Actor Jon Hamm says he feels guilty of giving out more information than he is supposed to when it comes to his personal life. The 46-year-old actor feels he made a mistake in being open about his split from Jennifer Westfeldt, his partner of 18 years, reported ET Online. "I usually overshare, is the problem. So, it wasn't necessarily important that I shared it, then I did and I'm sort of regretting it," says Hamm. When asked about the qualities he looks for in a woman, the Mad Men star says, "It's impossible to say". Hamm also confirms that he is currently single. In his recent interview with InStyle magazine, the Baby Driver actor admitted he had found it difficult to adjust to being single after parting ways with Westfeldt.
On being asked about his split from girlfriend of 18 years, Jennifer Westfeldt, he also added, "It's fine, It's hard. It's hard to be single after being together for a long time. It's really hard. It sucks." Hamm and his girlfriend's joint statement on their separation read,"With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history. We will continue to be supportive of each other in every way possible moving forward."
Hamm also shared some specifics from his stint in rehab from two years ago, "Medical attention is medical attention whether it's for your elbow or for your teeth or for your brain. And it's important. We live in a world where to admit anything negative about yourself is seen as a weakness, when it's actually a strength. It's not a weak move to say, 'I need help.' In the long run it's way better, because you have to fix it."

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 20 – To many Kenyans, being diagnosed with kidney failure has for decades marked the genesis to a torturous journey.
Besides the expenses involved during treatment, many are forced to travel miles away to look for a health facility with such services.
In Tharaka Nithi County, patients have for long had to make expensive weekly trips to Nairobi and other far-flung regions to access the life-support treatment.
Some would soon retire to fate or even suffer depression as high travel cost took its toll on their meagre income.
But they finally have a reason to smile after the Chuka County Referral Hospital started offering dialysis services last week.
In just over a week, 20 patients have already benefited from the services of the five state-of-the-art machines recently leased to the devolved government by the national government.
Bernard Kirimi, a resident of Marima in Maara Sub-county, says he had been seeking the services in the neighbouring Meru County for the last one year.
He painfully recalls how he would at times spend a whole day unattended due to the long queues at Meru Teaching and Referral Hospital.
"I feel so happy that I can now easily access the services at Chuka which is close to home and this has also reduced the cost for me," he says.
Dialysis, which is done on individuals with kidney failure, involves the use of a special machine to filter harmful wastes, salt and excess fluid from the blood.
This restores the blood to a normal, healthy balance. The process replaces many of the kidney's important functions. The long-term solution for patients is a kidney transplant, which is costly.
Mary Cianjoka, who hails from Chuka Igambang'ombe, says she has been travelling to Nyeri town twice a week for dialysis at a private hospital.
Despite the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) catering for the service, she would spend about Sh25,000 on both trips – Sh16, 000 on drugs and the rest on travelling, lunch and other expenses.
But the opening of a dialysis centre in Chuka has greatly reduced Ms Cianjoka's cost of managing the condition.
"One feels contented after the dialysis, though it is very costly and not all can afford. I have seen people we were going for dialysis with in Kenyatta National Hospital die because they could not afford the costs," she said.
Dr Elijah Kameti, the medical superintendent at Chuka hospital, admits that the machines will relieve patients off the burden of seeking the services in other counties.

