What are some "duh" lines you have heard while pregnant?
Ex: "Wow, you're HUGE!" or "You know labor is going to hurt, right?"
Not too many in my 1st pregnancy. In 2nd pregnancy, I got "you have to be sure to still give attention to the 1st child after the baby is born so the oldest doesn't feel left out". I got this line several times, and it drove me crazy, because I am an oldest child myself (and remember my little sister coming home from hospital). So, duh, I'm well aware of the point of view of the oldest child! Other than that, I was fortunate not to get too many 'duh' lines.
It get's worse when your baby arrives too. I regularly get asked how old my boy is... "He's 17 months old..." and I keep getting this answer... "NO! Are you sure? He looks much older and bigger than that!"... YES, I AM sure... I do KNOW when I had him, that kind of pain isn't something you forget that fast!
I think for me the most horrendous one was being asked just weeks before I was due to give birth, in the middle of a shop by an old lady, extremely loudly... "Why didn't you use contraception?"

As of lately, Jordan Brand collaborations have been happening back and forth, one after another, and yet another one has arrived. 23isBack readers probably remember the "Quilted" Air Jordan 2 that was recently released in collaboration with Just Don, and now Just Don has teamed up with Jordan Brand once again to design a brand Air Jordan 1 "BHM" pair. However, the sneaker will not be hitting the shelves on any upcoming Jordan release dates 2015, rather the limited number of pairs that have been created will be auctioned off on eBay.
Jordan Brand and Just Don had also collaborated with each other back in 2011 for the release of a spotless Air Jordan 1 pair that made an exclusive eBay debut, and all the proceeds that were earned went to charity. As mentioned, they both collaborated this year once again to create the Air Jordan 2 "Quilted," which actually made a retail debut, and ended up becoming a much in demand pair.
As the name suggests, the renowned Air Jordan 1 silhouette has been used as the base for this special sneaker, which has an upper consisting of all white leather. Most of the upper is covered with graphics related to the 2015 Black History Month. This sneaker gets its finishing touches in the form of its black inner lining and gold lace tips. Considering that 2015 marks the Black History Month's 39th Anniversary, Just Don accordingly designed and created only 39 pairs of this Air Jordan 1 iteration.


Each year the event has produced a uniquely engaging, entertaining and informative breakfast, in support of mentoring more vulnerable young people nation-wide.

If you're unable to attend the event, but would still like to support vulnerable young people you can make a one-off or monthly donation.


One advantage of living in the Philippines is the access to so much seafood. One bigger advantage of going to random islands in the country is you get an idea of what the specialties are, in terms of food.
It was a worthy trip. An hour's flight, 2 vans with 3.5 hours of land travel, and another 2 hour boat ride. The transfers were quite easy actually, convenient. But the climbs for the views were exhausting. But we arrived in Isla Gigantes ready for fun and adventure. But, food first.
We got a package for the island hopping, boat rides to and from Estancia Port (in Iloilo) and it included the promise of good seafood for our meals. And Asluman, where we stayed, was the scallop capital. Their beaches were lined with scallop shells (which made it difficult to walk on). And scallops for export was the main livelihood of the people here. Some catch crabs, some get squid, some fish. But it is mostly a seafood-centric island.

