BOQUETE DISTRICT is a district (_distrito_) of Chiriquí Province in Panama located on the North of the Chiriqui Province, in the western side of the country. The population according to the 2010 census was 22,435.[1] The district covers a total area of 488.4 km².

The town is well known for its temperate cold climate, unlike the rest of the country, due to its location in the Cordillera Central. The capital lies at the city of Bajo Boquete.[2]

Administrative divisions

Boquete District is divided administratively into the following _corregimientos_:

-   Alto Boquete
-   Bajo Boquete (capital)
-   Caldera
-   Jaramillo
-   Los Naranjos
-   Palmira

History

According to archeological information, the nearby area of the Baru Volcano was the place of the first chiefdoms and agricultural societies on what is now the Panama–Costa Rica border, with man-made pottery carbon dated by archaeologists at the Barriles Site Barriles to 300 BC. In Caldera there are also petroglyphs that witness the presence of Isthmo-Colombian villages in this region. During the Spanish Colonization of the Americas, the district of Boquete, along with the rest of the Talamanca highlands, were isolated due to the topographical character of the area, serving as a refuge for the Ngöbe Buglé peoples.

It is not until the 19th century, when colonization of the Boquete region began, with population from Gualaca, Bugaba, David and a community of foreigners (mostly French and Germans) and some north Americans who started the growing of coffee, vegetables and the cattle raising. This immigration influenced the architectonic esthetic of the houses in Boquete and its town too. In 1907, the area had 6 villages: Lino, Bajo Boquete, Quiel, Bajo de Monos, Los Naranjos, Jaramillos and Palos Bobos (today Palmira); and it was made the first agricultural census by the Panamanian new government and it shows that the main activity of the population was cultivation of Arabica coffee that start to be well known because it richest cup flavor. It was part of the district of David, nonetheless, the distance and the poor communication with the city of David and Boquete, brought as consequence that the population decided the creation of a new district.

With the law 20 of the January, 17th, 1911, was declared formally the Boquete district as part of the Chiriqui province. As an additional condition, was necessary to add the township of Caldera and the village of El Frances. The first Mayor was Mr. Felipe Gonzales.

Initially, the capital of the district was located in the community of Alto Lino, where there were more inhabitants and it had some facilities. However, the inhabitants made a request to move the capital to Bajo Boquete, due to its central location in the district. Although the change had been made unofficially, it was not made effective until the promulgation of Law 103 of 1941.

In 1950, the town started to celebrate the local Festival of the Coffee. On April 9, 1970, due to a serious flood that caused damages and the deaths of 8 people, the festival was suspended until next year. In 1973, the Festival of the Coffee turned into the Feria de las Flores y del Café.

Until 1998, there were only three townships: Bajo Boquete, Caldera and Palmira; that same year the townships of Alto Boquete, Jaramillo and Los Naranjos were formed.

Walking home late one night after last call at the tavern, alone on a lightless road, a flash ignites the sky above. As quick as it comes, I am disappeared from that tired avenue, and my surroundings are no longer the outdoors. I am in a red and orange striped and spotted room that I can only recognize as a holding cell of some sort. The colors are breathing; laughing. Slowly, a green and yellow gaseous cloud begins to build, and soon it's all I can breathe. Though I can breathe it simply enough, I do my best not to, but it keeps growing until it's the only thing I can inhale.

Hours? Days? All I know, when I finally regain consciousness in that red and orange cell, is that I have never felt more tired in my life. Ever. Groggy, shaky, weak and woozy, I try to prop myself onto my hands and knees, as I appear to have passed out on the floor of my cell. I survey the room by slowly crawling around, and find that the door is made of a glass like substance, and it feels different from the other three walls, but I can't actually see the difference. The pattern on the glass matches the pattern on the other three walls. Two days, three? How long have I been here? Has it been longer than a week? It's this moment that I realize just how famished I am. "Hello," I say with a dry voice, my throat parched and scratchy. "Water."

The wall that I believe is the door becomes clear. I can see through it into a gray hall, likely metallic walls, floor and ceiling. There are faint yellow lights spacing the hallway every twenty feet or so, but all I can see is darkness on either end. And footsteps. I hear footsteps. Finally, a shadowy figure appears at the far end of my vision down the left side of the hall from my cell. As it gets closer, my eyes begin to blur more and more, until I know whatever it is, though I am completely blind, it's standing directly in front of me. The sound of compressed air being released hisses out to my right, and I can feel a slight draft from the hallway. Were I to have use of my legs, I might attempt to run, but I can still barely sit up. Hands grab under both of my arms, and I am dragged out of the cell and into the hall.

After being taken into a lift, and what feels like being paraded around in front of whatever species is holding me, they drop me in a heap on the floor. My vision finally begins to return, and the first thing I notice is the size of the room I am in. Cavernous would be a mild attempt at a description, but I am starting to see better still, and I can see that I am before the seat of power. A large throne, sitting atop an island of a dais, and a ruler to occupy the seat. Humanoid in appearance, his flesh is a blueish green. He wields six mighty arms, and five horned ridges appear at the top of his head, rather than any hair.

