This is the second part in a series in which I am focusing on the personal lessons of self-care during family medical crisis.
Self-Care Buddy. My primary self-care buddy – my husband – was at home when I received the call. He held me when I was shaking. He helped me find things that I could not see but were right in front of me. He helped me stay calm and grounded in facts. He did everything I needed at the time and then some.
No Major Decisions. My husband/self-care buddy reminded me of something I teach in Field Traumatology about crises: this is not the time to make any major decisions. I agreed to defer major decisions whenever I can, and to discuss with him and those directly involved any major decisions that could not be deferred.
Social Media. I am a regular Facebook user. One of the first things I did was to put out the word to my closest network of family and friends and ask for prayers. At first I felt weird about putting such a personal matter into the larger social media context. That feeling gave way quickly as I started receiving messages of support. Those messages over the next few days were beacons of light nourishing me at the deepest levels. I have a deep sense of gratitude to those who rallied around me and my family. Thank you!
Technology. I cannot underscore enough the value of technology and social media during times of crisis. My husband loves technology and stays current with trends. Both daughter and husband had been encouraging me for a long time to give up my flip phone for more advanced technology. Last year I started with the iPod Touch. Having mastered that, I went this year for the iPhone. This communications tool kept me in touch with my family and social support network from the moment the crisis began.
Unexpected Support. My flight north had a very tight connection through Charlotte NC. I feared missing the second leg of my travel. I talked with the flight attendant, asking if someone towards the front of the plane might be willing to change seats with me. I tried to manage my anxiety as we began our initial descent and I was still at the back of the plane. Minutes before landing, the flight attendant told me there was a volunteer. An elderly gentleman traded seats with me.
The woman seated beside me was his wife, a hospice volunteer in the Jacksonville area who works with caregivers. She touched my arm as she talked, and underscored the importance of touch when one is in crisis. Her gentleness and kindness touched me but also reminded me of what I needed to do for DCR: be fully present. As we talked I noticed a piece of paper near my foot. It was her husband's boarding pass. I now had the name of the man who traded places with me. As soon as I can I will thank them in writing for helping me.
We're All Doing the Best We Can. During times of extreme stress it's common for people to become crabby or short in tone or forgetful or make errors in details. My first challenge came at my destination airport, when I discovered someone else's luggage in the back seat of my rental car. I had to walk back to the airport terminal in the cold at 11:30 p.m., dragging my bags behind me, fearful that the car rental agent may have left already since it was so late. The agent was on the phone as I approached her desk, talking to the person who had placed his luggage in the car next to the one he rented. Gee, he must have been really tired or stressed to not notice. The agent accompanied me back to the car, and I drove her back to the terminal I was not happy about the delay but was able to stay civil and grateful for her help.
I went to the hospital address given to me by a family member. DCR was not there. After a few minutes of confusion, reception kindly located DCR at another local hospital which was not far away. The correct address and GPS in hand led me to DCR's location.
I told these stories to several folks, partly because were it not for the circumstances they were amusing. It was when an apology was offered about the wrong address that I said "We're all doing the best we can." At times like these we need each other. Mistakes happen. And good self-care requires that we let them go.

The Seven Daughters of Eve was written by Bryan Sykes, Professor of Human Genetics at Oxford University. You may not have heard of him, but you will have heard about some of the projects he's been involved in, such as the discovery that a Stone Age body found recently in a melting glacier in the Alps has living relatives in Bournemouth, and that a 1000 year old skull in Cheddar Caves Somerset has direct descendants still living in the area – teaching at the local comprehensive school in fact. Sykes worked on both these projects, and gives full accounts of them in this book.
Sykes moved into the field of human genetics at quite an early point of the development of the subject, when genetic identification techniques were much less advanced than now. On a year's sabbatical he was flying from Los Angeles to Melbourne to start the second of two six month placements, and landed on the Cook Islands for a short holiday.
When he broke a bone, his vacation was extended, and this gave him thinking time. The upshot was that Sykes took blood samples back to Oxford., and carried out genetic testing which proved that the South Sea Islanders had arrived on the Pacific Islands from Asia. This was surprising as it meant they had sailed against the prevailing winds, and it also confounded the theories of Thor Heyerdahl, who had argued they had come from South America, and reconstructed their hypothetical voyage on the famous Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947.
In this way genetic testing had solved one of the most controversial and problematic questions about human origins and migrations. Sykes was able to go on and fill in the details of the Polynesian migrations by sampling genetic material from across the Pacific, showing how and at what time different voyages, ending up with the last, to New Zealand, had taken place. In The Seven Daughters of Eve he sets out to do the same for Europe.
Sykes writes in a very clear and simple style that is easily accessible to non scientists. He explains complex issues well, limiting the use of mathematics and making do with quite simple diagrams. In this way he is able to tell the personal story of his scientific life, at the same time as describing the growth of genetics as a science and the story of human population diversity.
In the process Sykes explains some of the basic facts about DNA, including the nature of mitochondrial DNA. He explains why maternal DNA is the most effective for tracing human migrations: mitochondrial DNA is passed down the female line, mutations occurring rarely, but on a fairly regular pattern, allowing researchers to estimate the times that population movements took place. In contrast, nucleic DNA changes at every generation as the sperm and the egg bring together DNA from two different people.
Sykes has the knack of bringing his story to life with real examples. As well as the two mentioned in paragraph one, both of which hit the news headlines, he also spends time discussing the role of DNA in trying to discover whether any children survived the assassination of Tsar Nicholas in 1918, a story that involved genetic profiling of Prince Phillip, a distant relative. The human dimension is enhanced by his habit of writing the story as if he is thinking through his ideas, so that you are allowed to share his sense of discovery.
This was a fascinating book that combines human interest stories with scientific sleuthing, and has some of the qualities of a good detective novel in places. The main theme of the book – The Seven Daughter of Eve – is taken up more fully in the last seven chapters, each of which imagines life for one of the seven women at a different time in human evolution. This was my least favourite part of the book. It's clear that Sykes is speculating here, and it's hard not to see this section as a total fiction. It lacks the hard evidence of early chapters, but at the same time lacks the grit and guts that a real writer of fiction might have brought to the stories. There was some general interest here, especially with respect to the changing environment during the prehistoric period, and the likely sites of early human activity in Europe, but that could have been explained more concisely.
If you have any interest in recent findings about the history and the migration patterns of mankind, you will probably have come into contact with some of the theories and ideas based on Sykes' work, and with the work of others in this field. Jared Diamond's Guns Germs and Steel is possibly the best known, and certainly a fascinating account of the human story. Alice Robert's TV programme for the BBC offers a more up to date view and one that is more easily accessible:
She also has written a book on this topic, published 10 years after Sykes' book, and so more up to date. I might read this too, or find something else on this topic, which I find really interesting, and would recommend.

