Sophie Keller Tells Us How to Get Happy
Sophie Keller wants you to be happy. In fact, this happiness expert (and mom to 4-year-old Judah) has literally written the book on it. Four to be exact.
But rather than passing on wisdom from an exceptionally easy life, this British transplant, who lives in Santa Monica with her husband and son, says it's actually life's hurdles that have made her an expert on happiness.
"I was bullied a lot at school from the ages of 7 to 14 every day, and then I had a tennis accident, and my back collapsed, and I couldn't stand or sit without being in pain," she says. When doctors told her she wouldn't get better, Keller opted not to take no for an answer. Instead, she eventually healed her back through a Pilates technique, Alexander technique, meditation and therapy.
But it was when she suffered a miscarriage (before her pregnancy with her son) that she felt the most conviction about pursuing the road to happiness and helping others with their pain. "I committed to it in a really new way after this happened," she says.
Keller talked to mom.me about how moms can increase their happiness.
What are some of your happiness tips when it comes to parenting and being a mom?
The first thing is to not have too many children. I know that's a bit controversial. The key to being a great mom is balance, and often when we're young, we have an idea of how many kids we want. And then life does what life does to us, and circumstances change.
The key is to see where you are when you've had one. If you think your relationship is going beautifully, if you think you're handling having one beautifully and you can afford another, have another. But if you can't, rethink your belief system and where you are.

Is there a way to increase your happiness level when you're stressing out as a parent?
When you're parenting, it's very important to be balanced in your approach. Decide what you need to make yourself happy. Do you still need to be in the adult world? If you do, how can you make that happen? How can you make sure that you're fulfilled?
A lot of people say that once you have kids, the marriage takes a bit of a backseat. How can parents keep their marriages happy?
You've got to go on dates once a week. It's really important to stay connected. Make sure the kids, if they're young, are in bed at a certain time because you need to have your adult evenings.
It's important to keep that bond close, because the kids are going to be much happier if their backbone is strong—and their backbone is their mom and dad, or whoever is bringing them up. So the better the relationship is, the happier they are going to be.
It's also important (for kids) to see that arguments can be resolved easily. Don't be afraid to argue in front of your child, but make sure that you resolve it quickly in front of them. ... They can see that disagreements or differences of opinion can happen, but they've seen you resolve it in front of their eyes.
When it comes to having a happy home, in a sometimes messy house, what's the most important element to increasing the happiness factor?
By nature of us being women, we will be doing more of the cleaning up. You can't get away from that. If you think it's hard to do it with one child, then it's going to be doubly hard with two, and triply hard with three. And remember you've got your husband as well. The reality is that you can get them to do as much as you can get them to do, and you will be doing more. And come to terms with that.
Everyone's unique, and find what your talent is.
Many people are ditching Facebook because of endless comparisons that they feel they cannot live up to. How should people deal with that kind of "Keeping up with the Joneses"?
Everyone's unique. ... Find what you're good at, and focus on it. Forget everyone else, because everyone's completely unique. If you're so OK with yourself, it doesn't matter. And that goes for siblings, too.
Often it's that thing that you overlook that's so easy for you. So usually it's glaring at you in the face, what you're so brilliant at.
And just don't go online. Why do something that's going to make you upset? Pull away from it. You don't have to be on Facebook. It can stop us engaging with people hugely.
RELATED: 9 Facebook Fouls
How did you find happiness after the tragedy of your miscarriage?
I had lost a baby before (my son) at five-to-six months pregnant. After losing her, I wrote Healing After Miscarriage, a workbook and guided meditation for women who have lost babies during and just after pregnancy. And what it is is a workbook where you work through all these feelings that have come up for you—the anger, the grief, the guilt. You work it through in this workbook, and you listen to a guided meditation that helps you to let go of the baby, and let the baby go back to where they came from. And it helps you to heal.
When this happened to me (and [my baby's] name was India) the way that I worked through it with such grace was that I let myself feel all the emotions that I needed to feel. I knew that I was who I said I was. I was so authentic to who I am and what I teach. Her gift to me was that it made it very, very clear that I am ready to really be an expert in happiness and in the work that I do.
You said you had to deal with bullying when you were younger. How would you advise parents to deal with bullying?
Go straight to the school and deal with it. It's a button for me. You need to be very aware if it's happening and stop it quickly.
You're nurturing these young souls, and you've got to be very conscious of what you're doing.

It's actually still pretty early but I feel the need to let everyone know how my Chobani experience was, especially considering Michelle over at http://luckytastebuds.wordpress.com/ (GAH why can't I figure out how to link things properly??) just recently posted about her own Chobani tasting!
It was a nice change to have something cold compared to my usual elaborate oats. I didn't realized it but there's A LOT of yogurt in that container; it seemed never-ending! I ended up throwing that in a bowl with 1/4 of a boonana from yesterday, a bunch of strawberries (that I paid $2.50 for yesterday... grumble grumble) , and 2 tbsp wheat germ that I finally remembered to buy!
Overall, it gets a thumbs up from meee! I was trying to explain to my mom the taste difference but just couldn't. The Chobani has a much thicker texture than normal style yogurt which I think adds to the "fullness" factor. After eating that I definitely felt full and content, in a good way mind you. That was around 8:30 and it's almost noon and it's holding me over quite well! I never thought I would actually be saying this but it was definitely worth the 120 calories! I think I'm definitely acquiring a love for greek yogurt, although in retrospect I'll still continue to buy my Light & Fits, as well as my Yoplaits because I'm a poor college child. I most certainly buy it again... orrrrr I'll continue to check the blogs and test out the others first!
Oh hai... can we check this off as a.....
I think that's certainly an appropriate word! Small steps right? It's progress I think. A tad bittersweet considering I went, sigh, bathing suit shopping with the mom and I think that speaks for itself. Trying to not let it bother me that much, probably because I'm preoccupying myself with other things so I don't have time to think about it. Being positive, thinking positive and ED will eventually fall back asleep for a while. Gooodddddnighttttttt.
I'm getting more of my hair chopped off today to follow my new hair color (which ended up becoming a job for THREE boxes of hair dye) so I need to roam around the internet and hopefully find something I like! Until later <3

Chat is a new option for 2015 added to the FW Wikia. You can either wait around or get a group of friends together first, then click HERE to join in!
There's pros & cons with chat - some cons being that few people are in the room, messages aren't saved for long (unknown time atm) and not everyone would be online at the same hour. However, some pros are by setting a daily/nightly meeting time you can easily address a number of issues, concerns, etc in a short amount of time without having to refresh, delete messages, and not being limited by the number of characters/words said. Not to mention not everything can be conveyed in the same sense within a forum post, as chat lets you hold a conversation with everyone where as forums would be spam.
However, this is a great way to chat with other Fish Wranglers in a open friendly Chat room made for socializing with others. You can talk about and ask questions on the game or help people who have questions that you can answer.

