A theatre show for teenage audiences about the life and work of pioneering Irish-born chemist,
Kathleen Lonsdale.
Professor Kathleen Lonsdale was the pioneering Irish chemist who proved that the Benzene ring is flat by using X-ray Crystallography. One of the first female Fellows of the Royal Society and winner of the Davey Medal in 1957, Professor Lonsdale was also a tenured professor, a mother of three, a vegetarian before it was cool, a former inmate of Holloway Prison, and a peace activist. In other words, a scientist and citizen vastly ahead of her contemporaries. In the public consciousness, however, she is curiously unknown.
The Lonsdale Project seeks to rectify this. Super Paua want to tells Lonsdale's story (and the story of hexamethylbenzane) through an accessible theatre piece for teenagers aged 11+. Portraying the hugeness and beauty of microscopic worlds theatrically, we hope to move the field of X-ray Crystallography from the incomprehensible to the humorous, the visual, the wonderful, and bring Kathleen's story and legacy to a new generation of scientists and citizens.

Most scientists agree that what makes human beings radically different from all other mammals is that we talk with each other. There has not been enough time for evolution to make human brains that much different from apes, and DNA research has reinforced this belief. Human speech, however, learned rapidly after birth, appears to drive many of the differences in brain organization that allow people to carry on a conversation with their parents but not with their dogs. This came as a surprise to researchers, since conventional wisdom attributed speech to human brain organization and not the other way around. People got bigger and better brains because they needed to express bigger and better thoughts vocally. Between the ages of 5 and 11 years, the average person learns about two or three new words a day, because it is necessary to do so.
Be that as it may, only humans appear to use the voice as the primary means of deep social interaction. And as human society spread throughout the world, the need to keep in touch vocally led to the development of the worldwide telephone system and now drives the need to add voice to the global Internet.
Voice or human speech is generated by air from the lungs vibrating special vocal cords in the throat and also to a lesser extent the tongue and lips to form sounds, known technically as phonemes. The vibrations occur at a range of frequencies (number of vibrations per second) that do not vary much from culture to culture. However, the exact array of sounds made varies from culture to culture, and studies have shown that if a certain sound is not learned properly by the age of 7 years or so, the ability to generate that sound correctly is lost forever. This is one reason that the later a person learns a foreign language, the more likely he or she is to always speak with a pronounced accent. The sounds are arranged into voice units called words, words are organized into phrases, phrases make sentences, and so on.
The distance at which the human voice can be heard also varies. This range depends on weather factors, as well as the power of the sound. Some sounds are more powerful than others, a feature of voice that will be important later on in this chapter. Voice is a pressure wave generated in the air that travels from mouth to ear. Voice pressure waves are acoustical waves, as are the sounds made be musical instruments, animal growls, bird calls, and so forth. Pressure waves are fundamentally different than the type of electrical (technically, electromagnetic) waves that operate in power systems, wireless cellular telephone networks, TV systems, and data networks. Acoustical waves rely on air to carry them. The thinner the air, such as at higher altitudes, the less power is in the voice. Water, being very dense, carries sound waves so well that ears, normally capable of determining the direction of a sound source with ease, cannot discern where sounds come from; they seem to come from all directions at once.
Voice, carried on these acoustical waves, is a form of analog information. This means that the amplitude of the signal can vary from a maximum to a minimum and take on any value at all in between. Voice sounds can be described in one of several ways. There are frictives and labials, for instance. But when it comes to understanding voice digitization techniques, it is easiest to describe voice as a mixture of high-amplitude sounds called voiced sounds and low-amplitude sounds called unvoiced sounds. In the English language, voiced sounds include the vowel sounds such as a, e, i, o, and u. Voiced sounds are formed in the throat and are determined directly by vocal chord positioning. Unvoiced sounds are the consonants such as b, t, v, and so on. Unvoiced sounds are formed by the tongue and lips as air is passed directly through the vocal cords. Voiced sounds have about 20 times more amplitude than unvoiced sounds and carry most of the power of human speech. However, the unvoiced sounds are what ears rely on to distinguish between words having the same vowel sounds at their core, like the difference between belt, felt, and melt.
Figure 2-1 shows the relative amplitude of voiced and unvoiced sounds in an analog acoustical wave. The figure represents a pressure wave as a time waveform, a common enough practice. Other languages use other sounds, but all are formed with either the throat or mouth playing the major role. This limited range of possible sounds is an important feature of analog voice that comes into play in modern voice digitization techniques. However, the sound should never be confused with the letter or letters of the alphabet that represents it. The explosive k in the English word skate is quite different from the k sound in the word kite.

