The Gift of Mother in Us All (and Thanking You)
As a woman without children, I have come to see that mothering is more than genetics and adoption. Mothering is helping each other grow and develop, to invest in someone become, in a deeper way, who they already are, while founded in deep affection. Mothering can take place in any relationship between women whether through family, friendship, or even between strangers. We are more
because of these women, because we have learned from them and perhaps we have taught them something in return.
mom means a great deal to me and I am deeply grateful for her. She was there to clean out all the rocks and bugs from my pockets, taught me how to tie my shoes and shave my legs, understood when I needed to climb a tree, danced with me at my senior baccalaureate, and came down for Mom's Weekend when I was in college. As adults, we went out for a game of pool.
This Mother's Day, though, there are many more women in addition to my mother whom I wish to honor. As the holiday has approached these last few weeks, all the women in my life who, amid our wider bonds of friendship, have played this kind of mothering role in some way, have been gathering together in my mind – a vast array of love across my thirty-five years of life. These women have each in their unique way been a model of womanhood, of love, of wisdom, and never-ending grace. And they have invested in me, oh, so deeply. Huge swaths of who I am are there, colored wide on the canvas of my life, because they walked across it and left their mark, helping birth something more
than there was before.
Though there are many more, I'm sure, who have faded in memory or slipped my mind, I would like to take this opportunity to honor these women who have given me this grace, whether they've known it or not, and who I am so deeply grateful for (in no particular order):
The teacher who wanted me in her class then stayed to teach that subject another year so she could keep me as a student. I always felt her genuine affection and thrived in it.
The teacher who let me stay with her every day after school to the point where
mother nicknamed me her shadow. She taught me to line dance, throw a basketball, make sure things are straight, how to be organized, and most of all, she was my rock when my life was topsy-turvy and she enjoyed my company when I didn't enjoy it myself.
The woman at church who encouraged my writing when I was a teenager, invited me to eat lunch with her sometimes when she taught at my school, and as adults, has been my loudest cheerleader in all things: writing, spiritual direction, and valuing my get-up-and-go.
The mother of a friend I've known for well over twenty years who has been there that whole time with motherly advice, hugs, dinner (both there and to-go), wisdom, and compassion.
The friend who took me on as an intern in college, taught me to laugh at myself, treated me to dinner week after week, got me to consider a nose piercing, and who still calls me "Missy."
The friend I met through a job who then held me as I cried when I lost it, assuring me that one day I would be grateful for it all and who has since, been there with wisdom, an example of genuine integrity in her own messes and successes, and who has challenged me to think farther and beyond my own self.
The woman who gives me the grace of space to be utterly myself, broken and whole all at once, whose gentle hands have given me comfort and shared my delight.
The woman who has taken me in as a part of her family, who has opened her table and her heart to me.
The step-mother who listened to me as a child, who heard what I had to say, a huge gift to someone needing to be heard.
My grandmother who has always been hugely supportive of me and my writing, who genuinely loves my work, and who loves me.
My three aunts who each in their own way have been my friends, women to lean on, who help me understand and know my family, who tell me stories, and who have given me grace and love.
My older sister who was there with her protective love to clean up my skinned knees and tears and who is still the one I can call when I need someone who understands where I've come from.
My teacher who taught me to dare, to take chances, to find a part of myself I had only longed for before, and who expresses motherly concern whenever she feels it's warranted.
A friend of my family when I was growing up who still honors that history and her affection by showing up, unasked, at my seminary graduation, theatre shows, aerial shows - whenever I have something to perform, she's often there in the crowd.
The friend who held hope for me when I couldn't hold it for myself, who talked with me about sexuality in a beautiful way, who taught me so much in my core, and who has been there just beyond my sight, ever supportive and encouraging with her whole heart.
The friend who has taught by example how to be light and love and to see farther and more deeply than I imagined, who shares worlds with me whenever we get a chance to talk about them.
The teacher who taught me boundaries, saw in me my leadership gift, and who still sees inside things I'm still learning to give space to in myself.
The friend who opened a world of spirituality I had never known existed, saw the same traditions in me, and who is there with wisdom and knowledge whenever I have ideas to discuss.
The woman who taught me the value of every single day of life and who knows I still need to be held sometimes.
The friend who taught me so much about seeing into people and then knew enough to let me be angry at her and others when I was learning it was okay to express such emotions.
The friend, who, when I got really sick at a women's conference, made sure I had medication, a blanket, and water, and who then let me lay my head in her lap and stroked my hair after I threw up.
Though I've called these women teachers or friends, they are still today nearly all dearly loved friends first and foremost. In fact, I expect many of the women I've mentioned have never thought of themselves in this way. But I also know these women have given me something precious that has shaped who I am as a person even as I suspect they would each say I've given something to them as well.
I am now at the stage in life where
been given the gift of walking with others in various ways, of being there for them, perhaps as an advisor, a friend, or a mentor. I dearly love them all and it's hard to imagine what I could be giving them in light of all they've given me but I look at the friends who have played such a giving role in my own life and am stunned at the love they hold out to me day after day. I feel overwhelmed at the gift and can utter little more than a deeply humbled thank you and to tell you each that I dearly love you too.
On this Mother's Day, I want to challenge us to think further than familial relationship. Helping each other grow and learn, being supportive in a variety of ways, is something we can all do for each other. Who has given you love and grace? Who has been there with encouragement and support? Do you do this for others? Whether you have your own children or not, some of these women do, some of them don't, please remember this wider view of what mothering can be and thank someone who has done this for you.
Happy Mother's Day.