California Hones Drinking Water Affordability Plan
By Brett Walton, originally published by Circle of Blue
Nearly five years ago, the California Legislature declared that the state's residents have a right to "safe, clean, affordable, and accessible water." Passage of the landmark law provoked a practical question that has always dogged the noble ideals of the right-to-water movement: how does a state government or municipal utility ensure clean and affordable water for all?
The need in California appears urgent. Water bills are a large and growing burden on the state's poor. The price of water in San Francisco increased by double digits in six of the last seven years, according to the latest national assessment by Circle of Blue. In Fresno, the state's most destitute big city, water rates rose 15 percent in the last year. San Diego water users paid more than 6 percent more for water in 2017 than the year before, a price increase much larger than the rate of inflation.
California defines affordable drinking water as no more than 2 percent of median household income. A 2013 study found that 23 percent of households in the Sacramento metropolitan region had monthly water bills that exceeded this figure.
Bit by bit, California lawmakers have chipped at the affordability problem. In 2014 they passed a water bond, approved by voters, that directs $US 260 million in grants and loans for drinking water systems. Two years ago legislators set up a process for consolidating small, financially struggling systems with larger, better managed utilities. They mapped utilities that fail water quality standards and are exploring ways to use state funds to subsidize system operations and maintenance in rural areas.
Staff members at the California Water Resources Control Board are now taking a full swing at the affordability component of the right-to-water legislation. At the direction of the Legislature, they are developing an approach that has never been attempted in the United States: a state-run financial aid program to offset the rising cost of drinking water for households.
As it fills in the details, California, along with a few other jurisdictions, is on the leading edge of the national movement for affordable water. Like Philadelphia, which, on July 1, will introduce the nation's first water rate based on household income, California is trying something new in an effort to bridge the gap between slow wage growth for the nation's poor and the huge water infrastructure bill that is coming due as century-old pipes and inadequate treatment facilities are repaired and replaced.
The development of California's program began with a public meeting last October. The state, with help from the Luskin Center for Innovation at the University of California, Los Angeles, identified four options for structuring the program. A round of public meetings that begins on June 20 will allow the public to offer recommendations.
Simple But Complex
AB 401, the law that ordered the Water Board to develop an affordability program, was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on October 9, 2015. The law outlines questions that the Water Board needs to answer. The only clear detail in the law is a definition of "low-income" as a household earning 200 percent or less of federal poverty level. At the moment, that equals $US 49,200 a year for a family of four.
What the Legislature has directed is "descriptively simple, but a highly technically complex task," Max Gomberg, the Water Resources Control Board official who is managing the effort, told Circle of Blue.
Simple in concept but complex in execution — it's an accurate description of the affordable water movement in general. The water board must determine who is eligible, how to fund the program, what level of benefits to provide, and how the benefits will be disbursed to recipients.
The Water Board contracted with UCLA's Luskin Center to run an economic analysis and help develop the options for the program structure. The board turned to the Wheeler Center at the University of California, Berkeley, for an analysis of legal obstacles. One obvious hurdle is Prop 218, which, in effect, prevents public utilities (but not investor-owned utilities) from charging higher rates on one set of customers in order to subsidize others. Prop 218 is one reason why few utilities have a low-income assistance program, Greg Pierce, senior researcher in the Luskin Center, told Circle of Blue.
The four options developed by the Luskin Center range from basic to intricate, and they are based on examples from three state energy assistance programs, which distributed nearly $US 1.9 billion in aid to households in 2015.
The Water Board's most straightforward approach is for water utilities to enroll all eligible households — those below 200 percent of the federal poverty level — in a state-run program that would provide a 20 percent bill discount. Existing aid programs would be cancelled. Estimated annual cost to the state: $US 580 million.
A second option, also an entirely state-run program, offers a tiered benefit. Households whose bills average less than $US 100 per month receive a 20 percent discount while those with larger monthly water bills receive a 35 percent discount. Estimated cost: $US 619 million.
The third and fourth options take into account existing utility aid programs. Option three allows investor-owned utilities to continue their aid programs while all public utilities would be covered by the state plan. Estimated cost: $US 488 million. Option four allows all existing aid programs to continue, as long as they deliver a minimum level of benefits. Estimated cost: $US 277 million.
Each option has arguments in favor and against, says Gomberg. In simple terms, those arguments center on the ease of administration, cost, and the delivery mechanism for the benefits. The larger question is how to pay for it, which will likely be a tax or fee.
The complexity that Gomberg spoke of comes from the various ways in which people pay for water and receive state welfare. Renters might not see their water bill, which goes to the landlord. How will aid reach them? Should the benefit be a water bill discount or a tax rebate? Or should it be appended to an existing state program, such as CalFresh, which assists with food purchases?
All told, the state is aiming for consistency, Gomberg said: "We don't want a state-run program with certain benefits and a local program that is so different that it is not fair. The equity consideration is key there."
A state program is necessary for several reasons, proponents argue. One, it would fill a gap. More than half of Californians — 56 percent — get water from a utility that does not offer low-income assistance, according to Water Board figures. The numbers are strikingly similar nationwide. A survey published this spring from the American Water Works Association, the leading water utility trade group, found that 56 percent of the 567 utilities that responded do not have rate assistance.
Water groups and social organizations praise the state's open, methodical approach. Jack Hawks, executive director of the California Water Association, which represents investor-owned utilities, told Circle of Blue that the Water Board has had "constructive dialogues" and the board sent an official to the association's spring conference to discuss the matter. The association, at this point, is not advocating for a specific scenario but Hawks said it does not want its customers to be "double-dipped" — paying into a state-run program while also contributing money to their own utility aid programs.
The Community Water Center, a leading advocate of clean drinking water in California, is still evaluating the four options, according to Jonathan Nelson, the group's policy director. But the universal coverage goal is worthwhile, he said. "We need to get access [to assistance programs] up to 100 percent, and then make sure the ability to access and navigate the program is as simple as possible," he told Circle of Blue.
The State Water Board will hold five public meetings to discuss the scenarios. The meetings will be June 20 in Riverside, June 27 in Salinas, June 28 in Oakland, July 10 in Sacramento, and July 12 in Los Angeles.
Pierce said that suggestions from meeting attendees and written comments will help UCLA and the Water Board inform and refine the options. "Where the public discussion goes will influence the second round of scenarios," he said.
The final plan for funding and implementing the program is due to the Legislature by February 1, 2018.

What Every Company in Nunavut Needs to Know About ESG
Nunavut is a territory in Canada that is rich in natural resources. The traditional way of life for the Inuit people is closely connected to the land and the animals that live on it. However, with the increasing development of the territory, there are more and more opportunities for businesses to get involved. As you consider expanding your business into Nunavut, it's important to understand how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors can affect your success. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the key things you need to know about ESG and sustainability in Nunavut!

Does ESG apply to private companies in Nunavut?
Is ESG reporting mandatory in Canada?