For those who love complicated motifs for creating accent in their monotonous bedrooms, a fully enchanted pillowcase in floral prints can be great pick. Additionally, other complicated prints can be selected just for making the bed set feel "fuller". Even though they are only pillowcases, they can surely provide excellent impact towards the end result of bed décor. Most importantly, the pillowcase is supposed to blend finely with every other element within the room especially the bedding itself. After that it will make the bedroom the most comfortable room for having rest.

Black and White Village Trail
69 km / 43 miles
Originally conceived by David Gorvett as a route for car-drivers, the Trail provides a similar route for walkers through the villages between Leominster and Kington, an area characterised by the large number of timbered and half-timbered buildings. The landscape is generally undulating farmland, and provides good views of the surrounding hill ranges.

THE REPUBLICAN Party
On July 6, 1854, just after the anniversary of the nation, an anti-slavery state convention was held in Jackson, Michigan. The hot day forced the large crowd outside to a nearby oak grove. At this "Under the Oaks Convention" the first statewide candidates were selected for what would become the Republican Party.
United by a desire to abolish slavery, the Platform of the "Under the Oaks Convention" read: "…we will cooperate and be known as REPUBLICANS…" Prior to July, smaller groups had gathered in intimate settings like the schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin. However, the meeting in Jackson would be the first ever mass gathering of the Republican Party.
The name "Republican" was chosen, alluding to Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party and conveying a commitment to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Party of Freedom
Though popularized in a Thomas Nast cartoon, the GOP's elephant symbol originated during the 1860 campaign as a symbol of Republican strength. Republicans envisioned "free soil, free speech, free labor." Under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, the GOP became the Party of the Union as well.
President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, but it was the entire Republican Party who freed the slaves. The 1864 Republican National Convention called for the abolition of slavery, and Congressional Republicans passed the 13th Amendment unanimously, with only a few Democrat votes.
The early women's rights movement was solidly Republican, as it was a continuation of abolitionism. They were careful not to be overly partisan, but as did Susan B. Anthony, most suffragists favored the GOP. The 19th Amendment was written by a Republican senator and garnered greater support from Republicans than from Democrats.
Party of Prosperity
Low taxes, sound money, regulatory restraint: these were among the common sense economic policies established by the GOP that brought about decades of prosperity after the Civil War. Republicans encouraged innovation and the rule of law. Buttressed by Republican control in Congress, the McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and Taft administrations cleared away obstacles to economic growth.
President Dwight Eisenhower and congressional Republicans appreciated the fact that the private sector, not government, is the engine of wealth creation. With his bold tax-cutting agenda, President Ronald Reagan revived the economy after years of Democrat malaise.
Party of Vision
Theodore Roosevelt embodies our Party's traditional concern for the environment, but the Republican commitment to the environment actually goes back much further than that. For example, the world's first National Park, Yellowstone, was established during the Ulysses Grant administration.
President Eisenhower advocated groundbreaking civil rights legislation and vigorously enforced the Brown v Board of Education decision, sending the 101st Airborne to Little Rock when chaos erupted following integration at Central High.
Ronald Reagan explained the difference between Democrats and Republicans in a way that cannot be improved upon: "Two visions of the future, two fundamentally different ways of governing – their government of pessimism, fear, and limits, or ours of hope, confidence, and growth. Their government sees people only as members of groups. Ours serves all the people of America as individuals capable of greatness."
President George H.W. Bush championed community and volunteer organizations and the tremendous power they have for doing good. He famously described them as "a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky."
In the first decade of the 21st century, President George W. Bush made an unprecedented commitment to helping those in need beyond our shores through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), an aid program for countries devastated by HIV/AIDS. Since its inception, PEPFAR has saved over a million lives and currently provides over 5 million people with life-saving treatments.
Party of Strength
President Reagan and President George H.W. Bush led western democracies to victory over Soviet tyranny in the Cold War. The George W. Bush administration maintained the military second-to-none and projected that power in the fight against international terrorism.
Party of the Future
Drawing inspiration from our Party's history, today's Republicans believe individuals, not government, make the best decisions; all people are entitled to equal rights; and decisions are best made close to home.
At the state level, the nation's thirty Republican governors are making government more effective and efficient, spurring economic growth and striving to put more power in the hands of the people.
Nationally, Republicans recognize that the slow, bloated, top-down Washington bureaucracy is out-of-date in the 21st century. Our Party works to give Americans more choices—in health care, in education, in energy, and in the economy—and to free individuals and families from the intrusive overreach of federal bureaucrats.
The Party's core principles of freedom and equal opportunity are as relevant today as at our founding, and they are the roadmap for American renewal in a new and interconnected world.

