Doing the 'Bramance' Right (Or Why Parks and Recreation is a Revelation)
AuthorAshleyPosted on 02/12/2015 01/06/2022 CategoriesFeminism, Movies & TV, TelevisionTagsFeature, friends, friendship, sisterhood, television
My favourite movie of all time, unequivocally, is Superbad. Do I love it because it's a hilarious big-screen introduction to Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as social outcasts who just want to get laid? Obviously. Do I love it because it features a then-mostly-unknown Emma Stone portraying a high school girl who is actually funny in her own right? Definitely. Do I love it because I have a weird Canadian Crush™ (that's a thing) on Seth Rogen and will basically watch anything with him in it? Sure. But the thing that makes Superbad my favourite go-to movie is that it so perfectly and honestly captures an awkward, platonic relationship between two best friends.
No "buddy" movie has ever so successfully embodied the relationship between me and my own best friend. The super crude jokes, witty (vulgar) repartee, the quirky but fulfilling co-dependence – Superbad has it all when it comes to me and my bestie. I am telling you all this to let you know that I, a grown-ass woman, have a friendship best exemplified by a coming-of-age tale about two horny high school boys. And I'm telling you this so that maybe the point will get across that I'm starting to get tired of these same relationships constantly being portrayed by men.
Hollywood seems to have developed an absolute fascination with the Bromance. Now, don't get me wrong—as it should be obvious from the paragraph above—I love me some bromance comedy. Seth Rogen and James Franco will win over my heart any day. But the trend means that these portrayals often become "awesome man-man friendship (that's totally not gay)" that feature women only insofar as they can be nags, bitches, love interests, or unavailable. Oh, and they definitely have to be hot.
Think about some of the biggest on-screen "bromances" of the last ten years. The Hangover (2009) and subsequent sequels feature a four-way bromance where the women are virtually non-existent for most of the film, and when they do make appearances they are either love interests or awful, awful human beings (think of Stu's girlfriend Melissa). I Love You, Man (2009) has Paul Rudd and Jason Segel making purely platonic googly eyes at each other while Rashida Jones occupies the sidelines as a loveable, but ultimately flavourless, girlfriend/fiancee figure.
Even Community, beloved baby of the Internet, has Troy and Abed whose friendship easily eclipses any of the women characters' friendships on the show. The list goes on (and on, and on, and on), including shows or movies like Scrubs, Hot Fuzz, Lord of the Rings, the Bill and Ted franchise, Jay and Silent Bob, Wayne's World, Harold and Kumar, Star Trek, Dumb and Dumber, Boston Legal, Wedding Crashers, The League, Sherlock…hopefully you're getting the picture.
I want to re-iterate here that I'm not saying any of these examples are bad and that you should feel bad for liking them; some of the greatest franchises or standalone creations of all time have featured bromances. The problem, in my opinion, simply comes from a lack of gender variety. Hollywood loves portraying the friendships between women as catty, shallow, or centered around vanity. These relationships certainly exist, but they're not the only kind of female friendship. Other examples fall into the trend of setting up the friendship off-screen and then trying to convince us that somewhere along the way, friendship ~magically~ happened (I'm looking at you, HIMYM).
Over the past couple years we've seen a few examples of broader, more genuine woman friendships emerge, or at least try to emerge. Some notable examples would be Bridesmaids (2011), Girls (2012), The Heat (2013), Orange is the New Black (2013) or Broad City (2014), and of course, the focus of this article, Parks and Recreation (2009).
Parks and Recreation is now in its seventh and final season on NBC, ending its run with a 13-episode condensed season. And though Rashida Jones' character Ann Perkins actually left partway through Season Six, her friendship with series star Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) has become the stuff of legends. The Leslie-Ann friendship has inspired YouTube montages, entire Tumblr blogs dedicated to the duo, numerous articles, websites that just list Leslie's endearments for Ann (Ann-jectives), and even some fanfiction (though I'm too scared to actually read any). In other words, Parks and Recreation created a 'bramance' between two women that easily holds its own against the plethora of available bromances.
Leslie and Ann's friendship started with a public forum about the pit at Lot 48, where Ann introduced herself and then boldly asserted "I'm a nurse and, frankly, I don't really care for politics." This simple statement set Ann up as an obvious antithesis to Leslie's unendingly ambitious, politically-driven self, and this was a burgeoning relationship that the show easily could have either forgotten or turned antagonistic. But instead, through a combination of Ann's inability to say "no" and Leslie's infectious persistence, the duo's interactions evolved into an easy friendship supported by mutual respect, lots of laughs, and tons of encouragement. Leslie is an admitted supporter of women, as she chooses to fill her office with portraits of prominent female politicians, hosts an annual "Galentine's Day" event, and even coins the phrases "uteruses before duderuses" and "ovaries before brovaries," and this same spirit of unconditional support follows her into her friendship with Ann.
Though their friendship had strong roots already in the series, the Leslie/Ann bramance became entirely unforgettable when the writers stopped telling us it was important and started showing us. One of the first defining Leslie/Ann moments for me was in a Season 2 episode, 'Telethon', where Leslie volunteers herself and much of the Parks department for Pawnee's 24-hour diabetes telethon, "Pawnee Cares". Because Leslie is a bundle of over-worked-by-choice energy on any given day, she has already been awake for 24 hours when the telethon begins. Between intermittent naps and binging on Sweetums bars, Leslie learns that Ann is thinking of breaking up with Mark. At the end of the episode, everyone goes home and despite not having slept in 48 hours and being fuelled almost 100% by high fructose corn syrup, Leslie shows up at Ann's door asking if she needs to talk about Mark (which she does). Leslie stays awake long enough to have a heart-to-heart with Ann, and then finally falls asleep and stays that way for 22 hours while Ann watches over her protectively, and also draws a moustache on her face. Friends, right?
And how could we forget the Season 4 episode "Operation Ann", when Leslie dedicated her very special Galentine's day to finding Ann a Valentine? In her own words: "Oh Ann, you beautiful spinster, I will find you love." Despite it not working out (and certainly not in a way that Leslie hoped), the very spirit of what Leslie did is what makes Leslie and Ann so sickeningly heart-warming. Or what about in Season 2, when Leslie is nervous about going on a date and Ann runs her through every possible "worst" case scenario to make her feel better? Their brand of platonic love is just incredibly enjoyable, immensely funny, and absolutely honest. Leslie and Ann's devotion to one another has continued throughout the series as they have been there for each other's big life moments: the Pawnee Harvest Festival, Leslie running for city council (and subsequently being re-called), Leslie and Ben breaking up and later getting married (it's been a whirlwind, folks), Ann (in a moment of character suicide) dating Tom, Ann and Chris's relationship and her eventual pregnancy, and of course, Ann and Chris moving to Michigan in Season 6.
As the show comes to an end, I've been reflecting more and more on what Parks and Recreation has done right and what it has done less-than-right. Despite being one of my favourite shows on TV, it's certainly had some points that are worth criticizing: Season 1 was a bit painful as the show got its sea-legs, some relationships have been unconvincing or lacklustre (Ann/Tom in particular), and some people have definitely complained about the show's absolutely unrelenting optimism and unrealistic approach to politics (not me). But the Leslie/Ann friendship is one area that Parks and Rec has consistently done right. When we say goodbye to these characters for good on February 24th with their fittingly-titled final episode "One Last Time," I'm happy to say that I can leave it behind, though somewhat tearfully, feeling like this show has done something really, really special for female friendship.

