On the jacket:
Anu is a leather wearing, no-nonsense professional guardian with a reputation for killing the most dangerous vampires in New York City. But when her enemies murder the one person she truly cared about, all she wants is vengeance. The only clue points to New Delhi, so Anu puts in for a job transfer.
In India, she finds more than she expected. For one thing, her fellow operatives have made a truce with the vampires. For another, it's way too hot to wear leather.
At first, it seems Anu's biggest challenge will be evading the nice boys her aunt wants her to marry. But when children start disappearing, she discovers forces older and darker than anything she's faced before. All of Delhi is in danger, especially the sexy stranger who sets Anu's pulse racing.
To prepare for the coming battle, Anu must overcome her personal demons and put aside years of training. This time, her most powerful weapon will come from her mind, not her weapons belt.
I will be very upfront about this book. The cover reminded me of the film Ra.One and an interesting synopsis, I let the book sit on my night stand for two days. If at all, I picked up the book to read only because I had a review to right.
Wait? Read more! Don't judge a book by three lines a reviewer writes!
Ok so pretty grudgingly, I picked up the book and I had no clue what I was reading. Agreed, the genre is not something I actually read all the time, but I have adapted to newer genres pretty easily in the past. Nevertheless, about Tantra.
The first quarter of 2013 was spent in reading a lot of first time Indian authors and frankly, most have been disappointing. Tantra, I am afraid, was a damp squib.
The protagonist of the book is Anu Aggarwal, a vampire hunter from New York. The love of her life was killed and she has come to Delhi to seek revenge. She stays with her aunt who wants to get her married, as, at 27, she was not getting younger. To explain her situation, she had lied to her mother stating that she is gay and in turn her mother wanted her to play along with her aunt's marriage proposals as it would be difficult for her to come out of the closet in India. Why she had to make up tales about her sexuality, beats me.
So with the protagonist's name that reminded me of films like Khalnaayika and her personal life a mess, the first few pages were not very interesting. At this point, I must mention something about the overall feel of the book - the reading experience. Adi writes well. This being his first attempt, I would want to read more from him. When I say he writes well, I am talking about his language, grammar and the way he plays with words.
The plot picks up after a few pages. Children from various slums across the city are found missing and who is the culprit? Some dangerous vampires. Anu, with years of experience in what she is doing, finds herself stuck in the middle a dangerous game. This is where the plot becomes interesting.
The book is a tad lengthy. There are sections with too much of narratives and the plot stretches. However, what could have been better was a little bit more about Anu. Why and how did she become a vampire hunter?
The action sequences described where smooth and while reading I could actually envision the same. Also, it would be unfair to not point out that there are parts which are really, really engrossing. However, only in parts.
Tantra was not very impressive for the simple reason that unless the genre really, really interests you, you won't enjoy it. So yes, pick it up if you are into reading about vampires.

can greatly improve irrigation uniformity
Date sent: 2016/06/13 05:11:21锘? Surface irrigation is an ancient water technology field facilities nike free 5.0 v4 mens black , but it is still the world particularly in developing countries, a widely used method of irrigation, about the world in more than 90% of irrigated area. There are more than 98% of China's irrigated area is still using the traditional surface irrigation techniques. In view of our water and energy shortages, lack of economic strength, the majority of rural areas, low level of technical management of the reality of large area spraying, micro-irrigation and other advanced irrigation technology is also subject to considerable limitations, so for a long period of time , the country also need to increase the field engineering construction, and strong research and promote water-saving type of surface irrigation technology. First, land formation, designed the ditch, plot size and irrigation technical parameters Land formation is to improve the quality of surface irrigation technology and irrigation to reduce irrigation time and labor to improve irrigation efficiency and water output is an important measure. Combined with the formation of land reform in field engineering, planning long border (groove) for a short stretch of (communication), wide stretch of the narrow stretch of change design and reasonable size nike free 5.0 womens black pink , and into the plot Qigou (channel) flow, can greatly improve irrigation uniformity and irrigation efficiency. Shaanxi Luohuiqu studies show that the unit discharge into the plot for the 3 ~ 5L s, the irrigation quota changes with the long cardigan, cardigan long as 30 meters from 100 meters to, the irrigation quota to reduce 150 ~ 204m? hm?; when the plot of 30 ~ 100 meters long, the stretch of unit discharge from 2L s to 5L s, scale irrigation can reduce the 150 ~ 225m? hm?. Baojixia Irrigation contrast to deep percolation test, the irrigation quota is less than 675m? Hm?, Basically does not occur seepage; irrigation quota 825 ~ 990m? Hm?, About 150m? Hm? Deep infiltration of water produced leakage; irrigation quota 1350m? hm? when half of the water seepage into deep water. China's large territory and local differences in topography and soil, so the difficult uniform standard throughout the field test results should be based on established computer models, experiments and computer simulations, are given appropriate for the local irrigation Qigou size and technical parameters. Second, improving wet surface irrigation methods, the development of local sub-irrigation Improve the traditional surface irrigation wetting all the way to furrow (Border) wet alternate irrigation or partial irrigation nike free 3.0 v6 pink , soil evaporation during recess not only reduced the total evapotranspiration accounts for the proportion of farmland, so that the field soil water use efficiency can be significantly improved, and can better to improve the crop root zone soil permeability, promote deep root system bar, is conducive to the use root deep soil water storage, dual characteristics of both water and increase production, is worth promoting. Practice shows that wheat and maize intercropping repeat irrigation, cotton, corn and other row crops across wide furrow irrigation or furrow irrigation, wet area can be reduced by 50%, saving up to 30%, and yield increased 5% to 10%. Maize sowing with water, can water 900m? Hm?, Saving 90 to 105 kwh, an increase rate of about 16% nike free 3.0 v4 womens pink , increase rate of about 28%. Third, to improve water distribution methods, the development of intermittent irrigation Improve water distribution methods, the traditional trench, cardigan a Drainage changed to the intermittent water distribution, intermittent irrigation (also known as surge flow irrigation), known as the 80's a big surface irrigation technology breakthrough. Drainage flow was intermittent to surge forward like, because the soil pores will be automatically closed, the soil surface to form a thin closed layer of water to promote faster. When using the same amount of water in irrigation, intermittent irrigation for continuous irrigation flow forward from 1 to 3 times, thus greatly reducing the seepage and improve irrigation uniformity, field water utilization factor of 0.8 to 0.9. 4, improved furrow Drainage Facilities Drainage facilities improved furrow, using siphon (for open channel water) or terrestrial mobile gate hole pipe (for pipe) Drainage, Drainage nike free 3.0 v5 womens mint green , compared with the artificial opening, the field of water use efficiency can be increased by 5% to 10%. Currently these facilities are still in the experimental stage of domestic, not mass production. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out joint research on these facilities, materials and processing technology of in-depth research, toward the standardization of technology, production scale, to promote wider use direction to develop. Fifth, to develop water saving irrigation soil moisture film Irrigation is my film mulching cultivation technology in the developed on the basis of a new method of surface irrigation. It is the film tile or ditch in the plot, plot, ditch all covered by plastic film to achieve the water use of plastic film, and the raceway through the hole and professional crop irrigation for crop irrigation hole infiltration method. As the raceway professional irrigation bore holes and the field irrigated area accounts for only 1% to 5%, and other wet areas rely mainly on lateral water seepage, which film is actually a local irrigation irrigation. At present, the use of film hole irrigation of farmland in Xinjiang reached 23.33 hectares nike free 3.0 v5 mens black blue , Gansu, Henan and other provinces began to promote. Rotary irrigation situation is ditching film film ridge irrigation, irrigation training ridge film, film hole irrigation, irrigation ditch membrane, membrane seam irrigation, cell membrane field irrigation, irrigation and other membrane side of the membrane. Membrane irrigation crops are cotton, vegetables, corn, wheat, etc.. Film culture and film combined with wat锘? Golf ha.