The explosive k in the English word skate is quite different from the k sound in the word kite.
Figure 2-1: The English word salt as an acoustical wave representing analog voice.
Voiced sounds, as illustrated by Figure 2-1, have fairly regular waveforms, since the vibrations in the throat are very stable. On the other hand, unvoiced sounds have a more random and unpredictable waveform pattern because the position of the mouth can vary during sound generation. These observations also will become important in modern voice digitization techniques.
Voiced waveforms tend to repeat in what is known as the pitch interval. The length of the pitch interval can vary, most notably between men and women (this is not a sexist comment, just a report on the findings of acoustical engineers). When men speak, the pitch interval lasts between 5 and 20 ms (thousandths of a second), and when women speak, the pitch interval typically lasts 2.5 to 10
ms. Voiced sounds last from 100 to 125 ms. Thus a single voiced sound can have anywhere from 5 to 50 pitch intervals that repeat during a single sound. Oddly, not all the pitch intervals are needed for understandable speech. People can understand speech faster than people can generate speech. Some television commercials, in a quest to jam as much talk into a 20-s spot as possible, routinely remove some of the repeated pitch intervals in voiced sounds to speed up the voice without distorting it. The result sounds somehow strange to viewers, but few can say exactly what the difference is.
One further aspect of human voice should be discussed before moving on to the invention of the telephone. This is the fact that silence plays a large role in human speech communication. The listener at the moment is almost totally silent during a conversation, save for short sounds generated to let the speaker know that he or she is still paying attention ("uh-huh") and understanding the speaker ("Go on"). These feedback sounds are most frequent when two people are conversing and almost totally absent when one person is addressing a group of listeners (thankfully).
Moreover, silence occurs in the speaker from the need to draw a breath at the end of a sentence or long phrase. Silences of shorter duration occur within phrases, between words, and even within words themselves, usually words consisting of multiple syllables (a syllable is a consonant and vowel combination treated as a unit of speech).
During a typical conversation between two people, active voice is generated by one person or the other only about 40 percent of the time. Fully half the time comes from one person listening, and the other 10 percent comes from pauses between sentences, words, and syllables. During a telephone call, the listener also pays attention to background noise, not only obvious noise sources such as TVs or radios but a persistent low-level hum. This persistent background noise is known as ambient sound. The presence of ambient sound even in the absence of speech allows the listener to realize that the line is still "live" and has not failed abruptly.
Thus human speech is characterized by three major features:
1.A mixture of high-amplitude voiced sounds and low-amplitude unvoiced sounds
2.A mixture of more regular and predictable voiced waveforms and more random unvoiced waveforms
3.Silence nearly 60 percent of the time during a two-way conversation
Any voice digitization technique should take all these voice features into account. And if one voice digitization technique acknowledges only one characteristic and another takes into account all three, then it can be said with confidence that the second voice digitization method is better than the first.

Scientific Reports publication on floral senescence
HHU biologists increase longevity of cut flowers
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and 14 February will see huge quantities of cut flowers being bought as a gift. However, not only on this occasion, flowers bring joy and a bit of nature into our homes and offices, but also anytime of the year. According to a statistic from the United Nations on imports, the world trade value of cut flowers is roughly USD 4 billion. The main purchasers are Europe (66.7%), the USA (19.3%) and Japan (10.7%). In Germany alone, the average per capita spending on cut flowers and decorative plants amounts to roughly EUR 100 per year.
So it's important for traders and consumers that these flowers - which are often transported over long distances from where they are grown in Africa and South America - stay fresh for a long time and don't start to wilt already after a few days. The research team of Prof. Dr. Georg Groth from the Institute of Biochemical Plant Physiology at HHU has developed an efficient method for slowing down the wilting process of cut flowers. In the current edition of the journal Scientific Reports, the scientists describe how a synthetic peptide can be used to alter the response of cut flowers to the gaseous plant hormone ethylene substantially.
In recent years, several international research teams have identified the major elements of the ethylene signalling pathway and have determined their molecular functions and downstream interactions. These studies showed that each plant cell perceives the hormone via special receptors. From the receptors the signal is then transmitted via different protein molecules into the cell nucleus, where it triggers the wilting process, known as 'senescence'. Interaction between the hormone receptors and the downstream ethylene pathway protein EIN2 is essential for the ethylene signalling process. By closing off this interaction signal transfer to the nucleus is disrupted and the wilting process can be delayed.
The research team of Prof. Groth made use of this finding and copied a short sequence from the EIN2 protein consisting of just eight consecutive amino acids. They introduced this sequence to the plant as a synthetic peptide called NOP-1. This peptide blocks the interaction of receptors and EIN2, which ultimately interrupts the transfer of the ethylene signal.
Experiments on different cut flower varieties such as roses and carnations demonstrated the simplicity, effectiveness and sustainability of this approach. NOP-1 is absorbed by the cut flower from the vase water. The biologists in Düsseldorf provide clear evidence on the NOP-1effect to extend the vase life of cut flowers.
Influencing senescence in cut flowers in a targeted manner is not the only application area for NOP-1. Prof. Groth and his group had previously demonstrated that NOP-1 can also inhibit fruit ripening in tomatoes and apples.
The next step now is to identify partners in industry to exploit a potential commercial use of NOP-1. This includes further studies to confirm non-toxicity as well as process development for cost-effective and economic production of NOP-1.