Megan Kubasch says:
Also… haha I love Superbad too… and the Boop, Boop Gif made my day.
So I absolutely love Parks & Rec, but I'm not a die-hard fan, simply because we don't have Netflix and Hulu for the simple reason that Megan would never get anything done ever again. But I have loved every episode I have seen, and Amy & Rashida are amazing in this show. (uhm… and I love that my computer wants me to correct Rashida to Dashiki….) Anyway… This post is so touching. It really makes me realize that I don't have a super close girl-friend that I can talk to about anything and have an awesome bramance. I know I'll find one some day… but until then, at least I know what I'm looking for. Also, I'm a little teary-eyed after reading this.
Ashley Valberg says:
Aw, I'm glad you were touched by my article! I've been a little teary-eyed all season as the show ends; I've just grown to love the cast so much. Thanks for your comments! 🙂
I like what they did with Park and Rec between Leslie and Ann, even if it's not my cup o' tea. And a lot of "bromance" movies do tend to revolve around frat-boy-antics. Thus, I still think Scrubs has the best bromance. No one can top JD and Turk and their wonderful nerdiness 😀
I'm also a huge Scrubs fan, and I think their bromance is one of the best examples we have. 🙂
Jonathan Rogers says:
I'm still rather new to Parks and Rec (only a little ways into Season 2, currently) but I've enjoyed it a lot in spite of being a die-hard Officephile first and foremost. I've become very, very fond of Amy Poehler thanks to this show.
On a side note, I'm honestly blindsided by you being a huge fan of Seth Rogen and James Franco, seeing as their humor often seems to play on dim-witted-frat-boy-dude-stereotypes that I'd expect you to deeply disapprove of. Huh. This isn't meant as a criticism, I'm actually glad, because I quite enjoy their films too.
Just a heads up Jon that I didn't write this post! Although I actually am OK for the most part with Seth Rogan and James Franco, with a couple exceptions 🙂
Gah! I must have totally missed looking at the author's name. Triple-whoops.

