WHO'S GOT THEIR EYES CLOSED ON THIS ONE?

Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem in the workplace. It can take the form of unwanted advances, requests for sexual favors, inappropriate touching, or sexual innuendos and jokes. You may be discriminated against or treated unfairly because of your gender. Sometimes sexual harassment is so severe or pervasive that it creates a hostile, abusive work environment for the employee – which can detrimentally affect your performance at work and even hurt your chances for a promotion.    Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem in the workplace.
Quid Pro Quo
Quid Pro Quo is Latin for “something for another.” This type of harassment occurs when a person in a position of power demands sexual favors in exchange for job advancement or for the employee keeping her/his position within the company. While being the easiest to prove, it is less common.
The practice of sexual harassment is centuries old—at least, if we define
sexual harassment as unwanted sexual relations imposed by superiors on sub-
ordinates at work. For example, sexual coercion was an entrenched feature of
chattel slavery endured by African-American women without protection of
law.

While there were crucial differences in the situation of free women em-
ployed in domestic service, they, too, commonly faced sexual advances by men
of the households in which they worked.

Surviving accounts of women em-
ployed in manufacturing and clerical positions in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries also point to a variety of contexts in which men imposed
sexual relations—ranging from assault to all manner of unwanted physical or
verbal advances—on women who worked for them.
 SEXUAL HARASSMENT CAN AND DOES PREVAIL IN MARRIAGES. JUST BECAUSE YOUR MARRIED DID YOU GIVE THEM THE RIGHT? OR MAYBE THE QUESTION SHOULD BE....WHEN YOU GET MARRIED DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT ???

THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF IT!!...

"Circumcision is based on men’s domination of women. By this procedure, the child is separated from his mother who does not have any authority on him any longer. This harms the child, for at this stage he needs his mother most and she cannot defend him, in spite of the fact that they are attached to one another at this early age. The knife that is pointed to the child is in fact pointed to the heart and soul of the mother. Circumcision is actually an injury to the mother; it is humiliating to her since it implies that ‘Your authority over males is limited; moreover, this child belongs to the male community.’ In this manner, the relationship between man and woman is disturbed and similarly the relationship between mother and child. The child’s separation from the mother is a preparation for his separation from her when he is recruited by the army." (Aldeeb Abu-Sahlieh, 2000)                 That is why some scholars of Judaism doubt the historical origin of the events that took place in the Old Testament. Abu-Sahlieh said that circumcision goes back further than the Old Testament because historical documents were found that proved that circumcision was a procedure carried out in Ancient Syria in the 28th century B.C. and in Ancient Egypt in the 23rd century B.C. In the latter, it was not carried out on all Egyptians but only on the priests. This is proved by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who forbid this procedure on everyone in the 2nd century A.D,, but he exempted the Egyptian priests.

The Jews used circumcision politically over the years. It was a procedure that was carried out on a relative basis and not done on everyone. Historians state that this procedure was not obligatory to Jews except after their return from exile in the 6th century B.C. A group of Jews made an agreement with surrounding nations in the 2nd century B.C. They stopped observing circumcision, and hid the signs of the procedure by pulling down the skin of the penis to cover its head. They could do so because in ancient times circumcision did not include a complete amputation of the prepuce, as is the case now. It was the outer layer that was cut only. The anti-circumcision trend appeared again in the 2nd century A.D. The rabbis, though, created a new way of circumcision by amputating the two layers of the prepuce as a counter reaction to the mentioned trend. Moreover, in 1842, a group of German Jews questioned the obligatory imposition of circumcision; but they retreated under pressure of conservative Jewish clergy. 