We Rise
We like the people we work with and enjoy spending time together. We keep active with a variety of activities:
- Monthly "Wine Downs" where we all gather in the conference room to enjoy wine, beer, soda and food. Management gives an update on the business and a staff member gives a mini-presentation on something they are passionate about. Topics have included mountain biking, making the switch to "light" backpacking, worldwide travel, surfing, knitting, Burning Man, and really amazing work projects. It's a great way to get to know each other on a more personal level.
- Every year employees plan a weekend trip. Trips have included camping at nearby Sugarloaf Ridge as well as a kayaking day trip to Tomales Bay where we have an oyster BBQ for the kayakers and those choosing to stay on the beach. We also have in-house events like "Office Olympics" and Division Challenges, ping-pong and volley ball, and have organized team building activities like a Wine and Paint night.
- "The Slide Rules" is the name of our co-ed softball team. We compete against other firms and wineries in the area. It's great fun, and we're pretty good!
- Employees often get together after work or on weekends to socialize, cycle, mountain bike, jog or hike.
- Last year, close to a third of our employees participated in Bike to Work Day. We anticipate another strong showing this year!
- Every summer we have a big family picnic, and each winter we have a end of the year holiday party for employees and their guests. Both events are top-notch.
Giving Back
Summit believes in giving back:
- Giving back to the local community in various ways is important to Summit. Last year, we volunteered at the local Redwood Empire Food Bank where we sorted carrots and apples for distribution.
- Our employees particiated in a winter clothing and supplies drive to suppor the Sonoma County Task Force for the Homeless "One Warm Coat" project.
- We provided financial assistance to help communities in Lake County rebuild after the devastating forest fires.
- Summit sponsored the Mike Hauser Algebra Academy which provides middle school students with the opportunity to visit STEM related employers and learn the possibilities of future careers.
- Summit is also a corporate sponsor of the local Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Sonoma County Professional chapter. The last three EWB-SCP presidents have been Summit employees, and a number of our employees have traveled to the Peruvian Amazon to install rainwater catchment systems for villages that did not have access to clean water.
Professional Development
- Summit encourages and supports ongoing professional development by providing employees with appropriate seminars, workshops, and other training opportunities. We assist employees in accruing the experience, skills, and knowledge to obtain their California PE or SE license, and once passed, have a reimbursement program.
- Our engineers work on multiple projects at a time, so are continually exposed to the various engineering disciplines, different mentors, and a diverse assortment of challenges.
Special Perks
- Breakfast is served on the last day of the week, every week.
- Kitchen is ALWAYS stocked with cereal, yogurt, bread, PB, and other items. Chocolate, nuts, granola bars, etc. are also available.
- On Wednesdays, we put out "healthy snacks" after lunch to keep energy levels high.
- The Airport Health Club (ranked #1 in Santa Rosa) is a few blocks from the office. Summit pays the one time membership fee for employees, and then typically rebates back 50% of what employees pay annually in monthly dues.
- We know that great employees know other great potential employees, so we have a referral bonus program in place to encourage that.
- We are on a 9/80 schedule. That means we work 9 hour days (instead of 8), and are off every other Friday. The office is actually closed on that Friday. It's great for scheduling appointments, going away for long weekends, or just getting an early start to the weekend.
- Summit Engineering, Inc. has been selected as one of the North Bay's Best Places to Work 11 times. Our employees work hard, and take tremendous pride in their work. Sonoma County is a beautiful place to live - and work. We're in the middle of wine country, surrounded by redwoods, and close to the ocean. Especially for people who like to spend time out of doors, it's hard to beat.
We're Green!
Summit is proud to be a member of the California Green Business Network in Sonoma County. We incorporate sustainability into our core business operations through internal and external efforts. Specifically, we:
- Reduce, reuse and recycle
- Purchase environmentally preferable products
- Conserve energy, water and natural resources
- Educate employees on resource conservation and pollution prevention
- Participate in the Spare the Air campaign

