This could explain a lot... Look at so many of the angry women at the various womens' rallies recently - I can see why they might not be getting enough s*x and thus would be so irrationally angry.
[DailyMail] we're simply not making love as often as we used to. The National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles in 2013 showed the average couple aged between 16 and 44 had sex five times a month in 1990, four times in 2000 and just three times a month by 2010. What is only now becoming apparent, however, are the serious repercussions.
As well as impacting on our mood and mental health, experts now believe a lack of sex is partially responsible for the break-up of some marriages, and for the UK's increasing dependency on antidepressants and sleeping tablets.

A UK survey.
Significantly different demographics than US.
Coupling with self, random, closed circle, partner, same sex, different sex(18?).
Were the same participants surveyed each decade?

Some women lack a certain 'attractiveness' and perhaps have trouble encouraging men to couple with them, thus making them angry and motivating them to join together in rallies and demonstrations, deluding themselves they are after womens rights when really they just can't get laid. Of course it could be a feedback loop, with anger making them even less attractive, generating more anger, and so on.

I suspect a major reason why there is no interest in sex is after seeing someone like the pic below, one would lose all interest in sex. (Having to find your shrunken manhood afterward may also be a factor!)
#6
Maybe the anger is the source of the problem. Whole lot of angry people of all ages, sexes, proclivities, etc., spouting off about how outraged they all are, when not searching for something new to be angry about.

If you are a single male, ESPECIALLY if in college, you would be foolish not to have her sign release forms before you let her in your home or vehicle

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help VanHecke with medical expenses.
Silly girl! You should've signed up for Obamacare. Then all of your expenses would've been covered!

Rescuers said VanHecke was smart and "did everything right."
Yet they located her car before finding her. So other than getting the first rule of survival in stranded vehicle situation wrong she did everything else right.

11 miles?
She was only 11 miles from cell coverage?
That's an afternoon's walk at a sauntering pace!
This is winter. The Arizona temps are moderate.

Her posting / explanation:
Hey guys. Since everyone keeps asking, I'll post the explanation here.
I was on my way from the southern rim of the Grand canyon. I put Havasu Falls Trail Head into Google maps. I had 70 miles to empty not including reserves. I go down the highway leading from the rim and it says turn right before I thought it was the right road. I decided to trust Google and turn onto this ratchet dirt road. Google said I'd only be on it 40 miles before the next highway where I figured I could get gas well before the danger zone. Anywho. 35 miles in, it says to turn on a road that doesn't exist. I figured it may have washed a bit of the road away since they were primitive dirt roads. So. I turned anyway and figured I'd see the road momentarily. It was getting dark. I came up to a fence with no roads in sight. Panicked since gps stopped working, too. So I Panicked and tried to find the road again. Finally found it but was at 0 to empty. Parked by the first man made structure I found and decided to wait til daylight. Turns out my reserve was exhausted, too.
So I spent five days constructing various signs to help someone find me. Including an SOS sign out of rocks about four feet by ten feet. That wasn't working so I made a "HELP" sign on the third day that I got to about 20-30 feet tall for the letters. I also tried a signal fire but since everything was so dry, it burned too clean. I also made a road barricade after a truck driver drove past me without noticing. I had a flashing headlamp that I turned on every night. I rationed my food and water and when they found me I still had 16-18 days left. However, I got tired of waiting to be rescued.
I had no signal and no gps. So I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and hiked a total of 21-22 miles. I had to hike 11 miles east from my car just to get signal to call 911. Even then, the call dropped after 49 seconds and I had to pray they got enough info to find me. The helicopter found me about two hills away from my car on my hike back. Idk if it was a mile. Maybe less.
So they put me on the care flight and hooked me up to fluids and oxygen. On the bright side, I guess I got to cross riding in a helicopter off of my bucket list. Now I'm at a hotel in Flagstaff awaiting family and an escort. So yeah. Trauma and stuff.

So apparently she was returning to her car & was a short distance away from it when she was found.
She either did not have a spare tire, or was unaware of the huge and extremely visible amount of black smoke produced by a burning spare tire.

Question about txt msg in general: If you try to send one and don't have cell coverage at that very instant, will the cell phone keep "pinging" until it makes contact with the network, and then will it send its msg at the usual high bit rate typical of cell msgs? Sending txt msgs usually takes just a few seconds, no where near the 49 sec. mentioned.
I was once hiking in the canyon of the Rio Grande near Bandelier National Monument. Had no cell phone coverage for miles in any direction due to the canyonland features. At one point, I was suddenly able to see the Sandia ridgeline above Albuquerque - line of sight was about 40 miles away, and this only through a gap in the nearby mountains. At that very instant I received a text msg from Albuquerque (most likely from a cellular network transmitter on that distant ridge) that caused me to change my plans. A few feet further down the trail - no coverage at all.
Reading between the lines, lost person was using Google maps through the cell phone data system, an extremely bad choice in any remote area.
One remote area close to where I live -- many shorelines of the Great Lakes have NO coverage, even though they may be rather close to major cities. The networks don't bother installing transmitters out on the lakes.