The Diamondbacks went to extreme lengths to keep the Dodgers from disrespecting their pool.
The last time the Dodgers had something to celebrate at Chase Field they jumped in the pool in centerfield and everyone associated with the Diamondbacks threw a hissy fit. "I thought [they] were classier than that," Willie Bloomquist said.
When L.A. swept the D-Backs on Monday night, Arizona made sure that Yasiel Puig wasn't going to be able to take a celebratory dip.

The dumb thing is, the mounties didn't even really have to be there. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the day before that there was no way his players were going for another swim.
"That won't happen," Roberts said. "This is a completely different team and I think we have bigger goals than to jump into a swimming pool."
Too bad, it would have been a ton of fun.

As is their custom, Penn Charter and Springside Chestnut Hill Academy met for an early boys' track and field scrimmage last Friday afternoon on the all-weather circuit at SCH's Maguire Stadium.
There wasn't much insight to be gained as to how the Quakers and Blue Devils will match up in their official dual meet later on, since some key performers for each team were not in attendance. Among the missing for PC was senior Ben Szuhaj, the defending Inter-Ac champion in the 3200 meters. Even without a truly challenging rival, SCH sophomore Noah Chandler ran a disciplined two-mile and won the event easily on Friday.
Where SCH was lacking was in the shortest races. Four sprinters, juniors Nick Rowland and Jordan Johnson and seniors Phil Giovinazzo and Alex Mollick, had already headed up to New York City to perform in the 4 x 200-meter relay at the New Balance® Indoor Nationals [see separate article].
Blue Devils mentor Paul Hines was up the Big Apple along with this foursome, but another veteran head coach, Penn Charter's Steve Bonnie, was on hand to offer his thoughts about his own team and the make-up of the league for the 2015 season.
No fewer than 27 members of last year's Quakers squad graduated, including speedster James Biggs-Frazier, who won the 100-meter dash at the Inter-Ac League championships and was runner-up by a hundredth of a second in the 300 intermediate hurdles. Middle-distance and relay stalwarts Charlie Hoyt and Tre Williams also dashed off with their diplomas (Hoyt was second in the 400 at the league meet).
Two other members of their class, Gavin Hatfield and Drew Pierce, went two-three in the pole vault for PC at the Inter-Acs in 2014.
"We lost a lot of horses, a lot of points," Bonnie admitted. "Our hurdlers aren't bad. Our sprinters are young and they're not fast yet, so we've got to work on that. We've got a few quarter-milers, but not a 49-second guy like Daryl Worley ('13). We have a bunch of 51, 52-second kind of guys."
PC's Jamir Brown, now a senior, is a middle-distance runner who earned All-Inter-Ac honors in 2014. In the field events, the Quakers return high jumper Akeem Blake, who leapt to third place in the league last year while still only a freshman. Bonnie feels he'll get some points from junior Cole Liechty in the pole vault.
"He'll do 10'6" all day, and we'll see if we can get him to 12 feet," said the PC skipper, who added that he has a good shot put prospect in sophomore Sean Foley.
As a team, Penn Charter finished as Inter-Ac runner-up to Malvern Prep last season, but Bonnie cautioned, "I don't think we have the depth some of the other schools this year; we'll need to pick up every point we can wherever we can."
Eying up the opposition, Charter's coach observed "SCH has the sprinters, and Malvern just has a lot of horses overall. Haverford is really strong and they'll have a shot at it. They have the jumpers, they have distance guys, and just a lot of athletic kids."
He predicted, "I think you'll see a depressed score [at the championships] this year; I can't see anybody getting 75 or 80 points. It'll be spread around, because even the teams that may not be able to win it have guys who can chip away at the points. I think 50-plus could win it, and I think 55 or 60 will absolutely win it."

The Balancing Act of an Aging Workforce
Our office of 27 employees is small enough that each individual has a major impact on our company culture. Yet we are large enough to experience trends affecting most American workplaces.
One trend is an aging workforce. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 25 percent of the U.S. workforce will soon be 55 or older. Many baby boomers are interested in continuing to work well beyond normal retirement age. Most cannot afford to retire given the low returns on conservative savings and retirement accounts.
In the insurance industry like many others, older workers have valuable knowledge that reflects years of experience that is difficult to replace. In addition, respondents to a recent study on an aging workforce noted that older workers have more professionalism (71 percent), a stronger work ethic (70 percent) and more reliability (59 percent) than their younger counterparts.
In our office I find that managing the demographics is a balancing act. The act involves tapping the experience and knowledge of our older workers while bringing on youth to maintain an energetic and forward-thinking environment. It is important to have a wide range of ages to meet the differing needs of our clients and companies. I feel it gives us a competitive advantage.
Planning is always a challenge. You don't know when an older employee might have a significant health issue, or just decide they have had enough. Attracting youth to the business is difficult as well.
The insurance industry lacks the sex appeal of many other industries for younger people. Additionally, it can be hard to show a young person a career growth path when you have people in higher level positions with no plans of retiring.
On the positive side, I enjoy demonstrating the mutual loyalty between our company and our older, often long-tenured employees by accommodating their needs and finding new roles for them to fulfill. We've achieved a nice balance between younger and older workers at W&G and the balance serves us well.
Unfortunately, after 27 years of employment here at W&G, I'm now part of the older bunch! Ouch!

