Is it safe for a very attractive young blonde woman to be in Tokyo?
Yes and no. Japan doesn't really take rape seriously, unless you are beaten in the head with bruise marks and have your private parts tornout, the cops aren't going to press charges. Rape is not taken seriously in Japan. If you go to a man's house as a friend, who is a Jap national, and he puts something in your drink, or gets overly aggressive and sleeps with you against your will but there is no obvious physical struggle or sign of rape, no charges will come. It is a major problem in Japan.Foreign student’s account of treatment in rape case points to gaps in Japan’s safety mythForeign student's account of treatment in rape case points to gaps in Japan's safety myth | The Japan Times "In brief, here’s what happened: In a situation where I had several times told a new acquaintance that I did not want to have sex, my rapist — another non-Japanese resident — took advantage of the fact I was wearing a skirt and — with both of us still fully dressed — penetrated me so quickly and unexpectedly that I did not have time to react or fight back. Neither did he need to resort to violence. As soon as I realized what was happening, I pushed him away and ran out of his apartment as fast as I could, screaming. He did not follow.""“If only he was a stranger who attacked you on the street . . . it would be a lot easier to investigate,” the officer sighed""“Do you really want him to be convicted? Do you really want him to serve a long sentence for what he has done?” "Before that, however, I did get a brief introduction to the Japanese legislation dealing with rape, courtesy of the officer. What I found was that my rape would most likely not be considered as such under Japanese law. In fact, not respecting my ‘no’ was not regarded as sufficient grounds to warrant punishment. The definition of rape according to Japanese law (Article 177 of the Penal Code) is as follows: “A person who, using violence or threats, has sexual intercourse with a female person over the age of 13 shall be guilty of rape and shall be punished with imprisonment of at least three years. The same shall apply to a person who has sexual intercourse with a female person under the age of 13.” "Also, I came to know that penetrating someone without a condom without permission, or knowingly transmitting an STD, is not punishable by any law in Japan.""Further, Japanese crime stats are not reliable, prosecutors have near 100% conviction rates because they only prosecute the most egregious crimes that are easily provable and people are often forced into confessions. If there is any chance of the criminal getting away the case won't be prosecuted and is counted as a non-crime usually."A man molests a young woman sitting next to him on a Japanese train, drags her to a restroom and rapes her while she sobs. Some 40 fellow passengers fail to intervene.The case, which came to light with the suspect's arrest last month, shocked the public and prompted soul-searching in the media, which said passengers may have told themselves it was a lovers' fight but should have helped the woman.Activists and lawyers say sentiment towards rape victims remains chilly in a society where many feel the woman may have led the man on, that she is lying or that she could have fought back.Campaigns by women's groups and legal changes have helped make it easier for rape victims in Japan to speak up and take legal action against perpetrators, but many still stay silent out of shame and fear of criticism."There is still widespread belief in 'rape myths'," said Masayo Niwa, an official at the Centre for Education and Support for Women, Japan, referring to the perception, contrary to law, that only assaults by strangers can be defined as "rape"."Victims don't report cases because they think society can't be trusted to believe them," she said.Some victims' support groups estimate that rape cases in Japan amounted to more than 10 times the National Police Agency's official figure of 1,948 last year.Sex crimes against bar hostesses or other women working in entertainment districts are treated especially lightly, and are seldom reported to support groups, activists say.Japanese property developer Joji Obara was sentenced to life in prison last month for serial rape of eight women and for drugging, raping and killing Australian bar hostess Carita Ridgway. But he was cleared of killing British bar hostess Lucie Blackman in a case that attracted international media attention."They did not take me and my boyfriend seriously," Samantha Termini, Ridgway's older sister and herself a former bar hostess, told a news conference of her initial efforts to get police to investigate Carita's death."Little sympathy for rape victims in Japan Rape is just not taken seriously in Japan.Follow safe practices, do not go out with Japanese men alone, do not walk alone late at night, head out and stick with westerners, and stay around western men if you expect Japanese men around.Do not take drinks or pills or drugs from Japanese men. Do not go into isolated places with them, and if they violate you scream loudly as possible and fight back violently, kick, scratch, bite, so it can be made clear it was a violent rape to observers.i will admit though, that typically Japanese men don't go for white women.