Neuronus Neuroscience Forum is an annual conference organized at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland) for young researchers from diverse subdiscplines of neuroscience. Most of the topics cover neurobiology, cognitive and affective neuroscience, as well as clinical neuroscience and neurology.

Organizers
Neuronus Forums are operated by a team of researchers from Kraków, supported by neurobiology, psychology, and medical students from the Jagiellonian University Students' Neuroscience Society "Neuronus" and the "Jagiellonian University Neurology Student Club".

Support is also provided by:
International Brain Research Organization
International Research Universities Network
Bratniak Foundation of the Jagiellonian University Students and Graduates

Structure and objectives
The conference consists of keynote lectures given by invited speakers, followed by parallel symposia dedicated to cognitive and biological aspects of neuroscience, a session with clinical neuroscience presentations, as well as numerous poster presentations. Usually, 1-2 lectures per conference edition are given by IBRO International Alumni.

As the emphasis during Neuronus Forums is mostly put on the development of young scientists, events are accompanied by sessions on career opportunities or academic writing and reviewing. A few travel grants for pre-doctoral attendees from Central and Eastern European countries are available each year.

History
Since 2008, four editions of two separate events have been organized each year. The first one, "Students' Neuroconference", has been organized by the Neuronus Students' Society and was mostly devoted to molecular and biological neuroscience. The second one, "Krakow Workshop on Psychophysiology", covers a field of cognitive neuroscience and has been organized by the Psychophysiology Laboratory of the Jagiellonian University.

The idea of merging these two conferences in 2012 has given rise to the IBRO & IRUN - featured annual event, which has taken place every year from 2012 to 2016 and in 2018.

Post-conference publications
To summarize the presentations given by the conference attendees, special issues have been published in scientific journals, such as the International Journal of Psychophysiology (2012) and Advances in Cognitive Psychology.

Chute® Mag 25 oz (.75L) is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 13.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trixabelle from Beautiful colours, solid build, no leakage I had the camelbak eddy before, and found that this version leaked a little bit after some time. Since I often toss my bottle in my handbag, my stuff would get drops on them. I nonetheless highly enjoyed using that bottle because it was the perfect size (not too big/too small) for bringing into work and travelling with and encouraged me to drink more throughout the day. I accidentally lost this bottle, so opted to buy one from the same brand albeit with a different spout, and I'm really glad I did. There is no leakage, same size, and same colour as my previous one. I'm very happy. Just make sure to twist the cap when you close it. If you forget, you'll end up spilling your water everywhere and you won't notice it immediately. I speak from experience. I got my boyfriend one in a different colour!
Rated 2 out of 5 by dandy from Not an improvement without flaws Purchased from a college bookstore online. Received yesterday, broke last night. Camelbak appears to have tried to make the lid easier to store out of the way with the magnet, however they severely compromised the integrity of the bottle top tether and thus it broke within 24 hours of receiving the bottle. The brand new bottle tether did not survive 1 drop of about 2.5 feet from a night stand. I do not believe I would take such a bottle adventuring where it could surely experience rougher scenarios.
Rated 5 out of 5 by klskben from Perfect for traveling. Fits perfectly in the side pocket of my backpack. Does not leak and keeps ice cold for hours.
Rated 3 out of 5 by nayya from It's okay. I like the bottle for what it is which is a good, durable bottle. The cap, however, is where I have my problem. I have forgotten to screw the cap closed all the way a few times and have soaked my bookbag and ruined a sketchbook in the process and has made me dislike the bottle as a result. While I can say this is my fault, it's just not meant for someone who may be as forgetful or as in a rush as I always am.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Macwarrior9 from Good bottle, large, and handy. I bought this prior to X-mas 2017, it is handy to have, easy to drink from, BUT, also easy to knock down. I wish I could change the cap to the one that is hideable, as the 20 oz eddy has. Why? Because if you knock it over like I have, and forget to close the cap, it won't drown the carpet.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ames85 from Great bottle I bought this bottle on Saturday March 16,2019. I love the bottle I take it everywhere with me, I also love the size of it. I was looking for one that did not have a straw with it. Love camelbak water bottles, but I think I just found my new favorite water bottle from camelbak.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hiwee from Decent water bottle for the price! I purchased the Sea Glass - it's less seafoam green, more blue-ish. BUT, it's still nice. It's a good water bottle and the magnetic piece works well so far. It does sweat in the heat but then again it's not insulated! I'm glad I got it. It's sturdy and I like it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by FL Mom from I'd buy it again Yep this is a great bottle. Lightweight sleek design. VERY easy to clean. Lid is easy to attach to bottle and the cap easily locks so no spills. Use it all day every day for school and seems very durable thus far, not even a scratch.

