. Others, like 十, which is a cross and卩 (seal?) are much more abstract, and it doesn't really make that much sense to learn their meanings as components.
If you are familiar with all the ones we have covered so far, then you are doing great already!
Ok, let's get back into it.
纟means silk, and the traditional Chinese version of it (糹) originally came from a picture of pieces of silk. Many of the characters that contain it are related to silk or were originally made out of silk, such as 结 (tie) 组 (to organise) 维 (a fibre) 织 (weave) and so on.
刂 This component appears on the right hand side of characters, and it means knife. You'll find it in 划 (scratch) 刻 (carve) 刑 (punishment) 刺 (stab) and 剑 (sword) , as well as some characters that are less obviously related to knives.
弓 This one means bow. It originally came from a picture of a bow, and you'll see it in 强 (strong) 引 (draw/pull) and 弦 (string).
石 on its own means rock or stone, but you'll also often see it on the left hand side of characters like 破 (smash) 础 (foundation/base) 硬 (hard) 矿 (a mine) 碎 (smash into pieces) and 磁 (magnetic).
玉 means jade. As part of a character it is normally written as 王, and you will see it words for materials and precious objects like 珠 (pearl) 玻璃 (glass) 玛 (agate) 琢 (polish) and so on.
巾 was originally a picture of a piece of cloth hanging up. It means 'piece of cloth' and it can appear in different places within characters. You'll find it in 带 (belt) 布 (cloth) 席 (mat/seat) 币 (money/currency) 饰 (decoration) etc.
衤means clothing. It has five strokes, and there is a similar radical which has just four strokes (one less) and has a different meaning. You'll see the clothing radical in 补 (patch up) 袖 (sleeve) 裤 (trousers/pants) 衫 (shirt) 裙 (skirt) and many others.
贝 comes from a picture of a cowrie shell. It appears in some words that relate to money or wealth, like 资 (capital, resources) 费 (cost) 财 (wealth) 货 (goods) 贵 (expensive) and others.
宀 is a picture of a roof. It appears in 家 (family) 安 (safe) 容 (contain) and many other unrelated characters.
穴 is a character in its own right, which means cave or sometimes acupuncture point. It also comes up in characters like 空 (empty) 窗 (window) 窝 (nest) and so on.
门(門) means a doorway or gate. It appears in a lot of characters, like 间 (room) 闭 (shut) 阔 (wide) 闸 (sluice). However, you'll also see it in a lot of contexts that have nothing to do with this original meaning. But that's Chinese characters for you….
车(車) comes from a picture of a carriage and effectively means 'vehicle'. You'll see it in 军 (military – a war chariot with a lid on top) 转 (turn/transfer) 输 (to transport) 库 (warehouse) 轨 (track/rail) and on the bottom in 载 (to be loaded with).
疒 has three dots on the outside and means sick/diseases. It often comes up in all kinds of medical characters, like 病 (sick) 疗 (to treat) 疾 (illness) 疯 (crazy) 疼 (sore) 痒 (itch) and so on.
礻looks like one of the radicals I mentioned above but has one stroke fewer. Zoom in to have a better look, and don't get these confused. This component means something like 'altar' and you'll see it in characters that relate to local customs/religions or ceremonies, such as 福 (blessing/happiness) 礼 (ceremony) 神 (god/spirit) 社 (society) 祖 (ancestor) 祝 (express good wishes) 祥 (auspicious) and 祸 (misfortune). It is characters like this that really give you a window into traditional Chinese society!
酉 is a picture of an ancient wine vessel. You'll see it in 酒 (alcohol) 醒 (wake up/sober up) 酸 (sour/acid) 醉 (drunk) 酿 (brew) and 酬 (reward).
Ok. That's a lot of knowledge!
These three posts introducing Chinese characters are something you can keep coming back to. Don't expect to take in everything at once.

This is the DNGR collective (pronounced the DANGER or simply as it's spelled D-N-G-R). I am a Photographer, Artist, Designer and Collectible Dealer...a Maker, Builder and Creator of things. I'm here to provide cool, quality Photography, Art, T-Shirts, and more at affordable prices. My goal is to continue to grow and evolve, and to keep offering fresh, new, unique and creative stuff as often as possible.
Originally from Jersey City-New York City, now in San Diego, California, I have an extensive background in Photography, Art, Fashion...and a little modern day Treasure Hunting which led to Collectible Dealing. the DNGR brand is a brand influenced by adventure, exploration, travel, and of course everything art, photography & style...a brand about getting out, taking chances, going for it, and living life to it's fullest. Additionally, I have always been big into all things pop culture, movies, music, surf, skate, and action sports, which are influencers of the CRAMD brand (Coastal Rebels And Mainland Deviants-pronounced CRAMMED), one of the t-shirt brands under the DNGR collective.