A relatively modern design type is the scientific tattoo. These designs feature anything from microscopic biological structures, to macroscopic space objects. Many of them are readable and minimalistic, clearly displaying scientific laws or concepts in special scientific notation. The specific 'meanings' behind these designs are straightforward, as far as the actual scientific concepts are concerned, but the meaning behind the tattoo tends to be highly personal.
Popular science writer, Carl Zimmer, set out to learn about those who had science-themed tattoos. He discovered that many people working in a scientific field had a related tattoo based on an emotional connection they'd made to a certain scientific idea. Others have opted for scientific tattoos simply to express their passion for the subject. Look through our science tattoo dictionary below, and see if any of these ideas appeal to you!
Scientific Tattoo Dictionary
Amino Acid Sequence: a biological compound that makes up the DNA sequence and proteins. People opt for tattoos of amino acid sequences as a reminder that they're made of 'star stuff,' or the same matter as stars.
Anatomical Heart: a human heart depicted as it would realistically look inside your body. Much like the simplified heart designs (or love hearts for our Aussie pals), anatomical hearts commonly represent love, passion, and empathy.
Darwin's Finch Sketches: these are an exact replica of Darwin's original observational sketches of finches. Those who admire Darwin's work on evolutionary theory might opt for this unique design.
DNA Helix: a 3-dimensional ladder-like structure that holds all of a human's genetic information. The DNA helix can be symbolic of one's individuality and uniqueness.
Dopamine: a neurotransmitter most popularly known for its role in reward-motivated behavior. Those who choose a dopamine molecule design may use this symbol as a reminder of their motivations.
Ferns: a common plant in New Zealand, the fern is a symbol for resilience and virility. This plant has existed for millions of years, and it has an impressive ability to thrive.
Golden Ratio Diagram: represented by a mapped spiral in a rectangle, showing the 'ideal ratio' of length to width. This design symbolizes beauty and the intricate order of nature.
Nebulas: an interstellar cloud filled with ionized gases in outer space. These science-themed tattoos are distinct due to their larger size and colorful makeup. They can serve as a reminder of the universe's mystery and grandeur.
Neuron: a brain cell with a unique elongated structure for sending and receiving electrical impulses. A neuron tattoo often symbolizes the impressive power of the mind.
Pi: a mathematical constant, represented by 3.14. A pi symbol tattoo may stand for nature's infinite complexity.
Schrodinger's Cat: a visual diagram that shows a cat as dead and alive, to illustrate the Uncertainty Principle in physics. This tattoo may symbolize the mystique of nature.
Serotonin: a neurotransmitter most commonly known for its role in mood-regulation. Those with a serotonin tattoo may have it as a reminder to stay happy.
Solar System Planets: a visual diagram that shows all of the solar system planets in orbit around the sun. This image represents the progress of human knowledge, and it serves as a reminder that we are part of a bigger picture.
These are just a few science themed tattoo designs out there. Have any favorites? Leave a comment and let us know!

Vulnerable pregnant women have extra care needs. Pregnant women with a low socioeconomic status (SES) experience a negative impact on pregnancy outcomes and on the health of the very young child (0-3 years). Pregnant women with low SES have more chronic illnesses and experience more stress. Prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, low birth weight, congenital infections and perinatal morbidity and mortality are complications that are more likely to occur in this group. In 2012 in Flanders, 1 out of 10 children under the age of 12 lived in families with an increased risk of poverty.
This study takes place in Antwerp, which is a port town. For various reasons, the city attracts a large number of people at risk of poverty. Looking at the different risk factors, several figures indicate that poverty in Antwerp has increased in recent years and poverty rates are higher compared to other areas in Flanders.
The concept of vulnerability has been frequently studied and analyzed in health care sciences over the last few decades. Despite the operationalization and concept analyses, there is still no consensus about the definition of vulnerability and the way in which it can be identified. The trend towards more monitoring by midwives offers a unique opportunity to catch alertness to and remediation of vulnerability in the care process. Also research emphasizes the need to act proactively and collaborate with other disciplines in combination with more attention to women in disadvantaged situations.
This study aims at optimizing perinatal care and the central research question of this project is: What is the effect of a custom-tailored antenatal care for vulnerable pregnant women living in Antwerp on the neonatal outcome and the health of the very young child?
The present study focuses on the experience and perception of midwives concerning vulnerability during pregnancy of disadvantaged pregnant women in Antwerp. Professionals (social workers and midwives) will be asked about their definition of vulnerability by means of focus groups.
Based on this qualitative research, a tool to map vulnerability by midwives will be developed, implemented and tested. An important focus of this research project is to raise awareness in professionals for any kind of vulnerability in disadvantaged pregnant women. The developed instrument will also facilitate the implementation of the required support in pregnancy. In the final stage, a care program will be presented. Finally, recommendations for both municipal, regional, provincial and federal policy levels will be formulated in order to improve the health outcomes for disadvantaged mothers and their children.