Have you ever asked someone (who later passed away) to give you proof of an afterlife? For example, a word/gesture that only you
In my late teens and early twenties, my boyfriend would always tell me he was going to die young or live forever. I would tell him to stop saying that because he couldn’t possibly live forever. He would laugh, so unaffected by the thought of dying young. So one night after he’d said it again while we were lying in bed I jabbed him in the ribs. He laughed yelled “ow!” and said what was that for? I told him every time he said it from now on I was going to poke him right between the ribs and make him wish he was dead. He laughed and turned on me, poking me in the ribs where I was most ticklish. He said “alright then, then after I’m good and young and dead I’m going to haunt your ass and jab you every time you annoy me!” This turned into a ridiculous sort of assaulting tickle fight. A night I remember fondly.A few months later, I was 21 and he was 24. We’d spent the day watching movies with my best friend. It was June 22, 2007. A beautiful summer Friday evening. We decided to go be outside somewhere. Enjoy the weather. So we gathered some friends and dogs and skateboards and took off. The first part of the evening was full of laughter and summer sweat. But less than two hours after we left my house, the night was full of screams and too much blood. We had been jumped on an elementary school playground in Baltimore County and in trying to protect me my boyfriend was brutally assaulted in front of me, beaten by three men with baseball bats.The moments between the actual attack and getting to shock trauma are flashes. There’s the flash of me holding his broken body, begging him not to leave me. Flashes of his grip on my hand weakening. His eyes rolling back into his head if I stopped talking to him long enough to scream at the two women who had stopped to call 911, demanding why it was taking so long. There’s the flash of the EMTs arriving, telling me not to let him go yet as they secured his neck. Me begging them to tell me he was going to be okay and their refusal to speak or look at me. Flashes of the wind of the helicopter landing and of him being loaded into it, me falling to the ground so hard my knees bled for days, praying to a god I didn’t even believe in. Flashes of flying down the highway to get to Hopkins. Apparently the entire way I rocked and sobbed “please don’t take him away from me,” though I don’t remember.I was numb and in shock and already experiencing PTSD from what I saw. I was questioned by police, shuffled from waiting room to interview room and back. Numb. Sticky. Staring at the blood on my hands I’d refused to let the firefighters wash off, so afraid they’d be washing him away for good. I sat in a small chair in the waiting area, covered in his vomit and so much blood that had poured from his broken body, namely the large opening in his skull, that it looked like motor oil. Looking back this time is a blur, I have only two clear memories of the wait to go see him. I remember a fly buzzing around the vomit on my knee. Then I remember running people. Crying people. I remember glancing up to see a very famous skateboarder sitting in the chair next me. Tears streaming down his face. I watched the tears for a moment before went back to staring at the fly on my knee.A day later while my boyfriend was in a drug induced coma I learned that at the exact moment my boyfriend was being jumped, Stephen Murray was taking his turn on the Baltimore stop of the BMX Dew Tour. He was flying through the air, attempting a double back flip, turning the wrong way and landing even worse on his neck. He was flown into shock trauma just seconds after my boyfriend. They didn’t know if either man would make it. I spent the next week numbly spending time with Stephen’s at the time wife, who was also named Melissa. We swapped pills we’d been prescribed to try to get through what was happening around us, chain smoked outside and she invited me over for spaghetti to the empty home the Dew Tour had set her up in down the street. I came to know his family and friends. In fact the moment I learned my boyfriend was having part of his skull removed to try to accommodate the swelling in his brain, I stepped off the elevator and there stood Stephen’s mother Cynthia and his brother. She took one look at my face and wrapped me in her arms. Holding me as I sobbed before asking in her unbelievably soothing English accent, “do you have a mum here?” I’ll never forget that woman, that hug or that voice. Warmth I latched onto in that cold sterile hallway.Stephen survived his accident a Quadriplegic and my boyfriend died July 10. Eighteen days after the attack and on my baby brother’s seventeenth birthday. The days after I barely remember. I recall I picked out the clothes he would be buried in but couldn’t go to the funeral. I couldn’t see him in a casket, the hospital had been bad enough. After the funeral