KARNIVORE89 - We streamed our coverage of the VGA's last night and learned a lot about gaming. The lesson is, if anyone tries to acknowledge any little bit of the VGA's as something that mattered to gamers, they're a fucking idiot and don't deserve your attention and probably go take a long walk off a short pier.
Almost the entire show was completely unrelated to games and was big piles of advertisements and hired celebrities (except I don't know who the jackass hosting the event was?), although if you ever have seen the VGA's you knew all this.
The difference now is that game journalism is in a position to accept the VGA's as something that matters in some way. Never in the past did anyone lie to themselves that this shit mattered, but we have come to the point where everyone can lie to themselves about the quality of anything.
Charlie Sheen was there, remember him? He was that funny joke from months ago that isn't relevant. There were some really good Scott Pilgrim jokes, wonder why that movie bombed? Pretending you have traits from a video game in real life is genius, the tea-bagging joke they kept doing was great because of that.
Our stream also got blocked a bunch of times because of covering the awards, even though covering an actual game event like E3 was okay. It also was commentary so there's no issue there?
I would comment on the games shown off but I barely even remember what they were, I just remember lots of commercial breaks, celebrities, and a musical number we had to mute for the stream since it was so offensive.
Merry Christmas gamers, let's pretend this never happened and never cover this shit again.

Kepler Capital Markets has lifted its stance on price target on Rolls-Royce Holdings (LON:RR) following the engine maker's recent Capital Markets Day. The move comes after Deutsche Bank also lifted its valuation on the shares, following what the broker argued was a bullish outlook for the medium-term.
Rolls-Royce's share price fell in the previous session, giving up 2.57 percent to 916.00p. The decline was largely in line with the broader market selloff which saw the benchmark FTSE 100 index shed 172.43 points to end the session 2.24 percent in the red at 7,509.84, pressured by the escalating trade tensions between the US and China.
Kepler lifts stance on Rolls-Royce
Kepler lifted its rating on Rolls-Royce from 'reduce' to 'hold' yesterday, while also hiking its price target on the shares from 815p to 975p. WebFG News quoted the analysts as saying that they felt that the engine maker's mid-term free cash flow targets of 'at least' £1.8 billion to £1.9 billion were quite 'bold,' far surpassing the analysts' prior best assumptions of between £1.5 billion and 1.6 billion for the 2022-2023 period, leading to a 'tangible impact' on its valuation of the blue-chip group.
"We challenged them and concluded the targets are ambitious, but credible," the broker pointed out, as quoted by the newswire.
Kepler further noted the group's imminent disposal of its commercial marine unit as another potential benefit, with the Capital Markets Day having also provided proof that Rolls-Royce's Power Systems unit has room to grow further, while Defence is expected to benefit from a better environment in the US.
Analyst ratings update
Deutsche Bank lifted its price target on Rolls-Royce from 868p to 880p last week, while Citigroup continues to see the British engine maker as a 'buy,' without specifying a valuation on the shares. According to MarketBeat, Rolls-Royce currently has a consensus 'hold' rating and an average price target of 965.75p.
As of 08:07 BST, Tuesday, 26 June, Rolls-Royce Holding PLC share price is 916.00p.

