That was upgraded from the 2.4 per cent previously forecast while Danske is also predicting a 2.3 per cent growth in 2015.
The report said the positive figures were due to rising employment levels, a recovery in the local housing market, improved confidence, improved credit conditions and the recent re-bound in the neighbouring economies of Britain and the Republic.

|Shock and Oscars
2006: Three 6 Mafia's "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from "Hustle & Flow" wins Best Original Song
The case against: It's a pretty lame song. And it glorifies pimping.
The case for: The Academy finally got up-to-date and gave an award to a hip-hop jam!
Bing: More about 'Hustle & Flow' | More about Three 6 Mafia
What really happened (we think): Whether you think it glorifies pimping or not, the movie the song is from, "Hustle & Flow," got a rep as a likable indie underdog pretty early into its summer theatrical run and was a solid sleeper hit. It was also an extremely thin year for the competition. Only two other songs were nominated: the wet-noodle-ish "In the Deep," from "Crash," an award for which would have looked like special pleading; and a meh Dolly Parton tune from the little-seen "Transamerica." Some people must have also thought that an Oscar win for a rap ensemble would make for an awesome Oscar moment. That hunch was correct: The exuberant winners were the hit of the night.

What about where to place my rivers too?
I included a map for size comparison as well.
I don't know what else to say so.... Thanks.

I do not see anything wrong with them. When it comes to rivers, remember that they flow from high ground to low ground, and USUALLY do not split on the way there. they JOIN with others to make the larger rivers. Lakes might have many feeders, but only ONE exit flow. My one suggestion about your land shape, would be remove that land bridge at the northern tip of your largest lake. This would allow for some interesting sea lanes much akin to the Straits of Gibraltar. Anyhoot, follow those river pointers and you should be fine. :)
Ah, but on the gibraltar part the land bridge up there is kinda in Alaskan temperature, does that affect the shipping? I originally wanted that to be a giant freshwater lake too but now that I think about it I'm not so sure...
Also I have some rivers here, do they work? (sorry for the clutter) http://universesandbox.com/forum/ind...0;attach=19969
Unless it has an outlet, it's not going to be freshwater -- and maybe even if it has one. Yeah, if there's even just pack ice there much of the year, it would be not so useful for navigation. It would be interesting though if it were a broad enough strait to leak bergs into the Maixen.
Most of those rivers are fine. The delta at Paridaniton is a little iffy - that's not a big enough watershed upstream to generate lots of sediment. But hey - maybe the elevation of its headwaters is geologically young, and the Thandawenne is eroding like crazy <shrug>. T'were it my continent I'd probably give more of those dead- end lakes outlets to the sea.
It looks nice - I like crisp & sharp over gradients & shading, lotsa times.
I'm sort of thinking about connecting the lake of the siempre river and Maixen too, actually.
And I'll probably place a few more outlets for the lakes--the borders actually obstruct a river that flows down from Faehrenfall to the bay up north.
I am not sure the big central lake on top of the mountain would work - since there won't be anything feeding it, except perhaps rain.
Really like your coastlines overall - very neat.
@ Bartmoss I don't see much of a problem as the contour interval is 500 meters (or close to 1500+ feet) which is quite enough to generate flows for a lake....think the Great Lakes between the US and Canada. Think of it more as a lake in the middle of a large high plateau
The great lakes aren't on top of a mountain. Remember, water flows downhill.
Okay I am kinda confused about which lake we are talking about.....So for arguments sake I will identify which one I am talking about. At the northern end of the continent, there is a small land bridge that separates the ocean from a very large lake/inland sea. to the south of that lake there is a "plateau" 5 contours up with a lake in it. THAT is the lake which I am talking about. That "plateau" has a terrain elevation variance of at least 1500 feet (500 meters) which I was saying was more than enough to create enough water flow that a lake might form in the lowest part of it.
My reference to the Great Lakes was in that they are situated in an area that while not flat, are not in what I would call "mountainous" terrain.
If you are talking about a different lake, please let me know...
PS: on rereading this post it sounds a little rough.. Sorry about that ...not my intent, but I do want to know if we are talking about the same thing...
Everything looks good! Your mountain heights look good. I was concerned at first because they seemed a bit low, but I double checked and they are aout as high as the rocky mountains in the US. So, good job!