This problem is not invented by me, and sucked the finger in order to cash in on her decision. See more detailed opinions by reading what Brian Krzanich offers on the topic.. Today, many authors in RuNet has long suffered due to piracy of information goods. Someone puts a bad and inconvenient protection, and somebody decided it was better in general then do without security. Of course, this is not an option – in both the first and second case actually loses the big profits! nikalnaya development, I suggest you finally decide for you this urgent problem.
Why is "unique"? Maybe today you will find more or less worthy tool for the protection, although this is not a fact. Read additional details here: Brian Krzanich. I also did not discover America if I say that there are many different scripts shops, which allow to organize the receipt of payments and automatic delivery. However, even when using such scripts, you still have to manually send the keys to activate the protected goods. This hemorrhoids.

Therefore, management should ensure that all their resources, especially human East fully identified with its functions, with prevailing leadership, as well as the organizational culture that has gestated. For the Venezuelan case, country that concerns us, it is regrettable that many managements, especially the ones in charge of SMEs not have received you attention, care that is required for that under the circumstances of a turbulent, uncertain environment with much uncertainty risky as you faced, derived from the actions of the current Government, its programmes, measures and that have affected many enterprises in its operationespecially to its organizational behavior leading to several to stop working.

It is a scientific discipline whose knowledge base is constantly adds a large amount of research and conceptual developments. But it is also an applied science, since information about effective practices in an organization can extend to many others and thus leave the departamentalismo.

Microsoft Excel spreadsheets are popular, and today any PC user, whose activities are connected with the calculations, widely uses them. In this case, most tables are used not only to calculate the desired results, but also to design them in the proper format. One of the challenges faced by accountants, economists, financiers, managers and other employees associated with the financial documents, is the conclusion of certain sums in words, but unfortunately, this is not too complicated function in Excel is not implemented. However, you can easily implement it, and there are several options. The easiest way to connect add or open a table in which the print function in words the amount realized in the macro. Obtain the desired file, and read about the features of its connection can be a Web page devoted to print the amount in words. It is better to connect the add-in that implements the desired algorithm.
In this case, when working with any Excel spreadsheet will be available two additional functions – SummPropisyu and ChisloPropisyu. Working with these functions is just same as with any other functions in Excel. You can display as a number of phrases that are located in other cells in the tables, these numbers may be the result of complex calculations. If for some reason did not connect the superstructure failed, you can use a table with a built-macro, which will be loaded automatically each time you start Excel. Further work with the function of the amount in words is no different from similar work using superstructure. If you for some reason do not want to use macros, you can do without them. Clicking on the link, you can read about the second version of the sum in words and download a spreadsheet with an example.
For calculation in this case, use a separate sheet, and if necessary to derive some amount in words will need to add more sheets for calculations. However, this example is easy to fix, so that it can need for those who want to make changes to existing algorithms. It should be noted that all proposed materials are freely available as source code, so if you want anyone can modify them, for example, translated into their native language, or by adding another currency. There are no restrictions on the use of these macros and Excel do not.
In the United States and Europe enjoy the services of freelancers for a long time in the CIS countries, this market segment, too, has recently become a growth spurt. Every day in the area freelance services involved a large number of new entrants not only performers but also the customers. There are new portals freelancers, where each person with a certain set of skills and knowledge can easily find a job can do. Accordingly, the customer is looking at such portals of the Executive to any particular work, based on their requirements and budget. Which areas of freelance services are most in demand? This copywriting (ie writing articles for websites, newspapers, etc.), programming, development and / or promotion and website design, translation services. Of course this is not an exhaustive list. I repeat: to become a freelancer and everyone can.
To do this you need to register at some (and preferably several) site for Freelancers, get acquainted with an order, to perform some work, and if you are satisfied with pay and / or conditions, to take his order for execution. Here are a few sites where a freelancer can find a reservation:,,,,, etc. In general, all-the so-called exchange of freelancing work in the following way: the customer puts the project (task) to tender, and performers, having familiarized with conditions and offers timing and amount for which he undertakes this task to perform. Typically, the work receives the one who has agreed to make faster and / or cheaper than others. However, plays no small role and reputation of a freelancer or a customer. It is therefore important (Especially initially) to have your portfolio, that is to publish some of his works on a particular subject to the customer was able to assess your experience and knowledge. The big plus is the presence of its own site.
As in any other sphere of activity of freelancing has its pluses and minuses. By cons include: Unstable employment, spending time looking for customers, discussing with them, working conditions, payment methods, possibly search for partners, if you are unable to complete the project on time alone, and more. This may take some time, usually no one pays. Just one of the drawbacks is the risk of nonpayment. As, actually anywhere on the Internet you can find cheaters who are not averse to save a few coins to pay. Although there are ways to minimize such risks. We now turn to freelancing pluses: The main benefit – is freedom. And not just freedom, but FREEDOM. If you do not know what it is, it makes no sense to you talk about it. It's like a drug – you never know until you try. Compared with the freedom all other benefits and advantages of freelancing look palely, though, and play employee in any firm. You are not dreaming of a million? Well then, no chance at all!
Some people try to convince him that it is possible to succeed in the MLM almost no work or effort, which can succeed without making any effort, care because this is not true and they are cheating, in reality to succeed with any MLM you need work, money, time and effort. There are also those who say that once built downline which provides commissions, there is nothing more to do to wait for checks of the commissions. The reality is that it must continue with its best effort and even invest your money if you want to succeed with any MLM business. But it is that MLM is so difficult? It's like any other business, it has its challenges that must be overcome with work and effort. Many people think that it is very difficult since they have not reported correctly and unknown system. Not sure how to build a downline and keep it working properly as it should, to manage the business successfully. One of the main reasons that fails in the MLM is only expected that you call to join the system. Novices, as soon as they are added to the MLM, already alert to their surroundings and give incomplete and hasty, information such as the name of the company, to commercialize products and compensation plan.
They say it as soon as they are in any social situation. Of course that if the compensation plan is very good, somebody's going to be incorporated into the system, even if you don't have the most pale idea of how everything works. There are companies and people who think that how much mas grande es downline best van business. But the mistake is to think that recruiting people to sell that do not sell and only recruit more people, it manages to make a bubble that deflates due to subsequent defections. The method of logical recruitment, is that first identifies the real prospect that will make the business properly.
People looking for something that is a change in their lives and is willing to work to achieve it. A good correct method of recruiting is to find people who are just looking for a change in its frustrating and dark daily life and not because you are looking for people who solve their problem of money. This is another reason for the failure in the MLM, recruiting the wrong people. It is important for the future of your business to recruit people for your MLM business who just want to change the conditions of their work and their daily lives, are well motivated and dedicated with enthusiasm to aggrandize the business. This means that if people are recruited because they think that it is going to be fun, surely your business will not have the expected result and will not succeed. Therefore, people who have a real desire for change, people who take responsibility to work by their own success, be active in your community and/or group that allows you to grow your business must be associated to succeed in MLM.

