Unreceptive females, including those that have already mated or are the wrong species will signal that they are unavailable by spreading their wings and raising their abdomen high, making coupling impossible.
Males mate numerous times during their short lives. Most females mate only once.
A typical female butterfly will lay about 100 eggs in her lifetime.
Feb. 17, 2016. Burlington, MA.
Protest at the administrative offices of Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Burlington, MA to demand a moratorium on deportations and ICE’s rejection of the applications for 287(g) agreements from the Sheriff Departments of Essex and Plymouth counties. If signed, organizers believe the agreement would increase the number of immigrant families being destroyed by deportation.
According to organizers between 2005 and 2010, 87% of cases involving undocumented immigrants with U.S. citizen children ended in deportation. Of all children in U.S. public schools, 6.9% are children of undocumented parents and 82% of those children are U.S. citizens. The Congressional mandate that sets a bed quota requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain 34,000 undocumented immigrants on any given night fuels the destruction of immigrant families. ICE is the only law enforcement agency that is subject to a national quota system for incarceration.

Students Against Death Penalty (SADP) is a group of students, .

formed in the context of the rejection of mercy petitions of Perarivalan, .
Murugan, Santhan, Afzal Guru (recommended by Home Ministry), .
. Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar and Mahendranath Das. The SADP has .
stood in solidarfty with the people's movement in Tamilnadhu against the .

weeks and the Tamil Nadu assembly unanimously passed the resolution .
for commuting the death sentence to life imprisonment, SADP invited all .

organisations and concerned individuals to join in. Till day the .
organisations which are part of SADP are-AIBSF, AISA, AISF, DTSU, .

PSU, SFR and other forums such as Coordination Committee for .
Oppressed Nationalities (CCON), Untouchable India, and many .
concerned students. The SADP has decided to undertake a campaign for the abolition of death penalty in a sustained manner. In .
this regard we are going to organise various cultural programmes, public meetings, film screenings and convention. .
SADP believes that death penalty is a blot on humanity. uoeath Penalty is nothing but a judicially sanc~oned murder, .

framework of rarest cases. According to Rajindar Sachar, 'after the rarest of rare doctrine was introduced in 1980, the Supreme .
Court confirmed death penalty in 50 percent of cases in the period 1980-90 while it was 37.7 per cent between 1970 and 1980. For the High Courts it rose from 59 percent in 1970-80 to 65 per cent during 198(}90.' Over the past 15 years the death penalty has been extended to include more crimes and been handed down with increasing frequency. Paradoxically thus, while the 'rarest of the rare' doctrine was to be used to limit and restrict the use of the mandatory death penalty, it has often done the opposite. The toiling masses,people of oppressed nationalities have almost cent-percent 'reservation' in it. Twelve MCCI members were awarded capital punishments in Bara case whereas Brahameshwar Mukhia, the leader/founder of Ranvir Sena who massacred and raped hundreds of dalits got scot free desprte having all evidences against him. The Khairlanji murder accused were awarded death sentence earlier and then last year it was commuted to 25 years of imprisonment. Anderson, responsible for the murder of thousands of people in Bhopal Gas Tragedy is shielded by the Indian State. The murderers of more than 2000 Muslims in Gujarat are still out despite all evidences against them. The 'soldiers' in Kashmir who are killing people, get no punishment. Army is raping women in Kashmir. Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, North-East without any fear of punishment. Police is killing people all over the country by indiscriminately firing on the protesting people, but they never get any punishment-be it the case of Pune. Forbesganj or Tamil Nadu-where 3 days back five dalits were killed in police firing. We have examples of Jhajjar, Gohana, Mirchpur.

Rejection, the opposite of acceptance. The concept of the photo is something some people go through in society when they don't feel accepted, something I wanted to set was the fast shutter speed for the shallow depth of field to convey a message of "i'm lost in the world/ life is a blur." Something unique I wanted to do was to set up some lego's I had since I was kid to be my props. The setting I tried to convey was that they are ignoring you, that you are some sort of reject of society.
Today's rejection of the controversial ACTA anti-counterfeiting treaty by
the European Parliament has been welcomed by Plaid MEP Jill Evans, who
voted against the agreement.****
"Adopting the ACTA agreement as it stands would have done more harm than
good on several levels. Tackling serious cases of copyright infringement is
important, but ACTA would actually have undermined efforts to achieve this
at EU level.
**
"There were also very serious concerns about civil liberties, and the
negative impact on internet freedom, as well as the potentially heavy
handed approach with everyday users of copyright material.****
"I'm pleased that the European Parliament has stood up to pressure from big
business and rejected this flawed agreement. It's a victory for democracy
and for the consumer."

I wasn't having a good day after getting a couple of rejections so was walking back to the motor when Jess came round the corner a flash a lovely smile and walked on by. I caught up with her and explain the setup and she agreed to some shots. Jess is a beautician at a local salon and was at lunch when we met. I had to slightly desaturate it a little as the sun peeped out when I shot her and I hadn't noticed so the exposure was a bit on the hot side.