I don't see a need for this in the FCL yet. At least not until the dust that you are whirling up has settled down as FPC has a quite slow release cycle.

I'm a huge sweets lover, and I always have to have a few sweets and snacks throughout the day at Disney. Anyplace that has cookies, ice cream, brownies, sundaes, and cupcakes, I've most likely been there and stuffed myself crazy. During the summertime at Disney World, the only thing on my mind is a huge, cold sundae with some form of hot fudge and Oreos. There are so many places to get great ice cream at Disney World too, like The Fountain at the Dolphin Resort, The Plaza on Main Street, and I love the Fountain View at Epcot. But my hands down favorite ice cream place to eat at is Beaches and Cream at Disney's Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World.
Beaches and Cream is located at The Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World, right next to Epcot. It's tucked away on the backside of the hotel, right next to one of the pools. Don't bother trying to go to the Disney website to make a reservation, because they don't accept them. This is probably the only thing I dislike about this place. Especially during the busy times, you're probably going to wait at least an hour to get a table (But it's SO worth it!). They do sell a few select things to go, but it's just not the same as actually sitting here, enjoying the nostalgic atmosphere, listening to Buddy Holly on the jukebox, and smelling the sweet sundaes and milkshakes being made right next to you!
The exterior really doesn't do anything for this place, until you walk inside, and it feels like you've stepped back in time to a 1950s ice cream parlor. One of my favorite time periods is the 1950s, and I have a huge love for diners and ice cream parlors. I obviously didn't grow up in this period to remember these during their heyday, but something about them just feels like home. I love the pastel colors, the tile work, the light fixtures, and everything else about the decor of Beaches and Cream.
And, here's a little close-up of the tile work of the floor. So adorable.
Let's not forget the most important thing about this place, the yummy food! My favorite meal here is the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque, it totally takes me back to my childhood.
My absolute favorite dessert to get here is the Fudge Mud Slide. Who doesn't love a hot brownie with hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, and the fact that they make the Oreos on top into a Mickey?! Way too good. Just writing this makes me want to dig into my fridge and pray for something I can whip together to be somewhat similar to this!
One of the things on my bucket list is to get the Kitchen Sink here. It's basically a kitchen sink bowl, with a scoop of every ice cream they have, with every topping they have, then with whipped cream and cherries on top. Not bad for a $28.99 sundae!
I hope you've enjoyed my favorite ice cream place at Disney! I would definitely put it on my top list of things to do at Disney, and hopefully waiting in line forever to eat here will be so worth it to you too! I mean, don't we usually wait in line for an hour to spend about 3 minutes in a log that drops into a briar patch? Exactly. I think I can wait an hour for a mind blowing ice cream sundae!

Officials announced the start of new payment options on Thursday
New ways of paying for parking have launched in Erie.
Erie Mayor Joe Schember and officials with the Erie Parking Authority and the local developers of meterEZ announced during Schember's weekly news conference on Thursday that two new ways of feeding the city's parking meters are in place.
Two parking kiosks were installed outside the Erie County Courthouse on West Sixth Street on Thursday morning to allow motorists to pay for meter time using coins, cash, credit cards or prepaid cards. A number of parking spaces can be paid for using a single kiosk, and they can send text alerts if the user's meter time is expiring, officials have said.
Also launched on Thursday was meterEZ, an app that allows motorists to pay for parking by phone.
"For many years, people in the city of Erie have had to carry quarters. That ends today," said Christopher Friday, deputy director of the Erie Parking Authority. "As of today, you can download the meterEZ app and use a credit card for your parking payments."
Nate Wheeler of weCreate website design in Erie said his company was instrumental in developing the parking app, and was very excited to see it launched. Using the meterEZ app, motorists can punch in their meter number and use a payment method to put time on the meter. The technology requires no infrastructure changes or additional costs, Wheeler said.
"Pulling up to a meter today and pulling out that app and paying for my parking in a couple of seconds without quarters was a pretty cool feeling, so we're looking for quarter-quitters," he said.
Users of meterEZ will be notified by text to the person's cell phone if the meter time is running out and more time needs to be purchased, Wheeler said. Parking Authority employees will be equipped with technology to verify that a meter is paid for, he said.
Friday said the Erie Parking Authority is working diligently to bring new technologies to the city, and he asked anyone with suggestions to pass them along as the work moves forward.