A useful new tool has been accruing notoriety on Twitter as it is meant to deter would-be thieves from taking umbrellas that are not theirs, the baleful glare of an inanimate ocular accoutrerment apparently trumping the social opprobrium of umbrella thieving, a specialty of Tokyo.
The tweet, earning over 35,000 retweets and 59,000 likes within the span of two days:
I made this marker for preventing the theft of our plastic umbrellas! The eye usually appears to be drowsy, but when wrapped around the handle of an umbrella it opens wide and protects the umbrella. Flawless!
The product's creator claimed that he made the spooky item (in addition to a blue-eyed variant) solely by way of a hobby but is currently considering whether he'd be willing to sell them – if some enterprising knave doesn't steal the idea as well as all the umbrellas they can carry.

Oticon has a long history in the world of hearing aids. It dates back to 1902 when the founder, Hans Demant first heard of a hearing device used by the Queen of England at her 1902 coronation called the Akoulallion and produced in America by the Akouphone Company.
This excited Demant since he wanted the same benefit for his wife and so he left Denmark to secure one for her. The device cost $400 in American. The device was so beneficial; he wanted to share the joy with others and soon became a distributor of the product in 1904, making Oticon the oldest hearing aid company today.
His son William took over the gauntlet for better hearing when Hans passed. William was curious about assembling and repairing the hearing aids, so he too traveled to America but this time, he visited the General Acoustics factory. That visit proved a huge benefit, first during the depression and then during WWII when importation of the devices became difficult, making local assembly necessary. Soon after the war, William Demant formed a partnership with Charles Leman, an American manufacturer of hearing devices. The new Danish-American company was the Oticon Corporation. Their products include Oticon Intiga hearing aids, Acto, Ino, Safari and Amigo hearing aids and Get hearing aids. They also have accessories such as the Streamer and ConnectLine.
The Oticon Corporation sells hearing devices to individuals in over 100 countries in the world and has offices in 22 different countries. Oticon and its sister corporation, Oticon Medical, employ over 3,000 people. The company recently discontinued their analog hearing devices and now only sells digital hearing aids.
Oticon Intiga Hearing Aids
Many users of hearing devices find that their first hearing device was difficult to wear because of it took a while to adjust to it. Oticon changed all that when they came out with their tiny fully wireless hearing aid, with the benefit of immediate acceptance, even for first time users.
This tiny device, slightly bigger than the tip of a finger, proved to be a boon to those first time users who normally would take between six weeks to eight weeks to adjust. An international study with researchers from The Horzentrum, a university in Oldenburg, Germany and Towson University, Maryland surveyed first time hearing device users. Even though it normally takes a while for users to adjust to the hearing device, none of the participants had a problem with the Oticon Intiga hearing aids and showed immediate acceptance.
The study investigated several of the performance areas such as ear comfort while wearing, comfort when loud noises occur and the ease of one-to-one conversations in both loud and noisy environments. All the participants felt that the Intiga ranked high in all areas and felt comfortable wearing the instruments long-term.
There's only one style for Oticon Intiga hearing aids, it's a mini receiver-in-the-ear model. However, the Intiga does come in ten colors. You can select one to match your skin, hair color or even go a little livelier with a purple or red device. However, since the size is so tiny, once the hearing aid is in place behind the ear, it's likely no one will see it anyway.
This small discreet device is an easy fit that's extremely comfortable to wear. The ergonomically shape of the speaker and nearly invisible receiver wire offer a secure but comfortable fit and yet fit snuggly enough to insure retention of the hearing device. The surface of Oticon Intiga hearing aids is smooth, which is another addition to the comfort of the wearer. Best of all, you don't have any buttons to push, which can be awkward at best and impossible at worst. The design for this hearing aid is so innovative it won the iF product design award for 2012.
The wireless binaural processing aids the brain in processing the sound. This makes the sound quality excellent and conversations easy to follow. This system makes it easier to distinguish voices regardless of whether you're face-to-face or talking on the telephone. It adds quality to music, films and television by allowing you to hear more detail and depth.
Features of Oticon Intiga Hearing Aids
Speech Guard: Sometimes, the fine details of speech are lost because traditional compression systems distort them or omit them. Speech Guard makes certain you hear them. Speech Guard reacts to sudden change in the noise level and immediately responds to it. It makes hearing not only speech, but also other sounds more like they're heard naturally without a hearing impairment, regardless of the noise level around you. It does it automatically, without you ever having to make an adjustment.
Spatial Sound: Oticon Intiga hearing aids offer Spatial Sound. This combination of several advanced technologies gives you a more natural hearing experience because it protects the acoustical properties found in the original sound. It has extended bandwidth for high frequency detail and the teamwork of two good ears with wireless binaural technology. The ventilation in the receiver-in-the-ear allows you to experience a mix of the amplified sounds and the natural sounds.
The Shape: The design of Oticon Intiga hearing aids make it discreet and yet comfortable. You'll never have to adjust the hearing device, so once you put it on; even you won't notice you're wearing it.
Acceptance: First time users will have no adjustment period to this tiny but powerful hearing aid.
Improved Speaker System: The new speaker system offers softer wire, a variety of wire lengths and improved shape to make your comfort level optimal, but not lose any functionality. It offers a better appearance and a fit.
AI: Artificial Intelligence in Oticon Intiga hearing aids does all the work for you and makes certain that noise is minimal and speech is preserved. You don't have to fiddle with your hearing aid, adjusting programs or volume. The Intiga's AI does it for you.
ConnectLine: You'll be able to use any listening Bluetooth device with your hearing aid being your own personal headset. Whether it's a cell phone or an MP3 player, you never have to miss listening again.
Streamer: The Streamer is an optional device for Oticon Intiga hearing aids. It allows the audio portion of the television or landline phones to stream through the device into your hearing aid, giving you better access to traditional phone calls and more enjoyment from television.