It is my understanding that the 9-11 system does not accept text messages, Anguper Hupomosing9418.
When I try to send a text message and for some reason it does not get into the system, a message just pops up on my cell phone that the message failed. The phone does not keep trying to send it until it gets through.
#10
I've had the same problem before - Google Maps relies on an always-on connection and won't tell you where you are unless you have data. Even with offline maps enabled it still will freak out and not load.

She did a lot of things right, but she needed better situational awareness, which means she needed good paper maps. When all the wonderful electronics wink out you are back to basics.
I have a Delorme Inreach device that keeps track of my trips by sending an email to who I request, and when they open the website address, they get a graphic of the trip with waypoints every 10 minutes. I can also text message with Iridium, just like how the points are sent. Also have emergency button. It's a good thing. Also better to let someone know where you are going.
Here is a map of one of my son's snow machine trips. The contour map comes as part of the program.

[SCMP] Vietnam’s aviation authority has suspended three air traffic controllers, including one who fell asleep while on duty, for causing delays for two flights.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said in a statement on its website late Tuesday that it had recommended that the sleeping controller and one other controller also be fined.
The statement said the incident was a threat to safety, adding that the head of the air traffic control was also suspended.

The online Dan Tri newspaper reported that the crews on two flights of budget airline Vietjet Air-- one departing for South Korea and one arriving from Ho Chi Minh City -- could not contact the air traffic control at Cat Bi international airport in northern city of Hai Phong for 33 minutes on March 9.
The aviation authority was reviewing operations at Cat Bi air traffic control and said officials would implement measures to prevent a repeat of the incident.
The newspaper said one controller was absent while the main air traffic controller was sleeping. A technician was also suspended.
The flights were eventually able to depart and land successfully.

It's gotta be something. A very good friend and fellow musician from my college days at Auburn University moved to Los Angeles to persue a musical carier. He is now a card-carrying leftist. Us Rubes in flyover land just don't understand what's best for us.

Yes California has an abundance of home-grown crazy but I don't think the numbers are any higher percentage wise than usual, but we draw crazy in from other states and countries. WE also have a large population and ram people into a couple of large metro areas so the crazy is magnified.
[MyBroadBand] South Africa has applied to the United Nations Security Council to sell missiles worth R1.5 billion to Iran.
The Rapport newspaper reported that this will be the biggest deal yet for Denel’s Umkhonto surface-to-air missile system.
The Umkhonto vertical launch surface-to-air missile was developed for the SA Navy’s Meko A200 class frigates, and has been in service since 2001. The missile is high-velocity and infrared homing, providing defence against attacks from missiles and aircraft.
Although it is a surface-to-air missile, it is also capable of taking out stationary surface targets. The Umkhonto was designed with a 23kg warhead for high-kill probability, unlike other missile systems in its class.
This news follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding in December 2016 between Iran and South Africa to boost defence and military cooperation. According to the agreement, the countries will bolster cooperation in the fields of marine security and fighting organised crime.
Although Iran was removed from the United Nations’ list of countries to which no weapons can be provided, approval from the UN’s sanction committee is still needed for missile technology.
According to the Rapport, there is discomfort in political circles about South Africa’s plan to provide weapons to Iran.
For the inquiring mind: uMkhonto we Sizwe (abbreviated as MK, Xhosa pronunciation: [uˈmkʰonto we ˈsizwe], meaning "Spear of the Nation") was the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC), co-founded by Nelson Mandela in the wake of the Sharpeville massacre.
[Daily Caller] A United Kingdom (U.K.) government-funded study calls for adjusting a measurement used to determine obesity to correct for differences across ethnic groups. I'm gobsmacked! Something has surely changed.
The race-based adjustments lower the Body Mass Index (BMI) for children of African descent, making them seem thinner, while raising the BMI of children of South Asian descent. Scientists studied children of various ethnic groups between the ages of 4 and 12, and developed a race-based technique to "adjust" BMI definitions to ethnicity.
The new adjustments mean black children are less likely to be classified as overweight or obese than a white or Asian child with the same BMI. The researchers urge the adoption of these new altered standards for the entire U.K, as they "reflect body fat more accurately."
"Childhood obesity is a major public health challenge in the UK, and this research will give healthcare professionals extra help in making accurate judgements when deciding whether children, particularly of South Asian or Black African origin, are underweight, normal, overweight or very overweight (obese)," Mohammed Hudda, a researcher at University of London, said in a press statement.