Job Description
We are looking for an IT Support expert to join a growing London based media brand and be the sole person responsible for providing day to day user and infrastructure support for a small but expanding office.
This is a standalone role, where you will be the go-to person for any and every IT issue, and will involve a mix of reactive user support, proactive infrastructure support and project work. You will need to be comfortable working under your own initiative in a relatively small environment. This is a great opportunity to join a successful, forward thinking company operating in the film industry, and play a key role in ensuring their IT systems and processes are the best they can be.
The core focus of this role will be to take ownership of technical issues and manage them through to resolution. You will be the only person working in IT in the London office, and although you will have the support of the US team, the time difference means you will be working on your own for the bulk of the day. This means you must be comfortable using your initiative, planning your workload, and managing relationships with internal users and third party suppliers.
The role will also involve supporting the underlying infrastructure, and taking ownership of any technical projects that affect the London office. You will need to be able to juggle multiple tasks at any one time, and provide a high level of customer service to ensure users are happy at all times.
To be considered for this role you will need a proven track record of IT Support experience, along with demonstrable evidence in a standalone IT role, ideally in the media or entertainment industry. You will need a broad technical background encompassing Mac and PC technologies, including desktop and server infrastructure, AV and telephony systems. You will also need strong problem solving skills and the ability to take ownership of problems and work them through to a successful resolution.
In addition to your proven technical skills, you will also need the ability to work under your own initiative in a standalone role. You will need first class communication skills, a positive and proactive approach and a degree of flexibility in how you tackle different tasks.
This is a great opportunity to join a brilliant media company and play a key role in the delivery of a top notch IT service to the business. If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you. Please contact Will Fraser at Handle Recruitment for more information.

Letters to the Editor
Trump's taxes
During the presidential debate, Donald Trump boasted that he was smart when Hillary Clinton said that for one year, when his tax records were made public, he paid no income tax.
So if Trump was smart to pay nothing, using the government system to obtain money for his businesses, does that mean that we, the working class who paid our taxes, are stupid? Sure sounds like it to me.

INDIANAPOLIS - Dear Battle Buddy,
I know you have been thinking about how you want to transition your military skills to start a career in the private sector. I don't have a whole lot of time to write because I'm getting ready to get off my lunch break, but I wanted to give you some things to think about. Much of what I have written to you has to do with my own experience using a military resume as well as what our peers have encountered.
Network with people as much as you can. Who you know is more valuable than what you know. Sorry but most of the time, that's true. Maybe just applying to jobs via websites as much as you can will work out but spend time meeting the people that will get your resume.
Anytime you can find a recruiter from a company that has a job you want, contact them. See what they say. Tell them you applied to a position. Engage them. Tell them about how you have some really awesome skills and education that you know would benefit their business. Use LinkedIn to shine and reach out them.
Don't settle for just talking with a contractor that finds jobs for vets or your state VA employment person. They are only a tool in finding a career. Starting a career is your battle now. Not theirs. You have to be active constantly.
Before you start applying to different places, send your resume to someone in the private-sector HR world and ask for help in making your resume awesome. These are the prime people to ask what your resume should look like. What is the worst they could tell you? Remember, have thick skin.
Understand that many private-sector companies don't have time to translate a military resume. Why spend time reading your complex five-page resume about the bla bla fighter wing, when they can skip you and easily read about a guy that has always been in the private-sector market?
People aren't dying to find vets to fill jobs as you are led to believe. There isn't a siren that goes off when a veteran applies to a job. Don't assume that because you're military, they want you. There, I said it ... You have to bring attention to yourself.
Your greatest battle may be finding a job and explaining how you are relevant to a company. Be active, active, active. You have to own this. I believe in you. This battle can be long but if you ask for help and stay involved, you will be good to go!
I look forward to seeing you in your new uniform!

Donald Rumsfeld referred to Europe as "Old Europe" years ago in a speech and its something that has stuck in the back of my mind ever since. Population demographics of a country is tremendously important for the growth of a country and this is why SE Asia is still a fantastic place to be investment wise for the next 10-20 years, as I walk between the office and cafes/restaurants, I notice the average age of restaurant goers here are 60+, definitely not a good sign for the long term growth of Belgium nor most of Western Europe for that matter, this makes me curious as to how Russia looks when I'm there next week.
Over in the US, the Fed Chairman position, so Summers is out, markets have shifted to a risk-on environment for the past few days, will it last? What if Obama doesn't choose the next Fed Chairman quickly? Will things collapse again? No idea, and btw don't Fed Chairman's normally out-last Presidents in the US so why does Obama's viewpoint matter…?
Back in Thailand, with the infrastructure bill expected to be passed this week (19-20th), would there have been enough money thrown around all politicians to vote for the amendment and amnesty bill in Mr. T's favour? Or perhaps the Democrats are still going to try and block the infrastructure bill stating that its unconstitutional, hey I'm normally against the dems but if PT is asking for 40-50% of a project value as bribes then I'm quite happy the democrats are blocking this.
Quick thought on Thai telco's given their continued strong performance (parts of which we admittedly missed), we've noticed that the main carriers, especially True and DTAC are subsidising more and more of the popular phones, does this imply a shifting away from independent mobile phone retailers? What could the ramifications be for JMART/SAMART (SIM) ?