many of my friends came to my door to check on me. One of them was one of the kindest most unbelievably genuine people I’d ever know, named Mark. Mark would continue to check on me every day after we the others all faded away, unsure how to talk to or be around me. But not Mark. He texted, called or just showed up for months to make sure I was at bare minimal surviving.Two weeks ago yesterday I stood at the podium at Mark’s viewing, looking down on him in his own casket, sharing that very story. While standing there I mentioned my boyfriend. I mentioned how he and Mark and I spent one summer together. I mentioned how Mark had been there for after the murder and I mentioned that they were together now.After I sat down and began listening to another person share a story about Mark, I thought back to Mark sitting next to me on my front step a month after the murder. He’d shown up at my door and dragged me out into the sun. I began crying that day. Mark jokingly told me to stop being a cry baby that my boyfriend would hate it. At that exact moment I felt Mark jab me between the ribs. I jumped and went to swat his hand away but his hands were in front of him. Mark looked at me funny and asked what was wrong. I told him what my boyfriend had said about poking me in the ribs. Mark laughed his huge laugh from his beautiful shit eating grin and said he totally believed my boyfriend was jabbing me in the ribs for being a cry baby. He’d have done the same thing he said before playfully shoving my shoulder and wrapping an arm around me.Two weeks ago yesterday I sat on a small love seat across from Mark in his casket with my current fiancé, in a room swollen full of young people and I thought back to that moment and I began to sob again. Next to me my fiancé shifted in his seat, my eyes were locked on Mark in his casket, and I felt a jab between my ribs. I flinched and looked to my fiancé, my eyes wide, but he was leaning away from me signNowing for a tissue. I looked back to Mark, remember his big shit eating grin saying of course it was my boyfriend jabbing me in the ribs for being a cry baby, he would do the same thing!And all I could do was smile.

What are some red flags that indicate a situation is becoming dangerous that only law enforcement officers would know?
Journalist Carsten Stroud went on patrol with police officers from departments across Canada, from Vancouver BC to Halifax NS. I don’t remember if he came to Newfoundland, but probably not; nobody ever does :(He described the following incident in the book he wrote about it, “The Blue Wall”.One night, in a major city in Canada - probably Toronto, but Stroud concealed or even changed the locations of events to ensure the cops he rode with wouldn’t come in for disciplinary action because of something he wrote - he was with two seasoned officers in a back alley very late at night/early in the ...

What is the legality behind the "Trespassers Will Be Shot" sign?
The legality is that there isn't any protected right to shoot trespassers unless you are a Federal cop on a Federal installation, and even then there are rules of engagement.That's for crossing your property lines. If someone breaks into your house, that's not trespassing, that's B & E. In most locations if you are inside the house, you have the right to protect yourself by the use of force, up to and including deadly force, against an intruder.Most locations—but not all. Some localities have ignorant laws requiring you to flee your own home instead of shooting the intruder. This is just about the stupidest law I can think of regarding self-defense, but it is on the books in many areas of the US. The best thing you can do is call your local authorities and be brought up to speed on your area's laws.Almost nowhere can you shoot a property boundary trespasser, even if he's cleaning out your barn with a U-Haul. The reasoning (sound reasoning, I might add) is that if you are inside the house, and someone is outside your house stealing your truck, you are typically in no imminent danger, thus shooting the bastard is assault, not self-defense. Now if he's shooting at your house, that's different. In most areas, you have no obligation to flee your home if you are being attacked within it, even if your attacker is outside, and have every right to shoot back. Just be sure to call 911 on your way to fetch your gun.You can put up the sign; I saw them all my childhood and teenage years, and I've even had a farmer unload some rock salt at me for boosting a watermelon from his patch 1/2-mile from his house. People think the signs are cutesie little decorations and get a good laugh from them, but the sign doesn't alter the legal reality. Shoot a property boundary trespasser, and you're both going to jail...and the charges against you will be the more serious.If he's not threatening you, you let him take the truck and call 911 first and your insurance man next.

What trivial knowledge might save your life one day?