Andy Harvey Native American High School Journalism Workshop Sets Students' Sights on Media Career
By Kelly Johnston, student writer
The Northern Arizona University School of Communication's (COM) Andy Harvey Native American High School Journalism Workshop is named for a Native American NAU journalism graduate who went on to be recognized nationally as a multimedia journalist before his untimely death at the age of 35. It was Andy's belief that Native Americans should tell Native American stories. The workshop embraces that idea by encouraging Native American high school students to consider careers in broadcast media. The facilitators of the workshop hope that it will also help participants recognize a college degree as an achievable goal.
Art Brooks, president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association (ABA), proposed the idea of the workshop to COM eight years ago. The ABA provided critical initial funding for the program, and continues to fund the workshop, which this summer enters its fifth year, from June 19-25. Other contributors have included the Gannett Foundation, Channel 12 KPNX (Phoenix), NAU's Native American Cultural Center, as well as COM.
"It took us a few years to figure out what the workshop would be, how to recruit, and, of course, how to fund it," said COM's Paul Helford, the workshop's director. "Except for the ABA which contributes every year, we continue to search for regular funding."
The first workshop took place in June 2012. The $50 tuition includes a full week's stay in an NAU dormitory and on-campus meals. Scholarships are available for the full tuition.
Students learn broadcast production techniques from writing to shooting to editing. Students learn basics such as camera and lighting techniques, script writing, audio production, and editing—all while using professional equipment provided by COM.
"Last year, lead instructor Toni DeAztlan-Smith had the students create original television news stories for the nightly NAZ Today, a live, in-house newscast produced by COM. They produced their version of the news show, complete with studio production, news anchors, and their own stories for the program," Helford recalled.
He has high hopes for the growth of the program in years to come.
"I'd love to see some of these students enter the media world and become Native voices for the country," he said, "…a sentiment that brings the whole thing back to Andy Harvey's vision of Native Americans telling their own stories to the world through careers in broadcast media."
To see past work done by the students, and for summer 2016's application, which opened on February 1, go to nativeamericanbroadcastworkshop.org

Arts and crafts is a very enjoyable hobby because it is relaxing and allows you to create beautiful objects. There are so many possibilities of crafting ideas that you can enjoy. If you want to learn more, keep reading.
Cover surfaces with old newspaper to avoid damaging furniture or floors when creating arts and crafts projects. When you are done, throw the paper away and be done with it.
Get creative when it comes to thinking about what items you can use to complete craft projects. Paper goods that you throw away make great options. Paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls are useful. You might also use magazines and newspapers. Try to think of ways you can incorporate items you would generally discard into your projects.
Arts and crafts are messy. Cover everything nearby with butcher paper to keep it clean. Washable markers and glue will help make cleanup a breeze.
If you have difficulty finding supplies for arts and crafts projects that are affordable, check out secondhand stores. Many consignment shops and stores like Goodwill will have many goodies for an aspiring artists. You have to check regularly, because the stock moves quickly.
Stay organized. There are lots of ways to store and organize your supplies. Find a way to work for you. When your supplies are organized, it's easier for you to find the things you need. You will also know what supplies you have, or need.
If you've got a cloudiness to your mosaic after the mortar is dried, try to wipe the mosaic clean with a rag sprayed with glass cleaner. Mortar powder is tough to remove otherwise, and you need to make sure it is gone.
Children love arts and crafts, regardless of their age. Think about what project to start by thinking about the participants. If you are out of ideas or drawing a blank, check around the Internet or ask friends. You'll find something perfect for group fun.
If you're engaging in oil painting and don't like what you've just painted on canvas, paint right over it. Oil won't hurt the surface because it's adaptable. In fact, it can provide your new creation with amazing depth and an interesting design.
People of all ages enjoy a variety of arts and craft projects. Regardless of age levels, there really are projects that will suit everyone. Find crafts online for the ages you will be working with.
Take the time to make a few gifts instead of purchasing them. You can customize your gifts to suit recipients, and give them on special occasions. Homemade is better than purchased, every time; and you will save money in the long run, too.
Your children can get some great ideas about creating patterns while drawing if you use a Spirograph to show them. This shows children how patterns work.
When getting children involved in arts and crafts projects, find ways to get them to learn in the process. You can use math by having them count objects, subtract as you use them, try and read the instructions, or a number of other tasks that will help them learn while enjoying the fun!
Make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time for your arts and crafts. You can't rush projects. True quality is from attention and time you take. If it doesn't have enough time, it won't have justice done to it. Therefore, take your time, and you will be happy to see what difference there is in the results.
Check for online deals. Many crafting supplies are available online. A large selection of materials are available for all your arts and crafts projects. You can buy supplies online cheaper than at a local store.
Most craft stores have pamphlets of ideas. Keep an eye out for them while shopping. They are usually found near eye level on a hook. All the supplies needed, should be close by.
When you create home decor, your hobby gets even better. Create some decorations like cushions, flower pots, blinds, and picture frames. These can also be great gifts for friends and family.
Get inspired by nature and everything around you. Nature shows you how colors work together to create a masterpiece. Look at photos in magazines, look on the Internet, or simply walk outside to find some good color schemes. Creativity is the basis of arts and crafts projects.
Sewing is no longer popular, but it is such a versatile and fun craft to get into. Start with simple projects and always use fabric that you love. Browse through the pattern books to find a pattern you want to make and follow the directions carefully.
Get creative in your kitchen. You may not think food can be a craft project, but it can be. Baking a cake or making a gourmet meal both require some creativity. There are many easy projects you can do, such as decorating cupcakes.
Are you into homemade crafts, but feel like time is always an issue? Pick up an arts and crafts hobby, and you just might surprise yourself with how little time these projects actually take. Go to a class so you can learn the secrets of fabulous pottery, or head out to the workbench to put together a birdhouse so you can start.
Make a fun tuffet that will grow with the baby. You can add a pocket for books or toys, too.
Make sure you plan on spending enough time on arts and crafts projects if you enjoy creating objects. Crafts can let you express yourself and relax. You should do the things in life that make you feel the best, and try to always incorporate into your day the activity that gives you the most joy and satisfaction.
There is much you can learn regarding this hobby, and the preceding paragraphs should have been a good start. Your hobby dreams can come true when you put this knowledge to use. That will ensure you enjoy your pastime as much as you can.