1979 San Joaquin County Bar Shooting Suspect, Arrested After Decades On The Run, Dies Awaiting Trial
By CBS13 Staff January 13, 2022 at 10:55 am
Filed Under:cold case, San Joaquin County
STOCKTON (CBS13) — The man suspected in a 1979 San Joaquin County shooting that left a local bar owner dead has died in prison before standing trial.
Joseph Rocha was shot and killed back on June 27, 1979 at was once Rocha's Club in the south area of San Joaquin County. The suspect and accomplice were reportedly asked to leave the bar due to poor behavior. But, a little while later, the pair returned and again tried to buy beer.
When the pair were refused, the suspect pulled out a gun and shot Rocha dead.
Investigators believed the suspect – Jesus Emilio Baraza Valdez – fled the country after the shooting and changed his name.
Back in December 2020, detectives learned that Valdez had returned to the US. He was soon arrested at a home in Southern California.
However, on Thursday, the sheriff's office announced that Valdez had died of natural causes while in custody at the San Joaquin County Jail. He was still awaiting trial for the homicide.
Valdez's accomplice had already been arrested, charged and convicted back in 1979. With Valdez being the only outstanding suspect, the sheriff's office says the case has now been closed with his death.

Shanghai Sports Teams
Fitness centers shape up for the modern era
December 1, 2019 February 14, 2020 - by mindfullmess
CHINA'S fitness industry has rapidly developed and has great potential for further growth.
Although a late starter by European and American standards, the steady development of the national economy and the enhancement of civic health awareness has lead to an increase in demand for fitness services.
According to the well-known fitness platform, GymSquare, though the number of people availing themselves of fitness services is far less than that of the United States, it is comparable with the number of gyms.
There are some 46,050 fitness studios in China — Shanghai has 3,556 and Beijing has 3,121.
As one of the first-tier cities in China, Shanghai's fitness industry and prospects are impressive.
GymSquare found that the fitness service industry in Shanghai is international, intelligent and humane.
Gyms in Shanghai cater for the large international community with exercise courses presented in both Chinese and English.
Brands such as Pure, Crossfit, Les Mills and outstanding domestic fitness brands Will's and ATLAS Fitness have advanced facilities and courses developed overseas.
A personal trainer at Wills, Mr Zhang, said the gym is matching international trends.
"If you don't adapt to the market, you will be eliminated," he said.
High-tech equipment is now being used.
ATLAS Fitness has Holofit, virtual reality software, that not only projects images for users but provides fitness information.
Pure Fitness's Immersive Fitness — The Trip — features a video of the outside on the screen of a cycling room.
Many netizens commented that getting fit is now a pleasant experience.
However, high-tech gyms can be expensive with annual cards costing anywhere between 3,000 to 13,000 yuan. There are also 24-hour gyms to cater for modern work practices, where patrons scan codes to enter.
These are generally smaller and less expensive than traditional gyms.
Over the past few years, the intelligent internet gym, LEKE has developed 410 stores in 8 cities, with about 6,000 coaches and 3.2 million online and offline users.
The fitness industry has also developed, changing its focus purely from gym strength to looking at lifestyles, diet, positive mindsets and a fulfilling social life.
Comprehensive cross-industry fitness clubs have sprung up across Shanghai.

Aethereal FORGE Powers up
November 3, 2004 Allan Sugarbaker Roleplaying Games
The folks at aethereal FORGE have released the Power Grrrl Worldbook, which seems like the perfect game to simulate my daughter's current fave show, Totally Spies. Besides, any game with "Grrrl" in it has got to be worth a look.
aethereal FORGE press release follows:
Go, Go Power Grrrl!
Power Grrrl Worldbook Released
Power Grrrl is the first Worldbook for the free POW! Gaming system, a quick and easy role-playing game engine from aethereal FORGE, the creators of the award-winning Ninja Burger setting. Set in the near future world of the Power Grrrl cartoon, this Worldbook allows players to easily create superheroes and superheroines on the fly so they can battle villainous adults like the insidious Madame Maple and her Canadian cronies.
POW and Power Grrrl are designed to be fast, furious and fun, whether you're playing a one-off or settling in for a longer campaign. Fans of 80s super hero cartoons and anime will feel right at home in this Worldbook, which takes a tongue-in-cheek look at those and other cliches.
POW! is a free download. POW! and Power Grrrl are available as PDF downloads on RPGNow.