Internship Experience @ Gnarus Partners, New Delhi: They had advice for you, at every step of the way
Name of the intern. Year of Study. College.
Vishakha Gupta; 4th year BBA LLB; School of Law; Christ University
Name of the organization.
Gnarus Partners, New Delhi.
Duration of the internship. No. of days/week. Timings
15th April 2014 – 15th May 2014. 5 days/week.
Timing 10 AM – 6.30 PM.
How big was the office? Team strength?
The Gnarus Partners office is nice and spacious.
It is located in the posh area of GK 2.
Application procedure. Internship contact details.
I emailed my CV to their office email id a j[email protected] and received a quick confirmation email within a weeks time.
First impression. First day, formalities etc.
There were no formalities.
Apart from the introductions and what's kept where, I was assigned work immediately.
Main tasks
Every day there were new assignments, completely living up to their motto of every day is different.
My work, though purely corporate, ranged from research for case laws to drafting of agreements and research notes.
Work environment, people
The work environment was relaxed. There was no pressure to get everything right. I was encouraged to be critical in everything I do, which always made me do my work thoroughly.
I was always provided a background to the case for which I was researching or drafting a document. It helped me to submit a better document.
This is not always the case with most firms, as they just give the work to be completed without any head or tail.
Best things?
The approach to working. It was casual with respect to the office and timings, but not to the work.
Everything was read, scrutinized and feedback was given. They were always ready to explain and re-explain everything to you, instead of getting frustrated with the "intern who knows nothing."
They had advice for you, at every step of the way; explaining how and why the things were done in a particular way.
Everyone was always smiles in the office, I think that was the best thing.
And the bhaiya who was always ready with tea or coffee for you.
Bad Things
At the time of my internship, we were only two interns, so it would get boring when there were dull days; though rare. We never wanted to venture out in the Delhi heat, so that was the only bad thing for me.
Also, I would have liked to interact with Mr. Rishi more, but since he was travelling a lot during my internship period, sadly it was not possible.
What did you do to chill?
The M- Block market is nearby, where you can chill if you want.

Top 10: most reliable family cars-revealed
Warranty Direct has named the UK's most and least reliable family cars after analysing data from its Reliability Index, which is based on data from more than 50,000 policies...
7. Hyundai i30 (07 - 12)
While the original Hyundai i30 was never class-leading in any particular area, it offers supportive seats, decent space for five, a comfortable ride and good grip through corners. Road noise and bland looks are the biggest drawbacks.
What Car? rating: Rated 3 out of 5
6. Toyota Prius (03 - 09)
The second Prius to make the top 10 is the model that was sold between 2003 and 2009. However. Although it is even more reliable than its replacement, it's also more compromised to drive and noisy at speed, while the dashboard is overly complicated.
What Car? rating: Rated 3 out of 5
Read our full used review of this Toyota Prius
5. Honda Civic (00 - 06)
The Civic also appears twice on this list, with the model that was introduced at the turn of the century combining impressive reliability with a spacious interior, user-friendly dashboard design and enjoyable handling. You do have to put up with a lot of road noise, though.

The new construction inspection (phased inspection) is conducted at three separate times.
Phase I: Pre-Pour Inspection
The first phase should be conducted prior to your concrete being poured. Once the concrete is poured, the opportunity to have your foundation inspected is no longer possible.
Service Fee: $150
Phase II: Framing Inspection
The second phase takes place prior to the interior walls and insulation being installed. After the roofing material, exterior cladding, and windows have been installed, an inspection at this time is important because the sheet-rock and insulation cover critical materials.