Hellhookah talk Doom metal, foreign labels and Motörhead
Saturday November 7, was marked by 'Another Stoned Saturday' – a show held in Vilnius' nArauti club, which featured local Doom, Stoner Metal and Desert Rock influenced bands.
For those unfamiliar with these terms – Doom, and the later derivatives are specific types of metal music, which are characterised by their slower paced, riff-driven sound.
Following their set at nArauti, Music Export Fund caught up with one of the bands from 'Another Stoned Saturday' – the Doom two-piece, Hellhookah, featuring Arnas on guitar and vocals, and Gintarė on drums.
MXF: Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to us. You're probably really tired after your show, and no wonder, given you needed to fill the stage as a two-piece. How do you achieve such a full and heavy sound with the just the two of you?
Hellhookah: It took some trial and error in order to find this sound. When we first started playing shows, we would get comments that our sound was too thin, not heavy enough, and that we need to take on a bass player. But that was out of the question – we wanted to be a two-piece from the very beginning, so we spent some time experimenting with pedals and effects in order to sculpt this thick and full guitar tone, which covers a broad spectrum.
MXF: It seemed that everyone tonight in nArauti knew each other – is the Doom scene rather small in Vilnius?
Hellhookah: I guess you could say that most Doom enthusiasts are here tonight, so yeah, you could call it a rather bespoke genre here. More people are into Stoner Metal, which is a more contemporary and a more catchy iteration of the genre, but our style is more old school – something closer to the origins of Doom [metal].
MXF: Doom Metal and Stoner Metal often get a fair amount of grief from other metal fans on the grounds that it is too slow and too simple – do you get any of that here?
Hellhookah: It is true that most people who listen to heavy music often have a preference for fast tempos and flashy solos. And even though metal fans are known for their strict opinions, especially in the virtual realm, we don't get too many shots fired our way. Not directly at least.
MXF: What is it about Doom that you love the most?
Hellhookah: It's definitely the riffs. They just get you hooked. In speed-driven strains of metal, you need to stop and consciously engage – it's almost as if you need headphones and a controlled environment to appreciate the intricacies. Doom on the other hand, just grabs you and envelopes you – even if you're just a bystander.
MXF: What are your biggest sonic influences?
Hellhookah: The most apparent one , of course, is early Black Sabbath – the fathers of Doom. Another one would be Saint Vitus, but they are a bit less known – it's rare that someone would compare us to them. More important influences? Witchfinder General,The Obssessed, Pentagram, and Trouble.
As for the less direct influences – our love for music started with classic rock: Queen, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple.
Later we started getting into blues and other classic/psychedelic rock bands – Canned Heat, the Dutch band, Livin Blues, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Hawkwind are just a few – there are definitely a lot of Blues and Rock'n'Roll influences for us.
Some years ago we were also both into Thrash Metal – bands like Sodom, Slayer, Razor, Kreator Destruction, Exhorder, Demolition Hammer, Exodus, and so on.
MXF: Your lyrics are very mythical – where do all the sandy landscapes and monsters come from?
Hellhookah: A lot of the lyrics in our songs are just real-life experiences hiding behind metaphors.
However our most mythical track, Endless Serpent, is inspired by Native American mythology. I was reading the book 'Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge' by Jeremy Narby.
I was fascinated to find that the Serpent, as a symbol of the cosmos and of life and death, is encountered in many ancient myths – Greek , Sumerian, Native American. It is mind blowing that this symbol unifies different civilizations from different parts of the world. The more I explored this, the more of an influence it became on our music.
MXF: You usually have gigs in Vilnius, but have you had the chance to play any festivals in Lithuania?
Hellhookah: Yeah, we played Devilstone this year. But the best one was Žiežmariai festival. It's just the nicest coziest festival ever. We can't wait to play there next year!
MXF: What about playing outside of Lithuania?
Hellhookah: We were working on getting one gig in Latvia, and we had everything organised, but now it's up in the air – we don't know if it's gonna happen.
You see, the thing with Latvia, is that the darker alternative scene is even smaller than here.
For instance, tonight we had more than a hundred people come through the door and this is an OK turnout.
In Latvia getting 50 people in is considered a successful show. It's the same with Estonia – we know people who were trying to establish connections there, but there just isn't enough demand for this sort of music.
MXF: You've been working on your first record, tell me more about the whole process.
Hellhookah: Making a record is like building a monument dedicated to yourself. That monument is a reference point; a snapshot of who you are now. You immortalize your present self and you want to move forward and make new material. We already have three or for songs for a future release.
MXF: When should we expect the first one?
Hellhookah: It's actually all mixed, mastered and ready to go, we just need to release it properly. We are in talks with a couple of labels, one from Italy and one from Switzerland. It would be great to get signed and get support with promotion and distribution – hopefully that's happening really soon.
MXF: So it's safe to say that you're not gonna disappear any time soon?
Hellhookah: People often say that metal isn't serious, that it's always gonna remain just a hobby. But for us it isn't – we wanted to dedicate our lives to music ever since we were teenagers.
We know that it's not gonna be easy – take Lemmy, the frontman of Motörhead, for instance. In his autobiography he revealed that he was able to fully sustain himself from music alone at the age of 40. And this is a prolific band that is world famous.
Another inspiration is the band 'EYEHATEGOD'. Before the band got famous, one member was homeless. So, you see – everything is possible if you put enough effort in.

Rand gains as Reserve Bank holds repo rate at 6.75%' as expected
The Reserve Bank kept interest rates unchanged on Thursday' when the monetary policy committee (MPC) wrapped up its first meeting of 2018.
With a number of risk events on the horizon' the decision was expected by the majority of analysts' and leaves the repo rate at 6.75%' where it has been since the July 2017 cut of 25 basis points — the first cut in five years.
Reserve Bank governor Lesetja Kganyago said that since the previous meeting of the MPC' the rand had appreciated by 13.1% against the dollar' by 9.6% against the euro' and by 10.6% to the pound on a trade-weighted basis.
He did warn' however' that "in the near term' the rand is expected to remain sensitive to sentiment generated by political developments. The lingering prospect of a credit-ratings downgrade to sub-investment grade by Moody's [also] continues to weigh on the longer-term outlook for the rand."
Within a few minutes of the decision being announced' the rand strengthened to R12.19 to the dollar' from R12.25 prior to the governor's speech.
A Bloomberg consensus of 19 economists and analysts showed that 13 expected rates to be unchanged' while five forecast a cut of 25 basis points' with one predicting a 50-basis-point drop.
Prior to the MPC meeting' Standard Bank trader Warrick Butler said there was no way the Reserve Bank was going to cut rates a month before a crucial sovereign-rating announcement by Moody's' "especially in light of the budget speech the day before and the cost implications of the new' free-education policy announced in December".
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba is set to deliver the annual budget speech in Parliament on February 21. In his medium-term budget policy statement in October last year' Gigaba highlighted a R50bn budget deficit' without detailing any plans to resolve the issue.

Today it is my pleasure to Welcome author Eva Leigh to HJ!
Eva Leigh's irresistible new series introduces the Wicked Quills of London: a group of bold, brilliant female writers whose spirited allure is beyond seductive . . .
Please summarize the book for the readers here:
Eleanor Hawke is definitely familiar with scandal. She's the owner and editor of The Hawk's Eye, one of Regency England's most popular gossip rags. Eleanor's far more comfortable writing about scandal than being a part of it. Yet all that changes one day when Daniel Balfour, the Earl of Ashford—a notorious rake, and one of Eleanor's favorite subjects to write about—challenges her to accompany him on his wild nights. Soon, Eleanor is crossing the boundaries between writer and subject, between aloof observer and invested participant. Everything is made much more complicated by the fact that Ashford is wickedly handsome and dangerously seductive. When his true motivations come to light, can Eleanor keep her head, or has she lost herself in the earl's alluring charms?
Please share the opening lines of this book:
A man rich in wealth and scandal walked into Eleanor Hawke's office.
Eleanor was no stranger to scandal. Anything immoral, disreputable, shocking, or titillating made its way into the pages of her newspaper—particularly if it involved the wealthy and elite of London society.
Please share a few Fun facts about this book…
- I first learned about scandal sheets when I was in graduate school many years ago.
- Publications like The Spectator and The Tatler recounted all the latest scandal in London—over three hundred years ago! People and TMZ certainly didn't invent writing about gossip.
- My husband, fellow romance author Nico Rosso, thought up the idea for the naughty limerick contest.
- I based the phaeton race on watching The Fast and the Furious.
If your book was optioned for a movie, what scene would you use for the audition of the main characters and why?
Definitely the first scene, where Ashford and Eleanor meet! It sets up the banter, antagonism, and attraction between the hero and the heroine.
"I don't judge," she fired back, "only report the facts as I know them." He snorted. "They aren't facts. Just half-truths buried in terrible prose." "My writing is not terrible," she muttered. "Have you read the Examiner lately? That is truly execrable hack work." "And yet here I stand," he said flatly, "in your office." "So you do. But, my lord, you may rail and complain and whine like a petulant child—" He sputtered. "—but you're a public figure. As such, that makes you fair game. The rest of the world lead fairly dull lives. We get up—" "As do I." "Eat our breakfasts." "I do the same." "Go to work." Here, he was silent.
What do you want people to take away from reading this book?
I want people to have fun! But I also want them to see that women in Regency England did more than just sit around having tea and planning on what they were going to wear to the ball. They were business owners and professionals, too, who contributed considerably to the world around them.
What are you currently working on? What other releases do you have planned for 2015?
I just finished Temptations of a Wallflower, the third book in the Wicked Quills series. Scandal Takes the Stage, which is book two in the series, will be out in November 2015. It's Marwood and Maggie's story—we'll meet them in Forever Your Earl.
Thanks for blogging at HJ!