Circumcision Was in Egypt Before Hebrews
Also, as shown on left, the procedure that was practiced in ancient times is nowhere near as intrusive as it is today, i.e. the very rim of the prepuce being cut, versus the full prepuce being removed in today's procedures. The ancient Jews understood the procedure to be symbolic, not an actual surgical procedure, ergo they did something symbolic and not a fully invasive surgical removal which could lead to tremendous complications, to the point of losing one's life or being horribly disfigured.  Furthermore, there are countless passages in the same Old Testament, predating the story of the Abraham circumcision that commands all Jews to never harm the body, in fact it is in no less than 3 of the 10 commandments .   Milah: Symbolic Circumcision of Covenant
The original Biblical circumcision of Abraham's time was a relatively minor ritual circumcision procedure in which only the redundant end of the foreskin extending beyond the tip of the glans was removed. This was called "Milah". It is from this term that the Jewish Religious Covenant circumcision ritual Bris Milah or Brith Milah got its name.    This type circumcision continued throughout the ages and during the time of Christ. The circumcision of Christ would have been this type circumcision as referred to in the bible. Indeed, biblical reference to circumcision is strictly this form of circumcision. It continued into the New Testament. It has been argued that Michelangelo's David should show David as Circumcised. Interestingly, Michelangelo presented David precisely as he should have appeared following an infant "Milah" circumcision. His glans is essentially covered with only the tip of the glans showing.
Changes to the Ritual Circumcision Procedure:
No other feature was added to the religious ritual until about 140 AD when a second step to the ritual circumcision procedure was introduced.
Periah: The laying bare of the glans
After performing "milah", the cutting back of the end of the infant's foreskin, a second step, periah was then performed. Periah consists of tearing and stripping back the remaining inner mucosal lining of the foreskin from the glans and then, by use of a sharp finger nail or implement, removing all of the inner mucosal tissue, including the excising and removal of the frenulum from the underside of the glans. The objective was to insure that no part of the remaining penile skin would rest against the glans corona. If any shreds of the mucosal foreskin tissue remained, or rejoined to the underside of the glans, the child was to be re-circumcised.  
 By introducing the painful and debilitating "Periah" they would obliterate the foreskin completely such that proper circumcised Jew could not disguise "the seal of the covenant". From this point in Jewish history, the male's glans is directly affected by the circumcision procedure, and the denuded glans and traumatized infant will heal with considerable nerve damage and loss of sensitivity. Again, it is important to note that this is not the Covenant circumcision of Abraham defined in the Bible.   Metzitzeh: (Mezzizza/Mizizah) The sucking of blood from the wound.
During the Talmudic period (500-625 A.D.), a third step was added to the Orthodox circumcision ritual. It was not universally adopted by all Jewish groups, but became a practice of the more Orthodox groups. This third step was called "Metzitzah". During "Metzitzah", the mohel takes the now badly bleeding penis into his mouth and sucks the blood from the wounded pant. This was most probably adopted to collapse the major blood vessels to stem bleeding and to extract any induced bacteria from the wound and blood system. In effect, it often introduced infection, such as tuberculosis and venereal diseases, with very serious and tragic consequence, as reported throughout history. More modern day mohels use a glass tube placed over the infant's penis for suction of the blood when performing metzitzah. In many Jewish ritual circumcisions this step of Metzitzah has been eliminated.     Routine Infant Circumcision was introduced during the late 1800's and throughout the 1900's on the pretext that it offered health and hygiene benefits, would stop the habit of masturbation, and proffered an endless list of presumed cures for a variety of ailments and diseases. As mother's opted to use physicians to give birth in hospitals or clinics, rather than using a midwife for home birth, the practice of routine circumcision of male infants blossomed and became nearly universal.

EVERYTHING BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE MOON,,, MAY DAY!!! MAY DAY!!!

