I am kitty i - Blogi. And The Country With The Most Beautiful Women Is… There are computer programs that will superimpose a bunch of male or female faces to create an average composite of all the faces. Well, someone has done it for the native women of 41 countries from around the world. The image is too large to post here, so follow this link to judge the average national beauty of the women for yourself. This facial averaging algorithm has been around for a few years now. What jumps out is how attractive the average female face looks. Not smoking hot, but certainly bangable. The average female face falls somewhere around the 7 to 9 range on the United Federation of Planets’ recognized 1 to 10 scale. The reason an averaged female face is attractive is because the flaws are filtered out. Examining the results for the women from the 41 countries sampled in the image, some gaspingly impolite observations can be made. - Adjusted for race, the averaged woman is noticeably light-skinned.

. - The averaging program is very powerful. . - But not that powerful. Italy! Low Density Errors, is There an Answer? - Page 4. Quote: Centuries old capital?? You should pick up a history book. In the early 1800s Helsinki was a shitty town of a few thousand people. There were no stone buildings in the city.

You don't seem to know the history of your own country as I in my last post explained why British cities look the way they do and that it should be corrected now. You know I'm right and that bugs you. Small? Indeed. It is not denser, but if you think it's grander than good for you. Helsinki was modelled after continental cities. Add to that the very unique nationalist Jugend stil, 30s functionalism and later modernism. Btw, ever heard of Alvar Aalto?

In two centuries Helsinki has made it from a poor, muddy and backwards shanty town into one of the most livable cities in the world. London is vast and has a big dense city centre. I know, but that was not the point. Really? You keep comparing London to Barcelona. We aren't discussing city centres here. Indeed. Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy | Wait But Why.

Say hi to Lucy. Lucy is part of Generation Y, the generation born between the late 1970s and the mid 1990s. She's also part of a yuppie culture that makes up a large portion of Gen Y. I have a term for yuppies in the Gen Y age group -- I call them Gen Y Protagonists & Special Yuppies, or GYPSYs. A GYPSY is a unique brand of yuppie, one who thinks they are the main character of a very special story. So Lucy's enjoying her GYPSY life, and she's very pleased to be Lucy. Only issue is this one thing: Lucy's kind of unhappy. To get to the bottom of why, we need to define what makes someone happy or unhappy in the first place. It's pretty straightforward -- when the reality of someone's life is better than they had expected, they're happy. To provide some context, let's start by bringing Lucy's parents into the discussion: Lucy's parents were born in the '50s -- they're Baby Boomers.

After graduating from being insufferable hippies, Lucy's parents embarked on their careers.

Tätä en tietänyt « maailmanmenoa vapaassa maailmassa… Kalifornian viimeisissä vaaleissa marraskuun 2, 2010 yksi äänestyksen kohde oli Ehdotus 19 (Proposition 19) joka olisi tehnyt kannabiksen käytön tietyissä rajoissa lailliseksi ja verotettavaksi kaupalliseksi toiminnaksi. Ehdotus 19 ei mennyt läpi -54% äänesti sitä vastaan ja 46% sen puolesta. Olin yllättynyt vaalituloksesta -miksi posket lommolla pilveä imevä jengi ei kannata omia elintapojaan? Toisaalta terve ja toimiva markkinatalous sai aikaan sen, että molempien katsantokantojen kannattajat laittoivat rahojaan vaalimainontaan.

Kansantarut väittävät että vastustajien vaalikassoihin tuli paljon rahaa olutkauppiailta (beer distributors) (lähde 3). Ehkä näin on -laillinen kannabis luultavasti ei olisi hyvä juttu Sinebrykoffin kolleegoille. Kannabis ja kannabiksen käyttö on ja pysyy edelleen tiukasti laittomana Kaliforniassa. Paitsi että lääkekannabis (lähde 1) joko on laillista tai sitten ei. Minua on jo pitempään ihmetyttänyt tämä Vapaan Maailman jengin kannabissirkus. Buckminster Fuller Virtual Institute-HOME. Generation X gets really old: How do slackers have a midlife crisis?

In the 1993 movie “Falling Down,” Michael Douglas plays an angry white man whose midlife crisis has him nearly foaming at the mouth. Appalled by a brutal traffic jam and disorienting changes in his world, he flips out in a Korean liquor store, tangles with the homeless and construction workers, amassing an arsenal as he tries to make his way across town. His breakdown leaves casualties, makes the news — everyone notices. An eloquent latter-day equivalent, Noah Baumbach’s “Greenberg,” shows a meltdown going differently: The protagonist’s moment of crisis: Shrouded in an oversize ski vest, he wanders alone, quiet and pathetic, existentially lost on the edges of a party. Even his best friends don’t notice. Created nearly 20 years apart, the films illustrate two different generations hitting middle age. People heard it loud and clear when the baby boomers crossed over to midlife – you couldn’t avoid it. How is Generation X dealing with middle age? In this way, Xers are a lot like boomers.