Excerpt from Forever Your Earl:
London, 1816
A man rich in wealth and scandal walked into Eleanor Hawke's office.
Eleanor was no stranger to scandal. Anything immoral, disreputable, shocking, or titillating made its way into the pages of her newspaper—particularly if it involved the wealthy and elite of London Society. She detailed all of it for her thrice-weekly publication, The Hawk's Eye. Nobody wanted to read about ordinary shopkeeper Mr. Jones who might or might not be spending time with the humdrum widow Mrs. Smith.
No, The Hawk's Eye sold strictly on the basis of its publishing the latest scandalous doings of Lord This and Lady That. All, of course, under the pretense of decrying the lack of morals in this fair city, and that publishing these lurid activities served as object lessons to the young and impressionable.
And it was Eleanor's job as owner and publisher to see to the moral education of London.
Which was utter rubbish, naturally.
But scandal put bread on her table and kept the rain off her head, and she readily immersed herself in it—the spirit of free enterprise, and all that.
Still, when Daniel Balfour, the Earl of Ashford himself, walked into the offices of The Hawk's Eye on a Wednesday afternoon, blocking the gray light as the door opened and closed, it was both shocking and inevitable that he should do so. Unsurprisingly, he clenched several copies of her paper in his hand.
Lord Ashford marched through the cramped warren of rooms, and writers, bent over their desks, lifted their heads to watch in openmouthed amazement as he passed. Eleanor's private office lay at the end of the corridor, giving her an ample view of the scene as it played out before her.
The earl stopped in front of Harry Welker's desk. The young writer stared up at Lord Ashford, the men separated not just by the expanse of battered oak but by circumstance and birth as well.
"H-how might I help you, my lord?" Harry asked, his voice cracking.
"Tell me where Mister E. Hawke is." Lord Ashford had a deep voice, rounded by generations of excellent breeding and noblesse oblige.
"Mister Hawke, my lord?" There was patent confusion in the young man's voice.
Lord Ashford pointed to one of the papers he carried. "It says here that The Hawk's Eye is owned and published by one E. Hawke. Where will I find him?"
"Nowhere, my lord," Harry answered. "There's no Mister Hawke here."
The earl scowled, clearly not used to being denied. "This scurrilous rag cannot publish itself."
"It doesn't," Eleanor announced, setting aside her quill and standing. "If you're looking for Miss Eleanor Hawke, I'm right over here."
Lord Ashford looked directly at her, and for the first time, she had a sense of what a rabbit might feel like when sighted by a wolf. But she wasn't the only one at a disadvantage. The earl couldn't hide the shock in his expression when he discovered that the publisher and owner of the paper was, in truth, a woman—which gave her a small measure of gratification.
He turned from Harry without another word and walked straight toward her. And she could only stand, pinned by his gaze, as he approached.
The closer he got, the more she realized how dangerous the earl was. Perhaps not in the traditional sense—though she'd heard and written about the duels he'd fought and won—but certainly in the realm of masculine allure. Her few times seeing him had been from a distance: the theater, the races, at a public assembly. She knew him by sight, but he didn't know her, and they'd never met. And in those instances, her vision had been good enough to recognize that he was a fine specimen, well-formed, handsome—everything a rich and notorious nobleman should be.
But Lord Ashford up close was rather … appalling. It didn't seem right that a man so blessed by fortune and title should also be so attractive.
His dark brown hair was fashionably cut and artfully tousled, as if he'd recently risen from a lover's bed. Given his reputation, that was most likely possible. He had a broad forehead, a coin-clean jawline, thick brows, and eyes that, even with yards between her and him, stunned her with their blue clarity. Naturally, he had a mouth that looked very adept at kissing and … other things.
He moved with a long-limbed ease that betrayed his skill as a sportsman. His ink-blue coat fit the broad width of his shoulders, and his cream waistcoat, embroidered in gold, defined the shape of his torso—his tailor on Jermyn Street produced excellent work. Snug doeskin breeches were tucked into polished Hessians that came from Bond Street.
Truly, he was quite alarming.
"Miss Hawke?" he asked sharply, coming to stand in front of her paper-cluttered desk. "I wasn't expecting a female."
"Neither were my parents," she answered, sitting, "but they learned to adapt. How might I help you, my lord?"
Though she felt an obligation to ask the question, she braced herself for what was sure to be a scorching lecture.
He removed his hat and set it aside. Then he held up an issue of The Hawk's Eye and began to read.
"'Lord A—d, a figure well-known to our assiduous and genteel readers, was lately seen in the company of a certain Mrs. F—e, whose late husband made his considerable fortune through the manufacture and sale of a woman's garment we blush to mention in these virtuous pages.'" He tossed one of the issues to the ground. "Wrong."
"You cannot deny—"
But he wasn't done. Holding up another issue of the paper, he read again. "'It may or may not stun our honorable readers to learn that the notorious Lord A—d has not amended his ways following the duel over Lady L., from Y—shire, and has been espied with another married lady of questionable character, at the late-night revels hosted by the equally rakish Mr. S—n. Yet it was noted by our keen-eyed intelligence that this married lady was not the only female vying for the earl's favors.'" This paper he also cast to the floor. "Wrong."
She herself had written those pieces, and while they weren't matchless examples of English prose, she was still rather proud of them, as she was of all her labors. To have her hard work thrown to the ground like so much garbage was rankling.
"I assure you, my lord," she said bitingly, "The Hawk's Eye strives for the greatest of accuracy." She had a network of sources, which she used regularly to provide information. Many members of the aristocracy were in dire need of funds, and they gladly turned on each other in order to maintain the pretense of effortless wealth. Eleanor always paid her informants to keep them returning.
Whether or not they lied to her just to collect payment wasn't her concern, but she always preferred it if she could validate their statements. Sometimes that meant going out and conducting a few investigations. But she was a very busy woman—writing articles, editing countless others, managing the paper's finances—and didn't always have the time.
She had to earn a living, after all. And men like the earl didn't.
Continuing, she said, "That's exceptionally conceited of you, my lord, to assume that you are Lord A—d." Leaning back in her chair, she gave a thin smile. "I could be writing about Lord Archland. Or perhaps Lord Admond."
"Lord Archland hasn't left his country estate in a decade," the earl answered, "and Lord Admond's days of scandal happened when red heels and powdered wigs were in fashion. The man written about is undoubtedly, nauseatingly, me."
So much for that defense. "Oh, but you're far from nauseating, my lord. In fact, you're enthralling—to my readers," she hastened to add.
Lord Ashford shook his head. "It amazes me that the citizens of London have such paltry lives that they'd care a groat what I did."
"The provinces, too," she added. "I have a thousand subscribers throughout the country."
He threw up his hands. "Ah, that improves the situation immeasurably. I cannot fathom what my concern was."