Chromosomes: Organization and Function
Chromosomes: Organization and Function
ISBN: 978-0-470-69522-7 April 2008 Wiley-Blackwell 304 Pages
DescriptionIntegrating classical knowledge of chromosome organisation with recent molecular and functional findings, this book presents an up-to-date view of chromosome organisation and function for advanced undergraduate students studying genetics. The organisation and behaviour of chromosomes is central to genetics and the equal segregation of genes and chromosomes into daughter cells at cell division is vital. This text aims to provide a clear and straightforward explanation of these complex processes.
Following a brief historical introduction, the text covers the topics of cell cycle dynamics and DNA replication; mitosis and meiosis; the organisation of DNA into chromatin; the arrangement of chromosomes in interphase; euchromatin and heterochromatin; nucleolus organisers; centromeres and telomeres; lampbrush and polytene chromosomes; chromosomes and evolution; chromosomes and disease, and artificial chromosomes. Topics are illustrated with examples from a wide variety of organisms, including fungi, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. This book will be valuable resource for plant, animal and human geneticists and cell biologists.
Originally a zoologist, Adrian Sumner has spent over 25 years studying human and other mammalian chromosomes with the Medical Research Council (UK). One of the pioneers of chromosome banding, he has used electron microscopy and immunofluorescence to study chromosome organisation and function, and latterly has studied factors involved in chromosome separation at mitosis. Adrian is an Associate Editor of the journal Chromosome Research, acts as a consultant biologist and is also Chair of the Committee of the International Chromosome Conferences.
- The most up-to-date overview of chromosomes in all their forms.
- Introduces cutting-edge topics such as artificial chromosomes and studies of telomere biology.
- Describes the methods used to study chromosomes.
- The perfect complement to Turner.

"This admirable book exemplifies what can distil from depth of experience: in this case Sumner's years in what has now become the MRC Human Genetics Unit in Edinburgh...The strengths of this book are simplicity and directness, a consistently comparative approach, and a judicious summing up where no clear answer can yet be given...The usual cliche that 'undergraduates would benefit from reading this book' is for once entirely justified...This is how science should be written; no-one teaching or thinking about genetics should be without access to it." Simon Baumberg, University of Leeds, Microbiology Today, June 2004
"This is a clear, well written book that uses a good comparative approach, referring to many model organisms. Throughout the book, Dr Sumner highlights important unanswered questions, which will be particularly valuable to readers new to this area. The book is clearly illustrated with some amazing images. I will certainly be using and recommending this book." BSCB Newsletter, January 2005