From my parents, I didn’t learn how to have or be a friend.
I didn’t learn to trust people.
I didn’t learn how to stick with a person, even if they are unpleasant or difficult, or to work at a relationship even if it is imperfect.
I learned how to be alone.
I learned how to mistrust.
I learned how to fear and to look for rejection.
I learned how to use people to get what I needed and wanted.
I learned how to break promises. I learned to lie, mostly to myself.
I learned to be afraid, to find comfort in being alone, to be anxious, and to be unpredictable.
I learned to look strong, while I covered my fears with work, or illness, or alcohol, or sarcasm, or wit, or intelligence, or knowledge and arrogance, or competence, or whatever was near that made it go away, for a time.
I didn’t learn how to need, to depend on others, to be open, to give and take. Me, me, me! Always, what mattered was how everything impacts me!
I learned how to take from and use people — I didn’t think I had anything to give back.
Isolation equaled strength somehow in my parents. Fear people, because they will let you down, hurt you, disappoint you, or even need you too much.
I didn’t learn from my parents and what I did, I am trying to unlearn.
Written 7/11/2009
Further reflections written on Tuesday, July 13 ...
Ah, the wretchedness of focusing on yourself and your internal distress and grief. Upon further thought I am truly ashamed. How self-centered these thoughts are and how sorry I feel for myself at times. Yes, all that happened but I also know, without a doubt, that what I learned and didn’t from my parents has made me the person I am today.
If anything, in the midst of my selfishness of thought, I am assured that I am not them. I am my own person. And although I am disgusted and ashamed of my parents’ behavior (and my own) at times, it came from their own pain and disappointment with their parents. My parents did not feel loved by their families, not a little, not a lot,seemingly not at all. And although intellectually I know I was loved, it always came with a sense of conditions, whether spoken or not, that I could not live up to. Not a little. Not a lot. Not at all.
I have made many, many mistakes already in my life. My addiction to work at one point in my life, and even my giving in to an addiction to alcohol, and came from lineage of broken people. Strength in the broken places was a mantra my father lived and I think he believedbut somehow he never changed; he never put a stop to passing on his pain, fear, isolation, and disappointments.
If I have any strength it comes from naming the sin of my selfishness. To continue on hurting others, or even blaming, would be the ultimate lapse of character and so I take my weaknesses, my awareness of what I did not learn, and what I did and reach out. For out of my fear, distrust and isolation come a raging and inconsolable need for Place. For Belonging. For a sense of Home, if you will, that I never knew as a child but crave as an adult. As I reach and extend my heart to others, I am trusting that we will each be strengthened by the risk-taking.
If it feels like jumping off a cliff, the terror unimaginably vivid, I am even more resolved! As I get outside of my doubts and fears, I can do something else with my life! Sometimes that is as simple as answering the phone, returning a phone call or email, replying lovingly to an inquiry and a revealing a little more of myself, or more importantly caring enough to ask questions of others.
Isolation only brings what I seem to always be looking for, which is ‘proof’ of others’ betrayal. I want others to reach toward me! What I am learning is to get outside of myself, to consider others before myself. Oh,I don’t do it perfectly, or even regularly, or even often enough; for the impulse to close in on myself is almost as natural as breathing. And yet although I breathe, that is not being alive. That is death in itself, to live hour-by-hour for myself and my own needs. It is to others that I am called or else this life in not worthwhile, not a life worth living. And I do want to live fully, as complete and whole as I can be.
In the end, this isn’t about my parents.
It ends with my parents and begins with,
jumping off the cliff,
today. Life in free fall is scary, but pretty great!

Hi mom
I just had my third rejection from a law firm, and feeling very disappointed. It is very competitive here in Hong Kong, but the rejections made em more determined to fight for a better job here.
Everytime I want to give up and cry, I will remember you playing violin late at night. I remember how everyone laugh at you and say bad things, and how you never give up. I think, that tenacity is your strongest character. Of course, sometimes you can be very stubborn.
Anyway, it is so difficult not to cry. I cry often now, especially last week when my boss scolded me for something that is not my fault. So tough neh...working in corporate world...
This mail is from my eldest girl..I felt I waan share wuth yr guys, a good " gift " on mother's day.

