Why do we wear poppies for Remembrance Day and what do the white poppies mean Phil Haigh Tuesday 30 Oct 2018 1236 pm 355 Shares Poppies are on sale across the country right now Picture SWNScom Poppies are such a staple of this time of year it can be easy to forget why exactly we all wear them on our jackets Remembrance Sunday is not far away 11 November and hundreds of thousands will already be wearing their poppies with pride ahead of the occasion What is the purple poppy appeal and where can I buy one The traditional red poppy is still the most popular option by a considerable stretch but the white poppy is also worn to make a different point Here is everything you need to know Poppies have been sold by the Royal British Legion for nearly 100 years Picture Getty Images At the end of World War One poppies grew on the battlefields specifically in Flanders Belgium This inspired the wellknown poem In Flanders Fields by John McRae which he wrote on 3 May 1915 and was first published in December of the same year In Flanders Fields by John McRae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row That mark our place and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below We are the Dead Short days ago We lived felt dawn saw sunset glow Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders fields Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep though poppies grow In Flanders fields The red poppies are not the only ones sol Picture REXShutterstock Since then poppies have become a way to remember those who lost their lives in the war Advertisement In 1921 The Royal British Legion was founded and donations were taken for poppy pins The original designs were made of silk and sold out extremely quickly raising 106000 The donations have continued and now millions of poppies are sold each year The money raised is used to help veterans who may have been affected adversely by fighting in wars Nowadays however the poppies are made in a factory where disabled exforces members work 2019 marks 100 years since the end of WWI and a large monument featuring a poppy on the top has been erected at the National Maritime Museum What is the meaning behind the white poppy The white poppy stands for Remembrance for victims of all wars not just those in which the British Armed Forces were involved and not just the wars resigned to history A commitment to peace and A refusal to celebrate or glamorise war itself The Royal British Legion is responsible for the distribution of poppies and they are made to commemorate the members of the Royal Armed Forces who died in war However the Peace Pledge Union who are responsible for the distribution of White Poppies explain that they differ from the Royal British Legion in that they recognise and commemorate the victims of all wars such as the civilians killed in the bombings of Dresden Hiroshima Baghdad and Kabul They are also working to change the way people commemorate and think about war with the white poppy Whats the white poppy all about Picture PA Wire The use of the white poppy began in 1926 for people who wanted to promote the end of all war Advertisement The Cooperative womens guild sold the white poppy from 1933 and in 1934 the Peace Pledge Union began distributing the alternative commemoration symbol The Royal British Legion has no official standpoint on the white poppy and insists that whether you wear a red white both or none at all as it is a matter of choice The Peace Pledge Union want to promote the idea that there are better ways to resolve conflict than through war and violence They also want to curb the attitude towards commemoration of war which paints war as noble and worth celebrating White poppies on sale at the Friends House in London ahead of Remembrance Day Picture PA Wire You can wear the white poppy around the same time you would normally wear the red poppy for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day around November 11 each year The Pledge Peace Union are responsible for the distribution of the white poppies and you can buy them online through their website but you will also see the alternative pop up in stores Online they will cost you 5 for a fivepack or you can buy as many as 100 for 60 MORE Mum calls for Halloween lollipop ban after daughter choked on a sweet MORE Man who sexually shamed his soninlaw is found with stash of bestiality Advertisement

the stage of the item construction itself Only such items have been included in the final forms of the tests where though the manipulation of response may seem obvious but the scoring in such cases can not be predicted Alternatively in few tests where the questions seem to be pretty straightforward we scientifically figure out if the person has randomly responded or manipulated the responses Can we do benchmarking for an organization for a specific role It is possible to do so for different job roles for your organization We follow a scientifically valid benchmarking process Please write to us and we would be glad to assist Is it possible to map an organizations competency framework to your assessments We have an exhaustive list of satisfied clients Please write to us for such a request and we would be glad to work out a solution for you How do we determine the thresholds for the proficiency levels for a norm group The thresholds for the proficiency levels are based on the normal probability distribution of scores for a particular norm group How are