So, DiS: what would you have done..??
Meeting in London today with one of my main accounts which I am currently in the process of handing over to my colleague - let's call her Becky.
I like Becky; 3 or 4 years younger than me, sits opposite me at work and we have very similar characters, share a sense of humour and generally have the same outlook on life and work. If she was single I would have put money on us getting together, but she just got married last October so that's a no-go.
Accompanying us to this partner meeting was our boss - we'll call her Michelle. Michelle I also like: she's late 30s, I have a lot of respect for her abilities and happy with the way she manages me. We get on fine outside of work and often have a laugh about her hubby and his eccentric ways. So all good really.
(Stick with this team: it will be worth it)
Myself and Becky were due to meet Michelle at Starbucks at Victoria at 11am for a quick catch-up before the meeting. I arrived a few minutes early and was the first one there, so I had a quick look downstairs for a seat before deciding to try upstairs. Rather than climb all the way to the top I went up enough steps to get my eyes to floor level to enable me to peer round for a vacant table. I noted a guy in the corner asleep with his head on the table, a couple of women kissing in the other corner, and then a table of beardy hipsters having a cup of whatever the current cutting edge beverage is.
It was only after a few moments that my brain processed something I'd missed: the two women kissing at the corner table were Becky and Michelle.
So DiS: if you were me at that moment, what would you have done..??

Can't believe you left it so late tbh!moker this'd this
Anyway enough about what I *would* have done
WHAT DID YOU DO?TheoGB this'd this
Obviously this is the first chance I've had
In (partial) answer to your question, the first thing I did was think 'This'll make a cracking thread on DiS Social'!
I didn't think anyone would've
certainly not with a brush like that but I'm learning that I haven't a clue about anything anymore.
they are so good.
I have one with a cashmere brush. It's like exfoliating with felt.
What the older generation might refer to as 'necking'
I'd call it tonguing
your chat up lines need some work, john
(do people say chat up lines still?)
strode over, and to alleviate any awkwardness say "aha! i like a proper introduction"
kiss both of them in the same manner and continue with meeting.
Alternatively: check inventory.
- xylopwn this'd this
should have strode over
given a nice 'good morning!', kissed each of them passionately on the lips and began discussing the upcoming meeting
Probably would've carried on up the stairs
And carried on with the day like nothing had happened unless one of them brought it up.
If no-one mentioned it at all, it might lead to a regrettable drunken text (regrettable yet I'd be looking forward to it).
uh oh. hive mind is starting to kick in faster than the program anticipated
umlaut, how close are we to full convergence?
FULL CONVEЯGENCE APPЯOAchINgggg...
AbanDON DIS!!
fuck the thread is starting to meld!!!
wait... where's ohgood? IS HE IN THE ARCHIVES?
Gone straight up to them
and said celared my throat before sitting down.
I'm a prude and (whilst I appreciate there are exceptions) don't approve of workplace romances where one person manages the other. it skews reality and is unfair on everybody.
I couldn't really care about their respective cheating unless I knew their husbands)- that's their business.
I would definitely have made sure they saw me and that I had seen then that I had seen.
what did you do?
*and cleared my throat
I am trying to do this whilst also on a conf call. MISTAKE.
Going to accidentally slip off this call right now.
Yo, Becky! Michelle!

so this was some kind of test. The question is, how do you pass?
- Epimer this'd this
Was probably a strategy to get the table
Like they said to whoever was there, 'give us the table and we'll kiss for five minutes'.
Probably go back down the stairs
waited a moment and walked up clomping my feet so they knew someone was coming. Tbh I wouldn't want them to be embarrassed if I'd see something I shouldn't and it's not my place to care what they get up to.
It is
if your boss is shagging someone that's potentially a competitor of your in the workplace.
Good point.
If that case ratted them both out to the boss and reaped the rewards of a promotion.
without sounding naive
technically there's nothing else that can be inferred from their relationship other than the fact that they were kissing.
- UnicornPorn this'd this
What if they were still at it?
Try again? How loudly are you willing to clomp?
I've only got time for one clomping.
After that it's sit down next to them and say something witty.
- sadpunk, Lo-Pan, NickDS, UnicornPorn, and ElthamsmateOwen this'd this
is pretty much what I did.
After having time to digest the situation, I can see no good coming from it. And they are lucky: I am the world's best keeper of secrets so I don't think I'll mention it.
Apart from:
a. If I get shat on by my boss and need to use it as collateral

walked up to them with a big shit eating grin
put their coffees down on the table and said something smutty like "did you want.. cream with that"

what did you do?
Walk up and ask them if either of them wanted a coffee

but in real life i would just ignore it and enjoy the fact I had some gossip.....which is an empty enjoyment as there is no one to gossip with.
so many questions though
like how did they even get together, how long has it been going on for? Kind of amazed at their temerity though surely they must have thought there was a chance you could have wandered in at any moment.