Gann Electric 1 ReviewsExcellent Quality at a Very Reasonable Price
We had Gann rewire our entire 1930s house before we moved in. They removed the old knob and tube wiring, updated the electrical service, ran all new wires, and replaced all the outlets & switches. We were on a tight schedule so they worked long hours to get all this done in a week. The work passed inspection and we've had no long-term problems. They did all of this for under $6,500, including having someone come in and repair the plaster where they cut holes in the walls.

Spring is finally here. Flowers are starting to bloom, but it also means it's the Read more
How's this sound? It's winter, you live in the cozy confines of your suburban home in the heart of the South. You're sound asleep at night, dreaming of a wood-burning fire and some hot cocoa. Then all of sudden in your dream you hear the faint sound of rain drops. Then you start to feel them on your face. Then you wake up and think 'gosh, that was weird!' You shake your head, rub your eyes and decide you might as well use the restroom while you're up. Then you put your feet on the floor and feel water and hear a splash. Then all of sudden, you really wake up…sure enough, it's raining inside your home! What in the world is going on? Well, tens of thousands of dollars in water damage, that's what!
The above nightmare happened to my sister-in-law last winter. There ended up being over $40,000 in damages and they had to move out of their house in the middle of winter with a newborn. Does that sound like something you would like to avoid? If so, please read on…
Do you have plumbing pipes in your attic?
In states that see cold winters, you never see plumbing pipes in attics, and for good reason. But in the South, it's not uncommon for homes that are built on a slab foundation to have plumbing systems and pipes in the attics. It's a logical place to house these key elements of the home, but the gamble is they'll be safe there. And for the most part, there is never an issue. That is, until that freak cold system blows through and causes extremely low temperatures.
Have you ever been up to your attic? If not, peek your head up there and see what you find. If you notice plumbing pipes that are fully exposed to the elements, understand that you are playing a game of water damage Russian Roulette and eventually you will lose.
Insulate any attic pipes that transfer water!
If you look up in your attic and find exposed pipes, you really need to take immediate action. Luckily the cold weather hasn't hit yet, so you've got some time to protect your home against flooding. Here is what you need to do:
Go to your local home improvement store and buy some pipe insulation material. It's not very expensive and it's extremely easy to place over your pipes. You just need to make sure that you don't leave any area exposed, including joints where sections of pipe connect. So before you go to the store, you need to go up into your attic and take inventory.
How many linear feet of piping do you need to insulate? How many T-joints are there? Any rounded joints? Add up everything and make sure you've got a complete list of everything you need. If you're anything like me, you'll end up taking 5 or 6 trips to the store for what should have been a fairly easy home improvement project. So do as I say, not as a I do and make sure you've done your homework before you go to the store!
In one Saturday's worth of work, you can end up saving yourself thousands of dollars. Because the reality is if you end up with a burst pipe in your attic due to freezing, the amount of water damage is going to be extensive. Within minutes, water will travel throughout your attic, down your wall cavities and through your ceiling. It can potentially flood every floor of your home within a few minutes. And let's assume your home is worth $300,000. It's highly likely your insurance deductible is 1% of your home's value, meaning right off the bat you're out $3,000 for the fixes. And that water damage cost doesn't include the emotional toll of dealing with the extensive repair process it's going to require to fix your home.
Have you suffered water damage from a frozen attic pipe?
If you find yourself dealing with the nightmare situation highlighted at the top of this blog post, please stay calm. Right now the best thing you can do is call for experience, competent help that can begin the water extraction process immediately. At RestorationEze, our specialty is dealing with emergencies like yours. We have literally seen it all. So if you have home flooding from a frozen pipe in your attic, please give us a call immediately.
Within 60 minutes we can have a team at your home to perform an exhaustive diagnosis to determine where the water has gone. We can begin the water mitigation process immediately and can then work with your insurer to make sure your claim is handled properly and that the bill for our work is paid by them, not you!

Let Go Of Doubt/
How do we clear out doubt?
We all have doubt and it serves us only briefly as questions inspires solution which translates into progress, growth and expansion. But we can get lost in pessimism as a few well seeded thoughts of possible failure with a creative imagination and the multitude of failing visions can run rapid. We are analyzing ourselves out of a successful outcome, and any hint of confidence shrivels. We are unintentionally squelching the muse of our creative intuition, self sabotage at it's finest.
"The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile." - Plato.
Mastering the mind to soften doubtful self defeating thoughts is key. Trying this in the mists of self sabotage is futile for once doubt starts, it grabs ahold and the momentum is too strong. The key to quieting the mind and those less than positive thoughts is to be aware of them just as they are starting and then to stop the mind chatter before they take hold.
Emotions Are The Key
Emotions are the key for the better we feel the better our thoughts are, the worst we feel the more doubt, worry, anxiety provoking are our thoughts. The mind is habitual and has collected over time habits or patterns (synapses or our neurotransmission in the brain) that are not serving us. We have to want to feel good in order to allow doubt to dissipate and those transmissions to change.