   
May 9, 2013: Annular eclipse of the Sun. This eclipse on May 9–10 will not be visible from North America. Hawaiians will be able to view a partial eclipse on May 9 between 2:25 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. HAST. The eclipse will be visible from the central Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, and Indonesia.
May 24, 2013: Penumbral eclipse of the Moon. This lunar eclipse on May 24–25 will be fully visible from North America (except for Alaska) but not visible from Hawaii. The eclipse starts on May 24 at 11:43 P.M. EDT and ends on May 25 at 12:37 A.M. EDT. Note that the penumbral magnitude of this eclipse is only 0.041! The Moon is just barely grazing Earth’s shadow, making this a rather pathetic “eclipse.”  BUT WE KNOW THAT THE PLANETS INFLUENCE SEISMIC ACTIVITY ON EARTH. THERE HAS BEEN 2 VOLCANOES ERUPT IN THE LAST 48 HRS. ONE IN THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS OFF THE COAST OF ANCHORAGE. THE OTHER IN CHILI. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND KEEP REACHING FOR THE STARS..
Unpredictability is at the heart of eclipse lore. For the ancients, a lunar eclipse was a haunting event. Some believed a dragon of the sky was eating the moon, flooding it with blood before consuming it entirely. Of course it always came back, and that fueled  more speculation.                                                                                                                                              The Ge' are among the Amazonian tribes of Brazil. They also believe that eclipses are a result of a fight between Sun and Moon. They say the eye of the Sun or Moon is pierced by a small boy who shoots them with an arrow. The wound bleeds symbolized by the Moon turning reddish and dimming. A shaman removes the arrow and the wound heals. Hupa Indians of northern California believes that..
The Moon is a man who has twenty wives and a house full of pets consisting of mountain lions, bears and snakes. To feed his pets, the man goes out to hunt. After the hunt he carries all the game back to his house for his pets, but they are not satisfied with what he has brought them. In anger, the pets attack the man, who begins to bleed. This is represented by the Moon turning a reddish colour during a lunar eclipse. One of the Moon's wives is Frog and when she sees the predicament her husband is in, she rushes to help him. Frog beats away the pets. Then she and the other wives collect up the Moon's blood and he can then recover.  
Vikings
Skoll the wolf who shall scare the Moon
Till he flies to the Wood-of-Woe:
Hati the wolf, Hridvitnir's kin,
Who shall pursue the Sun.
              Grimnismal, The Elder Edda
The Vikings tell a tale about two wolves who wish to eat the Sun and Moon. Skoll (repulsion) goes after the Sun and Hati, running ahead of the Sun, goes after the Moon. When either are caught, there is an eclipse. When this happens, the people on Earth rush to rescue the Sun or Moon by making as much noise as they can in hopes of scaring off the wolves.
Serrano Indians
The Serrano Indians of California believe an eclipse is the spirits of the dead trying to eat the Sun or Moon. So during an eclipse, the shamans and ceremonial assistants sing and dance to appease the dead spirits while everyone else shouts to try and scare the spirits away. Meanwhile, everyone avoids eating food with the idea that it would starve the spirits out.
  The Babylonians believed that the Moon being hidden was a harbinger of doom for some place in the world. They studied what quadrant of the Moon seemed to be eclipsed the most. They believed that they would see the most damage from the Gods and people in that part of the world should be careful. Soothsayers would offer predictions based on the readings of the Moon, and use them to determine what course of action should be taken.
The Bible says that when the Moon turns red, that the Apocalypse will come. A lot of cultures identify the eclipse with some sort of world ending calamity or impending doom. Just like a comet, or any other misunderstood astronomical occurrence, it was common to assume that the world was coming to an end. Eclipses as a force of God also influenced the Greeks, and they also helped Columbus convince the natives of Jamaica to help him before he starved.
Every culture had its own superstitions, and stories regarding the eclipses. As we gain more knowledge of eclipses, some of the old traditions stick around just for fun. People in Japan and India still will bang pots, and shoot guns, but just out of tradition, not out of the hopes of ending the eclipse. Eclipses are more fun when they are festive, and as long as traditions stick around, lunar eclipses will always be a party for sure.    BUT LET'S BE SAFE OUT THERE ... NOWADAYS SHOOTINGS OF WEAPONS IN THE AIR KILL PEOPLE !!  AND WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN  !!

NANOTECHNOLOGY TAKES SEX TO THE QUANTUM LEVEL....

Nanotechnology i­s so new, no one is really sure what will come of it. Even so, predictions range from the ability to reproduce things like diamonds and food to the world being devoured by self-replicating nanorobots.    
 So what exactly is nanotechnology? One of the problems facing nanotechnology is the confusion about its definition. Most definitions revolve around the study and control of phenomena and materials at length scales below 100 nm and quite often they make a comparison with a human hair, which is about 80,000 nm wide.            
   Scientists currently debate the future implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as any new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials,[5] and their potential effects on global economics, as well as speculation about various doomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governments on whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted.
    