How is Nunavut sustainable?
Which are some of the largest gold mining companies operating in Nunavut?
Why is ESG important to private equity?
What are 3 principal ESG strategies?
Who is responsible for sustainability in a company?
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues are interrelated and companies need to consider all three when making business decisions. In Nunavut, businesses need to take into account the unique challenges that come with operating in a remote, northern environment. For example, companies need to be aware of the potential impacts of their operations on the local ecosystem and how their activities might contribute to climate change.
Companies also need to consider the social implications of their business decisions, such as whether their employees are able to access essential services like childcare or housing. And finally, businesses need to be mindful of the importance of good governance in ensuring that their operations are conducted in a responsible and transparent manner.
By taking into account all three dimensions of ESG, businesses in Nunavut can create a framework for making responsible decisions that benefit both the local community and the environment.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations have historically been relegated to the domain of public companies. However, with the rise of sustainable investing, an increasing number of private companies are also being held accountable for their ESG performance. In light of this trend, it is worth asking whether ESG considerations apply to private companies in Nunavut.
The simple answer is yes, though the extent to which ESG factors are relevant may vary depending on the specific business and sector. For example, a mining company operating in Nunavut will need to take into account the potentially adverse environmental impacts of its activities. Similarly, a company that relies on Inuit labour will need to consider both social and governance issues such as workers' rights and safety.
Ultimately, whether or not a private company in Nunavut needs to consider ESG factors depends on the specific context and business operations. However, it is clear that sustainable investing is no longer limited to public companies, and private companies would be wise to take note of this trend.
Although ESG reporting is currently voluntary in Canada, the government plans to make it mandatory by 2024. This gradual transition will give businesses time to adapt to the new requirements. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nunavut may face some challenges in implementing ESG reporting. Due to the isolated location of many communities in Nunavut, access to data and expertise can be limited.
In addition, the high cost of living in the region can make it difficult for businesses to invest in new infrastructure and technology. However, with careful planning and preparation, businesses in Nunavut can successfully implement ESG reporting. By doing so, they will not only be complying with upcoming regulations but also demonstrating their commitment to responsible business practices.

