Flush the Johns turned out to be all about publicity for the DA.
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
In my opinion, prostitution should be legal. It is so hypocritical for it to be illegal. Look at the Netherlands and how it is handled there. Making prostitution illegal is not going to change anyone’s natural or unnatural urges. It is just going to continue to publicly smear many reputations and waste the taxpayers money. Not a good stunt for someone looking to move up in public office to target this situation with a prostitution sting.
If you’re serious about losing weight, you need to know one thing…your insulin controls everything when it comes to gaining and losing body fat.
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
The four ‘foods’ that help with weight reduction are a surprise and quite simple. They are everyday items that some of us already consume. They help keep the body from storing carbs.
It is startling toPhotographers Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio, who also happen to be married, traveled around the world and met people from all walks of life.
During their time with these people, they asked them to pose for photographs with their daily diets in front of them to illustrate how much food they ate daily. The craziest part about the entire project is the caloric intake difference between people of different walks of life.
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
It is startling to witness the disparity in the caloric intake of people around the world.
If you were browsing the internet at all this past weekend, there’s a good chance you came across Google’s ubiquitous logo at some point during your travels. What you didn’t notice, however, is the fact that the Google changed logo was done by adjusting the letters in its logo ever so slightly—and it actually makes a pretty huge difference.
AFTER
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
I am not sure who it makes a big difference to. I could not even tell without being shown the before and after at almost the same time to see the movement.
A self-styled “information architect,” Massimo Vignelli gave Modernist shape to book covers, shopping bags, furniture, corporate logos and, famously, a subway map.
Massimo Vignelli untangled the NYC subway with his famous 1972 map
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
One of the greats of graphic design has left us. I will remember him for the NYC subway map which I treated like a collectors item when it was published.
He reportedly went to his neighbors’ house to get his little brother and it almost cost him his life.
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
This is my comment in response to the article, "I am hearing about so many attacks on people and even other animals by pit bulls. I know of a situation recently where a pit bull was allowed off its leash and attacked a service dog. I do not know yet if the service dog will survive. THIS IS INSANE. I agree with the comment below, "You will also not prevent the dog from being what he is genetically predisposed to be." Pit bulls are killing machines. It is their nature. They should be eliminated as pets or in any situation other than to do what they instinctively do, attack and kill."
Will we be in time to stop this insanity before anyone else is maimed or killed beside this breed of dog?
