This…also, the fact that they invented an extremely sympathetic character(in a story with very few of those), Talisa Stark, whose only function was apparently to be stabbed repeatedly in her pregnant womb.I just read an absurd article alleging that the Daenerys storyline on Game of Thrones is racist.
Even if we’re pretending the white saviour trope isn’t inherently racist (and it is), this is certainly problematic.

“He woke about 10 o’clock, an hour or more after Stanislaus had breakfast and left the house. Nora gave him coffee and rolls in bed, and he lay there, as Eileen [his sister] described him, “smothered in his own thoughts” until about 11 o’clock. Sometimes his Polish tailor called, and would sit discoursing on the edge of the bed while Joyce listened and nodded. About eleven he rose, shaved, and sat down at the piano (which he was buying slowly and perilously on the installment plan). As often as not his singing and playing were interrupted by the arrival of a bill collector. Joyce was notified and asked what was to be done. “Let them all come in,” he would say resignedly, as if an army were at the door. The collector would come in, dun him with small success, then be skillfully steered off into a discussion of music or politics.”
In honor of Bloomsday, James Joyce’s daily routine. (via explore-blog)
How to refuse showing I.D. during police harassment
That is how you do it. You see, they ASK you for your ID. There’s a difference between asking and demanding. Any cop is welcome to ask for your ID, but keep in mind you are not obligated to provide him with identification unless he’s detaining you. In order to detain you, he must have “articulable facts that would indicate to a reasonable person that a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed”. He needs these facts to force you to present ID. Without them, you are free to resist.
It’s the camaraderie that keeps us all going.

The Secret Life of a Domestic Feline. [Click images to enlarge.]
Ever wonder what your kitty is up to when roaming the neighbourhood outside? Now you can get a good idea thanks to a team from BBC Two’s Horizon program that collaborated with the Royal Veterinary College and armed dozens of feline-friends with GPS tracking devices and micro-cameras to dually record their daily activities.
“Meet Ginger, Chip, Sooty, Orlando, Hermie, Phoebe, Deebee, Kato, Coco and Rosie. They are 10 of the 50 cats studied in the village of Shamley Green, Surrey, for Horizon’s programme The Secret Life of the Cat.
As part of one of the largest ever research projects into domestic cat behaviour, the Horizon team - aided by the Royal Veterinary College and Lincoln and Bristol Universities - tracked dozens of cats over several 24-hour periods using specially-designed collar GPS devices and tiny “cat cams”.
The result? Scientists discovered the cats appeared to timeshare territory to avoid confrontation with neighbouring felines and visit each others houses. However, the cat cam footage also revealed squabbles over territory remained. There was also an incident with a fox and with a nest of fledglings.” [x]

Roaming: Roams almost 200m (more than 600ft) from home and covers an area of about 0.3 hectares (0.7 acres)
Prey: Brings frogs, toads, birds or small mammals home most daysExpert view: “Ginger’s roaming is pretty average in terms of range or distance from home. However, on one of the days he was tracked he was more active than any of the other cats,” say researchers.
2. Chip
Name: Chip
Age: One to four years Sex: Male
Breed/colour: Short-haired black and white moggie
Character: Active and stubborn, but also friendly, tolerant and trainable

“BBC Two is airing a documentary on June 13, 2013 about the project. The scientists involved plan to publish a formal paper about their work in the future, Wilson wrote.” [x] If you missed the air-date you can watch here on the BBC iPlayer. Be forewarned that those living outside of the UK aren’t able to view the videos as of yet.

Window Socket - Kyuho Song & Boa Oh
So this is an absolutley brilliant idea! Just attach the plug on to a window and it will harness solar energy. A small converter will convert it into electricity which can be freely used as a plug when you are in the car, on a plane or outside.
Love this design and I really think it has a great potential.