"I am Xyzornat, ruler of Devil's Reach. You have been aboard my ship for three years today." He stands from his seat, and all around me, robed figures begin chanting a dark tattoo. They close in on me, and I still can't move. When they are within two feet of me, in a complete circle, they throw back their robes, revealing themselves to be of the same race as their leader. With a blade in each of their six hands, they individually and simultaneously sever their own heads. Blood pools around me, soaking into my clothes. Xyzornat, leader of Devil's Reach, leaps fifty feet into the air, and seems to hover above me for a moment, before crashing down. His eight limbs have me completely pinned and surrounded. He opens his mouth and two, foot long fangs pierce into my neck, just below my Adam's Apple. The pain is extreme, and I can feel the teeth push into my chest. I feel them slide, inch by inch behind my ribs, until they stab into my heart. The last thing I will ever hear is his voice as he says, "Your soul is now mine."

title: Xyzornat:  Ruler of Devil's Reach (Part 1/5)

question: Describe Xyzornat.

answer: Xyzornat is humanoid with bluish-green flesh. He has six arms and five horned ridges at the top of his head.

question: Who is the narrator?

answer: The narrator's background is not given.

question: Where does the narrator encounter Xyzornat?

answer: In a large, cavernous room with a throne atop a dais.

question: Describe the cell where the narrator wakes up.

answer: It is a red and orange striped and spotted room. It has a door made out of a glass-like substance. The walls all have the same pattern on them.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator is walking home from the tavern one day when a light flashes from above and he is transported into a cell. After being held there for some time, he is taken to a throne room, where he encounters Xyzornat, ruler of Devil's Reach. Xyzornat bites into his neck and says the narrator's soul belongs to him now.

Al-Anbat - Jaguar is calling for the Oxford English Dictionary and OxfordDictionaries to update theironline definition of the word ‘car’ The online definition currently only defines a car as being powered by an ‘internal combustion engine’ The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE was named 2019 World Car of the Year in April but using the current definitions it isn’t a ‘car’ Jaguar is encouraging people tocontact them on social media using #RedefineTheCarwith how the word ‘car’ should be defined Find out more information about the Jaguar I-PACE at https://www.jaguar-me.com/en/jaguar-range/i-pace/electric-vehicles/index.html

18August 2019, Dubai:Jaguar is spearheading a campaign for the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and OxfordDictionaries (OxfordDictionaries.com) to change their official online definitions of the word ‘car’.

The I-PACE, Jaguar’s all-electric performance SUV,is the 2019 World Car of the Year and European Car of the Year. However, strictly speaking, the zero-emission vehicle isn’t defined as a car.

The OED, the principal historical dictionary of the English language, defines a ‘car’ inits online dictionary as: ‘a road vehicle powered by a motor (usually an internal combustion engine) designed to carry a driver and a small number of passengers, and usually having two front and two rear wheels, esp. for private, commercial, or leisure use.’ ,

Whereas the current definition of a ‘car’ on OxfordDictionaries.com,  a collection of dictionary websites produced by Oxford University Press (OUP), the publishing house of the University of Oxford, is: ‘A road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people.’

To remedy the situation, Jaguar has submitted a formal application to the OED and OxfordDictionaries.com to have the definitions updated to include additional powertrains, including electric vehicles (EV).

David Browne, head of Jaguar Land Rover’snaming committee, said “A lot of time and thought is put into the name of any new vehicle or technology to ensure it is consumer friendly, so it’s surprising to see that the definition of the car is a little outdated. We are therefore inviting the Oxford English Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionaries to update its online classification to reflect the shift from traditional internal combustion engines towards more sustainable powertrains.”

The Oxford English Dictionary is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of 600,000 words - past and present - from across the English-speaking world.

Jaguar unveiled the I-PACE, its first all-electric vehicle, last year to deliver sustainable sports car performance, next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) technology and five-seat SUV practicality.

Featuring a state-of-the-art 90kWh lithium-ion battery, two Jaguar-designed motors and a bespoke aluminium structure, the I-PACE is capable of 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and a range of up to 292 miles (WLTP).

While both the Oxford English Dictionary and Oxford Dictionaries review the application, Jaguar is encouraging people to get behind the campaign by asking how the word ‘car’ should be defined. Contact Jaguar on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using #RedefineTheCar with your thoughts.

Find out more about the Jaguar I-PACE at https://www.jaguar-me.com/en/jaguar-range/i-pace/electric-vehicles/index.html

question: What does the text say about the revised definition of "car"?

answer: The car manufacturer, Jaguar, is seeking to update the definition of 'car' in the Oxford English Dictionary. The current definition dictates that "car" is a road vehicle powered by a motor (usually an internal combustion engine). With Jaguar's newest fleet of electric vehicles, the car manufacturer has submitted an application to the dictionaries to include additional powertrains such as electric vehicles in their definition of 'car'.

AFTER ENGLAND LOST THEIR FIRST GAME IN 19 MATCHES AND MISSED OUT ON A BACK-TO-BACK GRAND SLAM – THANKS TO A SUPERB IRISH DEFENCE – WE RATE THE ENTIRE ENGLAND 23 OUT OF 10.