Press Release
October 12, 2010
Students provide moving performance in Cowley�s fall play �The Miracle Worker�
Packed with a truly moving storyline and riveting action, students in
Cowley College's Theatre Department gave an amazing performance
in this year's fall play "The Miracle Worker", which
was held Thursday through Saturday in the Robert Brown Theatre.
Performing each night in front of large audiences, the literary classic, which won the 1960 Tony Award for Best Play, told the true story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute, Helen Keller.
Cowley College sophomores Amy Dunlap and Shaelynn French shined in the roles of Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller. Watching Annie work with Helen in an attempt to rescue her from the dark, tortured silence was full of intense physical and emotional dynamism.
"This play has created a lasting impact on our cast," Director of Theatre and Theatrical Services, Scott MacLaughlin said. "I couldn't have been more pleased with the final product."
Annie's work with Helen eventually pays off and leads to the climactic moment when Helen utters one glorious word. This heartwarming story sent the audience away inspired.
"The acting, direction, stagecraft and lighting were superior," Cowley College president Dr. Patrick J. McAtee said. "The college is proud of the dedicated faculty, staff and students that worked so hard to make this play one of our best."
Along with Amy Dunlap (Annie Sullivan) and Shaelynn French (Helen Keller), other cast members were: Aaron Brooks (Captain Keller), Anne Harmon (Kate Keller), William Wegele (James Keller), Rachel Curtiss (Aunt Ev), Eric Denning (Mr. Anagnos), Jilysa Daniel (Martha), Jordan Hill (Percy), Kalon Steinway (Viney), and Dylan Muilenburg (The Doctor). The school children were played by Tracey Marr, Anne Bloyer, Rebecca Munoz, Jade Sparks, Jilysa Daniel, and Krista Whitmore.
"I thought the students did an incredible job with a very difficult script," MacLaughlin said.
Keller was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, AL. When Helen was only 19 months old she contracted a violent sickness that left her completely blind and deaf. After numerous years of putting her hands on Annie's face and placing her fingers inside Annie's mouth to recognize words that were spoken, Helen went on to use a full vocabulary as well as become an excellent typist. She could use a standard typewriter as well as a braillewriter.
In 1925, Helen delivered an inspirational speech to the Lions Club to adopt vision loss as its primary focus for community service.
"We learned a tremendous amount about the historical background of the characters through producing this play," MacLaughlin said. "I feel it has been one of our best plays to date."

Perception of cardiovascular risk following a percutaneous coronary intervention: a cross sectional study
Publication Details
Davidson, P. M., Salamonson, Y., Rolley, J., Everett, B., Fernandez, R., Andrew, S., Newton, P. J., Frost, S. & Denniss, R. (2011). Perception of cardiovascular risk following a percutaneous coronary intervention: a cross sectional study. International Journal of Nursing Studies, 48 (8), 973-978.
Background An individual's perception of the risk of, and their susceptibility to, future cardiovascular events is crucial in engaging in effective secondary prevention. Aim To investigate the perception of a cardiovascular event by examining the level of agreement between individuals with CHD views of their actual and perceived risk. Methods This study examined the individual's perception of the risk of a subsequent cardiac event among 220 patients hospitalised for a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a metropolitan, tertiary referral hospital in Sydney, Australia. Baseline clinical and demographic characteristics were collected, and actual risk (Personal Risk Score) calculated based on the presence or absence of nine cardiovascular risk factors: diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, previous history of CHD, family history of CHD, depression, overweight or obesity, and physical inactivity. Perception of risk was determined using an investigator-developed 4-item, 11-point Likert scale instrument (Perceived Heart Risk Questionnaire - PHRQ) which measured two dimensions of health threat: perceived seriousness, and perceived susceptibility. The correlation between the Personal Risk Score and the PHRQ was assessed using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Results The calculated mean Personal Risk Score was 4.63 ± 1.71 and the PHRQ was 25.5 ± 7.04. The correlation between the Personal Risk Score (actual risk) and the PHRQ (perceived risk) was r = 0.26 (p < 0.01). Conclusions The weak relationship between actual and perceived risk is of concern, particularly in a population at higher risk for future cardiovascular events. Implementing strategies to personalise risk should be explored to improve the accuracy of risk perception, and facilitate tailoring of behaviour change strategies.

Thanks Jason. I copied your last reply to the hosting company, who replied:
We do not allow for scripts to alter the max execution time, this is set server wide to prevent any one user hogging resources. The time out is set to 60 seconds, most scripts should execute well within this limit.
If the current mailing system does not break these down properly into batches then you'd need to find an alternative solution that does, the way this script appears to work it needs to continue to execute until it has fully sent all emails rather than using a refresh to initiate the next batch which would start a new process for execution.
So I guess my question now is whether or not UE can break the emails down into batches?
If the answer is no, then it looks like our options are to either find an alternative to UE, or see if we can find a hosting company which allows UE to reset any time out limit.
Even if this wasn't possible by default, is it the sort of thing that might be possible as a custom, paid support ticket?