"As my paper states," she said, "you are London's most notorious rake. Of course people care what you do."
He crossed his arms over his chest, a movement that emphasized that the width of his shoulders didn't come from the work of a tailor's artful needle.
"One might think that your readers would be far more interested in the food shortages that have resulted from recent crop failures," he fired back. "Or perhaps they might be intrigued by the East Indian volcanic explosion. Maybe, just maybe, they'd be concerned with Argentina declaring its independence from Spain. Did writing about that, rather than reporting spurious gossip about a figure as inconsequential as myself, ever cross your mind, Miss Hawke?"
Though she was momentarily shocked that a man as infamously dissolute as Lord Ashford would be so well informed, she quickly recovered.
"I'd hardly call you inconsequential, my lord," she countered. "Your family name goes back to the time of Queen Elizabeth. If memory serves, your ancestor Thomas Balfour won himself an earldom as a privateer to the queen—though others merely called him a pirate with a government charter. It seems as though scandal runs in your blood. How could the public not be fascinated?"
It was his turn to look surprised. He likely didn't expect her to be so knowledgeable of his ancestry. But Eleanor was nothing if not thorough. She had Debrett's memorized the way others knew their Bible verses.
"Because I am merely one man," he answered. "Granted, a man with a somewhat extensive wardrobe—"
Of mistresses, she silently added.
"But hardly worth page after page of precious paper and ink," he concluded.
"You belong to a gentleman's club, do you not?" she asked pointedly. "White's, if memory serves. And what do you do there?"
"You appear quite sober now," she said, "and you always take your luncheon there. Given the hour, you likely were at White's, then came here. As I cannot smell the reek of alcohol on your breath or person, I highly doubt that drinking is the only activity in which you engage at your club."
"Ah, you have me figured out. In fact," he said, lowering his voice conspiratorially, "I spend most of my time there plotting how to live off the blood of the lower classes."
"I strongly suspect that if that had been your ambition, I and my commoner brethren would be drained dry by now."
"Perhaps I need to strengthen my motivation," he replied. "You're doing a rather bang-up job of it."
"What a proud day for me," she said. "To have driven an earl toward thoughts of vampirism. But come now, you're being deliberately obtuse. What else—besides imbibe and plot the agony of the lesser classes—do you do at your club?"
"Read the newspaper," he answered.
Ah! Finally. "And for those gentlemen who haven't the connections or wealth to be members of a club, there are always the coffee houses. They stock newspapers for their customers, too."
"Perhaps it's time to get a quill sharpener," he said acidly, "because I fail to see your point."
She came around her desk and leaned against it, so that a distance of only a few feet separated them. "My point, Lord Ashford, is that there are countless sources for the news you cited. Most of their offices can be found within a quarter mile of here. Those papers are for news. But The Hawk's Eye provides something that the Times and other papers do not."
"Paper for lining birdcages," he said.
"Moral guidance."
He gave one single, harsh laugh. "I ought to fetch the attendants from Bedlam, because you're clearly in the grips of a powerful delusion. Like our own dear monarch, God save him. Shall I bring you a mitre and crook and declare you pope?"
She pressed her lips together. This wasn't the first time she'd come under attack for her paper's practices, but seldom by someone as articulate and intelligent as the earl. It didn't help that he had a most distracting physical appearance. How could a man possess such a pair of spectacularly blue eyes? Like the glint of sapphires washed in autumn sunlight.
"It's right here beneath the paper's name," she said, picking up an issue lying on her desk. "Consilium per stadium. 'Guidance through observation.' If you led a more moral life, you wouldn't appear in my paper at all."
He looked at her with patent disbelief. "What unbounded cheek, for you to judge me. You, who profit from feeding on carrion, like some quill-wielding hyena."
Eleanor considered herself someone with a thick skin and a decent amount of composure, but for some reason, the earl's words struck her with a strange sensation she hadn't experienced in a long while. If she had to guess, it was a mixture of pain and … shame.
She quickly shook the feeling off. Shame was for those who could afford it. And she couldn't.
"I don't judge," she fired back, "only report the facts as I know them."
He snorted. "They aren't facts. Just half-truths buried in terrible prose."
"My writing is not terrible," she muttered. "Have you read the Examiner lately? That is some execrable hack work."
"And yet here I stand," he said flatly, "in your office."
"So you do. But, my lord, you may rail and complain and whine like a petulant child—"
He sputtered.
"—but you're a public figure. As such, that makes you fair game. The rest of the world lead fairly dull lives. We get up—"
"As do I."
"Eat our breakfasts."
"I do the same."
"Go to work."
Here, he was silent.
She continued, "Most of us cannot afford to go to the theater or gaming hells or have the social connections to attend private assemblies. But you can, and you do. You are what we all aspire to be, my lord."
He laughed ruefully. "Perhaps you and your readers ought to set your sights higher. There are people of, how would you put it, far greater moral character worth mirroring."
"Maybe so," she answered candidly. "I can list dozens of men and women, all of greater purpose and ambition than yourself, that I would much rather see held up as an example to emulate. Teachers or philanthropists."
He looked insulted. "I donate generously to orphanages and veterans' assistance organizations right here in London."
"Do you?" She should make a note of that later. None of her sources had ever uncovered that aspect of the earl's life, but it would make for a surprising and rather delicious counterpoint to his rakish public behavior. It also spoke well of Lord Ashford that he did not attempt to make public his charitable endeavors. But it was rather easier to do her job if she didn't think too highly of him.
"Regardless of the content of your character, my lord," she went on, "you live a life only a minute fraction can ever hope to attain. As such, that makes you an object of fascination. And the truth of it is, you cannot stop me or anyone on my staff from writing about you."
"A miserable fact of which I'm well aware," he answered.
She strode back around her desk. "Then I believe we've said all we can to one another, delightful as this exchange has been. Good day, my lord." She started to sit. "I'm rather busy, but I can have Harry show you to the door if you require."
But Lord Ashford didn't move. Stood exactly where he was, with his arms still folded over his chest. "If you are going to use me as your subject, the least you can do is proper research."
She hovered over her chair. "Forgive me for not being Cambridge-educated, but I'm not certain what you are suggesting."
Unfolding his arms, he braced his hands on the edge of her desk, leaning slightly forward. Despite the expanse of the desk separating them, she felt compelled to lean away.
"What I am suggesting, Miss Hawke," he murmured, "is that you accompany me. Day and night. That way, you can see exactly what I do with my time. You see," he continued, a slow smile unfolding, "I don't want you to stop writing about me at all. I want you to get it right."