The Nunavut Securities Commission is dedicated to fostering a fair and efficient securities market in Nunavut. One way they do this is by protecting investors from unfair, misleading or fraudulent practices. They also work to promote investment opportunities in Nunavut that contribute to economic development and sustainability.
The goal is to ensure that Nunavut's securities market is a well-regulated and vibrant part of its economy and that businesses have the information they need to make sound investment decisions.
ESG is important for businesses in Nunavut because of the unique challenges that the region faces. For example, businesses need to be aware of the impact of climate change on both their operations and their customers. They also need to be prepared for the possibility of increased regulation as the government seeks to protect the environment.
In addition, businesses need to consider how they can best support the community, including through employment and training opportunities. By considering these factors, businesses can position themselves to succeed in the changing marketplace while also contributing to the well-being of Nunavut.
The mining industry plays a vital role in the economy of Nunavut, Canada. There are currently four operating mines in the territory, and the mineral sector is the largest contributor to GDP. The most significant minerals mined in Nunavut are gold, soapstone, iron ore, and diamonds.
In 2020, the value of mineral production was over $2.07 billion. Mining production provides thousands of jobs for Nunavut residents and is a major driver of economic growth. With new mines being developed, the mining industry is poised to continue making a significant contribution to the Nunavut economy for years to come.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly important factors in the mining industry. In the past, companies have been able to operate with little regard for ESG issues, but that is no longer the case. Investors are now looking at a company's ESG profile when deciding whether or not to invest, and mining companies that do not take ESG into account could find themselves at a disadvantage.
Mining companies in Nunavut need to take ESG criteria into account if they want to remain competitive. Those that fail to do so could find themselves at a significant disadvantage.
The mining industry is essential to the economy of Nunavut, providing jobs and income for residents. However, it also has a significant impact on the environment. Mining operations can damage landscapes and pollute waterways, and the use of heavy machinery can disturb native wildlife. As a result, there is a growing interest in sustainable mining practices.
There are a number of ways that companies can implement sustainability in their mining operations. One is to minimize the impact of mining on the environment by using cleaner technology and by restoring any damaged land. Another is to develop relationships with local communities and Indigenous groups to ensure that they benefit from mining activity. Finally, companies can invest in research and development to find new ways to extract minerals with minimal environmental impact.
Sustainable mining is an important goal for the future of the industry, and there are many ways that companies can work towards it. With the help of an ESG strategy, they can help to protect the environment and build positive community relations.
Sustainability has many benefits, both for businesses and society as a whole. For businesses, sustainability can lead to increased stakeholder engagement, social acceptability, and competitive advantage. Furthermore, sustainable practices can create new business opportunities and help organizations to save money.
From a societal perspective, sustainability is essential for protecting the environment and human health. It can also help to promote the exploration and conservation of natural resources and to create a more equitable world.
In short, there are many good reasons why businesses should strive for sustainability. However, it is important to keep in mind that the ESG journey needs to be tailored to the specific needs of each organization and its stakeholders. What works in one sector might not be appropriate in another. Therefore, it is important to consult with other stakeholders on a sustainability report. Only by working together can we hope to achieve sustainable growth.
The Canadian Mining Association (CMA) is committed to sustainable mining and has developed an industry-leading Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Strategy. The CMA recognizes the importance of ESG issues in the mining sector and is committed to working with its members to continuously improve their performance on these issues.
In particular, the CMA is focused on promoting sustainable development in the Nunavut region of Canada. The CMA's ESG Strategy sets out a number of ambitious goals, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving water management, and promoting social inclusion. The CMA is confident that by working together on the ESG journey, its members can make a positive difference on these important issues.
As global awareness of the importance of sustainability grows, more and more companies are beginning to incorporate sustainability principles into their operations. However, Canadian companies still have a long way to go on their ESG journey. While some leading companies have made great strides in terms of reducing their environmental impact, many others are still lagging behind.
As such, there is considerable room for improvement when it comes to Canadian companies' sustainability performance. This is especially true in Nunavut, where the demands for sustainable development are even greater. With its unique challenges and opportunities, Nunavut provides a unique proving ground for Canadian businesses to show their commitment to sustainability. As such, Canadian businesses that are able to successfully navigate the challenges of sustainable development will be well-positioned to succeed in the global market.
Nunavut is a Canadian territory located in the Arctic. It is sparsely populated, with a population of only around 40,000 people. Despite its small population, Nunavut has a large carbon footprint. In 2020, its emissions totalled 603 thousand tonnes of CO2e, 3% more than its 2005 level. Per capita, its emissions were 15.4 tonnes of CO2e, 13% less than the Canadian average.
Nunavut is one of the fastest-warming regions in the world. It is also a place that is almost entirely reliant on diesel fuel for its power; a dirty, expensive fossil fuel that emits greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air pollutants. Despite these challenges, the Government of Nunavut has committed to transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy system; one that will reduce Nunavut's reliance on diesel, improve energy security, and help protect the environment.
Already, considerable progress has been made to increase renewable energy generation in Nunavut. In 2019, the territory generated nearly 30% of its electricity from renewables, primarily hydropower, up from just 6% in 2005. The government has also set a goal to achieve 50% renewable electricity by 2025.
As part of this transition, the government is working with SMEs to help them adopt clean energy technologies and become more energy efficient. These efforts are important not only for the environment but also for the economy: by reducing Nunavut's dependence on imported diesel, businesses can save money on energy costs and become more competitive.
Businesses in Nunavut need to be aware of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in order to be sustainable. They need to consider the impact of their activities on the environment, on society, and on their own governance. Furthermore, they need to make sure that their business practices are meeting international standards for sustainability. Sustainability is important for businesses in Nunavut because it helps to protect the environment, it helps to build better relationships with communities, and it helps to improve governance. Businesses that are not sustainable will find it difficult to operate in Nunavut in the long term.
Nunavut has several operating gold mines including:
Meadowbank Agnico Eagle
Agnico Eagle Meliadine Mine
Hope Bay
ESG is important to private equity for a few reasons. First, from a financial standpoint, companies that take ESG into consideration tend to be more efficient and have better long-term prospects. This makes them more attractive investments. Additionally, private equity firms have a responsibility to their limited partners to generate good returns. Unfortunately, environmental and social issues are often overlooked in the pursuit of profit. This can lead to negative consequences down the road, such as bad publicity or even legal action. By taking ESG into account, private equity firms can avoid these pitfalls and create value for all stakeholders involved.
The three principal ESG strategies are reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving resource efficiency, and shifting to renewable energy sources.
Sustainability is often thought of as the responsibility of large corporations. However, businesses of all sizes have a role to play in creating a sustainable future. In many cases, it is the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are leading the way, innovating and implementing new sustainable practices. Sustainability is not only about reducing your environmental impact; it is also about creating social and economic value for your community. As a business owner, you have the power to make a difference. You can choose to source locally, invest in renewable energy, reduce waste, and much more. By taking action on sustainability, you can help create a brighter future for us all.

Regulators in China have finally issued the necessary paperwork that allows the Apple iPhone 4S to be sold in the country. According to MIC Gadget, earlier this week China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology signed off on the necessary network access permit. The Apple iPhone 4S has received a Radio Transmission Equipment Type Approval Certificate that will allow it to be sold in the country for three years. There should be no more obstacles in the way to prevent the phone from being launched during the Christmas and New Year's holidays.
China Unicom says it will rollout the Apple iPhone 4S later this month after it already had finished preparations to offer the phone by November. The carrier will sell the 16GB model for 4,999 Yuan ($786 USD) off-contract. Analysts are waiting to see if they need to up their estimate of Apple iPhone 4S units sold in the current quarter. If the Apple iPhone 4S is launched in China before the end of December, the estimate of 28 million units sold predicted by JP Morgan analysts will certainly be raised considering that China has the largest population in the world. At the same time, the Apple iPhone is available at 7,000 locations in the country.
China recently took over the title of the world's largest smartphone market from the U.S.and Apple CEO Tim Cook calls growth in the country "Amazing". With Apple the leading smartphone brand in China, a survey shows that the Chinese plan on buying the phone in numbers that are 4.5 times the device's current market share. The model that went through the testing by Chinese regulators is compatible with GSM, WCDMA, HSDPA / HSUPA, Bluetooth, and WAP.
While China Unicom will be offering the Apple iPhone 4S, before the death of Steve Jobs, he was in the process of trying to get the Apple iPhone on to the lineup of the world's largest carrier, China Mobile. With more than 600 million subscribers, getting the Apple iPhone 4S in front of that large an audience would be big news, even for Apple. In September, the carrier was alleged to have received a positive reply from Apple on building an iPhone to run on the carrier's TD-LTE network, although nothing has been announced. A launch is expected in 2012. Currently, 8.5 million Chinese have an Apple iPhone on China Mobile's network, but must put up with 2G speeds.