1) JOE MARLER

A solid enough performance in the first half, but being replaced at half time was telling. He is likely to lose his spot to Vunipola post-Lions tour. 5

2) DYLAN HARTLEY

You cannot dispute Hartley is a fantastic leader: back-to-back Championship titles (England had only previously won one since 2003) and 18 consecutive victories. However, he is not his country’s best hooker and despite a good performance against Scotland has looked below par all tournament. 4

3) DAN COLE

England’s anchor at the scrum, Cole got through a significant defensive shift (8 tackles in total), but still has a tendency to give away penalties.  5

[Ireland v England - RBS Six Nations]

4) JOE LAUNCHBURY

18 tackles in all and another impressive workmanlike performance from the Wasps lock – now seemingly England’s first choice second row. 7

5) COURTNEY LAWES

With Ireland putting England under huge pressure in defence, Lawes put in another fantastic contribution with 20 tackles in all and he was one of his team’s best players on a night of disappointment. 7

6) MARO ITOJE

Not a great night for the young Saracens man – he made uncharacteristic mistakes and was thwarted at the lineout, plus gave away needless penalties. Yet Itoje still put in 20 tackles and made a nuisance of himself around the pitch. This is first defeat at international level and he will learn from it. 6

7) JAMES HASKELL

Constantly put his body on the line but sometimes lack the intelligence to go with his brute force – being caught up in the choke tackle was costly to his team. England still need to find a more traditional openside to bring better balance to the back row. 5

[Ireland v England - RBS Six Nations]

8) BILLY VUNIPOLA

Some will argue Vunipola should not have been brought in so quickly given his recent return from a serious knee injury, and the player looked underpowered and undercooked – although much credit must be given to Ireland’s defence for this. 5

9) BEN YOUNGS

Really struggled to produce the quick ball England needed to build up any attacking momentum, with Ireland skilfully slowing the ball down time after time. Youngs can be brilliant but he looked distinctly ordinary in this match, and although robbed of the chance of facing Lions rival Conor Murray, this opportunity to push his case to the team selectors was simply not taken. 5

10) GEORGE FORD

With an armchair ride provided by his forwards against Scotland, Ford was utterly brilliant last weekend at Twickenham. However, under pressure in defence – he put in 12 tackles in all – and severely restricted in terms of time and space by a relentless Irish defence with fantastic line speed, Ford struggled to get himself into the game. 5

11) ELLIOT DALY

A clever player with a box of tricks, but was given too few opportunities to show what he can do with the ball in hand. Daly is England’s most naturally gifted footballer and will continue to figure largely in Jones’ plans. 6

[Ireland v England - RBS Six Nations]

12) OWEN FARRELL

Despite another decent shift in defence and a reliable place kicking boot, Farrell couldn’t find a way through the green wall in front of him, not helped by the lack of quick ball being produced up front. 5

13) JONATHAN JOSEPH

One fan commented to this writer during the game: “Was Joseph even playing?” With England lacking any decent possession for much of the game last week’s hat-trick hero was anonymous beyond the four tackles he put in. 4

14) ANTHONY WATSON

Brought into the side after impressing off the bench against Scotland, but was given little opportunity to show what he could do in attacking play. Watson did put in a decent defensive shift but question marks will remain over who should make up England’s back three. 5

[Ireland v England - RBS Six Nations]

15) MIKE BROWN

This type of game in those conditions were perfect for Brown and his strengths: his aerial skills, his defensive prowess and his powerful boot. There is still a place for the Harlequins’ fullback’s old school style of play. 6

 October 12, 1989:

	She wore a red dress of exquisite formidability. The fabric, elegant in its simplicity, tightly enveloped her body in a manor that distinguished the alluring curves of her veneer. The top was cut just above the breasts, exposing her shoulders; from the waist down, the dress loosened and draped to where it was cut just below the knee: revealing a red ribbon, equal in shade to that of the dress, tied securely around her right ankle. The dress acted as a bright contrast to the seemingly monochrome topography of the Lexington Avenue subway station on 59th Street. The white-tiled walls were now withered and coated in miscellaneous filth and graffiti art. The station's accepted commoners and vagrants, alike, all flooded it's floors and weaved through parallel columns spanning the length of the platform. Public benches were offered for the weary; mutters of impatience among the waiting could be heard under the flicker of fluorescent light. This was indeed, she thought, a beautifully tragic representation of social conformity.
	She was 36 years of age as of June, though she appeared to be in her mid 20's. Her hight was average: slender body. Her skin was smooth and pallid, almost white in color, with light blush accents. She had always possessed a pale complexion ever since she could remember. As a result, she had often been mistakenly labeled with ailments and profiled by her former peers. Her skin also offered an ideal canvas for the red of her dress and the dark indentations of the bruises she bore.Though most were concealed, one could barley be seen emerging from the seam of her dress on her upper back; she was used to bruises. Her lips were red: again, similar to the red of the dress. Her eyes were bright blue, emphasized by a minimal application of eye liner. Very little cosmetics were used. She possessed a naturally youthful face: one which did not accurately reflect her age. Cosmetics were rarely applicable. Her long, dark hair was pinned in an upsweeping French twist with the graceful decent of frayed strands that intertwined on each side. This was a suitable frame for her aesthetic facial features and a fitting style for the formality of her appearance.
	She descended the stairs of the subway station and stepped onto the lowest level of the underground platform. The station was moderately populated: comprised of a cluster of age groups ranging from elders in suits to small children, who's restless stirrings pronounced the stationary positions of their guardians. With each step she took, the click of her high heels resonated up the length of her legs to the seductive sway of her hips. Immediately, the diverted attention of those around her brought about sporadic glances: not only of her beauty. She carried in her right arm, with her, an infant child wrapped in a blanket and suspended in a woven cradle. The child was abnormally silent, given its age and the current setting. The child was dormant and not a sound was uttered.
	She walked, with a confident poise, to a wooden bench near the center and sat down to the left of a man with a leather suitcase resting at his feet. The man appeared to be in his late 20's. He was relatively tall, medium built, with a freshly shaven face and black hair that was gelled back like some bad 50's nock-off. He wore a tattered, leather jacket over a black crew neck shirt, blue jeans, and some worn sneakers. He was well groomed and sanitary, though his attire reflected some financial difficulty. Upon the bench, she placed the cradle with the child on her lap and folded her hands against her lower abdomen. Her legs were stationed tightly together, and her posture was straight and unrelenting. She remained motionless, faced forward, for a moment staring at the train tracks. She was lost in abysmal thought in an almost transcending foreshadowing of her future actions. This was not so much out of hesitation or doubt but of reflection and confirmation. She knew what she had to do and how it had to be done; there was no avoiding it. This in no way, though, diminished the difficulty of its nature. Without parting her lips, she inhaled deeply and turned to face the man sitting aside of her. Her gaze was unyielding and expressed a measure of both innocence and confidence. She bore a slight smile as though she was content with the man and her circumstances. It almost seemed fake, like a sarcastic mask to comfort any onlookers. For her, this was often the case; however, this was the first time she had smiled in years. It took the man a considerable time before he became aware of her, for she spoke not a word. He turned to his left only to be entranced by her profound beauty. He could not remember a time when such a tantalizing sight had graced his eyes. Though he silently inquired as to the cause of this wanton attention, it was of no great concern at the time. For a moment that depicted an eternity, they remained suspended in an uncomfortable silence before a sound was uttered.
	"What is your name?" she asked. Her voice was seamless and youthful. The man hesitated for a brief moment before clearing his throat.
	"Jake Crow," he replied.
	"And what is your profession?" she asked. Her diction was formal with no noticeable accents  and a relatively fast rate of speech. Jake once again hesitated. He found it queer to be abruptly confronted with a series of disjointed personal inquiries. He felt as though he was being interviewed for a job or something. She had a detached, clinical way about her, the way she conducted herself, that gave him a sense of uneasiness: never breaking composure.
	"I'm in the service," he retorted.
	"Are you married?"
	"I'm sorry... who are you?" he finally asked. Her smile widened, as if he had met her expectations, as she closed her eyes and faced forward. She paused for a moment.
	"I was a dancer once," she said with nostalgia. "I studied dance at Juilliard and performed for the American Ballet Theatre in New York... I was exceptional.... and that was a long time ago." She paused again and turned back to face him. "Do you know why men find the color red alluring Mr. Crow?" she asked as she subtly directed his attention to the fabric of her dress. He shook his head. "Though some argue it's purely the cause of societal conditioning or popular culture, there's reason to believe that men's attraction to the color red is a result of primal, biological effects, their nature, for this anomaly often occurs naturally. Valentines day hearts, carnations, the red illumination of a brothel, red sports cars and the ties that drive them, the attire of nobility and the red cross of authority... Red not only symbolizes passion and romance but power and anger... hate....death." Her voice was now sullen and repressive. "Sometimes, Mr Crow, we have to bleed red to prevent those who draw it." The man was struck speechless. He was almost overwhelmed by this peculiar meeting and what she had said and was unsure on how to retort. He could see pain in her eyes, though she was attempting to hide it; these words had meaning. He decided to change the subject.
	"The child is beautiful," the man said nervously. "Is it yours?" Her face brightened in a bestowal of mirth at his question as her smile returned.
	"Yes," she replied as she gazed down upon her. "Her name is Alice." She stated her name as though there was nothing else.
	"I'm actually engaged," he said. "We've been trying to conceive, but with no luck."
	"Everything I am....everything I do is for her," she said. "Remember that." The distant sound of an approaching train resonated throughout the station. She seemed flustered at the noise. She leaned down and untied the red ribbon from her ankle, folding it and gently placing in the cradle beside her infant daughter. She stood up and placed the cradle on the bench where she previously sat. She bent over and kissed the child affectionately before handing the man a small leather-bound diary. "Please give this to her when she becomes of age....Please take care of her."
	"What?...I....I don't understand," he stuttered with confusion. She smiled once again at him and her daughter before turning to face the tracks. Her pace was constant as the locomotive neared. She crossed the thresh hold marked with caution and balanced upon the ledge before closing her eyes and falling forward. Her morbid greeting with death, elegant in its simplicity, was as a lily on a grave painted in red.

title: The Red Ribbon: Ch. 1

question: Why does the woman dressed in red commit suicide?

answer: I have no idea.

question: What item does the woman give to Jake?

answer: She gives him a diary so that he can give it to her daughter when she comes of age.

question: Why does the woman question Jake?

answer: It seems like she wants to know a thing or two about him before entrusting her child to him.

question: Explain what the woman means when she says sometimes people need to bleed red to prevent those who would draw it.

answer: She implies that her actions are to prevent bloodshed, but it's not much of an explanation.

question: Explain the significance of the red ribbon.

answer: It's not mentioned at all in the story.

