Nazi concentration camp badges. Nazi camp ID-emblems in a 1936 German illustration. Badge coding system[edit] The system of badges varied between the camps, and in the later stages of World War II, the use of badges dwindled in some camps, and became increasingly accidental in others. The following description is based on the badge coding system used before and during the early stages of the war in the Dachau concentration camp, which had one of the more elaborate coding systems. Shape was chosen by analogy with the common triangular road hazard signs in Germany that denote warnings to motorists. Single triangles[edit] People who wore the green and pink triangles were convicted in criminal courts and may have been transferred to the criminal prison systems after the camps were liberated.
Some period examples of the single triangle design at Nazi campsRed emblems of a political enemy on a Dachau detainee's clothing. Double triangles[edit] Other badges[edit] Many various markings and combinations existed. Postwar use[edit] Birth of a Book.

After a holiday break at home, many university and college students are heading back to school and into the home stretch of their postsecondary careers. But as the excitement of getting the degree and pursuing the career of their dreams gets closer, so does the one thing they may have stuffed to the back of their minds: debt, debt and more debt. For many, it’s a five-figure sum. Statistics Canada says the average debt for university and college graduates in 2005 ranged from $13,600 to $25,600. And about one in four graduates with government debt said they had difficulty repaying their loans.
“It’s a very daunting task when you have to look into how you’re going to get money to put away when you don’t have money to begin with,” says Sarah Bugeja, 22, who graduated with a media studies degree from the University of Western Ontario last year. With a hefty debt load of about $12,000 after putting herself through school, Ms. To do that, Ms. Next Steps.

Mysterious paper sculptures - Central Station Blog post. Those of you who don’t keep up with Edinburgh’s literary world through Twitter may have missed the recent spate of mysterious paper sculptures appearing around the city. Guardian article, 3rd March 2011. One day in March, staff at the Scottish Poetry Library came across a wonderful creation, left anonymously on a table in the library.
Carved from paper, mounted on a book and with a tag addressed to @byleaveswelive – the library’s Twitter account – reading: It started with your name @byleaveswelive and became a tree.… … We know that a library is so much more than a building full of books… a book is so much more than pages full of words.… This is for you in support of libraries, books, words, ideas….. a gesture (poetic maybe?) Next to the ‘poetree’ sat a paper egg lined with gold and a scatter of words which, when put together, make “A Trace of Wings” by Edwin Morgan.
It looked like this was a one-off, a beautiful and delicate piece of art created by a fan of the Poetry Library. The tag? X-Men: First Class: The Romantic Tragedy of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr « love and darkness and my side-arm. I'd like to point out that the positioning of McAvoy and Fassbender makes it look as if they could be holding hands. I had the pleasure of seeing X-Men: First Class in theatres last night – and it has been my most giddily anticipated comic book movie of the year. Thanks to the 90′s cartoon, I’ve been a nearly lifelong X-Men fan, and the relationship between Charles Xavier (Professor X) and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto) is the crux of everything X-Men. Frankly, the film was easily read as a story of two gay fathers raising their adopted children.
First Class is more or less an origins story of Professor X and Magento’s relationship, as well as the formation of Professor Xavier’s School for the Gifted, and hence the X-Men team itself. Additionally, the film shows the start of Magento’s Brotherhood – an organization/team that, although not directly opposing Xavier’s X-Men, has a different and competing philosophy. I’m of the opinion that that is laughably simplistic horseshit. Like this:
Linguaphiles: American Sign Language - Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay & Trans. As a follow-up to my last post asking about the sign for "Trans," here's a video with all the signs demonstrated. The trans sign seems to be a very regional thing. Responses I've recieved The linguaphiles say: Trans is the sign for recently, but flipped around. That is is, sign recently, then turn your finger to face the other way. FTM is F-T-M across the chest. I don't know MTF because I don't have any deaf MTF friends larkie larkie described it the way I sign it.
Sliverchick I'm seconding this just by remembering the correction given by my last ASL instructor vhsdit03 I was taught "trans" was the 'T' sign being used in the sign for "change" admettre Deaf_gay says: In the PNW we use a variant of the sign for sex (x by the ear... not the sign for intercourse). I know of no different signs to distinguish trannsexual and transgender ironmysandwich Sign for sex = letter 'x'(palm facing out) - touch next to ear then touch side of chin. karisitas kailen (That link is the video posted above.)

Super Mario Sunshine -- Bowser and the Princess's Love Affair Here's one of the great unanswered questions in the Mario mythos: who is the mother of all of Bowser's children?
There are eight of them in all, and Bowser bends over backwards to conquer random desert and water kingdoms for them to use as sandboxes. Yet, we've never seen a Queen Koopa. Someone had to spawn these wretched abominations. Super Mario Sunshine addresses this question head-on. Princess Peach. Bitch is straight-up kinky. And in case you think the boy was just confused or misspoke or that we're taking it out of context, watch the cut-scene yourself: There are plenty of appropriate reactions to a spiked turtle creature claiming you gave birth to him. ... and after a moment of shocked hesitation, says, "I'm your momma? " The kid replies, "Yeah, papa told me all about it. " But, no -- instead, Peach says, "So you're Bowser's son?
" Oh, the perils of magic mushrooms! That's right. Now imagine Princess Peach is on the bottom.
