Meanwhile, Taiwan’s natural forests have had time to regenerate. The researchers concluded that the island now has enough broadleaf, conifer and cypress forests, along with natural vegetation to support the prey mammals. Not only that, but prey populations appear to be large enough to support clouded leopards. Populations of the five species most likely to serve as prey for the big cats have all declined over the past 50 years due to human encroachment on their habitats, but their numbers are still healthy enough to withstand predation.Not See Kola. The producers of a water-clear soda evidently thought it might be a fun play on words to christen its beverage with a joke name that is pronounced “Nazi.” Worse, they took it a step further and used Teutonic imagery, including an image resembling the Parteiadler, a version of the German Imperial Eagle that was the symbol of the Nazi Party, and labeling playing off popular 1930s German fonts. The soda, which supposedly tastes like Crystal Pepsi, has been on the market for a few years, and can be found on Amazon.com.
Synopsis: An elegant rant about women’s bodies and the privilege of privacy.
Choice quote: “Women cannot be sexual in certain ways without consequence. Women cannot pose nude or provocatively, whether for a lover or themselves, without consequence. We are never allowed to forget how the rules are different girls. I suppose we should be grateful for this latest reminder.”The whole thing happened the week of July 4. Although my rent had been faithfully paid throughout my entire tenancy, the owners of the town home I had been renting for the past three years had not paid their mortgage in at least a third of that time. After a series of frantic phones calls (property management company, Real Estate Commission, and the sheriff’s department), I had determined a few unfortunate things. Because the owner — knowing of this impending doom — had delayed signing my new lease, I had little to no protection. The new owners were under no obligation to rent to me. No lease, no luck.
I still had to work that week. And longstanding plans for my three children to attend a family reunion with my ex-in-laws meant I would lose another crucial day to pack, plan and allow myself a small cushion of time for general freak-outs. I got the kids ready and drove them halfway between North Carolina and Pennsylvania. By the time I got home, I was exhausted from the eight-hour trip and wanted nothing more than to curl up in a ball and slip into a temporary coma. But the real work was just beginning.
Chaos, confusion and panic attacks ensued over the next day and a half as I, along with a shifting crew of friends and family, crammed the entire contents of my three-bedroom townhouse into a 20 x 20 storage shed. I managed to pack a couple of suitcases of essentials, though looking at what I brought, I’m not sure what I could have been thinking. Fuzzy zebra shorts. A strapless bra. Every piece of jewelry I own stuffed into three giant Ziploc bags. It’s almost funny that I once believed this hodgepodge of paraphernalia would carry me through my transitional time. I figured it would be a week or two before I’d find my new place. Instead, four months has passed, and the joke has been on me ever since.
Fisher: For me, this is exactly what I always wanted to be and thought I should be doing. It’s comedy with a purpose, which is the basis of everything I’ve ever done. It was straddling the difference between my two goals: being the next Michael Moore and being the next Chelsea Handler. That’s really different, but I knew something existed that would be in between these things, and here it is. We’ve had conversations about it before as snark-comedy duo Sorry About Last Night, but I would always be like, “What is the message we are trying to say?” When you’re a comedian you have this beautiful opportunity to, without being preachy or boring, make a point.
Hutchinson: Yeah. In the back of my mind I just want to be funny, but the idea was introduced to me after doing this podcast that you can be funny and make people feel better about this area in their life that they really don’t feel good about. That’s 12,000 times more rewarding, and it’s something I never even thought could happen, that I could do. Whenever you set out to do something great it never works, but whenever you set out to do something really genuine and something that speaks to you, that’s when it works. I feel like people who are like, “We’re going to change the world!” never change the world, but if they were just like, “We’re going to be true to ourselves and really tackle things we think are important,” that’s when you take off.
But Zvonko Busic got out of jail anyway. “Croatian hijacker wins parole,” the New York Times headline read on July 20, 2008. After 32 years in a maximum-security prison, Zvonko was deported to his homeland. Julie’s long wait for her husband was over. He remained politically active until days before the Sept. 11 anniversary of his crime, when he committed suicide on September 2, 2013. He was given a hero’s funeral.Jimmy, My Spiritual Friend. Do you need spiritual guidance? For $120,000 you can buy a friend in the spirit world who communicates to you through a pendulum. Jimmy originally sold for $160,000 on Amazon but the price has been reduced, perhaps because of the poor reviews he’s getting, like “Jimmy is a dick!” and “Seemed like a pretty cool dude at first.” While these are certainly fake reviews of an imaginary friend, some buyers on Amazon think Jimmy would be a pretty sweet deal at maybe $150 or so, but for six figures you should really get a daily personal consultation with spiritualist John Edwards.
I was lying perfectly still in a lavender-scented bath, thinking about Brian slipping in bed with me in another hour, running his hand down my back until I turned around, showing me that sheepish grin and kissing me with those lips that tasted like Lucky Strikes and smelled like the night air.So, scientists believe that moths aren’t really so much attracted to the light of a flame; instead, they are actually disoriented by it. It has to do with the light source, the flame, being very close as opposed to distant, and this affects the way the moths sense it, assimilate it. Then, in this state of disorientation, they end up placing themselves in harm’s way.
More from DAME: “Are We All Becoming Hoarders?” In the last years of Imperial China, persecution was severe against Daoism because the state philosophy was Confucianism. After the Chinese Revolution under Sun Yat-sen, Daoism was regarded as a superstition in a period of rapid Westernization. But the most severe persecution of all came during the Red Guard period under Maoism, and then it really almost did disappear and its scriptures were almost suppressed entirely and would have been lost to the world of religious literature. Almost miraculously, one copy was printed and survived, and it has enabled Western scholars to appreciate better the continuing life of this religious tradition and to discover, to their real amazement, once they were able to get in touch with surviving practitioners, that the practices that were still in use did coincide with the scriptures that have been recovered. That particular part of this six-part anthology was my greatest surprise.
Christianity and Judaism I did know, I would say, fairly well; Buddhism I knew the way Americans know it, which I think is as a Zen-focused Buddhism, but that is Japanese and Japanese Buddhism is actually a later stage in this really complicated tradition. The first editor whom I recruited was Wendy Doniger; she’s the Hinduism editor, a very controversial person, but a joy to work with. I learned all kinds of things along the way from Wendy.
Going back to the Daoism section, isn’t RZA from Wu-Tang Clan in the book?