norms formed for any specific psychometric test The data obtained through across industries and across verticals of various types of organizations is updated in the Mettl database periodically Utmost care is taken such that the newly added data gets incorporated periodically while preparing the reports What if the reports generated for the psychometric assessments differ from the actual behavior attitude or aptitude of the person Human behavior is a projection of multiple psychological and environmental factors So any psychometric report should not be interpreted as a decisive predictor of a particular type of behavior or attitude These reports should be integrated with all other sources of information in reaching professional decisions about the person If you find any discrepancy in the reports from actual behavior of the person always refer to the other environmental physical and psychological factors driving that behavior This should be preferably done under supervision of qualified professionals only Use This Test How it works step 1 Add this test to your tests step 2 Share test link from your tests step

Tags african american flash fiction horror literature octavia butler poetry short story vampire zombies Octavia Butlers Fledgling as Undead Slave Narrative November 19 2013 Let me start by saying Fledgling is no horror novel Neither terror nor dread defines this world or drives its subjects as in the traditional horror novel If we must classify its genre I would argue that this is a novel of detection with a rather strange detective at the center Shori is a 53 year old vampire who looks to be about 10 years old She is black an experiment for her race of Ina vampires but at the start of the novel she is a feral animal badly beaten and with no memory of who or what she is All is explained in the opening lines I awoke to darkness I was hungrystarvingand I was in pain There was nothing in my world but hunger and pain no other people no other time no other feelings She must move out of this oceanic space stripped of all consciousnessquite like the Middle Passageto discover nature and heritage through instinct alone It turns out that someone has killed all of Shoris mother figures The vampire race to which she belongs is matrifocal As was their custom she had been living with her powerful mothers one of which was a black human woman The fact that the heritage she intuits to have brutally lost is cast as a kind of maternal origin irretrievable to her is a characteristic lament of the slave narrative So is the central theme of Shoris selfeducation as a form of coming into being of joining with a community of those with knowledge and power In fact I would go so far as to say that the plot thematizes murder communal belonging and species and racial difference as a superficial alibi The novels real purpose is to scrutinize matters of power and family It seeks new ways of organizing Aside from its plot Fledgling produces the same intellectual effects of most detective fiction It questions our foundations of knowledge Its point in doing so is to forward new possibilities for filial community and intimacy based on a weird ethics of symbiosisthe situation any strangely loving or needful vampire has with human donors The term Iosif names this mutual attachment of symbiosis yet much of the book undermines the applicability of that adjectivemutualsince the power in the relationship belongs disproportionately to the vampire Nevertheless Butlers vampires heap a great deal of ideological and moral concern onto the issue of caring for and even loving their humans Loving humans in fact takes on three oddly interrelated forms of intimacyas an expanded kinship network as sexual partnership and as food source So long as the indisputably superior master needs the worthy but serviceable slave the possibility exists not just for an ethics but for an eros of power Butlers erotic logic of power and care prevents her fictive society from teetering into the kind of racist postcolonial exploitative chaos more familiar to us Like Wesley Snipes character Blade Shori is a type of black experiment a melaninpowered vampire who can withstand the rays of the sun The revelation of her skin color difference is notable It comes from her first bitten familiar Wright who declares Ordinary sun exposure burns your skin even though youre black The weight of the declaration stuns Shori I stopped She tells us I had been about to protest that I was brown not black but before I could speak I understood what he meant Then his question triggered another memory I looked at him I think Im an experiment I think I can withstand the sun better thanothers of my kind I burn but I dont burn as fast as they do Its like an allergy we all have to the sun I dont know who the experimenters are though the ones who made me black 37 A sort of social comedy ensues as Shori is also the spitting image of a ten year old girl Thats not someone we expect to see taking care of an infighting harem of humans The irony of Shoris blackness and youth is mentioned by her favorite symbiot or human lover slash donor slash food sourcea tension by the way to which the novel relentlessly and slashingly returns Theodora says of her According to what Ive read youre supposed to be a tall handsome fully grown white man Just my luck But you must be a vampire How could you do this if you werent How could I let you do it How could it feel so good when it should