Book Info:
Eleanor Hawke loves a good scandal. And readers of her successful gossip rag live for the exploits of her favorite subject: Daniel Balfour, the notorious Earl of Ashford. So when the earl himself marches into her office and invites her to experience his illicit pursuits firsthand, Eleanor is stunned. Gambling hells, phaeton races, masquerades . . . What more could a scandal writer want than a secret look into the life of this devilishly handsome rake?
Daniel has secrets, and if The Hawk's Eye gets wind of them, a man's life could be at stake. And what better way to distract a gossip than by feeding her the scandal she desperately craves? But Daniel never expected the sharp mind and biting wit of the beautiful writer, and their desire for each other threatens even his best-laid plans.
But when Eleanor learns the truth of his deception, Daniel will do anything to prove a romance between a commoner and an earl could really last forever.

Several hundred protesters gathered in central London on Saturday to voice their anger at Theresa May's government and her alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party.
People carrying placards reading anti-DUP and pro-Jeremy Corbyn messages basked in the sun in Parliament Square one day after a shock election result returned a hung parliament.
Organisers from Stand Up To Racism and the Stop The War Coalition spoke to the crowd, who cheered at the mention of the Labour leader's name.
Musicians performed to the protesters, who seemed in good spirits. One organiser led chants of "racist, sexist, anti-gay, the DUP has got to go".
The protest moved to outside the gates of Downing Street, where they were met by a wall of uniformed police officers, as bemused tourists posed for selfies nearby.
Chants of "Tories out, refugees in" and "Tories out, Corbyn in" were led by a vocal core on a loudspeaker.
Luke O'Neill, who voted for Labour in Kensington, said he felt Mr Corbyn had motivated young people.
The 27-year-old said: "May's mandate has gone, that's probably the best news and Labour is gaining - that is the best news as well.
"Jeremy Corbyn gave us power, that's what he's all about."
The nursery worker said he was "angry" that Mrs May had done a deal with the DUP, although he admitted he did not initially know who they were.
"I've never seen people more hateful in my life," he said.
"I didn't know who the DUP were, I had to Google them, as many people no doubt in this country would have had to Google them."

I was introduced to healthy chocolate by a good friend of mine in August 2011. I felt I didn't really need the healthy chocolate. I exercised every day and ate healthy too. With her persuasion, I started eating the healthy chocolate. I knew it was supposed to be good for you, so I decided to give it a try.
The first thing I noticed upon eating the healthy chocolate was the amount of energy I had increased. I would wake up in the morning and be able to instantly get out of bed rather than groggily reaching and hitting the snooze button. I was ready to wake up and begin my day with a feeling of vitality. As I continued to eat the healthy chocolate, I realized that some of the health issues that I had been dealing with for years were beginning to improve. These were health issues that I was told I would be dealing with for the rest of my life.
I have worked many years as a hairdresser. I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my hands and wrists, so while working, I would have to cope with them falling asleep and losing strength progressively throughout the day. Now, thanks to the healthy chocolate, I can open jars and hang onto bottles in my shop without dropping them because of the pain.
I also suffer from Crohn's Disease. I have been dealing with this disease since I was 12 years old. I was in and out of hospitals, undergoing blood transfusions, and had been put on a strict diet and medication. At the age of 20, I had half of my large intestines removed due to the overwhelming inflammation inside of them. I thought that this procedure would've helped, but it proved to be unbeneficial. Finally, I went to a natural doctor, and he was able to help quite a bit. However, I still had to watch what I ate and do colonics from time to time to help keep things healed up inside.
After I started on the healthy chocolate and was doing well with it, I began drinking the shakes, because they serve as an awesome meal replacement. I drank these not because I needed to lose weight, but because it is so easy for your body to digest. Upon drinking the shakes, I can honestly say I have not felt better. They allow me to feel normal, in fact, better than normal with the benefits it provides. I begin my day with a shake and a piece of healthy chocolate. Throughout the day, I drink plenty of water. I have another piece of healthy chocolate in the afternoon, and finish every day with one in the evening.
I also suffer from arthritis in my leg, due partially to the medication I had to take when I was young. The healthy chocolate has also been able to help with that.
I would recommend healthy chocolate to anyone who is looking for an alternative to medication and a preventative for the future. It will change your life, because I know it has definitely changed mine.