Upon manual Solr Collection reloading, references to the closed SolrCore are not fully removed by the garbage collector as a strong reference to the ZkIndexSchemaReader is held in a ZooKeeper Watcher that watches for schema changes.
In our case, this leads to a massive memory leak as managed resources are still referenced by the closed SolrCore. Our Solr cloud environment utilizes rather large managed resources (synonyms, stopwords). To reproduce, we fired out environment up and reloaded the collection 13 times. As a result we fully exhausted our heap. A closer look with the Yourkit profiler revealed 13 SolrCore instances, still holding strong references to the garbage collection root (see screenshot 1).
Each SolrCore instance holds a single path with strong references to the gc root via a `Watcher` in `ZkIndexSchemaReader` (see screenshot 2). The ZkIndexSchemaReader registers a close hook in the SolrCore but the Zookeeper is not removed upon core close.
We supplied a Github Pull Request (https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/197) that extracts the zookeeper `Watcher` as a static inner class. To eliminate the memory leak, the schema reader is held inside a `WeakReference` and the reference is explicitly removed on core close.
Initially I wanted to supply a test case but unfortunately did not find a good starting point ...

What does it mean to have a reliable web host?
Having an online presence for your business in this digital age is absolutely necessary. What better way to market your brand and showcase your products and services, 24/7? But, what does all of this matter if the user experience is poor, or if your website is not live all the time, or if you receive poor customer service through your web host and problems can't be resolved quickly? This all has to do with choosing the right web hosting service.
Choosing a reliable web host often takes the back seat when it comes to business decisions. Many business owners are unaware of the consequences that can occur when working with a bad web host.
Here are 3 key points to pay attention to when searching for a web host:
- Server Speed
This relates to the speed of loading your website. A slow website can be extremely frustrating for users and will likely cause those users to not return. This can reflect badly on your business and brand image, or even worse, it can lead to bad SEO results. Slow server speeds can also be a huge determining factor in whether or not leads turn into customers.
- Uptime
In order for your website to be live at all times, you need a reliable web host that ensures maximum uptime. Having too much downtime is a quick way to frustrate and lose users and sale opportunities in seconds.
- Customer Service
Having a customer service support team that cares and cherishes you as a customer is crucial. They need to be available, ready, and willing to solve problems swiftly and quickly. What's worse than feeling like your time and money has been wasted?
Remember, there are many web hosting services out there to chose from, but you need to choose the one that you and your business can rely and depend on.
If you are interested in learning more about our web hosting services, please read our Web Host Case Studies.

Berry Head
Had a great day out on Saturday with Noel on a repeat of the Magical mystery tour on Berry Head. The weather was warm and the sea was a lovely temperature for late September. It was also good to see old friend Steve at the top of Moonraker – a great day was had by all.
Big thank you to Noel for taking the picture, it was done on a disposable camera and scanned because we didn't want to take a digital on a deep water solo!

SPA training
Last weekend I was running an SPA training course with Simon Tong. After an evening in the climbing wall on Friday night we made the most of the lovely weekend by going to Hay Tor on Saturday to look at personal climbing skills, placing gear, building belays and personal abseils. Simon took them to Chudleigh on day 2 to look at group management and group abseils.
Please get in touch if you are looking for an SPA training or assessment course. We can usually provide one at fairly short notice if there are 4 people for training and at least 2 for assessment.