Rats are no strangers to rejection, but Remy, a rat who longs to be a great chef, has more than the usual obstacles to overcome. His remarkable sense of smell and genius for combining flavors puts him head and shoulders above most human chefs. However, in the rat world he's resigned to a life of being the "poison sniffer," using his unique talent to pick out the "safe" garbage for his family to eat. Remy hates the idea of stealing and eating garbage at all; he considers himself a maker, not a taker. When he's not out scrounging around for the few gourmet scraps he can safely get his hands on, he is busy poring over his most prized possession, a battered cookbook by the late, great chef Auguste Gusteau. When circumstances literally drop him in the kitchen of Gusteau's, his idol's world-famous restaurant in Paris, France, Remy finds himself living his dream of cooking, albeit unconventionally, in a real kitchen. RATATOUILLE is directed by Academy Award®-winning Brad Bird ("The Incredibles") and co-directed by Academy Award®-winning Jan Pinkava ("Geri's Game").
Research on desalination via pervaporation has become more and more active in recent years; this method has the advantage of a high rejection of salt and the capability of coping with high-salinity solutions. Liang et al. developed a TFNC membrane for pervaporation desalination by sequential deposition employing an electrospraying/electrospinning technique. A crosslinked PVA barrier layer with a thickness of 700 nm on a PAN nanofibrous substrate displayed excellent desalination performance (i.e., high water flux and a salt rejection ratio >99.5%) for different salt concentrations. GO has attracted great attention for membrane separation, as mentioned earlier, especially in the field of pervaporation application. But it is a big challenge to prepare a stable GO layer on a highly porous nanofibrous support because of the undulating surface caused by the fibrous structure. To solve this problem, Cheng et al. demonstrated a novel TFNC membrane consisting of an electrospun PAN nanofibrous substrate and a robust GO barrier layer for pervaporation desalination application. As shown in Figure, the stacked GO nanosheets were successfully interlinked with sufficient bonding by GA with the aid of a flexible connector, PVA, which acted as the spacing bridges to provide adequate stability in a water environment. Thanks to the superiority of a peculiar ultrathin hydrophilic GO skin layer and a fully interconnected porous nanofibrous substrate, the optimized TFNC membranes exhibited an excellent permeate flux of 69.1 L/m2h and a stable high rejection (99.9%) over a testing period of 24 h using an aqueous salt solution with NaCl concentration of 35 g/L at 70℃, which was superior to homogeneous membranes and composite membranes applied in pervaporation desalination reported so far.
There is a whole host of men out there who complain that they have faced a huge array of rejections when they ever dared to take an initiative. The same lot wonders how the successful ones do it time and time again. The fact is that is everyone gets a rejection now and then, even the best have to take a hit before they find success. It is not about being rejected frequently but having your mental ability and confidence strong enough to weather the storm. This confidence can easily come from experience and when you face a lot of things you learn to the positives and use the negatives to your advantage by learning from them. With this in mind, let's take a look at some of the dating tips that you can use to help you approach the opposite sex more successfully.
Make yourself approachable
I know we have already talked about the importance of having the self confidence to handle rejection and make yourself approachable, but more specifically once you have found that inner confidence, you need to exude this in such a way as to show yourself as warm and friendly but not to the point that you seem like a pretentious prick - so to speak. It's one thing to BE a Chick Magnet, but you don't want to actually come across like one.
You can be approachable if you carry positive energy around you and this comes from within. You have to eliminate all those reasons that make you frown or keep a long face. A smiling man with an energetic pace will have a very inviting look, and so observe how these people especially marketers and Publicity experts handle themselves. Keep smiling and greet women openly so you come across as friendly and don't appear to have something to hide or a hidden agenda (as most men always seem to have!)
Be yourself
[caption id="attachment_147" align="alignright" width="150" caption="be yourself - it's sexier than you think"][/caption]
Do you think you are really being yourself? There is tremendous potential to be even better than what you are now. If you think about some cool personality and you attempt to copy him, then you will fail miserably because your body language will be telling the truth. Just be yourself whether you are a geek or some artist, there is always respect for those who are being themselves at best.
Not being yourself can also come back to bite you - should you ever actually go on a date with this person. Do you really want to spend the whole evening pretending to be someone you are not? You would be surprised how many women are interested in you for who you really are - no matter how 'socially outcast' it happens to be. Just check out some of the Online Dating Sites around to get an idea of the vast array of personalities that exist there.
Prepare yourself with related updates
Keep yourself abreast of situations that everybody is talking about. Everybody here means majority women, and these are topics that even men can talk about. Discuss about latest movies or celebrities and something related that you can find in common in yourself and women. If you are prepared then the walls between you and the potential date will fall and you will have more reasons to talk.
Keep things on topic that are relevant to things she can actually relate to and discuss - not specifically womens issues per se
Discussing current topics and trends can help steer the conversation into all sorts of places - leading to a more comfortable evening and a better chance of a second date!
Compliment her
Whether you are starting off with pickup lines or you are in the middle of a conversation, just always remember to make a genuine compliment. Every lady has something good in her and some things that she strives to improve upon. If you recognize and acknowledge them then you will be showing a very considerate side of you that they love.
Listen to her
When she is trying to say something then make it a point to listen to her. Always make a conscious effort to repeat back small details that she has shared with you. If possible tie these facts into your own conversation to show not only that you have been paying attention but that you can show a common interest in things.
If you do that well already then keep it up, but for those who love to talk should be careful. This is a big way to show that you respect her and value what she wants to talk about.
Do these things and get the confidence to be yourself and you should find your success with picking up the opposite sex increase exponentially. Stop getting in your own way and get out there and find someone today!