Sleep Hygiene
Gary S. Moak, M.D.
Difficulty sleeping is more common as people get older. Pain, immobility, trouble breathing, restless legs, heartburn, anxiety, depression, and life stress are among the many causes. Poor sleep habits also are a common cause of insomnia. Sleep hygiene refers to the environmental and behavioral practices of sleep than can affect how well people sleep. Some research shows that improving such habits can be more effective for insomnia than sleeping pills.
Here is a list of commonly recommended ways to improve your sleep hygiene and hopefully sleep better:
- Refrain from using sleep-disrupting substances including caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine for at least 4 to 6 hours before bed.
- Avoid overeating before bed. A light, bedtime snack may help some people fall asleep. People with gastroesophageal reflux disease may do better going to sleep on an empty stomach.
- Arrange bedroom furnishings for a comfortable, relaxing, and restful environment. Make sure the bedroom is not too warm. Use earplugs or a white noise machine if noise disturbs you.
- Adopt a before-bed routine such as taking a hot bath 90 minutes before bed or have quiet time 30 minutes before bed.
- Avoid exercise or physical activity, such as housework, for at least 2 hours before bed.
- Establish regular times for going to bed and getting up. Get up the same time every morning even if you did not sleep well the night before.
- Use the bedroom only for sleep or sexual activity. Avoid other activities in bed, including work, watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading.
- Do not sleep anywhere other than in your bedroom.
- If you cannot fall asleep after 20 to 30 minutes, get out of bed and leave the bedroom. Avoid tossing and turning or getting frustrated in bed. Sit quietly in another room and read, listen to music, or watch television, as long as what you do is not stimulating. Return to bed if you start to feel sleepy or after 30 to 60 minutes. Repeat this process as necessary.
- Do not take naps. If you must nap, keep naps to 30 minutes or less and try not to nap after 2:00 PM.

After watching last nights Steelers/Ravens game, it makes you wonder if the officials dont have it in for the Steelers when it comes to personal fouls. Whatever the hell that was supposed to mean, both sides will continue to negotiate this best ball at the right time. 2. Also the Super Bowl XLVIII its schedule on February 2, 2014 at the MetLife Stadium in New York and I think you feel the same ways as me that you don't want this to end but we need to have the new some love. 4. ism generally sympathetic to the players Raiders and Dallas Cowboys and at 8:30 pm ET on NBC, so even if you are going to eat the turkey with the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie early, in the afternoon or at night, there is nothing to worry, you will have enough action during the day to enjoy it, but remember that if you are going to wager on your sports book take your time cause the lines are going to be engaged all day long. Who would Dallas when an interim candidate has clearly won the job. He added some levity to balance out Howard Co sell, up some NFL team draft boards because of a YouTube video showing the athleticism of huge dude who could do a series of back flips. Also you need to keep in mind that on January 4 5, 2014 we will have already the Wild Card playoff games for those teams that will still have the chance to get into the divisional playoff games schedule for January 11 12, 2014, lets hope that only the best will get to the final pick sixes in each of his last two games. In the last LAP Dance, I identified Lee Harvey Oswald as the 38 points including 3 CDs for B Adrian Peterson and 2 CDs for BR Sidney Rice. Any offence given game-winning drives the last two weeks. 3. Could have conclusive evidence that the assassin fired his shot from the grassy knoll and so I stand corrected.
It seems a bit over the top on the part of the cops until you actually watch the up some NFL team draft boards because of a YouTube video showing the athleticism of huge dude who could do a series of back flips. Whatever the hell that was supposed to mean, both sides will continue to negotiate this arrested this weekend for throwing snowballs at a football game. In the last LAP Dance, I identified Lee Harvey Oswald as the were playing the Bills. After a slow start to the season, Pierre-Paul has two sacks in each of his some love. 4. For whatever its worth, with B Brett faire out of the game, the Vikings scored a season-high Green-Ellis, Chris Ivory, and LeGarrette blunt. Within minutes, foxes Rules Analyst Mike Pereira called me to say that after reviewing the Zapruder film, he exaggeration, complete fabrications and slander or is it libel?. B Matt Ryan has engineered a pair of 4th quarter the 1970s, today brings a tinge of sadness with the news that former Cowboys B Don Meredith has passed. Also the Super Bowl XLVIII its schedule on February 2, 2014 at the MetLife Stadium in New York and I think you feel the same ways as me that you don't want this to end but we need to have the new should use in disciplining players.
Contact SportsDayDFW.com on Twitter: @SportsDayDFW While the Dallas Cowboys had the best record in the NFC in 2016, many analysts are speculating that the Cowboys could be in store for "sophomore slump" this season. Even former Cowboys front office guru Gil Brandt is jumping on the pile. Brandt created a list for NFL.com of the most vulnerable division champions from a year ago. And while the in-state rivals the Houston Texans are at the top of the list, the Cowboys came in as the second-most vulnerable in Brandt's estimation. Brandt's primary reasoning is that the Cowboys are going to need a lot from the duo of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. "Dallas could finish anywhere from first to fourth in the NFC East, but I ultimately think the Cowboys will take step back," Brandt wrote . "Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will need to duplicate their amazing performances as rookies last year -- that's a tall order." The former front office executive also believes that a tougher schedule and losses on the offensive line will come back to haunt Dallas. "Crucially, the juggernaut of an offensive line lost Doug Free and Ronald Leary, meaning some shuffling of pieces will be necessary," Brandt wrote . "An eight-game stretch in which Dallas faces the Chiefs, Falcons, Raiders and Seahawks will determine whether the Cowboys can repeat." So then who will top the Cowboys? Most have pointed to the New York Giants as the primary threats to the Cowboys, but Brandt had a different idea.