A response to Jay's post on the End of Protestantism which was inspired by a First Things Article that suggests a move to Reformational Catholicism.
I think it is a good thing to acknowledge and learn from the wealth of Christian history prior to the Reformation. The recently deceased Phyllis Tickle was of the opinion that Christendom undergoes a big change every 500 years. The Reformation commenced about 500 years ago, The previous period began with the Great Schism between Catholic and Orthodox. And roughly 500 years before that was the time of Pope Gregory the Great whose actions and import she describes in her books. Of course this all began 500 years earlier with the life of Christ. These periods are accompanied by changes in society. In Pope Gregory's time it was the fall of the Roman Empire and changes in travel and communication and other structural changes of life then. Of course, the Reformation was made possible by the invention of the printing press. When the form of communication changes, the nature of human consciousness changes. We live in such a time. We are transitioning from a print culture to digital culture. With this change comes new ways of looking at the Bible and religion. It is good and necessary that we mine riches from the past. And thanks to easy digital access to the writings of earlier Christian thinkers and contemporary students of them, we can. But we should also look to the future and the changes that are in process and coming. Our younger cohorts are not convinced by the word formulas lifted from a seemingly common sense reading of the Bible. I say seemingly because one cannot read the Bible text by oneself. One's community is sitting on the shoulder guiding the effort. It is an exciting time to see all of this unfolding and the new styles of Christianity being born.

Prevention is better than cure! It may not seem as though a person's behaviour and choices are something that you can have any control over, but in fact there are several simple steps you can take as an employer, substantially helping to guide and influence the way your employees behave at work.
Be crystal clear
If you expect a certain standard of behaviour from your staff the first thing you need to do is be clear about what your expectations are. Using policies and value statements you can outline standards of performance, responsibilities, accountabilities and the workplace conduct that you expect. If this is the first time you've considered HR for your business, don't panic! We're here to help with policies such as a code of conduct, and grievance and disciplinary procedures.
When onboarding a new employee, make sure you explain the processes that you use should anything go wrong, so they know what to expect should a situation arise. It goes without saying that there's an element of trust and an employee should not knowingly break the law whilst working for you.
Create an open and communicative culture
Creating an open culture will benefit your business in countless ways, not least in terms of how you handle misconduct issues. When employees feel at ease to speak up about inappropriate behaviour they've spotted, then you can address issues quickly and prevent them escalating outside of your business to a potential employment tribunal.
To instill this kind of culture, it's important to lead by example, this can be as simple as communicating and discussing plans with your team, offering informal feedback and generally demonstrating that the channels of communication are open.
Mistakes are human
Try to avoid blaming people when they slip up in some way. If something goes wrong, it will work out better for everyone if your team feel they can speak up without being blamed or shamed (or fired!). A culture of supportive problem solving is far better if you'd like to keep misconduct problems to a minimum and dealt with effectively in-house.
Of course, if an employee is repeatedly causing a major issue this is a different matter, but generally speaking, a calm approach to positively solving poor conduct will mean that you can nip issues in the bud before they get out of hand.
Keep your finger on the pulse
This is relatively easy to do in a smaller business, if you have a feeling something's off, then it probably is – rather than brushing things under the rug, do some investigation and you may uncover a very small and easily solvable issue rather than an ugly monster six months down the line.
Consistency in your approach is key. Standard procedures make sure everyone is treated fairly, everyone is on the same page and nobody (no matter how experienced) gets to wing it. If someone is behaving in a way that is not consistent with your company values, politely let them know and explain why the behaviour isn't acceptable.
How your brand and values will help
CIPD defines employer brand as '…a set of attributes and qualities, often intangible, that makes an organisation distinctive, promises a particular kind of employment experience, and appeals to those people who will thrive and perform best in its culture'.
Being clear on this and outlining it in a value statement is a great way to attract the right kind of people to your business in the first place. A statement about certain behaviours, such as working with honesty and integrity clearly demonstrates your brand intentions and instructs staff on how to act from the start. These "rules" will help your team to police their own behaviour.
If it all goes wrong despite your best efforts and you feel you have a valid reason to dismiss an employee, it is vital that you follow the correct procedure.
If you need further help or guidance on handling a misconduct issue please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or give us a call on 0333 444 0165
It's also highly important that you document the entire procedure, our HR software makes this a piece of cake – click here for a free trial.

text: The baby Bowie of the sixties was dorky, earnest and notably uncool – exactly the opposite of everything we've come to associate David Bowie with. It was adorable. It was also odd that out of all the exciting things going on in music at the time, Bowie was writing twee little narrative songs in music hall style, probably the least hip possible direction to go in. It does show that he was already an iconoclast with a nose for the unexpected. He just hadn't figured out how to channel that in a way that people actually liked. Of course it also means that, in his absolute failure to get attention, he really dodged a bullet. Imagine an alternate universe in which something like this (or worse, The Laughing Gnome) became the novelty hit of the summer. It would have been an absolute career dead end, not a reputation one could easily shake or move on from. We would then have enjoyed decades of David Bowie, composer of cute novelty songs and writer of middling West End musicals, perhaps with a lucrative sideline banging out power ballads for vocal divas. That's not a world I'd much like to live in.