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer: A beautiful woman, dressed in red in contrast to the whites of the train station, carries an infant in her hands. Poised and polished, she looks a lot younger than she is. She sits on a bench near a man who looks well dressed, engaging in conversation as she asks personal questions about him. After the man talks about his and his wife's difficulty with conceiving, she tells him that everything she does is for her daughter Alice. She gives a diary to him and instructs him to give it to Alice when she comes of age before dropping herself in front of the coming train.

Unless you've been the victim of a Kimmy Schmidt-esque experience and haven't seen the news for a decade, you're probably aware that climate change is here — and it's terrifying. Between reports of disintegrating ice shelves, dwindling water supplies in California, or the fact that climate change could even deprive you of your morning coffee, there's not a whole lot to feel optimistic about these days regarding the state of our planet. Sorry to be a downer.

Fortunately, the impending ecological crisis has pissed off a lot of people who won't sit idly by as fossil fuel companies transform our the earth into a working set for the new _Mad Max_ sequel. Those within the burgeoning environmental justice movement — which aims to improve the environment in all communities, and focus on addressing problems within those communities that have negative impacts on the environment — know we're playing a higher-stakes game now. They want you to know that calls to save the polar bears without any action behind them just ain't gonna cut it anymore. Instead of trying to fix the innumerable problems climate change creates individually, activists are instead turning to fight the root cause of global warming.

No recent book better represents this dramatic shift in strategy than Naomi Klein's latest masterpiece, _This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate_. In the book, Klein paints a revolutionary yet hopeful image of how we will need to change our culture, and economic system, to avoid catastrophe.

While there's a ton to be said about the book, one of the things that stuck out most was how thoroughly feminist eco-justice is at its core. This, of course, brought me to the concept of ecofeminism, a field of study developed in 1974 which uses feminist principles to address the way human beings interact with nature. Françoise d'Eaubonne's book, _Le Féminisme ou la Mort_, outlines the similarities between the subjugation women face at the hands of the patriarchy, comparing and contrasting how humanity's treatment of the environment — namely through environmental devastation — has a lot in common with the way women are treated in society. I've compiled a list of feminist and ecofeminist themes at the heart of Klein's book, as well as the larger movement, that show why feminism and activism for the environment go hand-in-hand. There's a lot to stand up for this Earth Day.

Reproductive Rights Are Worth Fighting For

It's no secret that patriarchal lawmakers in this country think women can't be trusted to control their own bodies. Klein highlights the hypocrisy that so many of these same "pro-life" lawmakers push for aggressive drilling, fracking, and mining — practices that significantly limit our planet's ability to produce new life. Klein notes that, at present, "if the Earth is indeed our mother, then far from the bountiful goddess of mythology, she is a mother facing a great many fertility challenges,” and needs us to fight on her behalf. Klein's not the first writer to see the similarities between women and the environment for their life-giving and life-sustaining abilities; ecofeminists have been arguing for ages that there's a similarity between pro-life advocates and pro-drilling enthusiasts — both of whom seek control over things which extend beyond themselves.

Considering we are living in an age of mass extinction, those who seek to push a pro-life agenda should stop worrying about if women should be allowed the basic dignity of choosing whether or not to bring a child into an already over-populated world. Instead, let's take that "righteous" anger and direct it towards curbing practices that deny our mother Earth her own natural right to reproduce and regenerate. Ecofeminism draws similarities between the female tenets of reciprocity and nature's own sustainability, sensing that the control of reproductive resources have been in the hands of unscrupulous actors for too long in both cases. We need to stop telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies and, while we're at it, protect the reproductive rights of our planet, too.

It's Never OK to Justify Exploitation

The long-standing expectation for women to serve as unpaid domestic labor is just one example of how women are often asked to sacrifice their own lives and freedom for the "greater good" of society. Feminists reject the notion that oppression in any form ever benefits society — and ecofeminism takes this a step further to include the exploitation of the environment for the benefit of corporations at the expense of our climate.

Klein argues our current economic and environmental policy is "directly connected to the notion of sacrifice zones — places that, to their extractors, somehow don’t count and therefore can be poisoned, drained, or otherwise destroyed, for the supposed greater good of economic progress." The exploitation of land is also inherently tied to the exploitation of people. After all, "in order to have sacrifice zones, you need to have people and cultures who count so little that they are considered deserving of sacrifice.” Sound familiar? Women's bodies, like resource-rich portions of the world, have long been considered sacrifice zones, justifying and rationalizing the exploitation of others in ways which do not benefit those who are marginalized.