Nanotechnology has finally made its way into the bedroom, with a new type of condom that uses nanoscale silver foam.
The condom for women, made by a Chinese company called Blue Cross, uses "introduced American scientific research achievement and advanced technology of nanometer-silver and physical foaming".
The "double-barrier technology, white and fine foam" is sprayed internally "to bring the effects of integration of conception control, antibiosis and lubrication into a whole." No pun intended, we're sure.
Every condom has a silver lining
The "formulated condom concentrate" contains polyvinyl alcohol resin and nano-silver, the antibacterial material that is increasingly found in air conditioners, washing machines and baby bottles.
However, there has been concern that nano-scale silver particles may get into the water supply and potentially disrupt benign bacteria at water treatment plants.
The Blue Cross website is silent on whether the foam condom has been approved by any recognised consumer safety or reproductive health organisations, but you shouldn't worry too much about that, as there's no indication where you can buy the contraceptive anyway.
If the idea of a foam condom isn't dissuasive enough, its mode of operation might tip the balance: it needs to be used no more than five minutes before sex. And then again immediately afterwards.


Instead of taking a pill at some indeterminate time before one might be offered some sex the Viagra sheets are of course on your bed. So that you automatically start to get dosed with it when you actually go to bed with someone.
Spanish genius Pep Torres, 44, has used nanotechnology to infuse the sex drug’s arousing ingredient into the fibers of a bed sheet. When people get into bed the viagra soaks into their skin and gets into the bloodstream – which could reek havoc if you were hoping for an early night. Pep said: “It started as a joke after we saw a German study that said businessmen get little sex because they are too tired from work."  SEX BETWEEN THE SHEETS HAS A WHOLE NEW MEANING!!

THE WOMEN BEHIND THE GOLD RUSH...WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD!!



As word of the gold rush spread so did the word of opportunities for women to work in the women poor gold fields and communities. Women going to California to rejoin their families usually had their passages paid for by miners or businessmen who had decided to make California their new home. Most of the male Argonauts had originally planned on getting their gold and returning home to rejoin their families and enjoy their new riches.[1] Typically women euphemistically labeled as entertainers had little or no money for passage but as soon as they showed up in California they were hired by various saloons, gambling halls, dance halls, peep shows and/or brothels. The cost of passage was typically paid for by the entertainer agreeing to work for the payees for at least three to six months. These ’’entertainers’’ initially were the majority of the female population.[2] Very few of these ’’entertainers’’ made the five- to six-month trip by wagon on the California Trail or chose the five- to seven-month all sea journeyWomen flooded to California from several countries and cities to work as prostitutes and entertainers to capitalize on the scarcity of women. Most had worked as prostitutes or entertainers in some other city before going to California.entertainers and worked in saloons, gambling halls, dance halls, peep shows or brothels. Many came to take advantage of the possibility of getting married to a prosperous miner or businessman and getting out of the business. Many of them did. Others became mistresses to high rolling customers who could afford to keep them in the style they desired. In the early 1850s women were so scare that prostitutes were not typically viewed by most as immoral,[citation needed] and many were in fact highly desired and their company actively sought. Initially there were virtually no laws prohibiting or trying to regulate or control prostitution. Then as now the often flamboyant fashion styles set by many prostitutes was copied by other women.  The sudden massive influx into a remote area overwhelmed the state infrastructure, which in most places didn't even exist. Miners lived in tents, wood shanties, wagons, or deck cabins removed from abandoned ships.[59] Wherever gold was discovered, hundreds of miners would collaborate to put up a camp and stake their claims. With names like Rough and Ready and Hangtown (Placerville, California), each camp often had its own saloon, dance hall, and gambling house and Brothel.  Rough and Ready is a census-designated place in Nevada County,  California, United States. It is located west of Grass Valley, California, approximately 62 miles from Sacramento. The population was 963 at the 2010 census...   
Rough and Ready is the only mining town to have "seceded" from the Union and then voted itself back in.[6] Populated mostly by miners from the state of Wisconsin, the town hoped to rid itself of a recently-introduced tax on new mining claims and the prohibition of alcohol in Nevada County. Residents were also frustrated that the US Postal Service was demanding they change the name of the town to either "Rough" or "Ready", but not both. Another incentive for secession is found in the legend of a local con man. The con man would wager with miners that if he was able to prospect a certain amount of gold from their claims, he would pay them far more than their claim was worth. He would prospect until he had slightly less than the amount of gold needed to make good on his wager, then quit and keep the gold. Since he technically hadn't committed a crime, the courts were unable to prosecute him. It was decided in a town meeting in April 1850 to draw up articles of secession, forming the "Great Republic of Rough and Ready" (and according to legend, the con man was immediately hanged). Less than three months later, when preparing for an Independence Day celebration, community members realized that they were no longer entitled to celebrate US independence, and the secession was rescinded by popular vote.