1. Throwing up what looks like coffee grounds? Go directly to hospital.The contents of a dead man’s stomach.“If you vomit and it looks like coffee grounds. You need to get to a hospital. Your bleeding somewhere and its signNowing your stomach the partially digested blood comes up looking like coffee grounds.”2. Crocodiles are fast, but you can be fasted“Crocodiles are very fast in a straight line, but cannot turn well. If being chased by a croc, run in zig-zags.” 3. Don’t drown on dry land, and if you’re going to save someone, be prepared“If you ever almost drown to the point of throwing up water or passing out, even if you feel 100% fine, get to a hospital. Your lungs can unwittingly self-fill up with fluid over the next few hours.”“If someone is in trouble and you want to leap in to save them, make sure you have a way to get out yourself. I recently saw a video of a drowning man. Another man jumped in to try and save him. Instead both drowned.”4. Jammed lawnmower? Be extra carefulYou might not die, but you’ll never give the bird again either. (Photo by Therese Maher)“If the blades on your lawn mower ever become jammed or need cleaning, sharpening or whatever, do not flip the lawn mower over and just start working on them. Moving the blades around triggers the same action as pulling the rip cord in simple motors. You can actually start the mower by rotating its blades from underneath. Instead, if you need to work on the mower remove the spark plug so that there is no chance of the gas igniting.”5. Stabbed or impaled? Leave it in, don’t take it out.“If you’re stabbed/impaled by something, for the love of all that is good, do not pull it out! Obviously this doesn’t apply to splinters or other similar things. But too often you see people in movies get shot with an arrow in the leg, and the first thing they do is pull it out. If the arrow (or whatever the object is) has hit an artery or major vein, pulling it out could kill you in minutes. If the wound is serious enough to warrant a visit to the hospital, leave the object where it is, secure it in place with gauze (or clean towels, shirts, etc.) to help stop bleeding (and prevent it from shifting in transit), and just get to the hospital.”6. Flood and tidal wave advice: get away from there“If you’re at the beach and the ocean suddenly recedes, get to high ground. RIGHT NOW.”“Same goes if you’re in a canyon or valley and the water in the stream or river turns brown.” 7. Crash your car, save your lifeApparently lives were saved.“I read somewhere if a stranger gets in your car and tells you to take them somewhere drive into something like a lamp post or anything. You wont be useful to them anymore because the car is damaged and you’ve drawn attention to them by crashing the car. You’ll damage your car but you’ll have your life and your bank account. Someone at my college did this a few years ago, the guy told him to drive to the bank and withdraw all his money so he drove into a lamp post and saved himself.” – 8. Rohypnol? Salty.The salty taste of impending crimes.“Rohypnol has a salty taste to it.”9. Heartattack advice: The leading cause of death in Australia – save yourself, or someone else“Heart attacks do not always come with the classic symptoms, especially if you are a woman or have diabetes. If anything weird is going on with your heart, weird numbness in a part of your body (especially neck or arms), extreme fatigue that won’t go away with a nap, dizziness, etc., go to a hospital NOW.”“When having a heart attack, you don’t swallow asprin, you chew it, and swallow”. A lot of aspirin is enteric-coated, meaning they are absorbed in the small intestine hours after swallowing, long after you need it to kick in and inhibit clotting. If you’ve got soluble aspirin on your hands, you’re right to swallow it whole.If, in the midst of your heart attack, you don’t think to check the packet, maybe just chew regardless.10. Smoking.From the good old days, when smoking healed.“Don’t smoke. If you do smoke, stop.” 11. When poisoned, drinking might just save you!“If you accidentally drink something containing methanol (wood alcohol), which is in some antifreezes and is extremely poisonous, to hold you off until you get to the ER you can drink ethanol (regular drinking alcohol) which stops methanol from being turned into poison in your body. Still go to the ER, but if time is short, that can help immensely. Plus, drinking alcohol as a legitimate antidote is always fun.”12. And just remember…“That someone, somewhere, loves you and doesn’t want you gone.”

What was it like to serve in a battle tank in The Battle of Kursk?