Book Review – Delusions of Gender
{ January 4, 2014 @ 2:08 am } · { Blog }
{ Tags: animal studies, Cordelia Fine, gender, neuroscience, sexism }
Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference by Cordelia Fine
In this three-part book, Cordelia Fine dissects the prevalent idea that men and women's minds are biologically different, and that these inherent differences — not the special structural exploitation of women, or deep-seated cultural expectations — explain gender inequality. It is obvious from the title and from Fine's often snarky prose where she comes down on the debate, even before you read the evidence she marshals. But given that my gut tells me that any inherent male-female mental difference is hogwash, I was curious to see whether this intuition could stand up to any scrutiny.
It can. In the first part of Delusions of Gender, Fine considers the metrices of something like, say, empathy, or scientific aptitude. Clearly responding to the famous contention of then-Harvard president Lawrence Summers that men are naturally better at science, Fine shows how academic performance can be manipulated in men and women simply by making gender — and all the cultural expectations that go along with gender — salient in a group of students' minds. Women, for instance, do worse on math tests after watching commercials of women doing stereotypically female activities, like vaccumming or doing their make-up. Men do better on empathizing tests when a reward that men are culturally expected to value — money — is offered. Even something as subtle as asking a test-taker to identify themselves as male or female can introduce what sociologists call "stereotype threat" to the results. Without these subtle reminders of what one is expected or supposed to do, men and women show remarkably similar abilities in all kinds of tests.
Interestingly, awareness of one's gender affects a person's perceived strengths and interests. So, when asked to rate their verbal and math abilities, for instance, teenage girls tend to rate themselves better at verbal and worse at math than their actual grades would suggest. Teenage boys tend to report that they are better at math and worse at verbal in just the same way. Furthermore, when someone believes they are strong in a particular skill, and that people "like them" are part of a particular academic program or industry, they are also more likely to identify an interest in that arena. All of this, as Fine says, is to illustrate the way that the human mind is context specific: a person's skills, self-perception, behavior, and interests all depend on what social identity (they perceive) is expected of them at the time.
Fine goes on to present studies of real-life marriages and businesses in which women are seemingly showing their "true selves" — in contexts that constantly tell them that traditional, stereotypical feminity is expected. Most startlingly to me were studies of housework: in male-female relationships, regardless of whether both partners work outside the home, how many hours, and how much money they make, women do more of the domestic work. This isn't, Fine argues, because women inherently care more about dirty dishes, but because the cultural wiring of gender expectations is so deep that both men and women perceive housework as feminine. When that association contradicts their consciously held beliefs about gender equality, both men and women rationalize: she does the laundry because she really enjoys it; she tucks in the kids because her brain is hard-wired to be more sensitive. In interviews with opposite-sex couples in which the female partner had left the work force to stay at home, both partners reported that this was her choice, and that the male partner would have been supportive of her either way. But when asked how she might have kept working — i.e., if he took over some household responsibilities, if he cut back on his out-of-the-home work hours — overwhelmingly, the interviewer found that the male partners had made no concrete offers to help her keep her job.
It's precisely the idea of hard-wiring that Fine turns to in the second part of the book. Neuroimaging studies have been used by pop-psychologists and single-sex educators to prove mental differences between men and women. Yet, as Fine explains, PET scans and fMRIs only show which areas of the brain are particularly active in any one moment. Researchers then compare images of a subject's brain at rest (the control) with images of the subject's brain during an activity of interest (say, listening to a sad story). These changes presume that the control image is accurate (the subject isn't overtired, sick, or thinking about the misfortunes of their best friend); that the results are reproducible with other subjects; and that the results will be the same with the same subject at a later date. Because the techonologies involved, however, are relatively new and expensive to administer, most neuroimaging studies simply don't have the statistical data to back them up. Sample sizes are small; experiments aren't repeated over and over again as they would be in other branches of science. The images also aren't easy to interpret in a clear one-to-one way between biological event (part of the brain lights up) and mental event (person is empathizing, analyzing, etc).
Furthermore, definite biological differences between men and women — such as levels of sex hormones — have not been reliably shown to cause or even correlate with mental differences, skills, or behavior. Indeed, the cultural obsession with documenting differences in men and women, Fine argues, may blind researchers and their audience to the overwhelming similarity of male and female minds. There is nothing in the universe so like a male brain as a female brain, and vice versa. And some biological differences may in fact be diverging paths to the same destination, not the biological basis for social distinction. Women, for instance, tend to have smaller bodies than men, and proportionally smaller brains. In Victorian times, this size difference was held up as definitive proof of women's lesser intelligence. Nowadays, the justification is more nuanced: men's brains tend to light up in specific areas in just one hemisphere of the brain during a task; women's brains tend to light up in both hemispheres, regardless of a task's nature. This has led to the theory that men's brains are more specialized, supposedly explaining men's superior spatial skills; women's left-right-hemisphere activity supposedly explains their better verbal skills (gender differences that, we remember from Part 1, disappear when stereotype threat is neutralized). But, when neuroimaging subjects are separated by brain size instead of by sex, researchers find that a more generalized brain response is simply part of the way smaller brains work, regardless of gender. Instead of both-hemispheres-in-use being something uniquely female, it is something characteristic of brains, male or female, on the smaller end of the size spectrum — and means nothing whatever about intelligence or skills in the real world.
Another biological difference is hormonal. Developing male fetuses experience an extra wash of testosterone at six weeks of gestation. This has been argued by some to explain the particular "systematizing" nature of male minds; but some females also experience extra exposure to testosterone in utero, a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Such girls are born with ambiguous or male genitalia, even though they are genetically female. They have not been documented to be more analytical or mathematical than other girls.
CAH girls have, however, shown a stronger preference for "male" things like trucks and sports, and less interest in "female" things like pink dresses. This, Fine argues, is likely, at least in part, the result of socialization from parents and peers, the topic to which she turns in Part 3. A parent herself of two sons, Fine takes on the notion that parents can raise their children in gender-neutral ways, and still see inherent gender differences assert themselves in a child's interests, toys, friends, skills, and ambitions. Using studies of birth announcements and expecting mothers who know — or don't know — the sex of their child, Fine argues that even progressive parents have culturally-determined expectations based on their offspring's gender. Parents express more pride in birth announcements for boys; more happiness in birth announcements for girls. Expecting mothers speak more soothingly to female babies in utero, more forcefully and in lower tones to male babies. This continues after birth, when parents spend more time "babying" their infant daughters, apparently expecting infant sons to be more independent.
Young children in fact quickly learn not only through what parents say, but what parents do — and teachers, day-carers, relatives, peers, etc, etc. Unconscious clues about what toys to play with, what colors to wear, and how to primarily identify oneself (think of all those birth announcements, "It's a Girl!") tell young children not only that gender matters, but what's expected of the members of each gender. Even if parents take herculean measures to treat their child in a gender-neutral way, to anesthize them to gender lessons in television, books, and advertizing, once a child reaches school-age, peers quickly socialize one another into doing what's appropriate for their gender. Often this can be perfectly blunt: "Boys don't wear barretts!" "Girls don't play with guns!" Studies of preschool children show, for instance, that peer pressure strongly influences their play choices. When no one is around to watch, little boys will play more with dolls; little girls will play more with fire engines. Children are also sensitive to gendered coding: when My Little Ponies were masculinized with butch haircuts and scary teeth, the boys in one study were happy to play with them. Little girls in the same study were entranced by pink guns and purple plush army helmets, suggesting that children care not so much about the content of their toys, but that they be perceived playing with the "right" toys for their gender.
Is it possible that young children are so socially sensitive? Fine leads us through a compelling thought experiment: what if it were possible to tell, before a child was born, whether it would be left-handed or right-handed. What if the child's clothing, room, and toys were color-coated: pink or purple for left-handers, blue for right-handers. What if direct forms of address, and storybooks, all used the label "left-hander" or "right-hander" to distinguish some people from others? "Go play with those other 'right-handers.'" "Good morning, 'right-handers and left-handers!'" "Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful 'left-hander…'" What if the adjectives applied to left-handers were about appearance, while right-handers were always shown doing useful work outside? You get the idea. In such a world, how could children avoid the lesson, never directly stated though it might be, that there was something fundamentally important and inherent in the difference between being a right-hander and being a left-hander?
Finally, Fine leaves us with a plea for skepticism, a plea for honesty in science and science reporting, and a plea for awareness. We may not, she argues, ever achieve a world in which there is complete equality of men and women in all industries, in all social levels, in childrearing, in respect and value. We should not, however, accept that what we currently have is as close as biologically possible.
***One final note on the animal rights front: Fine does discuss a number of animal studies in Part 2, both to show the fluidity of gender in other species, and as examples of studies that sexists use to prove the naturalness of gender. Those who know me know that, as a vegan, I don't condone animal experimentation, whatever we may or may not learn from them. To her credit, Fine explicitly notes that animal studies have an underlying contradiction:
"Working from an implicit we're-all-God's-creatures framework that we do not apply when it comes to the right to not be killed and eaten, enjoy access to education, or drive a car, there's a tendency…to assume that what goes for the rat can be readily applied to humans." [emphasis mine]
In other words, animal experimenters argue in the same breath that animals are enough like humans that experiments on them can teach us something about ourselves, and that animals are different enough from us that we can ethically do whatever we like with them.