I have had my Art and Photography featured in exhibitions, magazines and newspapers, sold in galleries and stores, on websites and to businesses, and my T-Shirts sold in various stores. Some notable work includes Art for Disney, Photography for Outdoor Delaware Magazine, T-Shirts for celebrity events, and Writing for the number one radio station in New York City. My work and services are available for personal or business use, contact me and let's talk about what I can do for you or your business.
the DNGR logo is pretty simple yet stylish. It is street art and graffiti style, the embodiment of the city as well as the beach lifestyle, and a slight throwback to the 80's. It has the feel of freedom and living on the edge, or as some may say dangerously. It represents my brand influenced by adventure, exploration, travel, and of course everything art, photography & style...a brand about getting out, taking chances, going for it, and living life to it's fullest.
The CRAMD logo started with my first and still kicking T-Shirt brand and is a combination of a few things. The left part of the logo is designed to resemble the side of a hill and mountain, as well as a combination of a Skateboard and BMX ramp, and a Ski and Snowboard slope, representing land. The right part of the logo is designed to resemble a wave forming into the letter C (for CRAMD of course), representing the sea. It represents land & sea, the mainland & the coast, adventure, yin & yang, balance, life, energy, the seasons, and all that good stuff. See how it all ties together, it's all connected. Plus it kind of looks pretty cool too, so there you go.
I am all about color but appreciate a nice, classic black and white. I started my Photography journey with strictly black and white film, and as the times changed and the world went digital, so did I. I now shoot all color digital, with the occasional black and white for old times sake. I like to experiment, play with light, play with angles, create photos that aren't there, shooting natural Photography and sometimes partly staged Photography. I shoot a lot of landscape to seascape to cityscape, nature to wildlife, to more artsy and creative shots, capturing awesome moments in time during my life's journey, sharing and offering them to the world along the way. I work in both Fine Art and Commercial Photography, Events, Note Cards and Greeting Cards, and am planning Books, Calendars, Coasters and more.
All Photography for sale as Prints, Canvases, and Note Cards with more to come, contact me for any pricing, size or custom work questions. I offer all of my images displayed in black and white also. Looking for something you don't see, contact me, I probably have it! Images as shown are for portfolio purposes, color may differ slightly than depicted, Prints purchased may be cropped to fit the size ordered, the majority of the image will be preserved but there may be some cropping to fit the size ordered.

From an early age I've been inspired by, enjoyed and admired the likes of Artists ranging from Jackson Pollock to Andy Warhol, Van Gogh to Monet, Walt Disney to Chuck Jones, Matt Groening to Stan Lee, and Tim Burton to Wes Anderson. My art style is a mix of Modern Contemporary Surreal Abstract Pop Art with Celestial and Oceanic Influences. I do a lot of acrylic and mixed media Art work on canvas, wood, and anything else that I can find to make a good pallet and canvas. I also do Graphic Design, sketching, drawing, and create original characters. For my paintings I use mostly acrylic and spray paint. I use graphic design to bring my sketches and drawings to life, mixing them with my paintings for something totally new and unique.
Artwork shown is for portfolio purposes and color may differ slightly than depicted. All of my Artwork is for sale, and I can be commissioned to do custom work. Contact me for info and to see if a piece you may want is sold or still available, if sold I can create a similar work as each piece is one of a kind, hand painted and unique.

It's in the Light of Day Thing
"self-actualizing people
have the wonderful capacity
to appreciate again and again,
freshly and naively,
the basic goods of life,
with awe, pleasure, wonder,
and even ecstasy."
A.H. Maslow, psychologist
from my little book: "Nothing is worth more than this day."
was it worth it Jussie?
this morning, this girl is just wondering, if he's wondering, if he would do it all over again?
Jussie, reportedly, made $20,000 dollars per episode, having also a net worth of about half a million dollars. And, as the story goes, this whole fake hate crime started because Jussie wanted a raise...and he decided to let his hatred for Trump fuel a dramatized attack.
It didn't take long before the Chicago Police Department put the sordid pieces together.
And how about that Jussie presser?
"I'm left hanging my head and asking why," Johnson said.
"Why would anyone, especially an African American man, use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations? How could someone look at the hatred and suffering associated with that symbol and see an opportunity to manipulate that symbol to further his own public profile? How can an individual who's been embraced by the city of Chicago turn around and slap everyone in this city in the face by making these false claims?"