I don't remember exactly where or when I heard this, or even who said it, but when I was studying theory in college I remember a professor saying that theory only mattered if you could apply it to the world and actually see it at work. If you build a theory, you have to "put it on the ground and make it walk." Clearly the details of that encounter have faded for me, but I remember that phrase vividly. It informs everything I think about queer theory and the constructions of gender and sexuality I see underlying everyday life. Sometimes I fancy myself a pretty radical queer, but I'm always grounded by those words: put it on the ground and make it walk.
When I got divorced, you could say that my interest in fairytale monogamy was at an all time low. Not that I'd ever been the biggest monogamy cheerleader in the world; it seemed impossible to me that one person could embody every one of my sexual, emotional, or social needs (even considering the role of friends and other close relationships in meeting at least some of these needs) and that I could do the same for them, and divorce statistics and anecdotal evidence seemed to back me up on this. Non-monogamy just seemed to make sense for an alternative to forcing yourself to fit into a role one might find especially constricting. I read a lot about polyamory and how to construct and maintain multiple relationships; at a bisexual empowerment conference where I was invited to present a paper based on a chapter in my MA thesis, I met a large community of poly folks representing a range of gender and sexual identities and found their constructions of romantic relationships challenging and refreshing. But a lot of my queer ideology got put on a shelf when I was dating and eventually married my ex. I had critiqued and challenged the institution of marriage in my academic work, but there I was accepting a ring from a man on bended knee (a beautiful opal ring I still haven't been able to part with that sits in a safe with my wedding ring), buying a white dress, and playing the part of a person I didn't even recognize. I told myself that was just what people did: they grew up, they settled down, and they got married. And I did. And then, later, he didn't.
After my divorce, I thought I didn't want anything like that ever again. I thought, maybe something casual where there aren't too many strings or commitments to get entangled in. I was discouraged that there wasn't as strong a sense of polyamory as a "thing" among gay men; instead there seems to be a higher tolerance for this vague notion of the "open relationship," but this seems in practice to be more about allowance for outside sexual activity and less about building a network of open, communicative relationships. But in a way that just reaffirmed my identification with the term queer, as once again I seemed at odds with a community I was both resisting and longing to be more a part of. I thought, maybe I need to rewrite these definitions for myself. Maybe I just need to throw away monogamy and do relationships my own way, in a way that allows me to feel fulfilled, maintain my integrity, and challenge this privileging of heteronormative monogamy that is poisoning LGBTQ communities…well, the L and G parts of them anyway.
See how very theoretical all of that sounds? That's the academic in me, imagining worlds where I am critiquing cultural constructions and working to expand the ideas of non-monogamy and queerness. All very lofty. But I forgot about the practical side of it. I forgot that part of doing all of that isn't just thinking about it or talking about it, but was also living it. I had to put it on the ground and make it walk.
Enter the fella.
I call him my fella because I'm still trying to figure out the dynamics, the vocabulary, the proper terms and conditions. But more on that later. Right now, let's talk about the sweet, squishy parts.
In a moment of relative weakness, I took my friend's advice and created a profile on OK Cupid. I already had a long-neglected profile on Plenty of Fish, but I didn't appreciate their rather preachy approach to sex and sexuality; if you weren't interested in pursuing your "happily ever after," they weren't particularly interested in you. I liked that OK Cupid was open to people looking for all different kinds of relationships and encounters, and I also liked that they had these compatibility questions you could fill out that would help pair you with potential matches. This made creating the profile seem less like small town queer dating desperation and more like an exercise in self-discovery. You can learn a lot about yourself and others through these sorts of questions.
The first thing I learned was that apparently, I have sex like a closeted Republican. How do I know this? I kept seeing people in my search results who were, say, 40 to 50% matches. When I would look into more detail in the questions, we'd be matched in the 90s for Sexuality questions, but in the 20s or 30s, sometimes even in the teens, on Lifestyle, Religion, and Politics questions. It was quite disconcerting to see sexual compatibility up next to profiles with phrases like "straight-acting," "MWM," and "down low." I am not, nor have I ever been, a closet freak.
So when I saw the fella's profile, I was interested. Our compatibility score was in the mid-90s, the highest I'd found so far. When I read his profile, I was hesitant; he was very upfront about having a boyfriend in the Twin Cities, and also that he didn't have any long term plans for staying in North Dakota (and though I'm open to the potential for new adventures in new places, I have no immediate plans to leave). I wasn't sure I was going to message him, but then one day I got one down low match too many and sent him a message. We messaged back and forth a few times and then decided to go out on a date.
In fact, he called it a date; this was refreshing considering that I had spent several months before that "hanging out" with a commitment-phobe who refused to call anything a date and when I decided it was time for me to move on (a process that was very messy and that I wasn't particularly successful at for quite some time) he acted as if the whole concept of us dating was a complete surprise to him. There were no games this time around, everything was on the surface. He let me know that his boyfriend knew that he was out on a date and was ok with it. This is very typical for him; he speaks plainly and very directly, something I wasn't used to having spent seven years trying to translate emotional messages out of rolled eyes, sighs, and unintelligible grunts. But that's the thing about polyamory: if you're going to do it right, you need to be good at communication.
It was pretty good as first dates go, though there was a little bit of awkward scrambling when the place we'd selected for our initial rendezvous was closed for a staff holiday party. I mean, Jesus, didn't they know that I had a date planned?! It's not like this was an everyday occurrence. But we found a suitable alternative; though it had an earlier closing time and I was worried we'd cut the evening far too short, we ended up continuing the conversation in the parking lot for another hour despite the chilly December temperatures. Later that night I "inadvertently" happened across a Facebook post where he said that he'd had a first date that went pretty well. Again, that sort of direct honesty was foreign and almost a little disconcerting.