Imagine, you're a Russian T-34 driver, your commander/gunner tells you to keep going no matter what or why. Before that, you slow down for your infantry pals to demount to take cover behind your tank's rear. Once you hear your top's excitement or fearful voice shouting: "Enemy tanks! Load fragmentation round! Ready armor piercing round in your hands!" while showing his loader open palm meaning HE then closed fist meaning AP. You hear your loader grunts as he loads the 1st round into the 76mm breech: "Ready!" Then holds an AP round on his lap. Your tank rocked but keeps rolling, you look through your slit and sees the leading Panzer’s left drive wheel flies off and trends goes with it. It looks strange and new, first time seeing that panzer, it looks big and has sloped armor on its front plus a long gun. At the same time, your loader sounds the breech is ready to be fired then immediately throws the empty shell out through his hatch to let shell gas not fill up turret, you can see the large red tracer round touches the Panther's front armor and bounces up into the air far away. It retaliates with a very fast round emiting green, your vehicle shakes and comes to stop. You hear screamings from the turret cage, you turn and look at your commander/gunner covering his head with bloody hands, then your loader who lost his legs then to your co-driver, best buddy for 2 years, upper torso isn't there. You see more light inside your tank. Then you feel hot and smell smokes, your tank engine is on fire! You try to unlock your heavy visor door, open it, you try to get out as soon as fast, drop to the ground. You hear lots of "clang-cling!" seeing small green tracers bouncing off your tank, trying to get you. You lie down, not knowing what to do. You look at another T-34, running over wounded soldiers, our own soldiers, not stopping, then its turret pops out of the hull, along with limbs of her crew throwing out of the hull while on fire. Other T-34 keeps rolling, some got destroyed. It’s like a field with fireplaces all over it. You feel ground shaking from co tinous artillery and mortar round impacts and loud clanking sounds from hundreds of T-34’s noisy tracks. You just saw your best friend's half of his body blown off, loader's upper legs exposed, then you hear your TC/gunner screaming while tank heats up. What happens next is unknown because you were shot in the head.What I described isn't even 10% of what it's like being a T-34 driver. To someone who pointed out my mistake (thank you!), readers are probably confused why there are 5 crew instead of 4 since I used terms people think there are actually a tank commander AND a gunner, not both. It’s a standard T-34 with driver, co-driver, loader and commander (acting as gunner too).Please note, I took some parts from memoirs of Russian tankers in WWII. The German's view on the Eastern Front is more gruesome because some Germans were scared of Russians due to their methods and tanks.I can recommend Wolfgang Faust's books on Kindle, they are memoirs so I'm not willing to consider what they say are to be facts. But hey, interesting perspective!Same goes for ‘T-34 in Action’ on Kindle. It’s a book about the writer who interviewed 12 T-34 tankers around 50–60 years after WWII so their memories may vary but at same time, provided perspectives not many have known or seen through it.

How did photographers touch up photographs before the invention of signNow Photoshop?
I can tell you exactly how photographs were retouched the day before signNow Photoshop was introduced, because I was there.During the 1980's I was a color separator. That is a job where one turns photographs into the film used to make printing plates for full color printing. I can tell you that in the years leading up to the introduction of Photoshop, photographers rarely, if ever, retouched photographs.There was an entire career for retouch artists, just as there was for color separators who were either cameramen or scanner operators. While I sometimes used a graphic arts camera (these were huge beasts, 2 room affairs where the lights, lens, bellows and copy board were in one room, and the vacuum board (for holding film) and ground glass (for focusing) were in another room, my forte was working with color scanners. A photographer's job was to produce an image that needed no retouching. When it did, typically an oversize print was made (at least twice the size needed for the final reproduction) and it would be airbrushed to perfection, then color separated for the printing plates. Color scanners were the most advanced pieces of equipment in the printing industry. A journeyman color separator earned as much as a journeyman 4 color pressman. While they were not used for photo retouching, they could shift colors and alter tones through the means of an analog computer. In other words, light was converted into an electrical signal that could then be manipulated with a matrix of potentiometers (volume controls) before sending the signal to a laser that exposed film for the color separations.Then the digital retouch workstations were introduced. We started seeing pictures of them in the