We Must Prioritize the Rights and Safety of Marginalized People

Although climate change affects us all, it doesn't affect us all equally. Klein observes that, in a cruel twist of fate, “historically marginalized people in the Global South, as well as communities of color in the Global North ... are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change," even though the consumption of wealthy countries and communities is responsible for the majority of atmospheric carbon. Klein re-centers the conversation by looking at the particular hardships faced by these communities, many of which also serving as centers of gender-based oppression. Throughout the global south, women are culturally and economically marginalized — forced, in many cases, to endure horrific wages and working conditions while manufacturing consumer goods for the global north.

Ecofeminism draws corollaries between indigenous peoples' rights, human rights, and gender equality. Ending policies that marginalize indigenous people for the purposes of exploiting their natural resources leads, eventually, to gender equality as well. After all, it's hypocritical to call for human rights without providing all humans with a level playing field.

It's Not Us vs. Them

For ages, the environmental movement has taken on the fight against climate change as an effort to "save the Earth." This patriarchal notion created a false dichotomy — treating humanity as not only the only force capable of enacting change, but served to "other" the concept of nature. Thing is, we're all a part of the same nutty starship, kids. Nature is humanity, and humanity is nature. This concept is due in large part to feminist studies: men have long dominated society, acting as the sole arbiters of what is best for humanity writ-large. Men are not the deciders in society, and nor are we an independent body that must save the planet, as though it were an entity that didn't include our own salvation, too. Klein writes:

  [When we] resolve to save the planet, we cast ourselves in a very specific role. That role is of a parent, the parent of the earth. But the opposite is the case. It is we humans who are fragile and vulnerable and the earth that is hearty and powerful, and holds us in its hands.

The notion that human beings must save the planet, rather than their own humanity, through conservation is a tired trope that's past its sell-by date. Ecofeminism would argue that this is an outgrowth of the patriarchy; another stale idea that is on its way out the door these days.

We Should Not Base How We Treat Land and People On Their Economic Potential

Exploitation of people, land, or resources all stem from the same concept. When we "other" something, we view it as less important than ourselves. This idea holds true in feminist theory as well as eco-justice. While a productive economy is important, it cannot come at the expense of others. Feminism affirms the inherent value of all people, arguing that human beings are not commodities for exploitation. Ecofeminism takes this idea to its logical conclusion, arguing that natural resources are not commodities that can be exploited without considering human implications behind drilling, fracking, and polluting. Klein argues that environmentalists care about natural resources in the same way that environmental advocates believe that a society's health can only be measured by its most unfortunate, saying, "the logic that would cut pensions, food stamps, and health care before increasing taxes on the rich is the same logic that would blast the bedrock of the earth to get the last vapors of gas and the last drops of oil."

Social Change is Rooted in Love, Not Hate

The foundation of feminism is not hatred of men, but rather love and concern for the well-being of women. Living out this radical love forces feminists to confront the men in our culture who continue treating women as property. When some men are asked to relinquish their unequal power, they respond with aggression. Love for women, as espoused by feminism, means love for humanity. So too does environmentalism call for love, respect, and cooperation. Few environmentalists call for a radical societal change. No one's arguing we should pick up stakes and move back into caves, despite what some detractors might lead you to believe. Similarly, ecofeminism calls for love and respect of the planet as a giver of life. Basically, the movement says to love nature like you would love anyone who gave you life, air, and a sunny day. To have love for any one thing is to love everything in equal measure. And without respect, one can't love. Klein interviews a protester who says, "The connection to this place and the love that people have for it, that’s what Arch Coal doesn’t get, that’s what in the end will save that place. Is not (sic) the hatred of the coal companies, or anger, but love." Until we can demonstrate to petrochemical companies that nature is not an untapped resource — but a renewable resource for affirming one's own humanity, the fight still lies ahead.

Women Lead the Front Lines

It seems obvious that women should, and do, direct the goals and activities of the feminist movement. It's only natural that in the struggle for women's equality, the leaders should be those most affected by and knowledgeable about patriarchal injustice. What's interesting, though, is that women also play the primary role in driving the eco-justice movement. Grave danger to our planet is something that should, theoretically, move both men and women to action. Despite climate change's universal threat, however, Klein observed that "the prominent role played by women, who often dominate the front lines, providing not only powerful moral leadership but also some of the movements’ most enduring iconography." Images of powerful women fighting for the planet are enduring testaments to the strength and determination of women everywhere. No surprise, then, that ecofeminism seeks to kill two patriarchal birds with one stone — overthrowing sexism and environmental destruction with one fell theoretical swoop.

Overview

In this small but mighty book, the author comes to grips with basic issues in theology, such as why Jesus died and why Jewish people object to Him. This rabbinic interpretation presents passage after biblical passage relating the Old Covenant’s fulfillment in the Messiah. For two decades, _Jesus Was a Jew_ has proven itself an incredibly powerful witnessing tool to Jewish people, and it is ideal for Jewish friends who are skeptical of your faith, but willing to read.

Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Controversy over the answer still rages today. Was he a good teacher? Was he a well-meaning, but confused, religionist? Was he a disciple of another teacher?

Regardless of your answer, _Jesus was a Jew._

THIS RESOURCE IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS PART OF ARIEL MINISTRIES MESSIANIC COLLECTION (11 VOLUMES).