The Porsche series 996 marked the beginning of the modern watercooled era for the 911, which was embraced by some and completely shunned by others. It is interesting that this same sentiment still exists 13 years after the 996 was first introduced in 1999, the proof being that an equivalent model Porsche 993 (the previous generation 911, and the last of the legendary aircooled models) fetches a significantly higher price in today's used car market. We fully concede that the 996 is not quite as beautiful as the 993 (or even the current 997); its "fried egg" lights up front, lines that were somewhat less sexy than the previous generation, and questionable interior styling definitely take some points off. But for savvy european car enthusiasts, there are indeed some very good reasons for selecting a 996 as your first or next project car buildup. The top incentives being: 1) amazing bargain base prices; 2) very good power, brakes, and handling (it is a real Porsche after all); 3) all inherent problems are now very well documented; and 4) there is an abundance of aftermarket products available.
We decided to back up our claims by starting our own 996 project build. After reviewing the 996 market, we felt that the best bang-for-the-buck model, and the one that had the greatest potential for the type of performance machine we were looking for (i.e., flippin' fast and slot-car handling) was the 996 Turbo. A 7- to 10-year-old 996TT can be purchased for anywhere between $25,000 and $45,000, depending on age and condition. And it is representative of a true budget supercar, as it once cost some poor (rich) soul well over $100,000.
When purchasing a used 996TT there are a few minor mechanical things to look for. Wheel bearings, rear spoiler hydraulic leak (leading to the wing failing to rise at speed), and both the clutch accumulator and slave cylinder are prone to failure and are all known weak points. Also, we recommend a full pre-purchase inspection (PPI) by a well-respected Porsche technician when considering the purchase of any used Porsche.
We began by addressing all outstanding maintenance and repair items, and gave our car a good once-over for both safety and peace of mind. After that formality, we got to know our new friend both on the street and at the track. Getting some seat time will allow you to learn the car and, more importantly, help you decide what direction you want to go in terms of future modifications, if any. As mentioned, our goal will be all-out performance, so most certainly driving the car at the track will red-flag the high-performance deficiencies that we will document in our project car series.
Our subject is a 2001 996 Turbo, which was purchased for $32,000 in California. The "new to us" machine is gloss black with a full black leather interior and adaptive sport seats. As luck would have it, this car came with a few aftermarket upgrades already installed by a previous owner. These goodies include Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, aftermarket engine ECU programming—believed to be Evolution Motorsports (EVOMS), due to the EVOMS air intake box system also installed. The factory exhaust and turbo system are still in place, and with a maximum measured boost 1.1bar, it is highly probable that the car currently has, give or take, 500 hp at the flywheel (note that the factory 2001 996TT was rated at 420 hp at 0.8bar boost). It is comparably as quick or quicker in a straight line than the current 997 GT3, GT3 RS and Turbo models, with the exception of the latest 997.2 Turbo S and the GT2 RS. Essentially, it's a great place to start our project car build.
Our track time uncovered the fact that the older (and likely worn out) Bilstein PSS9 coilover system was too softly sprung and too weakly damped for our kind of serious track use; note that this setup is more of a street performance upgrade. Also, the existing OEM factory suspension, rubber bushings and so on allowed for far too much suspension movement in toe/caster changes. This well-used suspension combination caused imprecise handling nuances and destructive tire wear (all four tires needed to be replaced after just a few track outings). In addition, a major issue with the 996TT AWD system is the lack of a limited-slip differential (LSD) in the rear; the system is fairly unsophisticated in that the viscous coupling simply transfers power to the front wheels when there's a difference in wheel speed from front to rear (up to 30 percent of the max power can be transferred to the front). This works nicely on the street, but at the track when accelerating out of corners, the car will push like a pig when the inner rear wheel loses traction and power transfers to the front wheels. We also tried our 996TT in RWD mode (a la GT2), by simply removing the center driveshaft (about 30 minutes of work underneath the car), as this modification is highly touted for track use in some online forums. However, without a rear LSD, this resulted in drastically slower lap times due to inner wheel spin on corner exits. But on the other hand, it did allow for some seriously cool drift action. Regardless of RWD or AWD preference, we believe there will be marked improvement in handling with the addition of a rear LSD.
In the next series article, we will install a new aftermarket LSD, pick up a new set of tires, and collect an official baseline lap time at the test track using our Traqmate GPS data acquisition system. Our budget supercar will then be ready for future tweaks and refreshing of its already-excellent brake system, a full suspension makeover, and numerous other go-fast additions… and deletions.
Is there anymore information on this project?