I didn't actually know.
I trapped you in your own lie, like in Diagnosis Murder
was this all a lie?
tell me the beautiful lesbian office affair isn't a lie!!! give me something to believe in!
Nah - all true
I'm not that imaginative
In all seriousness though, you should choose Becky,
Michelle will only be trouble for you.
You might have a point there
I know a few, and they're all a bit rum
They timed it so you would see.
In a place you were meant to meet them, at the time you were meant to meet them. Their reason (for timing it thusly) is highly suspicious, and I suspect the drama of the perceived affair/naughtiness is 60% of what is driving the whole thing to happen. E.g if they were two strangers they wouldn't look twice.
So, 60% drama driven.
The other 40% is Becky is desperate to keep her job.
I wouldn't care if they were the same level on the ladder, but as one party is a boss, it is hella dodge and I would avoid talking about or acknowledging the topic until they inevitably bring it up themselves. (I think their respective husbands would be relatively happy about it )
This is probably all made up but that's my guess about it all.UnicornPorn this'd this
- thewarn, UnicornPorn, and foppyish this'd this
I've seen two homosexual affairs
from people in heterosexual marriages. Their spouses were not relatively happy, by any means. In both cases, the police had to get involved at one point or other and there were very ugly custody battles in the aftermath.
You're both right-I was projecting
I love/am obsessed with men so much I didn't consider the idea a lesbian affair could lead to a breakup, asI presumed it was all for the men's benefit. (ie only reason I personally would ever 'go there', which I generally wouldn't.) Those women of course may legitimately be into other women in a big way and this could negatively affect the marriage.
I'm genuinely puzzled by your thought process
as in even if this was the case why would there be a need to maintain appearances when their husbands weren't there?
so as becky is into the same things as you
do you actually fancy michelle more?
I would have `lapped it up`.
Bit vague on the specifics of what that practically entails at this point.
Hope that helps.Infinite_Jest this'd this
I think I would have asked for extra whipped cream on my coffee
and, well, I think you know the rest.
I would have
written "Becky and I were due to meet…", rather than "Myself and Becky were due to meet…".pieces_of_reece this'd this
Yeah. I was quite proud of my OP but I
fucked that one right up. Sorry, fellow pedants of DiS
if your son was at home
crying alone on his bedroom floor, cause he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money and his daddy's gone.
so we're smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now.
so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what I call life, hmmm
oh life
oh li-iiii-fe
oh life
doo do doo doo
If (as seems possible) Becky becomes single again
You still willing to wager that you're in with a decent shot?
Not sure now
I mean, who'd want to be in a relationship with a bisexual nymphomaniac?
anyway, what's the current situation on this, NoahVale?
Good bumping bruzzers
NV, how was the Christmas party with this pair of saucepots?ElthamsmateOwen this'd this
- NickDS this'd this
Though from the first paragraph it sounds like in the far depths of your mind your entertaining somehow getting involved with this naughty free love situation!
Also did you do a proper exaggerated double take cartoon style?
Re the OP: just supplying detail to add a little frisson to the situation
Re the double-take: almost certainly
The lesbian-affair cat is still in the bag although
I have found that I'm not the only person in the office who knows about it. Our admin manager - we'll call her Athena since she's Greek* – also cottoned on shortly after I did. I say 'cottoned on', it was more a case that Michelle seemed to be wanting to lure her into some sort of three-way, which she then mentioned to me. She said she'd had suspicions previously about Michelle and Becky's lengthy lunch breaks etc and then fitted together the pieces based on my reaction when she told me…
At the xmas do, Athena was unfortunate to be given the hotel room next to Becky's and was perturbed by the loud moaning noises that occurred at various points throughout the night. Suffice to say, she didn't believe it was due to food poisoning.
Michelle is currently on holiday in Dubai with her husband so nothing more to add for 2016; watch this space for further updates on this whole nest of gay vipers.
* Just looking at wiki: apparently there's a Greek goddess called Dike - she's the goddess of moral justice.
we'll call her Athena
since she has a habit of showing of her arse when she plays tennis.

Baby Shower!
- By M@ggie
- February 22, 2018
- No Comments
I have awesome friends, who threw me this awesome baby shower! I was kind of a pain about it because I didn't tell anyone I was pregnant for a very long time, for a multitude of reasons. So my friends couldn't send out invites until I did. I didn't want anything super gendered, I didn't want baby games, I didn't want to have to open presents. One of my friends said he went to a co-ed baby shower and all the women opened presents while the men watched TV. I didn't want that.
The shower was scheduled for September, and I finally made a Facebook post announcing things, and then went on vacation for a week so the excitement would die down before I got back.
And my awesome friends (Janine, Meredith, and Katie) surprised me with a theme they knew I would love – Halloween! Also they put out the ton of Micky and Minnie ears they had and let people wear fun hats – Doug and I got Janine and Ron's pirate hats.
Doug's brother and their wives actually came all the way from Pittsburgh, which was great too!
With John and Jane – not every day you get a Nobel Laureate to wear Mickey ears at your baby shower!