Milk Dried Up
I could have gotten over the rotten smell / taste if this product worked, but my milk still dried up. What a terrible experience.
Aug 31, 2009
Worked for me!
I feared my milk would never come in so after my daughter was born I took this religiously and on day four MY MILK CAME IN! I'm so thankful. The odor of the drops is really terrible, but try mixing it in tea to mask the taste (you still might smell it, but you won't taste it).

UHF CBs use Frequency Modulation (FM) to transmit/receive. Since UHF signals generally travel in a straight line, the terrain impacts how well the signal is transmitted or received. For example, UHF CB radios will perform poorly in hilly or forested areas and perform well in flat open countryside. UHF CBs can also access repeater stations that re-transmit the signals on another channel which can provide much further coverage. So invest is a good antenna to compliment your UHF CB radio.
The antenna is a device for transmitting and/or receiving signals – the eyes and ears of your UHF radio. A good antenna is designed to be "in-tune" to the signal you are seeking – your radio "sees" the signal and you hear a clear conversation. Use a poor antenna or mount the antenna is a bad location, will greatly reduce your range and clarity.
Mobile antenna should radiate in a symmetrical pattern 360° around the antenna. However depending on where you mount your antenna, the way the antenna radiates will be affected. The best location for an antenna is in the middle of you roof however this is generally not practical. Most UHF CB antennas are mounted the front guard or bull bar. In these cases, it is essential that you A) use a ground independent antenna B) mount the antenna away for vertical metal sections like windscreen pillars, other antennas etc. and C) mount the antenna as high as possible.
While the radiation pattern is important, antenna gain increases the antennas performance. As gain is increased, the radiation gets compressed into a thinner pattern and reaches out further to the side. The more gain an antenna has the thinner the pattern becomes and the further the signal can travel or reach. However a thinner radiation pattern may prevent strong signal reception when driving through hills. A summary of the ideal gain for each situation is as follows; low gain antennas (2-4 dBi) are good for hilly terrain but lack range in flat terrain; medium gain antennas (5-7 dBi) are good all round antenna which works well in hilly and flat terrain and high gain antennas (8+ dBi) are good in flat terrain but poor in hilly terrain.
Ground independent antennas are antennas that have been designed to simulate a ground plane which allow it to perform efficiently with a minimum or no ground plane. Hence they are ideal for mounting on bull bars or guards etc.

Who Is Responsible For Pulling Permits In My Home Remodel?
In the process of remodeling your home, making sure that your work has the appropriate building permits is vital. Work done without a building permit or work that is not up to local building codes may need to be corrected or even completely pulled down and rebuilt, a waste of precious time and money. Even if unlicensed work or work in violation of local building codes is allowed to stand in your home, this could lead to safety issues, putting your home and your family at risk. Although the process of getting the right building permits for a remodel can be confusing to many homeowners, the first step is to determine who is actually in charge of checking this off the list. Here we look at a few different scenarios that can help you ascertain who is responsible for getting building permits for your remodel.
If You Are Doing Your Own Remodel
If you are planning to do your own home remodel, then you will be the one responsible for obtaining the remodel permit. The exact process varies by location, so it is important to do your due diligence and research the exact requirements for your city. The permit process will require a good site plan so hiring an architect, designer, or other professional to draw the project as it will be constructed is vital and will save you time and money.
Hiring unlicensed contractors to do work on your home remodel complicates the process further because, as the homeowner, you will be solely responsible for the contractors' work and safety. In these cases, the responsibility for getting the right building permits at the right time completely rests with the homeowner, and any issues will likewise be the responsibility of the homeowner to correct.
If You Are Hiring A Licensed Contractor
A licensed home remodeling contractor working on your project has the ability to secure the right building permits for your remodel when you need them, and is specially certified to obtain building permits from building authorities. This is because they usually have the experience and skills to identify when a building permit is needed, as well as knowing the right procedure to secure one. Having a licensed contractor obtain the building permit is advantageous for a number of reasons. Firstly, they have the detailed plans and overall vision of your home remodel project in mind. Secondly, they know how to secure the right building permits for the work you want to have done, including typical lead times. Lastly, licensed contractors must supply a state contractor's license to obtain a building permit, thus ensuring the quality of the work. Hiring a licensed design build contractor ensures your remodel not only looks outstanding, but that it meets all building codes without you having to worry or stress.
If You Are Hiring A Remodel Team
For larger home remodeling projects you may hire a remodel team consisting of a variety of professionals, including building contractors, electricians, plumbers and more. In this case, you may decide to hire each of these people independently or you might instead hire a general contractor, someone who employs and manages the relevant subcontractors. If you hire a general contractor they can be your single point of contact and liaison to secure all the relevant building permits for your remodel.
Hiring individual contractors instead means that you need to ensure they are all licensed and each have the relevant building permits required for their work. For most remodel projects, homeowners prefer to hire a home remodel general contractor in order to have a project leader and a primary point of contact for the remodel.
Making sure that you understand who is responsible for pulling building permits on your home remodel ensures you always obtain work that is high quality, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and that meets all relevant building codes.