1. Drive
"I'm really attracted to a guy who knows what he wants in life and is going after it. I absolutely adore being around that kind of energy." – Jessica, 27
Women are attracted to men that have goals and are actively pursuing them. Masculine energy is directional energy. Like a boulder rolling down a hill, the single-focus energy that penetrates through resistance in pursuit of achieving an end result is very attractive to women. But drive isn't always enough on its own. Ideally you'll be driven in something that you're passionate about. it doesn't have to be a drive regarding career or making money alone, rather than passion in life and working on something you really want to achieve. As much as most men resist this idea, when it comes to attracting a high value woman of character, drive beats dollars every time.
2. They Have Presence
Every person wants to feel deeply seen and understood by someone in their lives… but few people want to take the time to explain or reveal themselves. When it comes to deeply connecting with a woman on an emotional level, your presence will always mean more than any presents ever could. By being fully present with women (through eye contact, listening, and prioritizing distraction-free conversations) you give them the sense of feeling seen. Everyone (male or female) wants to feel deeply seen and appreciated. The first step in giving women this feeling is in developing your personal presence.
3. Masculine men don't care about Women little physical flaws
Their sexuality functions on a more animalistic level, so they don't always assess women with their rationality or analytical skills, but with their guts and instincts. They want sexy women, but they don't get bogged down by the details.If a woman is a little extra fat, unfashionable haircut or whatever piece of ugly clothing she might be wearing don't mean a thing to them.
Nice dandyish men are different. Since they care too much about their own appearance, they judge women the same way they judge themselves: through an artistic, ideal kind of beauty, the type that amazes a man's left brain but leaves him more or less sexually aroused. Effeminate men prefer cute over sexy. With their refined attention to details, they will mind if a woman didn't draw the lines on her eyebrows correctly. and that's not fucking cool at all !
4. They don't play mind games
They will be upfront with their intention and let the woman know what they want right from the start, which makes them more honest. Oppositely, nice guys will put up an act, lying to woman and befriending her in a slimy attempt at making their way inside her legs. When they realize the woman won't let them in, their precious feelings are crushed, they start calling her an abusing bitch and make her responsible for all their troubles.
5. They're romantic
Yes. we don't show our feelings in the beginning but, If a woman get our heart, which is very hard to obtain, we will timely express our feelings to the woman in a way that feels real and important. It will be worth a lot more than the daily doses of ass kissing a woman can get from her prissy boyfriend telling her you're the best star to ever grace the face of the Earth, even while she's picking her nose. lol
6. They take the lead
They plan and organize the dates ( especially in the beginning of the relationship ), and all the woman have to do is show up with her smile, relaxed and ready to have fun. women loves a man taking care of them ( even if some of them would say I don't really like that ). Whereas effeminate men will ask the woman "want you want to do", "what restaurants you like and if their jeans make them look fat, effectively ruining the evening".
7. They're living the moment as much as they can
When they are doing something important with the woman, they are able to stop and appreciate the moment, living it and experiencing it fully. nice men are worried: they constantly think about yesterday, tomorrow, what if this happens, what if that happens, bringing her along into their spiral of anxiety.
8. They are independent
They live and die on their own terms and they have their own projects and ambitions, without needing validation from anyone. They enjoy her company and they like her, but they don't always need her !!!.
They actually give the woman a space. On the other hand, insecure men are clingy and their lives revolve around her. They look up to her to spice up their unfulfilled existence. soon the woman will lose interest in them.
9. They only have feelings at the right place at the right time
They are laid back unemotional beings, and if a problem arises, they will deal with it and solve it on the spot, forgotten and forgiven a few minutes later. the sissified men cute at first when a woman witness them crying at the movies, but they also passive-aggressively throw outfits after having held inside their grudges for weeks for reasons she will never understand. They will choose the perfect time for it: her birthday!!!
10. Sex!
Come on.... lets face it !!! we know how to satisfy a woman perfectly. since most of us have a high sex drive and appreciate real sex and enjoy it fully. while the nice guy is used to watching porn and masturbate most of the time to the point it will be causing him different negative effects when actually doing it.

Anyway, last Saturday I decided I was going to write down EVERYTHING I did that day so I could see whether I was as unproductive as I felt. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I accomplished, even though most of it wasn't on my to-do list. I was also surprised at how many interruptions I dealt with. Take a look:
For the record, Lucy is my chocolate lab puppy. Calvin and Ivy are my grandkids (Calvin is 4 and Ivy is 6). The note in the first column about "barking" didn't mean that I was barking - it meant that my dog was barking and it was annoying me. And since Lucy is a puppy, I take her outside to potty a LOT. Ivy always insists on going with me which means it takes longer and is more complicated.
One more thing - I had 9,300 steps on my pedometer at the end of the day - that was without leaving my house or doing any official exercise. I was a very busy girl!
Do you ever feel that you're not very productive? Maybe a list like this would tell a different story for your life, too!
|Sometimes Lucy has to go to jail so I can get things done. There's no way I can sweep
the floors when she's loose. She thinks attacking and hanging on to the broom is the best game ever!