I read through my senior yearbook tonight. The pages between the ends didn't matter, it's filled with students I don't know, or don't care for. What I read through were all the messages and signatures signed on the first and last two pages along with the inside covers. I found lies. Or what I think are lies compared to the current state. I graduated in May 2011, it is now January 2012.

My friend Ben signed the first page. He told me how great a friend I was, and how I influenced him in a lot of different media. He included staying in touch, which we did, until a few weeks ago. I get this feeling he doesn’t want to talk to me, as if I get on his nerves. All I want is to do something -- anything! Games, talk, make you not bored like you always seem to be. I guess I can let that go, when you want to do something call me.

The next person is someone who I have really enjoyed talking to over the last year, Cheri. She told me to go shove a microscope down my throat and die. It was a nice way to start off a yearbook message, then she had to ruin it by saying just kidding, kinda. I had the privilege to continue seeing her after high school. I ran into her at the mall where she gave me the biggest hug which was nice because I thought Cheri was a great person and I hadn't seen anyone from school yet. Then I was able to get into an English class with her along with my friend Priscila (but more on her later.) My best memories from my first semester of college come from that class. Cheri is such a great sport when it comes to jokes and she has one of the most interesting personalities of any person I had ever met. She must've deleted her Facebook because I cannot access it anymore, which is a disappointment because that was the only way I communicated with her. Explaining Cheri's story isn't a somber one, it is one that just reminds me how much I miss her craziness.

This girl named Alyssa wrote under Cheri's message. She called me irritating, which was an honest thing. I was quite proud that she wrote that. Then she called me hilarious. Strike number one! That was one of the lies I was mentioning earlier. She went on to call me a good Winter Ball date. Strike number two! No I wasn't, don't kid yourself. I didn't want to eat at dinner because of a long time stomach problem, and I danced like cardboard cutout. The best I did was awkwardly rubbing my dick on your ass as you grinded right on it. She ended it with you're a great guy! Strike number three! Thanks for playing The Game of Yearbook! Oh how I wish I could tell you I had feelings for you and you'd say you did too, but you now are a lesbian with a girlfriend. Go me.

I skipped quite a few people who just signed to sign. Telling me I'm funny. Keep being me. Don't lose touch. I never talk to them anymore. But it seems to be that way with pretty much everyone that signed my yearbook.

I wanted to conclude with the two biggest signers. My two best friends of last year. Two people that in January of 2011 were inseparable from me. If you wanted one of us, you'd get the whole package, that was how we were. The two people that I truly loved, one more in a feelings way, but both loved. Two people that in January of 2012 I don't even talk to.

I liked this girl. I really liked this girl. I actually became great friends with this girl. I never thought I would ever be there with this girl. This girl. This crazy funny amazing incredible girl. This girl I feel like I abandoned. This girl named Megan. She says, we went from not talking at all to becoming the bestest friends in one year and I'm so glad we've gotten so close. I was too and still am. I got to experience who she was for a full year. I had feelings for her and we were good friends, it was at least an acceptable combo.  Then after the last day of school in May 2011, I never saw her again. My feelings got in the way. Feelings she never had for more. When she started dating another friend, I was saddened. I let her go, along with those feelings. When I let her go, our friendship went with it. Which makes the next part of her yearbook message heartbreaking. She said, well we are going to remain best buds because I will force a friendship on you forever. Which is something she never did. Which is a lie she wrote down. Which is something she should do now. Find me and force me to be friends, to get back to how we were a year ago. She wouldn't need to force me. She wouldn't even be able to ask before I would shout out that I want us to be friends. I want her back. I want to know that Megan is someone I can always talk to. That time may have passed though. It might be too late to do anything about it. If it is, one day I can look back into my yearbook and realize I could've had the greatest friendship ever, but I ruined it much too soon.

The last signature is from a good friend. Someone who used to be a good friend. I actually don't know where we stand anymore. Her name is Priscila. She starts with I love you so much. Probably true, then.  She continues with, you are the brother I never had and I will never forget you. Just give that some time, I'm sure you're less than a month away from saying Kevin who? She said, oh and this summer we have to make videos and play video games before we start another year of disappointment. We never did any of that at all. We met roughly six times over the course of summer and that was it until school. I guess I can blame her job because that kept her occupied all the time. That might have been our downfall. Maybe we're still friends but I feel like that will die soon enough. She doesn't text me, and when I tried messaging her on Facebook it was brief before she stopped messaging and went to do other things on Facebook. I guess that is what you get for telling someone you miss them. One can say I'm reacting too strongly to the situation, but they don't know how I feel. The times where I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her. The times where I undoubtedly have complete feelings for her, despite knowing I have to think of her as a sister. The times where I can imagine us happy together but knowing that can never happen. Then again, let it burn. Move far from where we were to where we are now and beyond. Let us find new people and new friendships, preferably ones that work better. Because in the end, I assume it is going to end up that way.