Organic and natural beauty products are slowly taking over from increasingly expensive mainstream brands, reports Dina Ezzat
Zeina enters a small ground-floor apartment in Dokki in Cairo in pursuit of an economical and thorough beauty experience and perfect hair, skin and body care.
"When I first heard about it earlier this year, I was hesitant to go through with the experience, but there were two reasons I decided to give it a go. First, I could no longer afford the beauty care at the salon I had previously attended where only top brand products are allowed, and second I was assured by friends who had been through the experience that the place was clean and only natural products were allowed," she said.
For her first appointment, Zeina decided to start with routine hair removal through the traditional caramel method rather than the more expensive wax one and a couple of scrubs that friends had recommended: a coffee scrub for the lower body and a lupine scrub for the face, neck and upper body.
Zeina was impressed by the results. "It really worked very well. It lacks the sleek sense of the scrubs offered by the top brands I used to be able to afford, and it doesn't have the nice scents of these expensive products, but the results were really impressive," she said.
For her second go a month later, Zeina got more treats: a feet scrub, an oil mask for the hair, a clay mask for the face and natural henna for the skin. "I am perfectly happy with the results. They are not less than what I used to get with more expensive beauty products even if the whole experience is less luxurious," she said.
The trend to go green on beauty has been gaining ground over the past year as one of the results of the devaluation of the currency that has caused increases in the prices of all imported beauty products, both top brands and ones available at pharmacies.
That said, the green beauty trend had also been finding its way prior to the introduction of the new economic reality that has forced many women to reconsider their beauty budgets. Dalia is one woman who has opted green for close to a decade now, even without having any financial concerns to address.
"I heard about it from my yoga trainer who said something about coconut oil. But I thought that sounded too greasy, and I was happy with my products which really were top-line," Dalia said. However, Dalia was also impressed with the ultra-radiant youthful skin and shining soft hair of her trainer.
"I thought I would give it a go. If I didn't like it, then it would be no big deal because the products were not that expensive in the first place," Dalia said. Five years down the road, Dalia has fully embraced a green selection of beauty products. "I get some from the local market, and I buy some from Europe and India where green beauty is really a big thing," she said.
The introduction of green beauty products in Egypt has been very slow, however. "When I first started, I was not at all sure how this would pick up. I had faith in what I was doing, but I was not sure if people would be willing to replace the big brands with my simple but efficient products," said Mona Eryan, founder of Nefertari, one the oldest and most successful natural beauty lines in Egypt.
A pharmacist by profession, Eryan had her first experience of assembling a simple olive oil soap bar for her daughter Chahira close to 20 years ago after her daughter had developed an allergy from an expensive hair shampoo.
"I was shocked to read the contents of this expensive shampoo that I had bought myself while on a trip overseas," Eryan said.
The fact that her own grandfather had argued for organic beauty products and that she herself was a pharmacist put Eryan in a perfect situation to replace her daughter's beauty line with natural products. Eryan then shared a few items with friends before she was encouraged to start a business that now boasts 500 beauty maintenance and enhancement products.
She takes issue with the advertisements of the top beauty brands that promise women youthful faces and bodies or the elimination of wrinkles and lines. "This is a myth. We can work on maintaining our skin, hair and body, but we ultimately have to accept that we age. The thing is to age gracefully, or rather slow down the visible effects of the aging process," she said.
"But this pragmatic approach would not work in a commercial. My products are the kind of thing that have to be tried and liked by someone and then recommended to someone else," she argued. "And it has worked this way, and we have been able to expand the products in our shops and are now exporting our beauty line products," she added.
Eman Hendi, co-founder of Healing Herbs, has found that "the kind of women who opt for organic beauty products are those who access information through the Internet. This is why we have been promoting our products through social media, and it has been working fine since we started a little under ten years ago."
Also a pharmacist by profession, Hendi's moment of inspiration on the path of green beauty came at the end of a homeopathy course. "The whole concept of alternative remedies is worth further exploration, not just to serve the purpose of beauty, which is ultimately about reducing the signs of aging," Hendi said.
The beginning was limited. But the success of the products "at a time when there were already several successful lines of natural beauty products made of Egyptian herbs was an indication of a growing trend that we could be party to," she added.
The initial phase was one of high demand for hair products. Then there was a second phase for products to help manage hair loss. The third phase was for skin protection products and for the treatment of facial issues like acne.
"Having opted for healing herbs, we decided to invest more in developing products that could help reduce the side effects of health problems like hair loss and facial spots," Hendi said.
Today, she is convinced that it is only a matter of time before green beauty takes a much larger share of the beauty market in Egypt. While the need to economise is certainly part of this expansion, it is not the prime driver.
"There is a whole trend of going green, including eating organic food, making food without preservatives and avoiding the use of products that have potentially dangerous components," Hendi said.

We now move into Plane Geometry and the concept of Curves of Constant Width. Actually, the main content of Gardner's article is captured in the wiki entry. His starting point is that you can use Reuleaux triangles in the place of wheels in a roller-based system, and a platform placed on top of the rollers will remain level and steady as the rollers rotate across a flat surface. So, it's not necessary to use circular wheels if you don't want to. (If you want pictures, go to the wiki article.)
The more interesting application of the Reuleaux triangle was in the Watts Brothers Tool Works patent for a drill and chuck system capable of drilling square holes. They also manufacture drill bits for pentagonal and hexagonal holes that have sharper corners. Although the outer edge of a curve of constant width is in contact with its bounding space at all times (as with a square for the Reuleaux triangle), the center of rotation moves around all over the place. That means that for the Watts square-hole bit, a special chuck is required to trace out the correct rotation to ensure that the hole actually comes out square. You can see the patents (filed in 1917) at Google patents: US1241175, US1241176 and US1241177.
The puzzle this time is based on the Kakeya Needle problem. What is the smallest convex area in which a line segment of length 1 can be rotated 360 degrees? (A convex figure is one in which a straight line, joining any two of its points, lies entirely on the figure. Examples include circles and squares.) Check the wiki article on Kakeya sets for an illustration of the Kakeya Needle.