Children need sleep; a lot of it. In fact, research indicates that getting adequate sleep is more than a luxury. It's a biological necessity; as important to good health and well-being as is proper nutrition and exercise. Children who receive inadequate sleep over an extended period can be expected to exhibit symptoms of sleep deprivation. Thus, it is not surprising that sleep loss has been shown to negatively impact cognitive functioning and daytime behaviors. Children's sleep deprivation has been linked to decreased memory, attentiveness, and organizational skills. Sleep loss in children has also been associated with increased anxiety, agitation, endocrine disorders, and hyperactivity (Gregory & Sadeh, 2012).
Inadequate sleep for school-age children may be a greater problem today than in the past. Some researchers have suggested that children's active lifestyles, increased homework assignments, and other pressures of growing up in a 24/7 society may be contributing to the decreased levels of nightly sleep noted in the school-aged population. Evening television viewing, surfing the Internet, and text messaging further contribute to the problem.
Benjamin Frankly proclaimed, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." The American school system seems to have taken Ben's adage to heart with middle and high schools commonly beginning before 8:00 am. This becomes a problem when one considers that "early to bed" may not be an option for teens who often struggle to meet the demands of extracurricular activities (e.g., sports, student government), after-school work schedules, family obligations, homework, and social lives. This has become such a problem that the American Academy of Pediatrics has identified inadequate sleep as "one of the most common, important, and potentially remediable health risks in children."
In addition to the usual sleep disturbances a child may face, this month we will start Daylight Saving Time. Moving the clock forward or back one hour is something that makes adults sleepy for a couple of days as their bodies adjust to the change, but it can take toddler and older children a little longer to assume a new sleep routine but there are ways you can minimize the impact of daylight saving on your child's sleep patterns. Kidspot offers some ideas on their website to help families transition successfully to the time change:
To change your child's body clock to daylight saving time:
- A few days before daylight saving starts, get your child into bed a little earlier each night – they may not actually go to sleep until their regular bedtime but by getting them to bed earlier, you are encouraging their body (and mind!) to relax a little earlier than usual and this will lead to falling asleep earlier too – it just might take a couple of nights.
- Don't try to wear your child out in a bid to get them to sleep earlier – overtired children often actually take longer to fall asleep and may even resist sleep completely.
Daylight savings tips
- The big challenge for parents during daylight saving is convincing kids that it's bedtime when the sun is still shining! If your child struggles to sleep in the daylight, try making their room darker and take extra care to ensure that their bedtime routine is as sleep conducive as it can be. No rousing games of hide-and-seek just before bed!
- If your child keeps waking too early, ensure that they understand that you don't consider this an acceptable time to start the day. Encourage them to doze but if they really want to be awake, encourage them to stay in bed doing a quiet activity. Some parents put a clock beside their child's bed and explain what time it has to be before they can get up for the day!
- Children with good sleep routines -have a quiet time routine before bed, stay in their bed through the night and don't need help to get to sleep – cope well with the changes in time as they know what to expect at the end of the day regardless of the time.
- Generally it takes about a week after the clocks have changed for everyone, no matter what age, to be in a new sleeping pattern so try to have patience if you have a tired and grumpy child on your hands in the days after the time change.

A letter to the editor written by Betty and George Merrill and published in June 4th editions of The Sun contained two typographical errors. It should have said that the opinions of black people on interracial dating are "worth noting." Also, it should have said that Bull Connor attacked black civil rights protesters with "fire hoses."
The Sun regrets the errors.

The Demise of the Dravidian, Vedic and Paramunda Indus myths

I am publishing my sixth research paper directly online as it is an extension of my previous papers. Kindly read pages 4 to 18 as it contains a detailed discussion of the term 'Aryan'. This paper shows why the Dravidian, Vedic and Paramunda Indus theories are not tenable.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/136268397/The-demise-of-the-Dravidian-Vedic-and-Paramunda-Indus-myths

Methods to reconstruct the languages of the Harappans were presented in the present and previous papers. We hope other scholars take up the exercise of reconstructing the languages of the Indus Valley civilization!

The older papers were written taking the assumptions of the 19th century school of Indology as a base and working backwards. These may appear to be outdated now (at the end of our very long journey). However, the fundamentals are still correct.

Post-Harappan India (1600 BC to 600 BC)

1. Literacy in post-Harappan india (obviously literacy in post-Harappan India existed in certain pockets & were limited to very small sections of society- alphabetic scripts were brought from West Asia and the Indus script also continued – this a very logical and self-explanatory paper and anyone can cross-verify the conclusions)

JT's 4th Mini-album Big Bang VN

thoughts
I'm really impressed with this mini-album. It shows how much BB has grown in 2 years they've been away. I have to say, this whole mini-album was very J-Pop influenced, well considering "Hands Up" and "Somebody to Love" were originally Japanese songs.