While looking back over my yearbook I found sadness, regret, emptiness, and lots of ink. I saw a friendship that will probably end. Someone I wish I could still chat with. A girl I had feelings for but never her. Another girl I really liked, who was my best friend, and I don't talk to her anymore. A girl I now like, my other best friend, someone who's friendship is also fading. In my yearbook I found emptiness, well, it made me find the emptiness in my life. I am left completely alone. This is not the way I preferred it, but it is the way it is. Maybe thirty years from now I can look back at the yearbook and only remember those memories. The ones written on the pages, none of the memories after them.  I hope for a day like that in the future. For now, I have to live remembering all of it. I'm just counting down the days until I can forget.

title: Reflection on My Senior Yearbook

question: How long ago did the narrator graduate?

answer: A year ago

question: Who is the narrator?

answer: The narrator is a guy named Kevin.

question: Describe the narrator's relationship with Megan.

answer: The narrator initially didn't talk to Megan at all but then became very close friends with her in the span of a year. He had feelings for her, and their friendship ended because she didn't return those feelings and started dating someone else. They no longer speak to each other.

question: Describe how the narrator feels about Priscila.

answer: He and Priscila used to be good friends. She sees him as a brother, but they spent less and less time together as she grew busy with her job. He sometimes wishes he could spend the rest of his life with her.

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer: A year after graduating, Kevin looks through the signatures in his senior yearbook and reflects on his relationships with all of the signees. Most of what is written in the yearbook he deems to be lies. He laments how he and his friends have drifted apart. In particular, he thinks about his friend Megan, who he had unrequited feelings for, and his friend Priscila, whose friendship is currently fading. He looks forward to the day he can only remember the memories captured on the page, and not the ones that came after that.

Marijuana is a highly used drug all over the world for both recreational and medicinal use. It comes from the “cannabis” plant and can be used in foods or smoked. Depending on how potent the strain is, the effects can be short-term and long term. There is a chance of overdose from marijuana if too much of the drug is used. However, can you die from ingesting too much Marijuana? Let’s take a look at the effects of marijuana and what an overdose might feel like.

Can You Overdose On Marijuana?

Effect of Ingesting Too Much Marijuana --_“Greening Out”_

A temporary overdose of marijuana can occur and is called “greening out.” It is important to understand that a temporary overdose of marijuana will not result in permanent disability or death, but can be quite common in people who have not used the drug often. The following are the symptoms of too much marijuana in the system:

-   Temporary feelings of paranoia, fear and anxiety
-   Shortness of breath
-   Pupil dilation
-   Vomiting and/or nausea
-   Fast heart rate
-   Shaking that is hard to control, feeling cold
-   Disorientation or hallucinations
-   Hangover

This phenomenon passes on its own within minutes to hours of marijuana use. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention needs to be obtained to make sure the user is closely observed for complications. There is a chance that some marijuana obtained on the street could contain stronger chemicals and drugs that could cause a person to become very ill. In this case, someone could suffer from dangerous side effects. There is also a slight risk of using too much marijuana with underlying health conditions and suffering severe reactions to the drug.

How to Treat Marijuana Overdose Symptoms

Slight cases of “greening out” will usually go away on its own in a few hours without treatment. Keep an eye on the person and offer fluids and rest. Watch for symptoms that warrant further medical care such as; trouble breathing, pale skin color, fast heart rate and unresponsiveness. Take the person to the nearest emergency room or call 911.

Medical personnel will focus the treatment on alleviating the symptoms. They can give anti-anxiety medications, medications to control the heart rate and blood pressure. Intravenous fluids may be administered and they will be watched in a controlled environment with doctors standing by to handle any further health complications.

Can You Die from Marijuana Overdose?

Death Is Not Likely

There are actually very few documented cases of death by a marijuana overdose. For the most part, THC (the drug in marijuana) has never been thought of as a deadly drug. __In the few instances that death has occurred with marijuana use it has been attribute to other drug use or the health condition of the individual. THC is so low in potency that very large amounts would need to be taken to cause a dangerous overdose.

A fatal marijuana overdose in humans would take 40,000 times the amount of THC that it took to get them high in the first place. In comparison, it would only take 5 to 10 times the amount of alcohol to get drunk to kill a human. If you can get drunk on 3 beers, then 15 to 30 beers can cause death. If you inhale 3 puffs of marijuana smoke and get high, then you would have to take 120,000 puffs of marijuana smoke to be fatal. In this sense, it is nearly impossible to die from an overdose of marijuana. Again, it depends on the purity of the marijuana and the health status of the individual so these amounts may vary depending on the situation.

Support from A Scientific Study

There have been a number of scientific studies on the main chemical in marijuana, THC. This drug is a cannabinoid and in the field of science known as, tetrahydrocannabinol. These studies are pretty conclusive on the fact that THC is a “psychoactive” substance and can cause people to become high when ingested, but they have not found any evidence that it is toxic to the body.

In order to determine how much of a drug would be fatal, scientists came up with a formula known as “lethal dosage.” They then test a substance until 50% of the test animals in the lab die. The formula is known as the LD-50. With this formula, it shows that very small animals such as; rats and mice, can take in as much as 1000mg per kilogram before they die. Larger animals did not even reach the LD-50 even giving them as much as 3000mg per kilogram of body weight.

What this means is that a person who weighs 140 pounds or about 63 kilograms would need to take in over 4 pounds of marijuana at once to reach the same levels as the large animal study and this still would has not been proven to be a fatal dosage. These studies have been ongoing over 30 years and researchers have yet to see a severe adverse event with the drug.