So life has been crazily up and down lately. When I'm the rational, no-nonsense, plans-and-lists Jenna, I can write out why exactly I should be happy ... but my emotions don't always seem to match that. For example now: I have only 2 (semi-easy) finals left tomorrow, I have an Enactus team breakfast at Elmer's tomorrow morning, I have some fun (likely) summer plans coming together, Tiera is coming home tomorrow, and my family is going to Palm Desert for spring break. But I can't seem to muster up the enthusiasm this warrants. I know tomorrow after I nail these finals (hopefully) and set off for home, the excitement will hit, but it is unlike me to be so gray-feeling for so long.
I seem to be more introspective these days (months?), evaluating my motives and thoughts and feelings and goals; and it is tiring. I want to follow God's plan for my life but feel very pulled to follow the traditional plan that society urges. It seems every day I am told what I should seek after, what career I should take, what is logical and normal and good. But I don't want to fit that mold anymore and I know God has called me to another purpose. Still, it is going to take serious grace and confidence in Christ to shield against "the norms" of society, friends, family, etc. and pursue the unique plan He has for me. Plus I am always wondering whether this is me secretly trying to follow my own selfish wants. These days I am so glad for journaling because when I am doubting I can look back on times when God's will was so clear and bold and feel re-energized in this plan.
So I'm going to accept my feelings right now and hope that tomorrow wakes with a smile and brighter outlook. I tell myself that individual days will have their ups and downs and as long as my overall life trajectory is one of optimism and smiles, I am doing well. God never promised sunshine for 100% of the time, and as long as I walk with Him I can be promised of sunshine in the future -- and a shelter to hide under in times of rain.

I'm a twenty-something from the Pacific NW making home in new places as I follow where God leads.
My intent is to show Christ's love to the world and use business to solve some of the social problems we face: hunger, illiteracy, healthcare, economic hardship. For now, I'm in a stage of learning. A little adventuring, a few books, some good friends, and a whole lot of prayer and life runs on.

Turkey accession to the EU
I wonder if Turkey had been integrated to the EU 5 years ago if it would have reduced Greece's large military expenditure sufficiently relative to GDP to make a significant difference in the current crisis (which is solely because of a perceived threat from Turkey).

Eliminating the deficit, what would it take?
"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery."
US Federal Revenue is about 2.2 trillion, expenditures about 3.5 trillion.
The only way to cut expenditures is to cut expenditures, there is nothing to debate there.
Increasing revenue can be accomplished through economic growth and/or higher taxes.
If expenditures are cut 5% per year for the next 5 years (nominal terms) and revenue increased 3.5% per year for the next 5 years (nominal terms), we no longer have a deficit.
To really eliminate the deficit, Republicans need to accept that defense spending needs to decrease, and Democrats need to accept that entitlement programs are an actuarial disaster already happening and need to be reined in.
Doubt it will happen, it's always easier to spend other people's money.

As India dominates the Global IT sector and continue to be among fast growing economy, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) report says that India has a "serious" hunger problem and ranks 100th out of 119 countries on the global hunger index – behind North Korea, Bangladesh and Iraq.
The country's serious hunger level is driven by high child malnutrition and underlines need for stronger commitment to the social sector, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) said in its report.
India stood at 97th position in last year's rankings. "India is ranked 100th out of 119 countries, and has the third highest score in all of Asia — only Afghanistan and Pakistan are ranked worse," IFPRI said in a statement.
"At 31.4, India's 2017 GHI (Global Hunger Index) score is at the high end of the 'serious' category, and is one of the main factors pushing South Asia to the category of worst performing region on the GHI this year, followed closely by Africa South of the Sahara," it added.
As per the report, India ranks below many of its neighbouring countries such as China (29th rank), Nepal (72), Myanmar (77), Sri Lank (84) and Bangladesh (88). It is ahead of Pakistan (106) and Afghanistan (107). North Korea ranks 93rd while Iraq is at 78th position.
The GHI, now in its 12th year, ranks countries based on four key indicators — undernourishment, child mortality, child wasting and child stunting. The report ranked 119 countries in the developing world, nearly half of which have 'extremely alarming', 'alarming' or 'serious' hunger levels.
"India's high ranking on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) again this year brings to the fore the disturbing reality of the country's stubbornly high proportions of malnourished children," the statement said.
IFPRI pointed out that more than one-fifth of Indian children under five weigh too little for their height and over a third are too short for their age.
"Even with the massive scale up of national nutrition- focused programmes in India, drought and structural deficiencies have left large number of poor in India at risk of malnourishment in 2017," said P K Joshi, IFPRI Director for South Asia.
However, he said that the on-going efforts are expected to make significant changes in improving the existing situation.

The re-enactors make you believe that making candles the old fashioned way isn't so hard. And the traditional food available makes you think more about what it was like to be an early immigrant to this vast new world.
On Thanksgiving, the on-site restaurant, Latitude 41, offers a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all of the fixings. This could be a very special way to say thanks in a traditional way. Check out the menu here.