Feed minerals for Australian dairy cattle
A balanced supply of minerals in feed is essential for animal health and production in all classes of dairy cattle. The three main minerals to consider when formulating diets for dairy cows are calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg).
Calcium during lactation
Calcium is generally the main mineral which needs to be added to the diet of lactating dairy cows in Australia. This is because milk is rich in Ca (typically 1.2–1.3 grams per litre) and most dairy cow diets are relatively low in Ca.
A cow at 100 days in milk producing 30 litres per day typically excretes about 38 grams of Ca in milk and also needs to absorb about 19 grams of Ca for essential bodily maintenance functions, bringing the total daily Ca requirement to 56 grams.
Dietary Ca from plant sources tends to be absorbed inefficiently, varying from 30 to 60% depending on feed type, so the total dietary Ca supply in the above example needs to be in the order of 150 grams per day. This equates to approximately 0.8% in feed dry matter (DM), which is within the recommended Ca level (0.8 to 1.0%) in the diet for lactating dairy cows.
Pasture typically contains 0.5 % Ca in DM (range 0.3% to 0.9%). Therefore, pasture alone does not meet Ca requirements of lactating dairy cows. Further, this Ca deficit becomes much greater as soon as cereal grains are added to the diet, as these are very low in Ca (typically less than 0.1% in DM).
Supplementation of the diet with Ca is therefore critical to maintain animal health and production. Ground limestone is normally the most cost effective source of Ca. In the above example, supplementation with 140 grams of limestone will ensure Ca requirements are fully met at a cost of 1–2 cents per cow per day.
Phosphorus and magnesium during lactation
Phosphorus and magnesium requirements of lactating dairy cows in Australia are often met by a diet of pasture and concentrates. In the example above, cow requirements for P and Mg are 75 and 40 g/day, respectively. This equates to 0.4% of DM intake for P and 0.25 to 0.3% of DM intake for Mg. These requirements are met by a diet of ryegrass (15 kg DM) and barley (5 kg) and further supplementation with these minerals will not be required.
Rumen8
Individual circumstances can vary dramatically and need to be checked regularly to ensure that mineral requirements are met at all times. This is where the computer program Rumen8 can help.
Rumen8 is a free user-friendly tool to help farmers formulate dairy cow diets which have the correct balance of energy, protein, fibre and other nutritional components for Australian dairy cows at different stages of production. Rumen8 also calculates demand and supply for Ca, P and Mg.
Rumen8 can be used by dairy farmers to regularly adjust dairy cow diets with periodic help from a nutritionist. Rumen8 can be downloaded for free.
Dry cows and transition cows
The Rumen8 program can also be used to check Ca, P and Mg requirements for dry cows (from dry‑off to four weeks before calving) and for transition cows. It is very important to get the balance of Ca, P and Mg correct for cows during these periods to minimise health problems after calving.
Ca demand is greatly reduced during the dry period, as Ca excretion in milk no longer takes place. Most forage-based diets will be able to meet Ca requirements during this time of about 0.4% of DM intake. During the dry period, P should be 0.25% of DM intake and Mg 0.3% of DM intake.
During the transition period it is very important to make sure that Ca supply is 0.4 to 0.6 % of DM intake, or 40 to 60 g/day for a cow eating 10 kg DM/day. Phosphorus should be increased to 0.25% to 0.45% of DM intake (25 to 45 g/day) and Mg should be increased to 0.4% of DM intake (40 g/day). This is to minimise the risk of milk fever and hypomagnesaemia after calving and to ensure that cows have the best preparation for their upcoming lactation.
DCAD
Another important mineral-related dietary factor, particularly around calving, is the so-called dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) value of the diet. The DCAD value of a diet is determined by the potassium and sodium content on one side of the equation versus the chloride and sulphur content on the other side of the equation. Potassium and sodium push the DCAD value up, whereas chloride and sulphur push the DCAD value down.
Cows in the last four weeks before calving need to have a diet with a DCAD value of around minus 50 (measured in milli-equivalents per kg DM). When this DCAD target is combined with the Ca, P and Mg targets described above, it minimises the risk of development of milk fever after calving.
In order to achieve a DCAD value of about minus 50 in the weeks before calving, cows need to be fed a diet low in potassium and sodium and high in chloride and sulphur. A low potassium/sodium diet generally requires cows to be removed from grazed pasture and fed a low potassium forage instead. In addition, cows often need to be supplemented with anionic salts which contain chloride and/or sulphur.
Once cows have calved, the DCAD value of the diet needs to be 200-250 milli-equivalents (mEq) per kg DM in order to minimise risk of milk fever and other health related problems
The Rumen8 program can be used to check the DCAD value of cow diets, but a feed analysis for potassium, sodium, chloride and sulphur is recommended for forages that are to be used during the transition period. This is due to the variability in potassium and sodium content of grazed and conserved pastures.
Table 1 provides recommendations for mineral levels in diets for lactating cows, dry cows and transition cows.
Table 1: Recommendations for mineral levels in diets (% in feed DM) and DCAD levels (mEq/kg DM) for lactating cows, dry cows and transition cows (last four weeks pre-calving).
Lactating cows
Far-off dry cows
Transition cows*
0.8% to 1.0%
0.25% to 0.45%
DCAD mEq/kg DM
Minus 50
In addition to the main minerals and DCAD discussed above, trace elements also need to be considered in dairy cow diets. Trace elements are named so because they are required in 'trace' amounts of milligrams per day. The main trace elements dairy cattle require are are zinc (Zn) copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), iodine (I) and cobalt (Co). These trace elements are frequently supplied in the form of a premix which can be added to concentrate at the farm or in the feed mill. Follow manufacturer recommendations for rates of inclusion.