be disgusting and painful And how could the wound heal so quickly and without scars 97 Like Alice Walkers heroines Shoris foremothers have been slated for extinction But like the human lovers on whom she feeds she too will heal Shori will overcome her lack of knowledge of who and what she is as half vampire or Ina and half black human in an act of heroism that recuperates the traumatic loss of her erased foremothersan emotional trajectory so poignantly similar to that of the standard nineteenth slave narrative Of course if we were to examine the vampire roots of Fledgling wed do well to start with more contemporary works like Ann Rices vampires especially Claudia a sexually active but preternaturally preadolescent vampire There is also Blade as I have mentioned or other movies about sexualized children like The Orphan or child vampires like Near Dark or Let the Right One In There is also much to recommend putting Fledgling in conversation with older horror classics such as Mary Shellys Frankenstein or Stokers Dracula at least as Stephen Arata sees Dracula as an occidental tourist in a Western empire whose norms of marriage consumption desire and property consolidation he both disrupts and distortedly mirrors When we begin to do this sort of extended comparison of Fledgling with other texts it resembles the real surprise is not that Octavia Butler would finalize her career with a vampire novel which meditates on African American themes of race struggle interracial tensions and master and slave dialectics but that more writers before her have not been doing so all along I want to pose this genre shift in terms of the horror trope of the undead honing in on a particular cultural formation of race and horror the race component in the very first zombie movie being so transparent If youll recall Ben the black hero of George Romeros 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead takes charge of the apocalyptic scenario created by the slow march of predating allwhite zombies He does so in such a way as to suggest perhaps all too explicitly his own familiarity with lynch mobs At one point he says of the zombies Dont worry about them I can handle them Unafraid to reflect its era the film also represents the struggle of an ethnic minority who must shoulder a disproportionate share of the labor involved in survivala spectacle that may have resonated with the filmgoers understanding of the Vietnam conflict and civil rights Like Hitchcocks The Birds which likewise represents the dissolution of a family as they struggle to barricade themselves against an unrelenting unimaginable threat Romeros seminal zombie film represents a symbolic American family led by a smart resourceful black man who tries against all odds to protect the living whites inside the big house from brainthirsty whites without But as we all know subsequent zombie films for a time fled from this reference to unsettled racial conflicts in the American unconscious preferring instead an unsubtle commodity critique in the parallel between the mindless consumption of middle class America and the torpid shuffle of the undead masses falling into fountains or getting stuck on escalators in shopping malls What was at the outset an irresolvable commentary on race becomes a safer kind of cultural fingerwagging at consumerism an unexceptional hobgoblin of media cynicism that would do little to thwart customers of zombie products But Id like to think that to the knowing and well informed viewer this initial undercurrent of racial unrest so potent in the first film persists as a residue in the current troping on gratuitous consumption or fears of mass infection or ecological disaster Race as an issue in other words continues to haunt the referential margins of the zombie narrative much like an undead Perhaps the vampire story as a genre has settled into a more comfortable set of critical protocols And perhaps the earliest cultural unspeakables continue to haunt it In Fledgling we see that they do and that they do in concert with a notsoburied set of racially inflected aestheticsa set of conventions comprising the basis of African American literary production from the slave narrative to its many neoincarnations These encompass so much more than simply Toni Morrisons Beloved or Ishmael Reeds Flight to Canada including such films as Training Day and Avatar all of which

Credit Card Spending Reselling Scammers Be Scamming My Experience With A PayPal Chargeback By Mark Ostermann Oct 14 2017 37 Tweet on Twitter New people are being targeted for Amex Platinum 100K Never miss out on the latest news deals Join over 7000 people subscribed to our daily newsletter and join the rapidly growing MtM Facebook community Dealing With A PayPal Chargeback Scammers on eBay and Amazon have been in the news a lot lately Whether it was the couple that scammed 12 million from Amazon using the two address method or the return a rock method the reports seem to be on the rise I have to admit I have been extremely lucky on eBay and I had never had a run in with a scammeruntil now Details of the Sale As you may have heard Amazon had a pretty amazing sale on Kindles not too long ago I even shared how I did selling them Well a week or so after posting my results I received a chargeback alert from PayPal When selling the Kindles I had run into a 3 different buyers with low or no feedback on eBay Of course this is a huge red flag I decided to be extra