There have been moments where the directness was a little too direct. I'm an emotional creature; say something to me and I'll analyze it a hundred times to decide how I feel about it, then a hundred times to make sure that's how I feel, and then a hundred more to make sure I'm sure. If the fella is feeling like he's stretched a little too thin or he needs some space to focus on other things, he says so. And then I come along with my hidden-meaning-detector looking for concealed messages and emotional time bombs, and I've worked myself into a bit of a froth on a couple of occasions. Luckily he seems pretty good at just waiting me out and letting the rage dust settle. I'm like a windup toy that gets wound too tight: first I'm unwinding so quickly that I almost vibrate apart before settling down into a more even rhythm. Plus, he always seems to know exactly when I need a pic or video of his ridiculously adorable cat to put me in a better emotional state.
After the first couple of dates, it was Christmas vacation time and the fella, a student in commercial aviation, headed home to visit the family and the boyfriend. Since everything was still pretty new, I didn't have any strong feelings. I thought, "Wow, maybe I am a radical queer with my non-monogamy and my lack of jealousy and my cosmopolitan attitudes!" How cute. How naïve.
In my reading on polyamory, I kept coming across the term compersion (please forgive me; for all my high-falutin' talk about academics I'm about to do the unspeakable and quote from Wikipedia):
Compersion is an empathetic state of happiness and joy experienced when another individual experiences happiness and joy, and the term is regularly used by members of the polyamory community in the context of polyamorous relationships. It is used to describe when a person experiences positive feelings when a lover is enjoying another relationship.
I think this term is very useful for understanding the dynamics of many relationships, but especially polyamorous relationships and how some people make them work (and some people don't). Jealousy is an ugly beast, and it can be hard to wrap your mind around the idea of feeling joy when someone you love is enjoying the company of other people. What's also important about compersion is that it isn't a replacement for jealousy – it often lives right along side of it.
Just about the time that I started to get a sore arm from patting myself on the back for how great I was embracing this new, non-normative experience, the green beast started to rear its ugly head. Intellectually I was still on board with the program; that intellectualized self was the one that would react when people would say things like, "But isn't it just awful knowing that they want to be with someone else?" or "I don't know how you could put up with that!" or even the annoying well-intentioned, "I'm sure once he gets to know how great you are, he'll pick you!" My intellectual brain can take those statements and dissect them, pull them apart and say, "See, here is how this statement demonstrates the privileging of heteronormative monogamy, and here are all of the other viewpoints that exist to counter that." I can explain all of the ways that non-monogamy can still make sure that needs are being met without having to fit into one specific pattern or mold for how a relationship or relationships should be. Very academic. But then there's my ooey-gooey emotional core kicking up my insecurities and saying things like, "You know what? Maybe he will choose me!"
Compersion is one thing when you're talking theoretically about the arrangements and definitions of polyamorous relationships; it's quite another when same-sex marriage is legalized and your fella decides to jump on the rainbow-Facebook-profile-pic bandwagon and the photo he chooses is of him and his boyfriend. His other boyfriend. When that happens, the green beast gets real chatty. It reminds me that I'm not exactly where our relationship fits onto the whole polyamory chart thing (one thing that I noticed, at least with the subsection of poly folks that I've met, is that they love to draw relationship diagrams – thick lines, thin lines, dotted lines!). It reminds me that we don't really talk much about the future beyond what we might do next weekend, or whose mother is visiting next month. It gets a little bit harder to ignore those voices that say, "See, this is what you get for bucking tradition! Why can't you just behave."
The problem is that I have sat down, shut up, and behaved. And I was miserable.
Maybe the problem was that I was impatient or scared and instead of finding the one I settled for that one. Maybe I didn't really give it all of the effort I could have. Maybe he didn't. Maybe neither of us did. All I know is that we tried to walk down that fairytale path of "happily ever after" and all we ended up doing was making ourselves and each other extremely unhappy. "But," the little green monster says, "wasn't it better to have that person making you miserable all to yourself?"
Ironically, it took a very traditional celebration of monogamy to help put things in perspective.
A friend of mine is getting married in September and she sent me an invitation. At the bottom of the RSVP card was that dreaded question: number of guests? The fella and I had been seeing each other pretty steadily for the last 8 months or so, but were we "plus one" ready?
With my ex, this invitation would have been met with stubborn annoyance. If we talked much about it at all, I probably would have been given a vague sort of "I probably have to work" excuse or, if I pressed, he would have reminded me that he didn't really know this friend. If I had to venture a guess, I would say the discussion would have included 3 heavy sighs, and 1 to 2 eye rolls. The final result could go either way: either he would have stayed home and I'd be hurt that he wouldn't go with me, or he would go and make it abundantly clear how much he resented being there. Sounds like exactly the kind of fun-lovin' couple you want at your nuptials, am I right?!
So with that history as my frame of reference, I texted the fella to float the idea of the wedding invite and prepped myself for the worst. Here is pretty much how the conversation went:
Me: My friend is getting married…I was wondering if you'd like to be my plus one?
The Fella: I don't really like weddings. But I don't mind the idea of going with you. I suppose I could do that.
That was it. No fuss, no outbursts, no pouting. He gauged how important the event was to me (I've had much less success getting him to go with me to Art Fest and the farmer's market!) and said that he would be willing to go. We even got to commiserate on how neither of us really likes weddings. So even though this relationship has its own unique set of challenges, it also has the space inside it to talk about and work through those challenges. We get to have what I've been nervously/jokingly referring to in my head as Polyamory Field Test 1: his boyfriend is coming for a weekend visit and we're all going to dinner. I don't know where things will end up, and I don't know how well I'll manage to keep that little green monster muzzled.
But for now I have a date for a wedding, a cuddly manfriend with an unreasonably cute cat, and my own little thread on a relationship web that just happens to include two other people. I didn't set out looking for this particular set of complications, but right now this complicated situation makes me feel valued and supported. And for right now, that's enough.
That, and this.

