Dear friends,

I like to put it up here because I would need your help for a first feedback-

Tlilli Tlapalli-la tinta negra y roja
The students at UCSB in Chicano Studies 1c focused on Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands. The topic we focused on was Tlilli Tlapalli, the red and black ink, which is way for a person to express themselves artistically. Wether it be painting, drawing, singing, dancing, literature and writing. As a result we created a film about a chicana who struggles to write a paper her professor assigned her. Her writing as a form of art is pushed to the limit as she struggles to find the words to express who she is. The students at UCSB in Chicano Studies 1c focused on Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands.

Are Millennials selfish or healthy?
What do you guys think, are the kids just graduating college and entering the work force totally self-absorbed, selfish babies? Should we do what they say in the video and coddle them and expect calls from their parents about their performance reviews? Do WE have to change how business operates to fit the way they are? Should they just suck it up and get with the program? If they don't will they just be poor or will we change so that we have a work force?
This is a confusing one that has me really thinking. What do you guys think, are the kids just graduating college and entering the work force totally self-absorbed, selfish babies? Shoul... more -
ID-protection ads come back to bite pitchman
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Todd Davis has dared criminals for two years to try stealing his identity: Ads for his fraud-prevention company, LifeLock, even offer his Social Security number next to his smiling mug.
Now, Lifelock customers in Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia are suing Davis, claiming his service didn't work as promised and he knew it wouldn't, because the service had failed even him.
Attorney David Paris said he found records of other people applying for or receiving driver's licenses at least 20 times using Davis' Social Security number, though some of the applications may have been rejected because data in them didn't match what the Social Security Administration had on file.
Davis acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press that his stunt has led to at least 87 instances in which people have tried to steal his identity, and one succeeded: a guy in Texas who duped an online payday loan operation last year into giving him $500 using Davis' Social Security number.
Paris said the fact Davis' records were compromised at all supports the claim that Tempe, Ariz.-based LifeLock doesn't provide the comprehensive protection its advertisements say it does.
Davis learned about the fraud in Texas when the payday-loan outfit called to collect on the loan, he said. He didn't get an alert beforehand because the company didn't go through one of the three major credit bureaus before approving the transaction.
Davis said it's possible driver's licenses have been issued to other people in his name because of the widespread availability of his personal information — and because of what he described as the flimsy mechanisms in place to report that kind of fraud.
Paris noted that LifeLock charges $10 a month to set fraud alerts with credit bureaus, even though consumers can do it themselves for free.
But Davis stands by his company and his advertising gimmick, which has appeared in newspapers and on billboards, radio and MTV. He even broadcasts it by bullhorn on walking tours through crowded downtowns.
"There's nothing on my actual credit report about uncollected funds, no outstanding tickets or warrants or anything," he said. "There's nothing to indicate my identity has been successfully compromised other than the one instance. I know I'm taking a slightly higher risk. But I'll take my risk for the tremendous benefit we're bringing to society and to consumers."
The services don't guard against many types of identity theft such as use of a stolen Social Security number on a job application or for medical services, or even the instance of an arrestee giving police a stolen Social Security number to shield his own identity.
LifeLock is also being sued in Arizona over its $1 million service guarantee, which the plaintiffs claim is misleading because it only covers a defect in LifeLock's service, and in California by the Experian credit bureau. Experian accuses LifeLock of deceiving consumers about the breadth of its protection and abusing the system for attaching fraud alerts to credit reports.

Culture Marketing
An acquaintance from back in the day recently Facebook befriended me.

Does biology or society have a stronger influence on the development of our gender...
Society, rather than biology, is the main determining factor in defining one's gender identity. Biological make up and physical traits are unique to each individual. Society tells us that if we possess certain physical components, then we need to behave according to the rules that it has determined as normal. Females, males, and those caught in between are told what to say, how to behave, and what thoughts and dreams are appropriate.