A LOOK BACK AT 50 YEARS OF BAD ASS CARS...1964 TO 2014.

1964  LINCOLN
The wheelbase was stretched 3 in (76 mm) in 1964 to improve the ride[28] and add rear-seat legroom, while the roofline was squared off at the same time. The dash was also redesigned, doing away with the pod concept. Flat window glass was for additional interior space. The gas tank access door, which had been concealed at the rear of the car in the rear grille, was now placed on the driver's side rear quarter panel. The exterior "Continental" script was changed and the rear grille replaced by a simple horizontally elongated Continental star on the rear deck lid. 36,297 were sold that year.[29]
The convex 1962–1964 grille was replaced by a flatter, squared-off one for 1965. The car was given front disc brakes to improve stopping distances. For the first time, parking lamps and front turn signals were integrated into the front quarter panels instead of the bumper. Taillights were fitted with a ribbed chrome grille on each side. With the facelift, sales improved about 10%, to 40,180 units.[30] An oil pressure gauge was added.[15] Front seat belts with retractors were now standard.

2014 LINCOLN

SUNROOFS HAVE COME A LONG WAY...



1964 CORVETTEThe 1963 Sting Ray production car's lineage can be traced to two separate GM projects: the Q-Corvette, ­and perhaps more directly, Mitchell's racing Stingray. The Q-Corvette, initiated in 1957, envisioned a smaller, more advanced Corvette as a coupe-only model, boasting a rear transaxle, independent rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes, with the rear brakes mounted inboard. Exterior styling was purposeful, with peaked fenders, a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail
2014 CORVETTE
1964 MUSTANG
2014 MUSTANG
1964 SHELBY COBRAThe first 75 Cobra Mark I (including the prototype) were fitted with the 260 cu in (4.3 L).[5] The remaining 51 Mark I model were fitted with a larger version of the Windsor Ford engine, the 289 cu in (4.7 L) V8. In late 1962 Alan Turner, AC's chief engineer completed a major design change of the car's front end and was able to fit it with rack and pinion steering while still using transverse leaf spring suspension. The new car entered production in early 1963 and was designated Mark II. The steering rack was borrowed from the MGB while the new steering column came from the VW Beetle. About 528 Mark II Cobras were produced to the summer of 1965 (the last US-bound Mark II was produced in November 1964)



1964 CHRYSLER TURBINEThe Chrysler Turbine Car was the first and only consumer test ever conducted of gas turbine-powered cars. Of the total 55 units built (5 prototypes and 50 "production" cars), most were scrapped at the end of a trial period, with only nine remaining in museums and private collections. Though Chrysler's turbine engine project was terminated in 1977, the Turbine Car was the high point of a three decade project to perfect the engine for practical use

1964 PONTIAC G.T.O.

The Pontiac GTO is an American automobile built by Pontiac Division of General Motors from 1964 to 1974 and by GM subsidiary Holden in Australia from 2004 to 2006. It was a muscle car classic of the 1960s and 1970s. From 1964 until midway through 1973 it was closely related to the Pontiac Tempest/LeMans and for the 1974 model year it was based on the Pontiac Ventura. The 21st century GTO is essentially a left-hand drive conversion of the Holden Monaro, itself a coupé variant of the Holden Commodore
2014 ROLLS

1964 ROLLSThe Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was the core model of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars range from April 1955 until March 1966. It replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J. P. Blatchley design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation the Bentley S1 is very similar, apart from its radiator grille.
                                                      


JAMES BONDS 1964 ASTON MARTINThe Aston Martin DB5 is a luxury grand tourer that was made by Aston Martin and designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. Released in 1963, it was an evolution of the final series of DB4. The DB series was named honouring David Brown (the head of Aston Martin from 1947–1972). The DB5 is famous for being the first and most recognised cinematic James Bond car, first appearing in Goldfinger (1964).