cautious with these buyers and document as much as possible I took pictures of the Kindles UPCs next to the prepaid shipping form The scammer in question had actually ordered two Kindles I made sure to send him a message that both would be in the same box even though he bought them separately He responded and agreed with combining the shipment which made me feel like he Turns out two of the three buyers started getting ratings over the next few days It seems like they were legit buyers just starting out The scammer never got another rating I usually hold off giving feedback on anyone with a score under 10 until a few weeks after they receive their item PayPal Notifies Me of Chargeback It had been a few weeks since the scammer received the item so I thought I was in the clear with my three eBay newbies Then I received the email from PayPal that there was a chargeback on one of the two kindles that I sold to the scammer He claimed that it was an unauthorized transaction Two things stuck out to me The first one was that he filed the claim with PayPal and not with eBay The second was that he didnt file them both at the same time I jumped into action right away I filled out the form on PayPal and submitted the following info The tracking number Date the scammer received the item The pictures I took of the UPC and the shipping slip together A screenshot showing the packing slip matched the PayPal confirmed address A copy of the message that I sent about both being in one box and his agreeing to it My thinking was that he may be trying to say he only received one of the two Kindles in the mail And that may have been why he only did a chargeback on one I also explained that I was a seasoned eBay seller and this was a 0 feedback buyer I am pretty sure that only proof of delivery was needed for this type of claim But in a situation like this I go with the better safe than sorry mantra At this point I decided to call eBay and alert them to the issue because the first one to talk with a live agent usually wins I wanted to make sure that eBay was aware of the issue and notate it on the second Kindle in case he filed that claim through eBay The rep did clarify that once a person files a claim with PayPal they can not file a claim with eBay The two companies seem to have a double jeopardy kind of rule A few hours later the chargeback on the second Kindle came through and I filled out the form and sent the same information as before Let the Wait Begin I gave it 12 weeks and didnt hear anything from PayPal Thinking this would be wrapped up in a week I started to grow a little impatient I decided giving PayPal a call wouldnt hurt After a brief hold I was informed that the scammer actually filed the chargeback with their credit card company vs through PayPal directly This made a lot of sense to me It explained why the chargebacks came through PayPal and not eBay and also why they came hours apart The PayPal rep also informed me that the address on the credit card matched the verified PayPal shipping address The scammer also had to go through PayPal verification to place the order For once the PayPal loop was a good thing haha And for the trifecta the IP address matched the shipping and credit card address The dude was sunk I knew at that point it was just a waiting game until I would get my money back PayPal still had a few weeks to respond to the credit card company according to the rep so it should be wrapped up by then I received two identical emails a few days ago wrapping up both cases Most Annoying Part of the Ordeal It is annoying to get scammed and you may think that having your funds tied up for three weeks may be the worst part That wasnt the case for me it was only 70 after all The worst part was that it made my account negative And the two options to make the balance positive were not the best I could pay off my negative balance with a credit card which would post instantly but it would be billed as a cash advance I am not sure why PayPal couldnt charge the standard 3 but that wasnt an option The other option was a bank transfer but it would take 23 days to post not ideal I went ahead and initiated the bank transfer The very next day I ran into an issue when a PPDG sale was going on PayPal would not let me complete the purchase with a negative balance I was able to get two single gift card purchases done before I hit a wall That is when my travel hacking brain kicked in and I transferred money from my wifes PayPal account to my own This wiped out the negative balance instantly A friend or family member transferring the money to your PayPal account seems to be the quickest way to to deal with a negative PayPal balance Conclusion At the end of the day the scammer lost and I won so chalk one up for the good guys I know some will say I should cancel the order of any 0 rated buyer I considered it but I didnt want to risk a negative feedback rating from the preemptive cancellation There is nothing in the eBay terms that allows this either We all started out at zero at some point and these were not expensive items so I figured maintaining a 100 feedback score was worth the risk It all worked out in the long run I would suggest keeping good records for any buyers with low feedback or any buyers that do not carry 100 feedback It will probably come in handy at some point I also think that winning these type of cases is much easier with eBay than it is with Amazon Let us know about your