Why 'Suicide Squad's Teaser Trailer Marketing Campaign Will Cost Them
The DC film's identity crisis campaign could hurt it
Lauren Sarner
Suicide Squad is a movie that seems to be striving to be many different things: A DC version of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, a super-villain A-Team, a Harley Quinn origin story, a Batman v Superman tie-in, and a wacky caper to lighten the dark and gritty tone that Zack Snyder has set for the universe. There's nothing inherently wrong with such ambition and scope — except that it can get really confusing for the people Warner Bros. is expecting will pay to see it.
In Suicide Squad's trailer, Rick Flagg helpfully introduces each team member. Of El Diablo, he says: "This guy burns people," and of Deadshot, he quips simply, "He shoots people." These sorts of explainers feel like olive branches to the non-gee crowd, the kinds of people who find superhero films fun but don't really care about the inevitable post-credits scene or whether they include easter-eggs.
However, secrecy around certain roles like Ike Barinholtz mysterious character and Scott Eastwood's part indicate the opposite: head nods and concessions to squad aficionados, who are desperate for every detail.
There's still nothing wrong with pandering to fans and newcomers alike — a major studio picture has to target as many demographics as possible. But it's swerved between them, schizophrenically, with little rhyme, and no reason. One poster seeks to make it a dark and gritty supervillain A-Team:
And the next would have you believe, it's for the mallrat Directioners crowd. Sure, the lollipop and pastels are for Harley Quinn — but anybody who doesn't know that can be excused from thinking this is trying to appeal to a movie studio's idea of teenage girls.
Warner Bros/DC
If I'm a teenage girl who's into comics, I'm probably nonplussed by this blatant "girls like pastels and shit, right?" poster. If I'm a dude who isn't into comics but vaguely enjoys superhero movies, I'm extra confused by the contrast. If I'm a human who doesn't fall into either category and pays only the vaguest attention to pop culture, I have no idea what this movie is and it's mixed-message posters are doing nothing to clarify.
As Game of Thrones and Deadpool both show, clever marketing is nothing to sneeze at. It can make or break the wave of enthusiasm going into a project. If Suicide Squad wants to hype itself the right way — and prove that its plot will not be incoherent — it might want to rethink throwing wildly varying posters out in a slapdash fashion.
But, then again, maybe it just wants to watch the world burn.