[A]fter consultation with each of the Texas A&M University System Regents, I have decided that, effective immediately, Texas A&M will no longer award points for legacy in the admissions review process.
Typically, anywhere from 1,650 to more than 2,000 A&M applicants a year receive legacy points, so called because they reward the grandchildren, children or siblings of A&M graduates. Such applicants receive 4 points on a 100-point scale that also takes into account such factors as class rank, test scores, extracurricular activities, community service and others. Most A&M applicants admitted with legacy points don't need them to get in. But in 2003, 312 whites were admitted who wouldn't have been without their alumni ties. In 2002, that figure was 321. The legacy program was the difference for six blacks and 27 Hispanics in 2003, and three blacks and 25 Hispanics in 2002.I expect we will hear from the White House any day now about how wrong this is.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (UPI) — A measure that would tighten rules and increase fines for oil and gas pipeline violations has gained bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress, a lawmaker said.
U.S. House of Representatives and Senate leaders agreed on the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act. It calls for tighter safety rules and would increase the maximum fine for safety violations from $1 million to $2 million.
"Pipeline safety is an issue that is important to all Americans, but it hits especially close to home for me as I have witnessed a pipeline tragedy in my home district," U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House energy committee, said in a statement.
"To support a strong economy we need access to affordable energy supplies, but first and foremost, we need to ensure our energy supplies are transported safely."
Pipeline company Enbridge is still working to clean up a spill of heavy Alberta crude in Upton's home state of Michigan following last year's rupture of Line 6B of the Lakehead system.
Last month, pressure tests on natural gas pipelines in California revealed a leak on a 24-inch pipe in Palo Alto, Calif. The leak was on a section of the pipeline that exploded in San Bruno, Calif., last year, killing eight people and destroying 38 homes.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is to hear from first responders, government officials and the pipeline industry about the best strategies to prepare for and respond to pipeline emergencies.

Today, Rackspace adds support for Microsoft Private Clouds, which gives you more choice in which type of Private Cloud environment powers your business.
Rackspace Startup Program member Ember offers an online video advertising platform that offers its customers an alternative to TV ads to enable them to optimize ad spend.
How can DevOps free up my developers? How can I scale MongoDB? How can I ensure my ecommerce site doesn't crumble under massive growth? These questions and many more are at the heart of a series of one-day summits Rackspace is hosting called Rackspace::Solve. The first is Monday, July 28 at the St. Regis in San Francisco.
Bank of England CIO Peter Finch issued a misinformed warning in a recent article, telling companies that if your cloud provider is an "American company, it is likely that your data and processing is now subject to the American Patriot Act. And, if it is integrated to your infrastructure, it is likely that all your services are subject to the Patriot Act." Such advice not only misinterprets and misrepresents US law, it misleadingly implies that US cloud providers are somehow both unable and unwilling to protect the data entrusted with them by their customers from US law enforcement agencies. Finch's statement is inaccurate. Here, I'll highlight what you need to know about your data and the Patriot Act.
In his keynote address at the O'Reilly Velocity conference in Santa Clara, Calif., Rackspace Senior Product Manager James Colgan explained how growing companies can get better performance by moving past mere infrastructure automation and toward self-adaptive and autonomous infrastructure. Check out video of James' Velocity keynote.
Later this week, we're releasing a new feature that allows you to easily attach files directly from your Dropbox into Rackspace Webmail. This means that after a quick 'account sync,' all of your Dropbox files are just a click away.
At Rackspace::Solve San Francisco on July 28, payment services company WePay will showcase how it uses Rackspace Managed Cloud and DevOps Automation Service to accommodate swift growth and scale. Here's a sneak peek from WePay and registration information for Rackspace::Solve.
So you wanna learn you some Hadoop, eh? Well, get ready to drink from the firehose, because the Hadoop ecosystem is crammed full of software, much of which duplicates efforts, and much of which is named so similarly that it's very confusing for newcomers. In the first of this two-part series, I cover the most common and core pieces of functionality.
In this post, I'll outline the steps to go from Rackspace Private Cloud v4.2.1 to v4.2.2 using the Rackspace Private Cloud Chef Recipes.
Rackspace Startup Program member RunLastMan, an Ireland-based fundraising site through which clubs, organizations and charities raise money through sports betting, is growing quickly on the Rackspace Cloud.