Q: NullPointerException on TextView using setText() I'm rather new to android programming, and am running into my old friend the NullPointerException...
I've been on it for quite a while now, but can't figure out what is wrong.
basicly gives me a NullPointerException when I try to call any .setText() methods, maybe someone sees what I'm doing wrong here...(though i tried to follow examples as close as possible)
public class lessonView extends Activity {

TextView adressOfLecture;
TextView lecturer;
TextView lesson;

Lecture lecture;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_lesson_view);

    Bundle data = getIntent().getExtras();
    lecture = (Lecture) data.getParcelable("student");

    adressOfLecture = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lectureViewAdressLabel);
    lecturer = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lectureViewLecturerLabel);
    lesson = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lectureViewTitle);

    updateLabels();

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_lesson_view, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

private void updateLabels(){
    adressOfLecture.setText(lecture.getRoom());
    lecturer.setText(lecture.getTutor());
    lesson.setText(lecture.getName());
}

}

also, here's my xml file:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.coronarip7.app.stupla.lessonView">

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="(ort)"
    android:id="@+id/lectureViewAdressLabel"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/lectureViewTitle"
    android:layout_marginRight="86dp" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="dozent"
    android:id="@+id/lectureViewLecturerLabel"
    android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/lectureViewTitle"
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/lectureViewAdressLabel"
    android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="27dp" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/lectureViewTitle"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:text="test"
    android:textSize="40dp"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:layout_row="0"
    android:layout_column="0"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

and the logcat I'm getting:

seriously, I am out of ideas on how to fix it...

A: First check if you properly put the extra in the intent. Then I would use the following test in your onCreate method:
Intent intent = getIntent();
if (intent.hasExtra("student")){
    lecture = (Lecture) intent.getParcelableExtra("student");
}

Then test if lecture is null like Rami wrote earlier.

A: Ok guys, thanks for the suggestions, but I'll go the global route. I'll create a static version of my array (from which i wanted to pass an object via the Intent), and just pass an int[] array with the coordiantes and call it in the new view.
But thanks for the quick answers anyways!
(I'm new to stackoverflow, is there a way to mark a question as "solved", or "not-needed-to-be-solved-anymore"?)

A: Do not use static objects in your code like arrays, objects, they have globally available, you should create intent and add your data into your intent like and call your activity
Intent intent = new Intent ();
intent.putExtra ("student",value);

start activity with intent
And in your
lessonViewActivity check for intent like
Intent intent = getIntent();
if (intent.hasExtra("student")){
    lecture = (Lecture) intent.getParcelableExtra("student");
if (lecture !=null){
updateLabels ();
}
}

Dr Oz comes to Australia
PAM BROWNThe West Australian
Mon, 5 July 2010 3:30PM
As Mehmet Oz prepared to step up last week to collect a Daytime Emmy as best informative talk show host, he was being castigated in the New York Daily News for promoting quackery.
The Harvard-educated cardiologist's decision to put aside his practice and take to daytime television as Dr Oz has deeply offended some and he has been accused of becoming a pitchman for complementary therapies.
But the man who Oprah Winfrey first took under her wing on her show and then launched in a series of his own says his only aim is to put himself out of business by making people healthier.
Speaking on the eve of the launch in Australia of the Dr Oz show, he said there had come a point when he realised that operating on people to fix their hearts was not enough, they had to help themselves.
"When you spend your whole life as I have trying to help people who have hurt their hearts, there comes a certain point when you are rolling them down on the gurneys to the operating room that you realise that they are not helping you, they are not playing on your team.
"It is very disenfranchising and it strips the vitality out of what you are trying to do. I remember going home and lamenting the fact and my wife said, "If you feel so passionately about it why don't we make a show and talk to them about it?'"
Dr Oz still operates one day a week but the rest of the time he works on his show, which has an unusually high number of men in the live audience.
He said that about a third of his audience was male.
"What happens with our show is that women hear (our advice) and then when their husbands come home they talk to them about it," he said.
"As more and more men get engaged in the conversation, they then start watching the show and asking their own questions.
"If men weren't interested, when women talked to them about what I am saying it would be called nagging."
The frankness of the men in the audience who volunteer to talk to Dr Oz about their personal problems is startling. Dr Oz admits he is amazed at the things people will discuss on international television.
Dr Oz airs at 4.20pm today on W+2.