BREAKING NEWS: LAWWELL QUITS
CELTIC chief executive Peter Lawwell will leave the club at the end of June.
Dominic McKay will switch from his post at Scottish Rugby to take the post as his replacement.
Lawwell has decided to retire after 17 years in the role.
McKay has been with Scottish Rugby for 13 years and was promoted to chief operating officer in 2015.
Lawwell, in a report in BBC Scotland, said: "I believe the cub have identified an excellent successor with the highest integrity."
The 61-year-old former accountant has been at he helm during a time when the Glasgow club have won 29 trophies, including 13 league titles, four domestic trebles and participation in the last 16 of the Champions League on three occasions.
But the Hoops have endured a testing campaign with failure in Europe in both the Champions League and Europe Cup, a shock Netfred League Cup exit against lowly Ross County and have fallen 23 points behind in the pursuit of a historic tenth successive title.

MAIN STREET GARDNERVILLE'S VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Shannon Hickey was recently recognized by Mainstreet Gardnerville for her solid and vigilant volunteer work for the group and the community.
"Let's give a shout out this month to Shannon Hickey," urged Scott Bergan a fellow volunteer. "You will see her at every Promotion Committee meeting and event. Shannon is what we call a first-generation 'Main Streeter.' She was here from the beginning volunteering alongside her mother Laurie, beginning in 2008 at our inception. Her commitment to the Main Street community is truly appreciated in every way."
Shannon works on Main Street at "A Wildflower" floral shop and her family once owned much of what makes the district today including the Village Motel and Gardnerville Gasoline Station. She was the person who years ago suggested the "Coffin Races" as a way to expand the use of Heritage Park after the Wine Walks come to an end in the fall.
"We were looking for something affordable since we had virtually no event budget with which to work," says Bergan, "Shannon came up with the idea of doing a take-off on Virginia City's annual 'Outhouse Races' and presented her proposal to the group. The event took off and has grown each year since, as members of the community look forward to, and plan their entries for the race."
Mainstreet Gardnerville was delighted when Hickey stepped forward to assist with the organization of the Main Street Fall Fest this year. The event takes place on Oct. 5, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Heritage Park. Please contact her at moreofbrat@charter.net or call 315-0697 for more information.