May, Rollo
Publication Timeline
Most widely held works about Rollo May
Most widely held works by Rollo May
Love and will by Rollo May ( Book )
40 editions published between 1966 and 2007 in English and held by 3,127 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Includes sections on Freud, Puritanism, and Eros
The meaning of anxiety by Rollo May ( Book )
40 editions published between 1950 and 2011 in English and Undetermined and held by 2,999 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This book is the result of several years of exploration, research, and thought on one of the most urgent problems of our day. Clinical experience has proved to psychologists and psychiatrists generally that the central problem in psychotherapy is the nature of anxiety. To the extent that we have been able to solve that problem, we have made a beginning in understanding the causes of integration and disintegration of personality. This study seeks to bring together in one volume the theories of anxiety offered by modern explorers in different areas of our culture, to discover the common elements in these theories, and to formulate these concepts so that we shall have some common ground for further inquiry. If the synthesis of anxiety theory presented here serves the purpose of producing some coherence and order in this field, a good part of the writer's goal will have been achieved. For those interested in a comparative survey of modern schools of psychotherapy, this volume should serve as a convenient textbook, presenting as it does the views of a dozen leaders in this field. There is no better way to understand these various schools than to compare their theories of anxiety. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved)
The courage to create by Rollo May ( Book )
41 editions published between 1975 and 2009 in 3 languages and held by 2,944 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement.

"This book represents the fruition of four years labor--most of it, fortunately, a labor of love. The idea of translating these papers, originating with Ernest Angel, was welcomed by Basic Books because of their enthusiasm for bringing out significant new material in the sciences of man. I was glad to accept their invitation to participate as one of the editors since I, too, had long been convinced of the importance of making these works available in English, particularly at this crucial moment in the development of modern psychiatry and psychology. We asked Dr. Ellenberger to join us as the third editor because of his extensive knowledge of the literature of phenomenological and existential psychiatry and his clinical experience in using these methods in Switzerland. He and Mr. Angel are chiefly responsible for the selection of the particular papers translated. In our introductory chapters, Dr. Ellenberger and I have undertaken the task of making a bridge between these contributions and American psychiatry and psychology, while Mr. Angel has borne the major weight of the translations themselves"--Préf.

I'm not an NFL player, but as a non-terrorist who happens to be a Jew, let me say that this is hogwash. It's yellow journalism without any of the flair. Instead of Waksman asking why Aboushi deserves to be employed by the Jets, I think we should ask Yahoo! why they would publish a piece that accuses an NFL player of anti-Semitism without one solitary quote or piece of actual evidence. This is worse than your typical "keep your politics out of my sports" hit piece. It's slander.
The grisly reality of eight days of war has seared itself in Nader Basioni's mind. Since an Israeli air strike slammed into a nearby field on November 15, his nightmares replay in graphic detail how a fleck of metal from that explosion tore through the family home and decapitated his nine-year-old brother, Fares, who was sleeping in the same room.
"His head was gone except for a piece of skin of his face," Nader, 14, recalled on Friday at his home in Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip.
"I'm afraid to sleep because I see him in my dreams. It's the same thing over and over - Fares is gone. He's dead."

