 I’m okay with and what I’m not. If she decides to disregard it then she has ended the relationship. 

You can have that mentality of “nobody is gonna control me or tell me what to do in a relationship “ and that’s cool but what’s not cool is causing your SO unnecessary emotional stress just for the sake of maintaining that prerogative. That’s where the respect part comes in. 

If I set that boundary, it’s not for the purpose of me being controlling, it’s because crossing that boundary would be hurtful to me. I feel like this all goes hand in hand with building the foundation of your relationship. Sharing these values and ideas about what’s acceptable and what’s not. 

This whole situation is mind boggling to me.Ludian, a remote county in Northeast Yunnan, experienced a 6.1-magnitude earthquake yesterday. No AsiaTravel travelers or future trips are affected.
On August 3rd, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck a rural part of Northeastern Yunnan. The epicenter was in a mountainous region largely covered by agricultural lands, far from the tourist centers of Dali and Lijiang in the South. No AsiaTravel traveler or future trips will be affected by the earthquake.There have been reports of at least 381 casualties so far. We hope more lives can be saved through the rescue effort.
A total of 7,000 rescuers are working on disaster relief. Among those, 5,000 soldiers belonging to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) from Chengdu are searching for more survivors and moving villagers out of the region. Government troops and the Red Cross Society of China also reacted immediately, distributing thousands of relief supplies and equipment. Relief goods were quickly handed out to people in the affected area. The surrounding villages and neighboring provinces have suffered a lesser degree of damage.
If you have an upcoming trip with us to Yunnan, Sichuan, or Guizhou, your AsiaTravel travel consultant will get in touch with you.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Yes, this is the right tool with visible effect. Unfortunately it does not have effect on 'localhost ping' statistics.
If you're just testing HTTP traffic the Fiddler Web Debugger is pretty easy to use. You just select the stream, flip to the AutoResponder tab, select "Add Rule", then right click on the rule and select "Set Latency".
Sorry, it's not http traffic.
@nitro2k01 then you should edit your question and include the information so people don't need to go hunting in comments of answers to get all of the information.
I have edited the question now, but I would think that if people make extra assumptions about the question that are not mentioned in the post, that's their prerogative.

In the 1970s I attended several conventions where Randall Garrett was on the program. I never personally interacted with him. Not even when I was co-chair of the 1978 Westercon, where we had to discourage Garrett from signing drinks to the convention’s master account. Somebody else got to bell that cat.
Note that Randall Garrett hated to be called “Randy”. Not that it really matters much at this point, but I still feel obliged to point it out.
I’d like to hear more about that. Because an awful lot of people who knew him did it.
He even used the name himself at times — Progress Report #1 of the 1957 Worldcon shows “Randy Garrett” is the name he used when he bought his membership.
A lovely photo, and the detail reminds one of the city's past.
Really great details here, my friend!
What a great capture of these impressive details. V.
Love the elaborate carvings. They contrast nicely with the gracefully curved windows. Outstanding photo. V.
Very well composed and detailed image.
Excellent detail in this fine capture!!
C’est une belle architecture et merci pour l’explication.
Very interesting ornamentation and brickwork with all these holes. "V"Two of the Hunter region’s prominent businesswomen have come together to combine their skills in HR and innovation to offer a new PR program for lawyers, accountants and finance professionals.
Founder of UtopiaX and Hunter Innovation Festival, Christina Gerakiteys, and CEO of Being More Human and Human Power, Michelle Crawford have created the Your Relevant Future program.
The program, which kicks off in Wickham this June, will support the Hunter’s lawyers, accountants and finance professionals to build their interpersonal and leadership skills, as well as their human empathy, ensuring they’re not left behind as their professions are disrupted by tech developments and artificial intelligence (AI).
The course came about when Michelle and Christina were contacted by professionals in these industries to discuss a need to improve their human skills to stay relevant and avoid disruption.
Christina said the legal, accounting and finance professions are three professions that many realise have been greatly impacted by tech in the last decade.
“There are plenty of examples of why professionals in these industries have a need to upskill,” Christina said.
The course will help smooth the transition of these professionals from technical expert to trusted adviser and provides CPD and CLE points. It will upskill professionals in the things computers can’t do – the human stuff – covering areas such as: improving your emotional intelligence and communication skills, learning how to collaborate and embrace innovation, creative skills, improving leadership capabilities, looking after your wellbeing (and your team’s wellbeing), and managing your productivity.
Recently published reports such as the Professional accountants – the future: Drivers of change and future skills’ white paper from the ACCA and the Shaping the future of Accounting in Business Education in Australia report by CPA Australia further highlighted this need, revealing that ethical competencies, creativity, people skills, vision, emotional intelligence and digital competencies are all areas where these professionals need support.
While the course is aimed at those in the finance, legal, accounting industries, other professionals can also get in touch with the local Being More Human team to find out about other support options.

A sectional couch can make your studio apartment appear smaller than it is or can provide the perfect solution to your space problems. With planning, the uninterrupted sweep of seating a sectional provides can create an island of relaxed sociability within your larger room. It can also make the most efficient use of an awkwardly-shaped space. New or old, a sectional couch can add to the comfort and hospitality of your apartment.
Planning Your Space
Perhaps the most important element in locating your sectional is making sure that all its components have space in which to function. A three-section couch with an attached chaise needs to be placed so you have access to both seating and lounging components without continually walking around or tripping over one leg of the "U" shape. A sectional with an optional lounger needs room for the footrest to protrude and the backrest to tip back. Like a rocking chair or chair/ottoman set, a sectional usually requires more space than just the floor-space under it.
Making the Most of a Small or Awkward Space
Placing your sectional against two adjoining walls may make the best use of a small area. Adding an area rug large enough to contain the whole sectional and centering a coffee table between the seating sections provides further definition for your apartment's living-room area. If the strong horizontal lines of the sectional may make the walls behind it seem smaller or the ceiling above seem lower, add some equally strong vertical lines, perhaps with torchiere-style floor and table lamps, wall art or a wall-hanging to lessen the low feeling. Designer Todd Romano blurs the strong horizontals by matching wall paint and upholstery color, changing the dimensions of the sectional's long horizontal color-block
Boxing the Square
Either a two- or three-sided sectional can be turned to face two adjoining walls, creating a closed boxed living-room area. This arrangement works well when one or two of the facing walls has windows. Making such an arrangement with windowless walls can mean a chronic need for electric lighting and may even then result in a space that feels dreary or stuffy.
Building an Island
In a large room, your sectional, rug and coffee table can still be used to define a living-room area, but this arrangement stands away from the walls. Space between the island and walls can be used for other furniture like bookcases or a dresser, increasing your storage. Whether your living-room area is placed at one end of the room or at its center will depend on allover space. Placing it at one end of your room may permit your marking off a separate sleeping area with screens, drapes, bookcases or tall cabinets.
New Sectional Options
If you are able to purchase a new sectional, be aware of recent design options which may add flexibility to your space. Ask about "pieced" sectional sofas, the parts of which can be used separately as well as joined together. Another option to explore is smaller sectional designs created specifically for limited apartment spaces.
