She is an American former civil rights activist known for being exposed as Caucasian while falsely claiming to be a black woman. Dolezal was president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter in Spokane, Washington, from February 7, 2014 until June 15, 2015 when she resigned amid suspicion she had lied about nine alleged hate crimes against her. She received further public scrutiny when her white parents publicly stated that Dolezal was a white woman passing as black. In 2017, in an interview with Billboard regarding her new image, Miley Cyrus criticized what she considered to be overly vulgar aspects of hip hop culture while expressing her admiration for the song "Humble" by Kendrick Lamar. This was met with backlash from people who felt Cyrus has a history of appropriating hip hop culture. On April 2019, Rihanna's cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty received criticism on social media for naming one of its highlighters "Geisha Chic", with some users seeing it as an example of the fetishization of Geishas in America. In response, the brand issued an apology and pulled the highlighter until it could be renamed. Rihanna herself received some accusations of cultural appropriation on Twitter and Instagram in July the very same year after dressing up in Ancient Chinese-styled attire for a Harper's Bazaar photoshoot, in spite of a positive reception from netizens in China. In June 2019, Kim Kardashian West was accused of cultural appropriation after announcing her shapewear line KIMONO, a pun on her first name. Critics argued that her goal to trademark the term was disrespectful to Japanese culture, as her filing for the international trademarking of the term "kimono" would prevent Japanese people from selling their traditional garb under the same name. The issue sparked the emergence of a Twitter hashtag, #KimOhNo, where Japanese people - both native and diaspora - tried to explain the cultural significance the kimono has in their culture. Additionally, a petition was started on Change.org, hoping to prevent West from gaining the trademark. The petitioner, Sono Fukunishi, argued that allowing West to obtain the trademark would allow foreigners to begin associating the original kimono with underwear. West later received a letter from Kyoto's mayor, Daisaku Kadokawa, asking her to reconsider trademarking the name. Kyoto is considered to be the kimono capital of the world. West has since announced to rebrand her shapewear under the name SKIMS ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 07:38:35 -0400 From: "Water Purification" Subject: 987 Liters of Water In Your Back Pocket 987 Liters of Water In Your Back Pocket http://bathremodel.link/SnkNT1aetX7PXZCk2tjGpOLXAY1AzmCjXUW2HVuH88KnIkWp http://bathremodel.link/GwYwYD6_ON88TgXY9iAt2cu2hs0KxwwsuR4DYXtVnaQWKyqY DryFoam beads have multiple coatings that allow them to remain in direct contact with polar and non-polar hydrocarbons and have additional coatings that are triggered upon high temperatures such as a flame from above the flammable liquid that swell and provide a thermal and vapor block preventing ignition of the flammable liquid below the beads. DryFoam is listed for both polar and non-polar flammable liquids and has been tested on multiple hydrocarbons including: Ethanol Gasoline Heptane Crude oils Diesel Acetone DryFoam was designed for arctic applications of stored flammable liquids where water-based products are not feasible. While it was designed for the arctic, it has advantages over water-based foams particularly whenever water supply is limited including desert areas, or where the water supply can't provide the required fire foam for full surface fire protection. In particular full surface fire protection requires a significant amount of water and foam to be applied which is avoided with DryFoam. As a passive fire protection product it is already situated where it is needed on the flammable liquid, it works without any fire detection or delivery mechanisms including pumps, pipes or valving. It is UL listed for applications where the flammable liquid is stored in vessels or tanks. In addition to flammable liquids, DryFoam has been successfully tested with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to mitigate against a Vapor Cloud Explosion (VCE). In those applications, DryFoam reduces the volatile vapor cloud resulting from a large spill up to 90% using only passive means. Testing involved a pit representing a sump pre-filled with DryFoam beads positioned to receive spillage from a LNG container. In the tests, cryogenic liquid LNG was poured onto the beads. The DryFoam beads allowed the LNG to flow between them to the bottom of the vessel and the beads floated on top, providing the passive vapor suppression and thermal insulation. The residual vapors were ignited and the thermal radiance measured from multiple angles and compared with radiant heat from uncontrolled tests. Similar testing with LPG resulted in similar results. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #5048 **********************************************