What the Year Has Left Us
Here's what sizzled & what fizzled in Latin music in 2012
By The Right Track Dec 27, 2012 9:56PM
By Juan Carlos Pérez-Duthie
How best to describe the year that is about to end in music?
Charles Dickens had it right when he wrote over a century ago in the opening of his novel A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…"
With that in mind, and with 2012 coming to a close, I thought it would be a healthy mental exercise to go over what rocked and what sucked in this country's Latin music industry.
Here, in no particular order, some of those hits and misses:
- Best sign that, even under the populist regime of Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, good music can still come out of that country: singer, songwriter, musician and philosophy (!) teacher Ulises Hadjis.
- Most intoxicating voice that needs to be heard more here: that of Spanish chanteuse Amaia Montero, formerly with La Oreja de Van Gogh, and who this year had her sophomore solo album, 2, released in the Americas.
- Most annoying voice that mercifully now rarely gets heard here: that of Mexican-with-a-Spanish accent Paulina Rubio, formerly with Timbiriche.
- The "WTF Happened?" Award: Chilean Beto Cuevas' ultra-cool, second solo album, Transformación, which unfortunately didn't transform much at all.
- Unnecessary, but fun remake: Puerto Rican Luis Fonsi's single Claridad, popularized eons ago by boy band Menudo.
- The "Can Someone Explain to Me This Video I Just Saw?!" Award: Mexican phoenix Gloria Trevi for her video of the song La Noche.
- Song by Gloria Estefan that should have received more airplay: Hotel Nacional.
- Song by Gloria Estefan that should be buried forever: Wepa.
- Best music by a non-Hispanic artist with a Latino-sounding name: Lana del Rey.
- Cool song that nobody heard from a weird movie that no one saw: Casa de mi padre, by half-Ecuadorean Christina Aguilera.
- The "Really? She's back? Oh Lord" Award: to Mexican diva Thalía.
- Songs that easily lodged in your brain (some people loved them, others hated them): Spanish DJ, singer, and producer Juan Magán's Bailando por ahí and Bailando por el mundo; Tacatá, by Italian group Tacabro and featuring the voice of Cuban performer Martínez Rodríguez.
- Brazilian track that made many go bananas: Ai Se Eu Te Pego! by Michel Teló.
- The most improbable comeback: Puerto Rican Elvis Crespo, in Ilegales' Yo no soy un monstruo and with Fito Blanko in Pegaíto Suavecito.
- The sink-or-swim comeback: Juanes.
- The "Duh! What Took You So Long To Record This?" Award: Gloria Trevi for Gloria.
- The not-so-hot video and song that I guess were supposed to be: Caliente, by Romanian pop artist Inna.
- Worst trend: The unjustified violence against fans of reggaetón music, particularly in Mexico and in Argentina. Doesn't matter how bad the music may be.
- Best trend: More nominations and recognition for Best New Artists in awards shows.
- Good to have them among us: Groups Domino Saints and Bocatabú, singer Rakel.
- Most disappointing hit and worst song title: Lovumba, by Daddy Yankee.
- Most ubiquitous personalities: Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, J.Lo.
- Best reason to call in Family Services: The dreadfulness of the rap music by kids like Miguelito.
- The "So Bad It's Good" Award: to Peruvian Juana Judith Bustos Ahuite, better known as La Tigresa del Oriente, for New Brighter Day, her English-language cover of her 2011 song Nuevo Amanecer. Really, you have to Google it. But you've been warned.
- Time to retire anything sung by: American of Mexican ancestry Selena Gómez; telenovela stars; American of Hispanic and mixed heritage Demi Lovato.
- Best voice still going strong after a career spanning decades: Mexican American Vikki Carr.
- Saddest news: the untimely death of Mexican American Jenni Rivera.
- Fusion album I liked the most: Primero Amarillo Después Malva, by Lara Bello.
- Fusion album I disliked the most: Bela y Sus Moskitas Muertas, by Beatriz Luengo.
- The "Bah, Humbug" Award: Me, for no longer enjoying Christmas classics in Spanish like Feliz Navidad and El burrito de Belén. And Feliz Año Nuevo para todos.