[…] Stumbling Into The Web, or The Wedding Invitation Polyamory? Not something she ever planned, but somehow Miss Jaye ended up with a boyfriend who has a boyfriend…and the boyfriend has a wife. Could consensual non-monogamy really be the right thing for our queen? […]

July 18, 2016
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,
Yesterday, we awoke to another tragedy in our city, and now we mourn the loss of several police officers. Our thoughts are with them and their families, as well as the officers who were injured and everyone else who has been impacted by these terrible events.
The safety and security of our students, faculty, and staff remains our first priority. I want to thank LSU Police for all they have done to keep our campus safe, and for assisting city, parish and state law enforcement throughout these trying times. Here on campus, LSU Police have increased the number of officers on patrol, as well as the frequency of the patrols. But everyone has a role to play in the security of our campus. You can help by reporting any suspicious activity to LSU Police at 225-578-3231. As a safety precaution, please make sure your mobile phone is registered to receive emergency text messages from LSU (register through your myLSU account). And don't forget to download the free LSU Shield mobile app onto your phone.
Moving forward, we must get about the business of repairing our relationships and building a stronger, more inclusive community beyond our campus gates. We can begin by showing the world that LSU stands together. We can be leaders in our city, state and nation by being unified and working together for peace, as we have always done. We must ensure that open and honest dialogue continues. Our campus is a place where ideas are borne into solutions, and where the best and the brightest come together to change the world. We have to preserve that culture and remain committed to positive change -- and to one another. In the spirit of healing, LSU Mental Health Services will hold a free, open support group for the campus community on Monday, July 18, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in Room 296 of the Student Health Center. All members of the LSU community are invited to attend.
Finally, I want to thank you, our LSU community, for the way in which you have handled these difficult times, the respect you've shown each other, and for the shining example you have set. We face many challenges, but we can overcome them all by standing together.
F. King Alexander
LSU President

WASHINGTON -- Whenever things get grim here, we can depend on Congress to provide some comic relief. This time it was the Senate vote on Wednesday to preserve their free reserved parking spaces at National and Dulles airports.
The vote was 53-44, and most of the margin was provided by senators who are either retiring or not up for re-election this year and thus won't be obliged to explain themselves to their constituents. Indeed, of the 26 running this year, 22 voted to give up the cherished perk -- 124 spaces at National and 51 at Dulles for members of Congress, the Supreme Court and the diplomatic corps.
The lots are, of course, the most conveniently placed at the two airports and thus for years have been a source of constant irritation to other frequent fliers forced to hunt spaces elsewhere and schlep their luggage on shuttle buses. They also are symbols of the kind of institutional arrogance that has persuaded so many voters that Congress just doesn't get it.

Delhi government schools to finally have the period talk
Delhi government schools will hold period talks where questions around menstruation will be answered by an NGO Sachhi Saheli under a campaign called 'Break the Bloody taboo'
More From Education »
- More Indians going abroad for studies, but foreign students aren't coming in
- Govt may increase retirement age of IIM directors, impose cap on age of chairmen
- Government may set up a regulator to oversee skill education
- CAT 2018 registration begins today: All you need to know about the MBA entrance exam
- Facing criticism, govt to go slow on replacing UGC with a new body
New Delhi: Lower backache, shooting abdominal pain, cramps, emotional ickiness, fatigue and nausea—if you are a woman reading this, you probably know where the conversation is going. It is a monthly ritual but women are not expected to speak about it. It is part of a woman's life—her biology—but it is an 'unclean' secret that women are expected to be ashamed of.
Women purchase sanitary napkins but make sure these are wrapped in black polythene bags or an old newspaper to avoid undue attention. Shoving sanitary napkins up the sleeves on the way to the bathroom so no one knows it's that time of the month is a usual occurrence.
And adding to the awkwardness, Indian advertisers continue displaying blue liquids squirting out of pipettes on pads, because how can they show blood is red in colour?
Since periods affect only women, there is a general ignorance and a convenient self-deception which propagates a culture of silence around the subject by all genders as if periods don't even exist. (Remember feminist author Gloria Steinem's 1978 satire piece in Ms magazine titled If Men Could Menstruate. She asked: "What would happen, for instance, if suddenly, magically, men could menstruate and women could not? The answer is clear—menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event..."
But two days ago, news came out that government schools in Delhi will hold period talks where questions around menstruation will be answered by an NGO Sachhi Saheli under a campaign called "Break the Bloody taboo". The NGO which started with imparting these lessons in slums and some government and private schools in East Delhi, will expand its reach now, after a two-month-long pilot project they conducted for the Delhi government.
As of now, the lessons will be for girls only because as Dr Surbhi Singh, a gynecologist, who is leading the team from the NGO, says: "Girls are not even comfortable in speaking to me, or in that case, even among themselves. If we bring in boys, it will be more like a lecture, and the girls will become completely silent, and that will kill the purpose of the period talk."
The idea is to talk about menstruation, bust the myths around the subject, answer queries in the form of stories that young girls can relate to. The sessions will begin with answering questions as simple as when do you start menstruating? How much flow is too much? Why are periods painful? Is it alright to touch pickle or go to the temple when you are menstruating? Can you go for a head bath when you have periods?
For some, these questions might sound redundant, but this campaign is good news, particularly so because menstruation taboos still have firm roots in the Indian society. A report brought out by Dasra, a strategic philanthropy foundation working around women's welfare and rights, has observed that 70% of mothers in India consider menstruation "dirty"—hence perpetuating a culture of shame and ignorance.
There are places and religions, where while on her period a girl or a woman is considered to be impure, and so worship in the temple or any other religious place is forbidden. There are states where menstruating girls are not allowed to cook or serve.
In fact, according to a 2016 study by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), eight of ten Indian girls are not allowed to enter religious shrines when they are on their period; six of ten girls are not allowed to touch food in the kitchen, and three of 10 are asked to sleep in a separate room. Funded by the UNICEF and published in the British Medical Journal, the study used data about 97,070 girls, collected between 2000 and 2015, as part of 138 studies on menstrual practices in India.
This taboo around periods, inadequate sanitary facilities, poor health education, are reasons why girls and women are denied things as basic as clean, affordable menstrual materials (Approximately 70% of all reproductive diseases in India are caused by poor menstrual hygiene).
In urban India, 43%-88% of girls use reusable cloth during menstruation, yet they are often washed without soap or clean water. And of the 355 million menstruating girls and women in the country, just 12% use sanitary napkins. This deprivation of basic resources required during periods, has become one of the reasons for drop outs. In rural India, one in five girls drops out of school after they start menstruating, according to research by Nielsen and Plan India.
Delhi isn't the first state to have begun the period talk. In October 2016, the Kozhikode Government Medical College union joined hands with an NGO Red Cycle to impart lessons in topics on gender sensitivity including menstruation to boy students, along with girls, in Kozhikode.
In April the same year, Punjab came up with an ambitious new scheme to provide sanitary napkins every month to 6.83 lakh girl students in all government schools to improve school attendance. The scheme, under the 'Swastha Kanya Yojana', is the first ever in Punjab that will cover every girl child from class 6 to 12. Also, it is the first when a budgetary allocation of Rs 24 crore has been proposed for sanitary napkins only.
While websites like Menstrupedia and other campaigns like #periodforchange and #HappyToBleed are trying to challenge the stigma around menstruation, a move to have the period-talk right at the school level, can definitely act as a step forward in sensitizing boys, as well as making women comfortable about this natural aspect of their lives.