BMI don't mean jack. It's nothing more than the old height weight charts with fancy new packaging and less useful because they've removed the body type (ectomorph, mesomorph, etc.) It's all a scam right up there with AGCC.
CNN -- House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes said Wednesday that President Donald Trump's personal communications may have been picked up by investigators through "incidental collection." I'm not sure what that means.
Nunes said at a news conference he discovered the potential surveillance of Trump himself while reviewing intelligence reports, but said it was not related to Russia. So The Donald may have been right after all.
"This is a normal, incidental collection, based on what I could collect," Nunes said. "This appears to be all legally collected foreign intelligence under" the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Nunes said he alerted House Speaker Paul Ryan about the collection and is traveling to the White House Wednesday afternoon.
"I'm actually alarmed by it," Nunes said.
Asked whether he felt vindicated by Nunes' comments, Trump told reporters in a brief exchange he felt "somewhat" vindicated.
Democrats on the committee appeared blindsided by Nunes' announcement. Rep. Jim Himes said he spoke with ranking Democratic member Adam Schiff, and that neither of them are familiar with the evidence Nunes is citing. Heads in the sand.
Nunes is chairing the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian meddling into the US election last year. Two weeks ago, Trump asked Congress to investigate whether Trump Tower was wiretapped by his predecessor, then-President Barack Obama.
On Monday, Nunes' committee held a hearing featuring FBI Director James Comey and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers. At that hearing, Comey confirmed for the first time that his agency is investigating possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign and whether any crimes may have been committed during last year's election campaign as part of a wider probe into the hacking of Democratic servers and the Clinton campaign.
Also at that hearing, Comey said he had seen no evidence so far of the specific allegation of wiretapping Trump Tower.
Nunes did not know whether the "incidental collection" happened at Trump Tower, and could not say for certain whether Trump's communications were directly collected.
Nunes said the collection included Trump transition officials and that it happened after the election. He said he could not say whether it meant that Trump was "spied on"
"I'm not going to get into legal definitions, but clearly I have a concern," he said.
If there were legitimate concerns that Candidate Trump and his team were engaged with the Russian government to illegally interfere with the 2016 elections, exploring that would have been legitimate, it seems to me. But barring information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the American citizens involved, unmasking their names in leaks to the press and warnings to foreign governments and foreign intelligence services seems to me to be exactly that interference in the election process by American intelligence and law enforcement staff that they were accusing Russia and Mr. Trump of. Winkle them out and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
Nunez sez a 'FISA warrant was involved and everything was legal.' That really does point to collection against US Persons (USP).
I seriously doubt the term "oh well, shi* simply happens" can be found anywhere in the lexicon of General Mike Flynn. My guess, and it's only a guess mind you, Mike Flynn has been very busy as work discovering precisely went wrong.

[DAWN] A woman was rubbed out in a suspected honour killing case in Sindh's Qambar Shahdadkot district on Wednesday, police told Dawn.
Bahram Station House Officer (SHO) Meboob Ali Mithiani said that Koran Ali Chandio allegedly bumped off his 27-year-old wife using a pistol over 'honour'.
Mithiani said that the accused suspected his wife was having an affair with someone in the same village, adding that a First Information Report (FIR) for the murder has yet to be filed.
"No FIR has been registered yet. If no one comes forward to lodge the case within the next two days, we will register the FIR against the accused on behalf of the state," the SHO said.
He added that following a postmortem at a local hospital, the woman's body was handed over to her relatives.
The SHO added that the accused was on the lam and a search was ongoing in the area.

[Wash Examiner] U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement unions are cheering President Trump's plan to hire 15,000 new agents, claiming that he has boosted sagging morale by promising to finally help the outnumbered immigration officers -- and let them do their jobs.
"During my career at ICE I have never had the opportunity to commend a sitting U.S. president, or DHS secretary, but I'm doing so today. Amidst all the hammering from the media, and protests from special interest groups, President Trump and Secretary (John) Kelly haven't wavered, but instead continued steadfast in their support of the rule of law and our officers in the field," said Chris Crane president of the union representing ICE.
In prepared testimony for a Wednesday Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing to support the new Trump hiring project, Crane revealed just how outnumbered ICE's Enforcement and Removal force, responsible for seizing and deporting criminal illegals, is.
All flat maps are inaccurate in different ways -- only globes tell the truth. So the question becomes, what different perspective is this "more accurate" projection intended to teach, and would the parents agree if they knew?

Mmmm...grid cells of uniform size? I suppose that makes it easier to compute distances, if the grid were representative of distance, which it's not.
Relative land mass, uhhh maybe, but you don't need a grid for that. It's not mass at all.