graphic arts magazines. Attractive women standing next to computer towers while handsome men sat at workstations. The first three companies to introduce digital retouch workstations were Hell from Germany, Crossfield from Great Britain and Scitex from Israel. While Hell and Crossfield were both scanner manufacturers, Scitex began as a system for visually creating programs to run textile weaving machines. Running on minicomputers, including those from HP and DEC, these companies dominated the digital retouch world until they were unseated by signNow Photoshop during the 1990's.signNow acquired Photoshop from its author, Tom Knoll, around 1989. Steve Guttman was made the product manager, and together with Tom's brother John who was the "idea engine" behind Tom's code, they hit the road to promote this new product. One promotion tour was a breakfast at The Computer Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. This is where I first saw Photoshop and was given a beta copy by Steve. By then I was starting up the "Desktop Publishing Department" at a Boston area prepress shop. Color scanners and retouch workstations were so expensive that few printing companies could afford them, so they would farm that work out to specialty shops. I already knew how to retouch on Scitex and Hell systems, and I was working at that particular shop because they were innovative, and I wanted to have Crossfield under my belt as well, even though that opportunity never came to pass.By 1989, virtually all images were retouched on minicomputers. The photo retouch artists had been unseated and it was a dead-end career. At first, Photoshop was a toy. You couldn't do anything practical with it, but that was not because of the software, it was because the toolset was incomplete. You still needed a color Macintosh, a way to get images into Photoshop and a way to get them out. This is before digital cameras, and back then, desktop scanners were crappy devices that had little dynamic range and poor focus. Also, it didn't help that Photoshop only worked in RGB when the printing industry was based in CMYK (4 color files instead of 3). Still, a Photoshop workstation cost $10,000 compared to $250,000 or more for a minicomputer-based system. And when you came right down to it, Photoshop's tools were better, more creative.When we had meetings with the Scitex team and I told them about the potential of using Photoshop for color retouch on a Macintosh, they scoffed and dismissed me. They could see every reason why Photoshop was no threat. Because I was curious, I managed to figure out a way to get images from the Crossfield's PDP 11 hard drive into Photoshop going through a 9 track tape drive hooked to the Mac's scsi port. I could also use the same tape drive to get the images back to the Crossfield, and then generate film separations and a proof print. My intermediate software was Photoshop's main competitor, ColorStudio. That's right. Photoshop was not the only game in town. ColorStudio was, in some ways, a superior program. It handled CMYK and had vector drawing features similar to signNow Illustrator built in. But it crashed incessantly and was not as fast, which I believe is why Photoshop was the winner. Fractal's founders, Mark Zimmer and Tom Hedges, asked their marketing agency to get a group of us together to get our opinions on what it would take to beat Photoshop. Based somewhat on the result of that meeting, Fractal pivoted and ColorStudio became Fractal Painter.One day, I took a photograph of a golf club for an ad we were producing and used Photoshop to retouch out the type on the club's shaft. I then output it and pulled a proof along with a proof of the original. These were before and after images. I then showed them to a Scitex salseman and asked him to compare the images. He said, "so what?" I said, "I did this in Photoshop." His mouth fell open. That was the moment he realized that the threat of desktop publishing was quite real.It took a several years for Photoshop to take hold in the graphic arts industry. Scitex quietly invested in a start-up called The Color Center where we taught printing industry professionals how to integrate Macintosh computers and Photoshop into their workflows. Kodak opened The Center for Creative Imaging where we taught artists and photographers how to use Macintosh computers for creative graphics. Still, it wasn't Photoshop that caused printers and prepress houses to abandon their expensive, dedicated systems. It was digital cameras.Kodak came out with the first "professional" digital camera, the Kodak DCS. It incorporated a Nikon body with a digital back and an umbilical cord that ran to a heavy shoulder pack containing a bank of batteries and a hard drive. The resolution wasn't very high, around 1,024 x 768, if my memory serves. Priced at $27,000, they didn't sell very many. Soon, Apple, Canon, and others were producing consumer-grade digital cameras, but they still didn't matter much, because the quality was on par with crappy desktop scanners. The better option at that point was to shoot 35mm transparencies and send them off to a Kodak PhotoCD lab, where they