The Gospel of Mark is an interesting and challenging text to adapt for the stage. It's the earliest gospel, and also the shortest. Composed in Greek, it was based on Aramaic sources and written for a non-Jewish audience. Unlike Hebrew stories such as Job and Ruth, which existed as longstanding oral traditions before they were set to text, the Gospel of Mark is a bone-dry account almost without literary merit.
Nevertheless, it has dramatic potential. It starts in medias res, with Jesus an adult about to start out on his ministry, mercifully leaving out all the nonsense about a virgin birth, gift-bearing kings, or a prophetically-convenient census. It references compelling characters, such as the hermit-like John the Baptist, and lays out the classic tale of a lone figure struggling against authority. And it offers us tantalising hints and insights into how a first century Jew, a carpenter by the name of Yeshua ben Yosef, came to be Jesus Christ, the most widely worshipped figure on earth.
The Mark Drama, unfortunately, is largely uninterested in this potential. At the beginning, an apology was made for the actors, who were all amateur performers. It was unnecessary. The performances were fine. Apologies should have been made for the uninspired direction, the terribly anachronistic ad-libs, the unimaginative script, or the lack of any attempt to challenge a Sunday-school understanding of this figure.
If you have been to mass any number of times you have seen this type of performance before. Bible passages are read aloud while the more enthusiastic church-goers, usually the younger ones, do a little pantomime to them. Picture that, but slightly warmed over – the characters actually say their lines, but not much else is improved.
There were some flourishes. The play is performed as theatre-in-the-round, and the performers used this set-up to its fullest potential. The story about Jesus being at sea with his disciples, in the midst of a storm, is wonderfully immersive. The analogy of the woman with seven husbands, all brothers, is genuinely funny. The crucifixion scene was forceful and confronting. But the rest of it? Oh my.
The apostles cluster around Jesus in an animated gaggle, excitedly whispering to each other as he heals the sick or casts out demons. ("Oh my gosh! She's healed! Jesus is amazing!") One actor fist-pumped when Jesus re-christened him 'Peter'. Another actor walked on stage and announced himself, to no one in particular, as a Sadducee. A third reacts to being healed of his deafness with mild surprise. First century Jews apparently had the emotional range of toddlers, and no internal monologues.
The Mark Drama promises a dramatic retelling of Jesus' ministry, but under-delivers with mildly colourful pantomime. Christians searching for a comfortable dramatisation of the gospel might appreciate this play, but they won't get much out of it. There's little here to challenge mainstream theistic notions of the man or provoke spiritual reflection. For everyone else, it will serve as a reminder of why The Life of Brian worked so well as a parody.