Rediscovering the Northeast in the Mountains of New Hampshire
Feeling good, but with a long way to go, the peaks recede behind me as every step takes me further along the vast ridgeline. Madison, Adams, Jefferson…Washington looms ahead, its summit cone sitting high above the rest of the sleeping giants that make up the Presidential Range. Wispy clouds roll over ridges and through saddles, following updrafts, moving eastward. Breathing deep I take in the scene. To the southwest the mighty Appalachian Mountains continue southward, while a tide of Appalachian Trail "through-hikers" glide past, ruddy cheeks, bearded smiles, and the confident stride of having walked 1,800 miles with only a few hundred more to go. To the southeast, the mountains give way and the land begins to gently recede to the ocean. It is from here that the Saco River begins its brief 136 mile journey to Saco Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Tearing through Crawford Notch, churning over boulders, and tumbling 1,400 feet in 18 miles before reaching North Conway where, after its fleeting engagement with youthful exuberance, it settles in for its slow meander to the sea.
It is here at this spot, where the Saco River shifts gears, that I decided to return to the Northeast, after having spent 12 years in the Rocky Mountain West, exploring ragged peaks and aspen filled valleys. 12 years ago I was fresh out of college looking for adventure and work in public land management. A survey of my options revealed what I perceived to be greener pastures to the west. Colorado, I thought, that's the place for me. It was, as it turns out, a place that I fit into quite nicely; recreation opportunities presented themselves at every turn, with a fresh crop of new arrivals like myself looking to forge new friendships through adventure. It was bliss; I hiked, I mountain biked, and I climbed, self assured that no place back east could hold a candle to the opportunities and access to recreation present in my new-found homeland.
Sometime in my early 30s this perspective began to shift when I ventured to North Conway during a trip to visit family back in Maine and explore the fabled granite ledges of the Mount Washington Valley. Here many of the earliest and most storied rock climbers in the U.S. cut their teeth climbing the cracks and subtly featured faces that characterize the local Conway granite. I was immediately captivated by the beauty of the Upper Saco River Valley and would continue to visit the region every time I ventured east. Slowly my idealized western narrative changed and I began thinking about how incredible it would be to call North Conway home. It had everything that I cherished about Colorado, without the jam-packed trails and edgy cyclists vying for the fastest STRAVA descent. Upon closer examination I also found a solid community of stalwart recreationists, dedicated to outdoor pursuits and willing to befriend new comers with a sincere interest in becoming an engaged member of the community.
When investigating putting down roots in the White Mountains I found many of the same challenges I was familiar with in the mountain communities of the west, namely tight job markets and limited options for affordable housing. These can be daunting hurdles for individuals seeking to relocate to places such as North Conway, where jobs tend to roll with the seasons, and short-term vacation rentals gobble up potential housing options. It's tempting to paint a Pollyanna picture here – I am after all writing a piece about why, in my mid-30s, I decided to make North Conway my home, but being honest about the challenges shouldn't undermine the positives. The fact is those with enough ambition, vision, determination and creativity can make a go of it here, and you don't have to be a mountain guide or shop owner to make it work.
Like an increasing number of people in their 20s and 30s I have found my way into work that affords me the opportunity to work remotely, and it is that ever growing subset of the workforce that has a real opportunity to carve out a satisfying life, where a day of work can be followed by an evening of outdoor play or meaningful civic engagement. It's a place where, if you identify a community need, you'll likely find a handful of your fellow local residents that feel the same way as you and are ready to lend a hand in turning ideas into reality. It's a place where, if you come to the table with a can do attitude and community spirit, you'll be met with the same. It's refreshing and it's real, and it's why I call it home.
Mike Morin is the Northeast Regional Director for the Access Fund, a national non-profit that works to keep climbing areas open and conserved across the United States. Mike's work takes him across the Northeast from Maine to Pennsylvania, where he assists local volunteers and land managers with preserving recreational access to cliff lines and boulderfields, while providing expertise on balancing recreational access with sound conservation strategies. To date, the Access Fund has provided support and guidance on multiple projects in New Hampshire including climbing area conservation projects in Rumney, North Conway, and Keene. Mike lives in North Conway with his wife Amanda.

How I work
How I work
The way I approach change starts with the right foundations. The change must have backing and sponsorship, a robust but agile plan, and the right people involved. If organisations don't already have these in place then I help set up these foundations.
Successful digital transformation also needs an appreciation of the culture and the forces at play. I assess how ready employee groups are for change. When you understand how malleable the culture is, then you can design a change approach that fits within that culture and tone of voice of each employee group. I help organisations design effective people change strategies.
The change vision needs to trigger the right emotional responses and that requires branding, storytelling and internal communication. Without hearts and minds, change is inefficient. Creating a brand, a narrative and collateral focused on the audience helps make the change stick. I help organisations tell their change story in a way that triggers the right emotional responses.

West Houston Street Hotel New York, New York
This project presented an opportunity to heal an unattractive urban scar and at the same time create a pair of gateway buildings to New York's historically significant SoHo District. Originally located on one site, between Mercer and Greene Streets, the project was expanded to include an adjacent site across Houston Street.
The design replicated nineteenth-century splendor with crisp twentieth-century technology. Because the SoHo District is a historical Landmarks District, a certificate of appropriateness was required by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The existing cast-iron buildings of SoHo were analyzed, and the project was given a large-scale urban presence using the local vocabulary of neighboring cast-iron buildings. Heavy-gauge metal panels were selected for spandrel profiles and columns would be extruded, both to be finished in a matte, mellow off-white surface to assimilate the original cast-iron painting intended to appear as stone.
The six-story buildings would have 150 hotel rooms with the ground floor planning for hotel services including a cafe-lounge, restaurant, and attendant retail. The two buildings were to be connected by an underground service passage.
When developer ownership changed principals, the hotel project was abandoned and revised to a residential structure.
The West Houston Street Hotel project was the winner of an AIA award in 1985.

This week, we have leaves in our science center. These activities might be a little late for some of you, but in Georgia, our leaves don't change color until late, late October or early November.
Leaf Symmetry
The wooden bowl contains unbreakable mirrors. I collected several leaves of different shapes and cut the leaves in half. I showed the children how to place the mirror on the cut edge of the leaf, and they will see what looks like a whole leaf.
Leaf Impressions
Children roll out the play dough flat like a pancake and press leaves into the play dough. When the leaves are removed, they see the imprint of the leaf with the veins. This works best when you press the back side of the leaf into the play dough. The same activity can be done using clay. Press the leaves into a slab of clay and allow it to dry. I've used Amaco Marblex self-hardening clay and it works well.
For more leaf and forest activities, check the Forest category page.

Fort Lauderdale, FL. – Beginning November 2, Southwest Airlines will have daily flights to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic from Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas Love Field, Washington National, and Chicago Midway. And, beginning December 20, United Airlines will offer Saturday service to Punta Cana from Houston.
The first JW Marriott has opened in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