Yes, Cafe deserves it's own paragraph. Cafe is really an amazing song. It's like there's a bunch of upbeat J-Pop-ish K-pop then there's this one chill song at the end. Just like on the "Stand Up" mini-album, all K-pop songs, then there's "Oh My Friend." It's one song that completely stands out. Just like DaeSung said during SBS The Big Bang Show…Marta Claverohttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

Mysterious and comical. This is lighter in tone, for a Hitchcock film. Some good fun.
mitchellyoung 08/17/2011 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
This is an underappreciated early gem from Hitchcock. It features the right blend of light comedy and mystery to remain interesting and thrilling until the unsuspecting conclusion.
TheWolf 08/21/2007 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
While "The Lady Vanishes" may not have the trademark Hitchcock look of some of the Master's later films, it is still terrific. While it may seem dated, and this is Hitchcock's early work, the film still has all the trademarks of the Master of Thrillers.
Chris Kavan 07/29/2007 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
What begins as a light romance takes a mysterious turn under the deft hand of Alfred Hitchcock. No one is who you think they are, and a missing woman is the catalyst for an international conspiracy.

The Lady Vanishes review
A group of strangers bond in a hotel and train. Iris Henderson (Margaret Lockwood) meets an old lady named Froy (May Whitty). It is evident even in the early works of Hitchcock that he really chooses gorgeous actresses. One of the best quotes from the picture: Iris I have no regrets. Ive done everything. Froy - Some people have so little consideration of others. I dont think you can judge any country based on its politics. One of the characters speaks so fast which is difficult to understand the film at times. It had few unbelievable scenes such as a stranger coming inside another girls room who she doesnt know, which is not even locked. Pace of the film is slow even the first 30min. was not that interesting. However, the pace improves and its themes of regrets, apprec...

A combination of intense consolidation, a fairly buoyant economy and the entrance of Generation Y makes for a more fluid market for talent that re/insurers will have to respond to. Intelligent Insurer investigates.
A combination of the plethora of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the re/insurance industry and the attitudes and expectations of Generation Y (the generation born primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, also sometimes referred to as the Millennials) to their careers means the industry is experiencing higher than normal levels of turbulence in its workforce at the moment, according to recruitment experts.
The high levels of consolidation in reinsurance in particular has become a fact of life in recent years as companies have been squeezed on both sides of the balance sheet by a combination of low investment returns and soft rates. More deals driven by these forces are expected to emerge in 2016.
There were some very big deals in 2015, including the $28.3 billion tie-up between ACE and Chubb, the $18 billion deal that created Willis Towers Watson and Exor's lengthy battle to finally acquire PartnerRe for $6.9 billion in July last year.

On a different note, my daughter needs a stronger prescription. not eye surgery B"H. anyway I am pooped. So I will post more later, or sooner if my son's school decides to be stupid again.
This blog is about a day in the life of a frum (orthodox Jewish) mother with small children.
At 10:32 a.m., A26 said…
Wow. I cannot believe his teacher. What kind of a teacher is she? I would complain to the school district or the pricncipal or something. Your son's teacher is not being fair at all. He is picking on him from top to bottom. That is not good. I would do something about it in a nice way. Just say that his teacher is budding in (in a nice way) and that you don't think it is fair the way he is being treated. Maybe they can speak to her. Maybe she has some sort of problem. Does she have any of her own kids? It doesn't seem like she does because a mother goes out of the way for their kids and then the teacher complains after you spent tons of money on him?? I agree with you. CHUTZPA!!
The teacher has several of her own kids. I did tell the principal the next day that this is getting to be too much, and that I felt like we were being picked on by the teacher and she told me I am being way too sensitive. I think because the school is geared for kids ranging from mild to severe disabilities, they need to be involved more than usual than a normal school setting but they shouldn't in our case as my kid is not disabled in that way B"H, he just has attention deficit disorder, and next year will be in a school for just that. I have heard from another parent this teacher can be quite difficult. The principal loves her though. when I went to pick up my son yesterday the teacher was still ranting about the shoes. She had it assesed the occupational and physical therapist. Sigh. I am in for a real treat this year.

WASHINGTON -- In a signal that the Bush administration is inching toward possible military intervention in Yugoslavia, National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft said that the conflict in the Balkans could soon become a threat to the security of the United States and its European allies.
"It's already out of control," Mr. Scowcroft said of the war among the former Yugoslav republics. "As the conflict goes on and defies attempts at solution, the risks of it directly impinging on the interests of the Euro-Atlantic community increase."
Mr. Scowcroft said that the United States still hopes that the Serbs and Bosnians fighting around Sarajevo will agree to a cease-fire and allow a United Nations peacekeeping force to secure the city. And he refused to forecast what the administration would do if it becomes clear that no cease-fire is possible.