As someone who loves both a) sunshine and b) shopping 'til I pass out, I'm lucky enough to get to fly over every so often to the Sunshine State of Florida (my boyfriend's parents have a beautiful house there, I'm not going to lie -- I'm totally smug right now). Whenever I set foot into one of the many incredible shopping malls -- the air con! The food courts! - something chemical happens. It's like a Jekyll and Hyde transformation. I turn into Sephora's bitch.
Every single time, I budget carefully. I have stern words with myself – "Natalie, don't be a bloody idiot. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you need this time, NOTHING AT ALL. Think of your overdraft. You spend most of the month eating Pot Noodles. Do not buy anything this time."
Then I go completely batshit mental and spunk all my dollars on OPI for Sephora polishes -- OPI costs around £12 a pop here in the UK!! Oh and PHILOSOPHY! I love their stuff. Surely I can treat myself to another bottle of Amazing Grace? And maybe that Field of Flowers set I saw discounted? NARS is so much cheaper!!!!!!!! You catch my drift. My eyes glaze over. My debit card welds itself to my hand. I go into battle-mode. Elbows out. GAME ON. I turn into a shopping psychopath.

Title: Rearing Fopius Arisanus (Sonan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in Mediterranean Fruit Fly Authors

Submitted to: Hawaiian Entomological Society Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: February 28, 2005
Publication Date: December 1, 2007
Citation: Harris, E.J., Bautista, R.C., Vargas, R.I., Jang, E.B. 2007. Rearing Fopius arisanus (Sonan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae). Proc. Hawaiian Entomol Soc. 39:121-126. Interpretive Summary: The egg-larval parasitoid Fopius arisanus is the most effective parasitoid established in the field in Hawaii suppressing the oriental fruit fly and medfly. A laboratory colony of F. arisanus reared on oriental fruit fly since 1986 was used as the source of parasitoids to establish a colony of F. arisanus on the medfly. Both colonies of the egg parasitoid are routinely mass reared and released to support the Hawaii AWIPM Program and to support classical biological control in French Polynesia and Reunion Island.
Technical Abstract: The egg-larval parasitoid Fopius (=Biosteres) arisanus (Sonan) (= Opius oophilus Fullaway) (Hymenotera: Braconidae) is the most effective parasitoid of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (Diptera: tephritidae)and Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: tephritidae). Based on field observations of F. arisanus parasitizing medfly in coffee and oriental fruit fly in guava, we postulated that a strain of F. arisanus could be selected in the laboratory to be exclusively reared on medfly. We report the results of these studies.