Quit Your Job and Travel the World – I have come across this statement on numerous travel blogs. Every alternate day I will read someone explaining how awesome it is to leave cubicle life and set off on travel. How they hated their job and now they are on a roll. I am sure it must be a great experience. However not every one would like to take this path. First of all long-term travel is not for everyone and secondly most of the people can't avail that option even if they want to. Lastly on a lighter note, if everyone quits their job to travel then who will work 🙂 🙂
In the era of social media and travel blogs, continuous encounter with such statement may lead to a bit of frustration if you are a regular traveler or have desire to travel a lot. It may get portrayed that to do a substantial amount of traveling your job is an obstacle. Although I have much limited travel experience as compared to a seasoned travelers, still I can say with confidence that quitting is not the only option. You can continue with your job happily and do a fair amount of traveling. In the past few years I was able to manage to travel more than I could have imagined. Moreover, If I had got some travel advises much earlier, my travel experience would have been much more. So I would like to share my experiences specially for those who are in 20-30 age group.
If you haven't started working and studying in college, utilize this time. I made the mistake of not doing that and when I look back now I regret that. This is the phase where you would have a lot of time but less money. So you will tend to think that once you start earning you will travel. The thought is logical but the problem is as you start earning the available time gets reduced. So if your circumstances allow you, then try to travel during your semester breaks. You do not need to go on an expensive trip but can simply visit home town of your friend or visit nearby tourist places which are not heavy on your pocket. This doesn't mean borrowing a huge amount of money from your parents but cutting down some other entertainment expense and spending on travel.
Once you have started working you will have to work on two things – saving money and leaves. Many occupation these days have 5 days working week so you have weekends where you can visit near by places. For taking a leave of one week or longer, plan much in advance and tell your boss so that he/she can know your availability. A one week leave gives you 9 days which are a good amount of days to travel farther. Advance planning will save you tons of money as well.
If your job profile allows you to travel for work then its an added benefit. But if it doesn't then you shouldn't get disheartened and not just wait for the chance to come. When you plan your trip on your own then you take interest in each and every small aspects and learn a lot. It appears cool to travel on company expenses but it is more cool to plan yourself. You can avoid expensive places like Europe for initial years but there are tons of amazing places in India and South East Asia which can be affordable.
You can easily visit 4-5 new regions every year if you are able to plan in advance. The more you travel the better you will become at planning out things. Sitting at your desk and being jealous of a full-time traveler is much easier task. The challenge is to mange your job and still travel to places which you enjoy on postcards. I am a participant in this challenge. Do you plan to join ?

This tagline emphasizes uncomfortable truths. These truths are uncomfortable to those who are not Christians or are Christians with limited growth.
The first truth? Jesus is the only way to God. There is no other path. Scripture is clear on this topic. There are no qualifiers. The only method to reach God is accept Christ as your savior.
The second truth? Jesus is more than a savior. Jesus is a developer. He develops those he saves, if they will let him. This website is dedicated to participating in this development.

What does it mean to listen? To hear sounds? To interpret sounds? To find meaning in sounds? To react to sounds? Or is it something else?
I was recently involved in a dance discussion group on social media. I participated in one discussion that went very sour, and watched two other very interesting, potentially valuable threads do the same. The one that stands out in my mind was started by someone posting for friend who wished to remain anonymous. The friend was a young woman who described a common occurrence: being complimented on her dress at a dance. She expressed how uncomfortable she was having so much attention put on her body, which is what she felt when complimented in this way. Responses ran the gamut. Some said that it was no big deal, or told her to just get over it. Some said that when they complimented someone's dress, they were honestly just complimenting the dress. Some expressed support and demanded change in the dance communities. Some said that compliments should only be given to close friends to avoid the risk of misunderstanding, and proposed policies on giving compliments. Some said that we should stop discussing this and just dance.
Many of the comments turned nasty. Tempers flared. Name-calling and personal attacks became the cornerstone of many of the responses. The original issue often got lost. I wanted to chime in, to bring together the many viewpoints expressed, to explore the richness and complexity of this issue and the feelings it brought out in so many people. I saw so many facets at once, and wanted to show how they are all part of what was happening, and suggest ways to see and understand and interact. But by the time I had enough time to write a response, there was no discussion to be had. It had become an argument, a fight, a battle of wills. No one was listening. So I decided not to respond at all. And I left the group.
Listening, in the sense that I'm talking about, does not take place at the ears. It's not about the sounds. It means opening to and understanding someone else's experience. The woman at the dance felt uncomfortable with the situation. Listening means accepting and acknowledging that. Everyone knows what it's like to feel uncomfortable in a situation. We can all relate. We can all put ourselves in her shoes for a moment. The same goes for the person who just wants to be able to say something nice. And the person who is angry and wants to ensure that no one ever feels uncomfortable. And the person who just wants a lighthearted, fun time at a dance. Each one of us has probably been in every one of these positions at one time or another.
I am disappointed, dismayed, and distressed that so few people were willing and able to listen to others in these "discussions." It's an election year, and there are now many discussions about politics and political candidates. I have seen people who are friends lash out at one another in anger. I have seen people who are normally very sensible or caring bear down, defend themselves and their views, and attack others. If we can't even talk about how we interact in what is ostensibly a fun, caring dance community, what hope do we have of discussing issues and solving problems like healthcare, inequality, terrorism, and war?
The only way we can begin to approach a solution is first listen to the perspectives of others. How do they see the world? What are their hopes, dreams, concerns, worries, fears? Imagine what it would be like to feel that way. About anything. Or about nothing. See past the content, and understand the viewpoint, the perspective, the experience. That is listening.
How does one go about getting others to listen? "Getting" is not the right word, but I don't know what is. Convince, entice, encourage, inspire? When discussions are heated and the stakes seem high, when people are predisposed to making their point, nothing I or anyone else says seems to make much difference. What might move you from arguing to listening? What stands in the way? What can you do to listen more? What can I or others do to help you listen? I welcome your comments and ideas. In all of my interactions, I promise to practice listening. I hope that others will as well.