"Bogus police reports cause real harm," Chicago Superintendent Eddie Johnson goes on to say (and just in case you didn't watch it, Johnson is African-American).
And so -- flash forward -- Jussie is now facing multiple felonies, possible jail time, a humongous bill from his slate of attorneys to keep him out of jail, fines from the city of Chicago, and most definitely, when it's all said and done, an uphill battle finding a new career and earning anything close to that sweet twenty grand a pop......
And on top of all that, Jussie's reputation and honor destroyed.
And not only that, a self-actualized person never would have gone down this path.
As I turn on my radio -- Rush is talking about this very topic, again and again, circling around the story, the newfound facts, the staging, the motives, and attacking this from all sides...it's just what he does, right? and boy, does he do it so well.
This morning, the Rushbo is saying that, quite possibly, that Jussie's antics may have been purely a political move -- just doing his part to wreak havoc on the Trump Administration, attacking the so-called racist, homophobe-in-Chief more than anything else. And he just may be onto something.
The Left, as a whole, has been growing more and more bold in their methods of ridicule, using harmful rhetoric and a host of organized radicals, against the opposition...nothing matters, not even the truth, as the end justifies the means. The irony about Rules for Radicals, is that, in reality, there are none.
Wasn't it just yesterday, we were talking a little about common sense....yeah yeah, Martina...sharing her opinion about transgender "women" playing against real, naturally-born women, and how unfair that was, how physically unfair.
how hilarious, this Jussie, and his clear absence of half a brain -- writing a check for the services of posing as a couple of muggers? Seriously? And oh boy, how that got a couple of laughs from the mouth of Charles Barkley...um, "America, do not write checks when you commit illegal activity!"
Thanks, Barkley...thanks for the rather twisted advice; it's just a plead to use your common sense, no harm, no foul, using Smollett's idiocy as the punch line.
Latest news, Jussie has been erased from the final five episodes. Just like that. Reminds me of how Hollywood treated Kevin Spacey...his fate, not fake.
Oh my gosh -- did you hear the news about Robert Kraft? ew...you would think, if he were to participate in the illegal act of hiring a prostitute, he would astutely and shrewdly take the higher, more private, path...perhaps finding a discreet madam in the area to make the proper connections.
Now -- for the record -- I wrote that down BEFORE Rush said it outloud --
but no matter...we're both on the same team. teehee
But omg -- Kraft has been charged with soliciting prostitution!
And a seedy place it is, too -- a long running sting has been going on, finding sex trafficking and all kinds of illegal activity.
After being at the top of the world -- having yet another Super Bowl win under his belt -- he does this to celebrate? Seriously? Did you write a check, too? To risk whatever life and reputation acquired to date with this? ...what a dumb-ass.
Not only that, a self-actualized person never would have gone down this path.
Have to ask ourselves, what was missing from their lives, to act out in such a desperate, destructive way? What did they not possess, on the inside? Apparently, for all intents and purposes, their outer persona and presentation to the world presented a living breathing lie. This Jussie and this Kraft, seem to be missing something in a pretty big way...
as in maybe, something to do with this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine....[now that's just a beautiful boy story...you must read all about it.] As in, GOD IS the Great Actualizer and Equalizer in, and around, and through, and of, this whole world, make that universe.
And if they are not missing something on the inside -- then what made them do it? What would make them think that their pair of deceptions -- both unique to their situation -- would go unseen? To think, they were thinking -- ironically, logically -- that they could secretly get away with it....
the thing is -- in the light of this new day -- it must be said, that, eventually, over time, maybe even over a couple of weeks -- the truth always rises to the top, indiscriminate of title, income, color of your skin, or net worth (with, or without, applying Maslow's hierarchy of needs, let alone a good dose of reflection and reason before acting).
Big mistakes, we all make a few.
So for a second thing, it could just be that all of us have something in our shadow; nothing like the present for a good long heart to heart with the One who Knows everything, and pray that we all get the help we need, or long for, in one way or another. And to God be the Glory.
so here we are; at the end of the day, this is simply blog 983, signing off.

High Life (2019) Movie Review
July 15, 2019 Alex Brannan	Leave a comment
Leave it to Claire Denis to make the most original science fiction film of the year. But, in doing so, Denis is sure to polarize in her pursuit of something that spits in the face of generic convention. The first thing we see in High Life is jarring, in that it is not what you would normally focus on in a sci-fi film. It is a baby crying in the sterile, metallic environment of a space ship. Over radio communication, her father Monte (Robert Pattinson) tries to soothe her softly while he works on a panel outside of the ship.