If you're a new dad in danger of feeling like a spare part then be assured that you have a crucial role to play in the care of your new baby
Preparation, experience and confidence
If you haven't had much experience with babies in the past then you might lack the confidence that you can care for your baby well. But remember that while many men (and women) assume that women are naturally better parents, both you and your partner will be feeling your way as new parents and learning on the job and there's nothing to say you can't be every bit as capable with your baby as your partner.
Your partner may well have been more focused on the baby during pregnancy and so have read up a lot about looking after a newborn, but you can also read up on the what your baby needs and how your baby changes as she grows (going to ante-natal classes with your partner is a good start for picking up baby-care basics). You need to know how to keep your baby healthy and safe so make sure you know how to hold, change, dress, feed and bathe her, as well as how to put her down to sleep safely. Make sure you get to grips with any baby paraphernalia, such as steriliser, thermometer, special bedding etc. right away, so you don't always have to defer to your partner for instructions.
While reading up is important, there's no substitute for actually spending time with your baby and getting to know her and her individual needs, and there's plenty that you can do to look after the baby yourself. Here it's important that you don't just do all the nice things, like cuddling and playing with your baby, but that you also roll up your sleeves and get stuck in with changing those nappies, wiping up sick and spit-up and settling your crying baby - night and day. Of course it's also important that you do spend plenty of time cuddling and bonding with your baby, carrying her, lowering your face close to her and talking to her gently, as well as learning how to interpret her cries and meet those needs which you can.
Remember too that your baby's needs, abilities, sleeping and feeding patterns and so on, will change all the time, particularly quickly during these first twelve months, so you need to stay involved to stay confident and competent. If you do have to spend chunks of time away from your baby then make sure you ask your partner for any important updates, such as changes in how she likes to be held or when she sleeps etc.
Feeding time?
If you and your partner are bottle feeding then it will be easy for you to feel part of the feeding team, you can give your baby feeds whenever you are home, help out with the cleaning, sterilising and preparation of bottles and take on some of the night feeds to give your partner chance to get a few hours' sleep together.
If your partner is breastfeeding you might think that there's not much you can do, but in fact, studies have shown that partners often play a crucial role in successful breastfeeding. Most important of all is the emotional support you can give your partner in letting her know that you think it's wonderful that she's giving your baby the best start in life and in encouraging her to keep going if things get tough. Some women find it difficult to breastfeed in public and may appreciate you supporting them in that. Secondly you can physically support her breastfeeding by freeing up some of her time (by taking on more of the other household tasks yourself, for example), by making sure that she's getting enough rest (which is important to keep up her milk flow and keep her healthy) and by making sure that there is healthy and appetising food to hand, including healthy snacks to keep her strength up.
Those pesky chores
If your partner is finding the first couple of weeks tough, you might be unsure of how you can best muck in, in which case ask, don't wait to be asked. It's also important, though, that you take the initiative yourself, so it feels more like teamwork than you 'helping' your partner. It's a fairly safe bet that you can play an important role by doing more of the household chores, such as cooking, cleaning, washing and buying the groceries, so that your partner has more time to look after the baby, or simply rest. While these jobs aren't directly looking after the baby and certainly aren't the most exciting, they are all important parts of the teamwork that needs to be done. A common cause of disagreements between couples is differing standards of tidiness and cleanliness - if this affects you then try to sit down together and agree on what your household priorities are and set some broad standards you both want to meet.
Keeping up good communication with your partner is vital towards both of you feeling like you're working as a team, understanding each other's needs (yes, you have them too!), tackling the never-ending 'to-do' list efficiently, making time for each other and both getting quality, enjoyable time with your new baby, as well as a half-decent amount of sleep. Communicating effectively though can be rather difficult at a time when you're both battling lack of sleep and trying to get to grips with the new realities of parenthood: When you're over-tired and feeling under pressure it's easy for both of you to slip into being grumpy, tetchy and snappy. If you find that you and your partner aren't communicating that well in these first few weeks of parenthood then make a concerted effort to take time to talk to one another and listen to each other's point of view and preoccupations, and try to be as open as you can. You might find these ideas for developing active listening helpful.
More than anything else, take time to be with your baby and enjoy her in these first few weeks, these early days may not be the easiest, but you'll be amazed how quickly they are over, so don't miss out!

Introduction to Effective Practices
This project seeks to identify and share effective practices and ideas from member schools of the Association. We hope you will find this resource useful and easy to use. Our intention is that it will offer a starting point for your community's healthy development and growth. Nothing should be construed as the only solution to Waldorf School operations nor as model policy. We hope that schools will take the following to heart:
In the world things exist and things become, but only what is in the process of becoming is alive; what is already in existence is always dead. What is in existence is the corpse of what was becoming... What people want today is to attain as quickly as possible a complete and finished view of the world. Much of what comes to expression as inner disturbances and dissatisfaction will be alleviated only when, instead of demanding finished truths, our interest awakens for participation in the coming-into-being of truth. Certainly truths must be clearly defined, but what is expressed in finished concepts always refers to something that belongs to the past. However, the truths deposited, as it were, by the past we can absorb; by so doing they live in us, and we can in this way participate in truth.
Aspects of Human Evolution
1917 Rudolf Steiner p. 160
Communities using this resource are encouraged to consider these offerings, but not to take them dogmatically. We strongly encourage you to explore and consider other possibilities, and to keep us informed of your successes. It is also our intention that this resource itself undergo continual transformation and stays dedicated to the becoming in each school. We therefore expect you to offer other inspirations, suggestions, opposing viewpoints, and sample documents that can be shared more widely with the Waldorf community. We welcome your contributions!

I'm glad to see some solid rounds of buffs and nerfs to heroic bosses, I'm hoping that this will make dungeons have a more clear and stable level of difficulty. There always seems to be a boss that is far too easy or far too hard compared to everything else (like the dragon in VP) and that puts much added stress on pugs.
YES! This! I've been trying to beat this idea into the head of my friends since the changes were announced. Dungeons have a really disorienting roller coaster of difficulty as it exists right now. Bosses go from ridiculously easy (Silverlaine, Ptah, Anraphet, Assad, Grand Vizier) to pug-shatteringly hard (Ashbury, Setesh, Altairus) and then back again.