Where money grows
Today I'm going to tell you about something new—or, rather, I am going to do something new, which is open a subject I usually like to keep very much closed.
This letter, by nature, exists in the plane of the personal. That's how it started—as something I needed to do for myself—and that's why it's still alive, even if in fits and jumps. By not trying to hide the personal, by indeed highlighting scars rather than camouflaging them with makeup or a bit of sly photo editing, we bring truth a little closer, lasso it and tug.
It's an innately human desire to tug at truth until it's in full view, excavate and examine it until we are pleased with our well-considered conclusions. It is also instinctual to want to share only the prettiest fragments of our own truths, our most charming ecstasies and none of our agonies. When we do share those darker realities, though, we usually find that the act of offering is itself a catharsis, to ourselves as well as others, because there are always others who relate to our pains. When we give them breath, others expand.
In this letter, I have shared many of my own large and little agonies—stories of loss, death, depression, fear, mental illness, compulsion, abuse, violence. But there is one subject that consumes a fair fraction of my life, too many days, that I have not written about here. Unless you are a close friend or family member, or unless you have caught me in a moment of absolute panic, there's a slim chance you've heard me talk about it with any openness, beyond a comment passed under the tone of self-deprecation. That subject is money.
I know I'm not alone; most of us are raised to avoid the subject, even though at one point or another we all crumple under the weight of our financial lives, if for different reasons. It defies good etiquette, comes off as boastful or intrusive, marries feelings of self-worth to fiscal worth. Women, especially, are told not to discuss money, although hopefully we are starting to break from that tradition. God forbid we tell each other how much we make and lend some transparency to the wage gap we all know exists yet hope somehow doesn't apply to our circumstances. Let me tell you: It does.
The thing about sharing experiences of financial hardship, as opposed to experiences of grief and illness and trauma, is that much more agency, or responsibility, is assigned to the topic. It is not your fault if someone you love gets sick and dies. It is not your fault if a stranger breaks into your home while you're sleeping and tries to rape you. It is not your fault if you were born with an anxiety disorder and it took you 30-some years to come to terms with it. It is most likely your fault if you are always struggling to pay your bills. There's only so much blame you can assign to bad luck.
It sneaks up on you, much like an abusive relationship. You let small things go early on, chalk them up to youth or a bad day or week or month. You can't afford groceries so you put them on a credit card. Your boyfriend calls one of your ideas stupid—uses that actual word, stupid. It stings, you tell yourself it won't happen again. But of course it does.
It's rarely one bad choice that leads to the trouble; it's the seemingly microscopic series of choices that add up to a height so terrifying, it seems impossible that you will ever find your way down.
You do it for love, after all. Love of career, love of lifestyle, love of relationship. You take a low-paying job in your industry because, let's face it, most jobs in your industry are low-paying. But they're noble. By taking the job and choosing passion over wealth, by forgiving him and choosing loyalty over ego, you are noble, too. What's a little martyrdom in the name of love?
It chips away at you, though, one nick and then another, carving at you as it winnows your freedom. Each cut weakens your foundation, makes it more likely that you might topple, makes it harder to leave in search of a place that doesn't scratch at your bones.
It isn't until your credit card is declined at the grocery store, until he blatantly starts putting you down in public, that you realize exactly what kind of quicksand you've stepped into. And still, you tell yourself it's temporary. You're young; you'll make more money when you're older. He's young, he's going through a phase. It will all work out.
Your student loans come out of deferment and you have no idea how you're supposed to pay them. Maybe if your credit card statements weren't so high that simply paying the monthly minimums cleans you out—but they are, and they do. You didn't feel foolish when you took those government loans so you could attend the school of your dreams. You felt proud. But holding your forehead in one hand as you hold up your phone with the other to ask for one more extension, and then another, and another, the last thing you feel is pride.
Unwilling to accept the weight of your current circumstances, you pawn off your problems to a future version of yourself, when you'll make more money, when you'll have a double income, when the magic of time will wash away all of these stains. It will all work out.
It's rarely one bad choice that leads to the trouble; it's the seemingly microscopic series of choices that add up to a height so terrifying, it seems impossible that you will ever find your way down. The midday latte. Ordering delivery because you're tired from a long day. Taking a car instead of the subway because it'll take half the amount of time and it's raining and you're running late, as usual. Not asking for a raise because you're scared of appearing greedy. Not going and finding another job because you love the one you have, even if it doesn't pay you what you're worth. Not speaking up when he puts you down, walks in front of you, ignores you when you're talking. Not leaving because you're scared you'll end up with nothing, even though zero is still higher than the negative that now defines your life.
Too often it takes a breaking point, a crash, a cataclysm to wake you to the mess you've managed to make your home. Too often you change course not out of choice but because someone shoved you into a free-fall. It was 18 years ago that I was pushed from a relationship that knocked a hole in me, and into a better life. For 18 years, I have remembered the lesson. And yet right alongside it, I have ignored a different kind of abuse, which, like so many of our injuries, has harmed not just my home, but the lives of those around me. In this story, I am the abuser, in denial of my crimes.
But here is a beautiful truth: Unlike the agonies of your life that were forced upon you—illness or violence or unknowable, illogical fear—this is an agony with a solution. The shame it radiates may be more pungent for your role in letting it fester. It may terrify and batter you and threaten your sense of self. But you can reclaim your pride. If you're smart, you can find a way out of the quicksand. And, with enough work, you can wash yourself clean.

This is such an important topic because, it is such a serious personal and societal issue that not being adequately addressed. Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences. There is a common shortsightedness in our country about helping develop the younger generation into financially stable, productive adults. This shortsightedness promotes the dream of the perfect 9-5 job as being guaranteed if you have a college education. Then after graduation with debt higher than the cost of a small condo, there is no job waiting beyond a part-time, no benefits minimum wage job. It is easy for young adults to buy into that dream, as it plays on the legendary American Dream of starting from scratch and rising to the top. We live near a college town where monthly rent and food costs about 2.5 times the minimum wage. The housing shortage is a misnomer — as there have been thousands of apartments built in the past few years. It is an affordable housing shortage that plagues the students and all those in the service industries as well as teachers and many other professions. So, while it is true that each person makes their own choices about how to spend their money, the deck is stacked against the younger generations with the lack of opportunities, the increased costs of living, and the lack of guidance by the older generations.

Thank you for this, Paula. I appreciate your generosity, and when it comes to how younger generations are being set up to succeed (or fail), I think you're absolutely right. The amount of debt young people carry around with them is a national crisis. It makes me hopeful, though, to see more people recognizing and talking about that crisis. It's not an easy problem to fix, either on an individual level or a nationl one, but it can be done. As with many things, talking about it is a good first step.