"We were scum," Monte later says, in voiceover. "Trash. Refuse that didn't fit into the system, until someone had the bright idea of recycling us." He goes on to tell the story of how he got to the present moment. He was a convict, arrested as a teenager for a violent crime that we only see flashes of. Agreeing to a government contract, he and a group of inmates are sent into space, initially with no idea that the mission is a one-way trip.
The narrative structure is dynamic. It bounces in and out of flashbacks organically, moving deliberately yet without dawdling. Information is revealed on a need-to-know basis as we are dropped into a story already in progress—it is near the end, it feels like. Sure, the voiceover monologues presenting the backstory may come off a tad clunky and novel-like, but it is written with such a precise eloquence that it is easy to overlook.
The backstory ends up encompassing most of the screentime, potentially to the film's detriment. There are many ideas floating around this plotty yet largely unexplained space mission, but viewers looking for a sci-fi experience from Denis may be disappointed. The inmate crew are en route to a black hole in order to experiment with the idea of harnessing energy there. They are also being experimented on for their fertility by the ship's doctor, Dibs (Juliette Binoche).
Neither of these plot threads are taken toward natural science fiction ends. The film ostensibly ignores the notion of science fiction in favor of an exploration of carnal human nature, the organic desires of the body and how different characters function in light of these urges. Someone looking for a tense sci-fi thriller involving inmates in space is not going to find satisfaction here, and they aren't going to get a satisfying resolution to the sci-fi plot threads, either.
But the specifics of the crew's mission is not pertinent to understanding what is on display in the film. They are attempting to harness energy from a black hole, while also experimenting with fertilization. The latter is entangled with a portion of the themes, explorations of the human condition as they relate to relationships, sex, isolation, and restraint. The former is merely a MacGuffin.
Denis is much more interested in these transient themes. They are disparate, and Denis allows them to be presented frankly without intense inspection. For a quiet meditation punctuated with the occasional outburst of sex, violence, or sexual violence, the things meditated on can come off somewhat hollow. But as an exploration of Monte's psyche, with his chaste, monk-like nature consistently challenged until he is left with nothing but a baby and his own thoughts, this is an intriguing character study.
Denis does an adept job blending the radical tone shifts. Mainly, she accomplishes this by treating both sides with a surprising tenderness. The quiet meditation and the emphatic violent outbursts are both given space to exist with a frankness that is transfixing. Denis is presenting a life of bleak seclusion and allows all sides of the psychological ramifications therein to breathe unencumbered.
This process is what forces the plot to the edges, for better and worse. But it fills the narrative with uncompromising human drives and impulses which bring out the human condition in ways rarely seen in science fiction film. The setting may be technological and sterile, as almost all science fiction presents its spacecraft settings, but the environment remains human. It is a humanity in all of its beautiful and dastardly forms.
Again, this does not necessarily lead to a satisfying resolution to anything that the plot presents to us. The character study of Monte, likewise, is not resolved in a complete way. But as an experiential trip through the arrested human psyche, which is trapped in the push-and-pull between innate impulse and rational thought, it is something completely different. And that is refreshing.
To truly enjoy High Life—unless you are an ardent fan of Denis' work, in which case you are likely on board unconditionally—concessions must be made. But the concessions are light, and the rewards are potentially profound.

One day, Heath Ledger made me smile.
Today, I have a lot to talk about.
Today, I could talk about the Oscar nominations. I could talk about how Madame Tutli-Putli is an absolute lock to win Best Animated Short. I could talk about how I'm glad the Academy agreed with me and nominated Cate Blanchett for both I'm Not There and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. I could talk about how I'm stunned that both The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Persepolis didn't make cut for Best Foreign Language Film. I could talk about how I'm happy Juno is getting the respect it deserves. I could talk about how I've seen 53 of the 58 nominated films. I could talk about how Canada was well-represented in the nominations this year. I could talk about how I expected almost every single nomination and there were very few surprises.
Instead, today I will talk about Heath Ledger. Most of you know by now that Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday afternoon. Most of you know that Heath Ledger's performance in the upcoming The Dark Knight is already being rumored as being one of the best acting performances of 2008. Most of you will acknowledge, like I do, that Ledger was probably one of the most promising actors in the film industry.
What most of you don't know is that one day, Heath Ledger made me smile.
In 2006, Ledger was in Toronto for the North American premiere of the film Candy, and I ran into him in Yorkville. Always one to speak to strangers, I told him that I thought he was a brilliant actor and that I was a huge fan. He looked back at me and replied:
"Just doing my job. I'm sure someone out there is your fan too."
