Staying at the very beginning, persons with Massachusetts connections, please come to the aid of one who needs a new housing situation, as well as possible leads on social services and/or employment prospects.
This may sound like a broken record, but if you're in a profession where you get to regularly see the cool things other people are doing, understand that Impostor Syndrome is a thing, and that it may reach very far, indeed. It doesn't even have to be about work - women get taught a variation of Impostor Syndrome almost as soon as they start to realize what beauty standards are and how they are expected to react and conform to those standards.
So when I get in the mode that I'm "just" a curator of links, I need to remember (or be reminded) that my creative exercise is in how I present the material and my successes at getting my readers to think in new ways - which would be a great compliment when I'm not feeling like I'm doing productive things or that my essay quality or output isn't much. Also, if I get that way, I should probably make pancakes from scratch.
The idea that prominent female science fiction writers of the past would attack someone for putting out Women Destroy Science Fiction is untenable, especially once you read the words of the women in question.
And continuing in the writing theme, the little good things often have more weight than the little bad things and Mr. Hines with bullet-point advice on improving writing. If you'd like a longer series,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
hellkitty is offering a sequence of kickstarts, on topics like clustering thoughts into ideas, how much is too much, constructing good sentences, using established stories to tell new ones, untethered writing, and springboard sentences or images.
A study conducted in Europe suggests that parental affection is an important factor in determining whether or not adolescents use drugs. The headline suggests that he strict-control, no affection "authoritarian" style is ineffectove, but they distinguish between it and the effective "authoritative" style by talking about parental affection, and they do the same in contrasting the ineffective "neglectful" style and the effective "indulgent" style. Such effective parenting may be a method by which perfectionism dies not develop in children, but more research is needed.
Similarly, research suggests that talking with your partner(s) about relationships and how they are handled helps prevent separations. This particular experiment used movies as the catalyst to the discussion, so that nobody had to feel defensive or put upon.
The Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics Department reminds you that the presence of a study on a subject does not mean a universal conclusion on that subject has been reached.
A Methodist minister whose credentials were revoked after he officiated his son's wedding had had them restored on appeal, although that may not be the final word on the subject, as the appeal may be appealed.
A United States Federal District Court judge ruled that the "no-fly list" violates the constitutional rights of United States citizens because they have no method to challenge or dispute being placed on it. Not that having a list of persons not allowed to fly because of capricious reasons is illegal, but that the lack of redress is the problem.
The United States Marshals Service seized records legally requested by the ACLU pertaining to the use of a device that can spoof a cellular tower and gather significant information about any mobile phones used in its radius. The Marshal Service cited a non-disclosure agreement signed with the manufactured of the devices as the reason for the seizure. There has to be a law broken here somehow, and preferably one that can't be swept under the rug of "national security". It makes no sense how a corporate agreement can have more force than the Freedom Of Information Act request that had already been properly executed and approved. And then there's the knowledge that the Marshals service told the local police to deceive the courts about the use of the spoofing device. Now I'm really interested in what they were looking for.
Even more interesting, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled unanimously that cellular phones require warrants to be searched, subject to ordinary rules that prevent expedience in situations where evidence might be destroyed in the delay for a warrant.
Some states have built legal frameworks that allow for the incorporation of companies whose primary missions are not pure profit, allowing them to focus on other priorities without the threat of being sued by the shareholders for not being completely about profit. Since money is a measurement and an instrument of power, rather than some firm of finite resource, it makes sense to orient a company on protecting the finite resources, like people, rather than protecting the money.
Starbucks is not actually creating a scholarship for its workers, but is instead reimbursing some out of pocket costs and negotiating a steep discount of cost per credit hour with Arizona State University. So, I guess it really isn't then trying not to be evil.
The pressure to confirm to an arbitrary beauty standard leaves marks. And this sorry if thing starts early, as school dress codes assume barely pubescent women are wearing clothing with the intention of sexualization, when nothing is further than the truth. Apparently, we're all supposed to be at the mercy of all the boners out there giving their unsolicited opinions. Or constantly being pressured to be sexual, instead of letting each person approach their sexuality in the way that makes sense to them. Instead, let's cheer on comics heroes that are unafraid to be women. And celebrate the idea behind Before You Were Hot, even if the execution thereof doesn't quite ring all the bells in sequence for me.
The alternative is to have more columnists justifiably aggravated at people blithely placing the responsibility of avoiding sexual assault on the victims. Or having people be amazed at the presence of a graveyard for sex workers and other people considered "disgraced".
Pictures of love and surprise at the first sight of a partner at their wedding.
In their pursuit of keeping it alive, many Japanese businesses have skillfully replicated and improved upon products of the American past. So much so, that if you want to go retro, you're probably getting it from a Japanese-owned business. But be aware - that thing that you might find exotic and chill could very well be someone else's albatross, because others see them differently than you do. Not that this is the first time someone is mining culture to make a profit - drug companies want to manipulate your perception of what constitutes an illness, so that you will buy their product.
Video devices can, when equipped with an algorithm, correctly guess a numeric passcode with excellent results, because they can basically figure out where your passcode keypad is and extrapolate the numbers based on the analysis of various shadows.
Those who allow their trademark to be eroded slightly in exchange for having their trademark become the generic term trend to fare better than those who insist on protecting their mark, add this article about the Xerox Corporation's successful campaign to stop people from using their name as a generic has proven.
Certain versions of the OpenSSL security implementation are vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack that can trick both ends of the communication into using weak security, if both ends of the communication are running vulnerable OpenSSL. A fix has been released, so it's update time again.
The PF Chang restaurant security breach likely stretches back to September 2013, which is almost a year's worth of possible fraud, card selling, and other account abuse possible from dining at a particular restaurant. Additionally, a large data breach occurred through the use of compromised remote administration tools for point if sale terminals at car washes.
An app aims to avert panic attacks by having minigames timed to breathing exercises available for mobile platforms. Another person suggests that looking at the world through the camera lens of a smartphone may be a useful meditation on being present in the now.
Aside from English and Spanish, seeing the most spoken language in your state can be quite interesting.
Very pretty cosplay from people who racist nerds think shouldn't be able to cosplay.
Ethical behavior is influenced by energy level, which is related to time of day, so people operating in the opposite realm of their preferred times tend to be less ethical, according to the authors of a study.
Last for this post, the differences in visual technique with regard to Western comics and Japanese comics, the baby stolen by the Goblin King in Labyrinth premiered his own puppet-driven short and a book that has butterflies fluttering forth from the pages.