used a high-speed scanner they developed as the analog to film processing to digitize and store your images in high resolution on a CD disc for about $1 per image. This gave early-adopters a way to skip the expensive color scanning process, which typically cost $35 for a minimum scan ( 2" x 3" or so). It worked out great for magazine and catalog producers. There were specialized desktop scanners by then that produced high quality images, but when Canon and Nikon started producing digital SLRs that used high-end lenses, the barrier to achieving quality for the masses was eliminated, the need for color separation scanners vanished, and the expensive workstations that were tied to them could now be replaced by Macintosh workstations. PhotoCD was short-lived because the entire industry moved to digital photography in a few short years.There was one more advancement that was tied to Photoshop's success, and that was the development of signNow Type Manager. Before ATM, producing quality typography was difficult to achieve because type displayed on the screen was bit-mapped. That meant big type looked like it was made of stacked legos. ATM solved the problem by rendering type on the screen from the postscript vector data, allowing type to be displayed in fine detail at any resolution and made it possible for designers to create their own typesetting. With the ability to set their own type and digital photography for creating their own digital photos, the promise of desktop publishing finally gave them a means to produce complete layouts with type, art, and photos.Photoshop became the de facto standard in image retouch, and combined with software from signNow, Aldus, and Quark, desktop publishing software displaced retouch artists, cameramen, film strippers, typesetters, paste-up artists, and probably several others that don't come to mind at the moment. Desktop publishing shifted the production work to the creatives rather than production specialists. There was some pretty ugly printing for a few years, but eventually, creatives became just as good at producing press-ready layouts as all of the specialists they replaced. Other retouch programs have come and gone, new ones come along, but Photoshop is the reigning king. Here's a neat video where Tom Knoll, John Knoll, Steve Guttman and Russell Brown (signNow Photoshop Product Evangelist) talk about the beginnings of Photoshop.

Is one's freedom to be an atheist in America secure?
I might have answered more positively last week, before Town of Greece v. Galloway. I really hate saying this, as I'm not a lawyer and I really hate it when amateurs come into my field to tell me I'm doing it all wrong, but this decision is so spectacularly asinine that yeah, I'm not convinced that the right to be an atheist is secure. This is, in a sense, a tiny chipping away at it. We'll be forced to listen to some prayers while Justice Kennedy tells us, "Oh, it's not really such a hardship, is it?" Maybe not. Except that next time it's going to be in the schools, and they're going to say, "Well, it's not exactly forcibly converting your children, now is it?" And then it will be, "Well, OK, we're teaching Christianity in all of the schools, but Judaism and Islam and Buddhism get 15 minutes during the last lecture, so it's all Fair and Balanced, right?"Slippery-slope fallacy, right? Maybe. Except that this decision is so flagrantly a violation of the Establishment Clause that it's not so much "slippery slope" as "this is what we could get away with this week and we intend to get away with more next week." I see no sign that Justice Kennedy knows where he intends to draw the line between prayer and proselytizing, and given the Supreme Court's decades-long cycle time, abuses will be rampant before anybody even gets a chance for him to weigh in. About the only hope is that we'll continue to elect Presidents who will nominate Supreme Court justices who will put a stop to that slippery slope. All of the present President's appointees voted against this, and I really don't think it's a stretch to say that the appointees of his recent opponent would have voted for it. Like I said, I would have been more optimistic last week. Regardless of the death-thoes of the elderly clinging desperately to the last shreds of their religious dominance, "none of the above" is growing quickly. That's not the same as "atheist", nor do I particularly want them to be, but "none of the above" is at least far less likely to want to waste my time and theirs with "oh it's purely ceremonial prayers that don't really affect you even though I could just as well have done it on my own and the only reason to do it in public is because I haven't read Matthew 6:5". I'm pretty sure that they're so desperate to appear religious in public precisely because they're well aware that they're on their way out, and well unaware that it's their very hypocrisy at the root of it.So I am, at least, secure enough that I will be safe to say, "This is a spectacularly bad decision." That, at least, is something. But I really believe that I'm going to have to continue to fight to ensure that it remains safe.