At 28, Heath Ledger was much too young to die: he had enormous amounts of untapped potential. Most people will miss him because of his proven acting talent. I will miss him because he reminded me to take advantage of my own talent and potential.

Gua sha: from blotchy bruising to a beauty trend du jour | Beauty
A recurring conversation I have with a healthcare worker friend is that if you had no conscience, an easy way to make money would be to peddle innocuous but inutile items by marketing them as wellness products.
Scientific language can be so impenetrable that a few vaguely therapeutic-sounding buzzwords are often enough con people into parting with their money – in the case of alkaline water, for example, or IV vitamin drips, or vitamin supplements in general.
A beauty trend I have found equally amusing and bemusing is gua sha (刮痧), which has exploded in popularity recently – Google searches spiked worldwide last year. It has been described, incorrectly, in the New York Times as "a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves gliding a flat crystal over the meridians of your face with gentle pressure".
Videos with the hashtag #guasha have recently surpassed 1bn views on TikTok, the vast majority showing young women delicately sliding lopsided heart-shaped implements over their faces.
Sign up to receive Guardian Australia's weekend culture and lifestyle email.
Gua sha tools have become a staple in the arsenal of facial massage implements, with the added bonus of purportedly ancient authenticity. The technique has been linked, with scant scientific basis, to a myriad of benefits: smoother skin, jaw sculpting, acne reduction, wrinkle prevention.
"There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that facial massage has benefits for the skin and possibly improves some signs of ageing," says Dr Cara McDonald, a dermatologist and director of Complete Skin Specialists in Melbourne. "Unfortunately, there are not many randomised controlled trials, which are the gold standard in scientific research to give real evidence for the effectiveness of any treatment."
Perhaps more surprising than the limited evidence for efficacy is the trend's origin story: In traditional Chinese medicine, gua sha is not performed on the face.
What it instead involves is vigorously scraping the skin of the back and shoulders, a practice that causes blotchy bruising. Soup spoons and other items such as coins are commonly used to perform the technique. The results can be so visually confronting that gua sha marks have been misidentified as physical abuse.
"Gua" (刮) translates to scrape, while "sha" (痧) is a term used in traditional Chinese medicine that refers to acute disease – proponents of the technique believe it promotes blood circulation and releases "stasis" from tissues. But high-quality scientific evidence for the technique is thin, partly because it's difficult to come up with convincing placebo treatments.
One small study suggested the technique could alleviate chronic neck pain, but a research review has found "weak evidence supporting the benefits of the therapy in isolation". In Australia, the technique is not specifically regulated.
I have had gua sha done once: as the result of a near-pathological tendency to be agreeable, I accidentally assented to it during a massage without realising what it was. It felt less like self care and more like having my back mauled by a cat.
The reality is that when compared to other interventions … it's unlikely to be able to compete.
Dr Cara McDonald, dermatologist
It has been entertaining, then, to see gua sha appropriated by the wellness industry and parlayed into the skincare technique du jour. To be clear: the facial version of gua sha, which some have described as a "gentler form" of the technique, is a commercial fabrication.
A friend told me her grandma used to perform gua sha using a porcelain spoon on her back. "Certainly not on the face," she said, incredulously.
"There has certainly been an increased awareness of gua sha over the last year or two with it trending on social media," McDonald says. Many of her patients want to know whether it will help them fight the ageing process. "The reality is that when compared to other interventions available such as lasers, LED light and microcurrent devices, it's unlikely to be able to compete."
The facial technique isn't inherently harmful, even if there is little evidence for its benefits. "If you have a gua sha and enjoy using it then by all means continue to do so," McDonald says.
Facial massage more broadly can even alleviate muscular symptoms: "Firmer massage and pressure points can be used for those with significant tension in their muscles of the face, jaw and scalp," McDonald says. "Deep sweeping pressure with the palm is also good for swelling and lymphatic drainage."
"Massage devices may be useful … particularly for those who suffer with inflammation or swelling in the face," McDonald says, but she warns of "too much of a good thing. Excessive massage can cause skin inflammation or irritation and will have negative effects in sensitive skin types."
Gua sha facial tools have been around for a few years, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the mercenary genius who first realised you could sell women coloured rocks to rub on their faces by dubbing it an ancient Chinese technique.
As the result of extensive Googling, however, advertisements for gua sha implements – always in jade-like turquoise or pale pink "rose quartz" – will follow me around the internet until I die.