Myofascial Release Treatments
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct Myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
Benefits from MFR?
- Decrease Pain
- Increase Range of Motion
- Eliminate "Holding Patterns"
- Increase Body Awareness
- Increase your Mobility
- Develop Strength
Cancer/Oncology Massage
Oncology Massage is a special type of massage developed specifically for cancer patients. Cancer patients have unique needs which must be addressed to make sure that a massage is beneficial to their health. I focus my attention on creating a gentle, nurturing environment for you to relax into. I also work on scar tissue and rescontructive surgery that help to smooth the skin and repair the tissue to the proper integrity. Breast replacement and reduction surgeries often leave the skin tight and inflexible. MIME can restore the connective tissue to have a pain free scar and movement with oncology massage.
Restorative Exercise Session

REXItm is a dynamic system for improving your balance and integrating your full body approach to health for flexibility and overall well-being.

Movement=Circulation=HEALTHY TISSUE
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation. I am also trained as a Doula and can provide delivery service with your OB or midwife. Please inquire about this at your appointment.
Infant Massage
Infant Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically to promote the healthy development of your infant. Caring human touch is crucial for a healthy thriving baby, and the benefits of massaging your infant are potent and numerous. For example, many infants show improved growth and development of the brain and nervous system. Infant massage has also been shown to improve the quality of a baby's sleep, as well as strengthening their immune system.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Myofascial Release Treatment
Myofascial Release is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial Release differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the matrix of membranes that are surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on the range of motion and alignment of the the entire structure. Without proper alignment the body can have friction that is asscoiated with pain through misalignment. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, Myofascial Release techniques focuses specifically on releasing tension in the entire fascial system, allowing for a free range of motion without friction.
10 MFR Sessions
Purchase 10 sessions of MFR Treatments for $900.00 You save $5.00 per session for $50.00 savings.

Have you ever felt not important or invisible to your partner? Have you ever felt that no matter what you do or say it will never be good enough?
Most couples have experienced moments of disconnection, moments of feeling invisible or that our efforts to connect are dismissed and not taken into account. As mammals, we are wired to connect. We need to connect, feel part of, feel loved and special to someone. Close ties with others is a key element for our health and wellbeing: both physical and emotional. There are several studies that show the importance of emotional closeness with others and physical health.
A study conducted by the University of Chicago shows how loneliness is a factor that in increased blood pressure to a degree where the risk of heart failure and stroke is doubled. The quality of the ties we have with others is crucial, not only having ties with others. Much stress in relationships also affects health in a negative way. There is a study conducted by the Case Western University University studied men with angina and high blood pressure. Men with low marital satisfaction suffered twice as many angina episodes than men with high marital satisfaction. Much stress within the relationship also affects our immune system.
Here is one interesting research from Ohio State University. The researchers used a vacuum pump to produce small blisters on the hands of female volunteers. These women then had a fight with their husbands. The more intense and stressful the fight, the longer it took for the skin to heal.
Of course, the quality of our relationship also affects our emotional and psychological health. Anxiety and depression are the most common effects of distress in the relationship. Increased conflict and hostile criticism from our partner increases a sense of vulnerability, self-doubt, and helplessness which lead to depression.
There are intense effects on our health due to stress in our relationships. This is because we need to connect. We need to feel loved. When we don't we go to our protection mode, which actually gets us more in trouble and is part of the physical and psychological effects we mentioned.
What happens when we go to our protection Mode?
When our relationship is threatened, we tend to go to our fight and flight mode. Some of us fight while some of us withdraw. These protective reactions lead us to the creation of cycles. In relationships we establish cycles which are circular interactions where one reaction trigger the reaction from the other partner which triggers the reaction of the first partner, and so on… We find ourselves reacting and reacting, going in circles that don't lead anywhere. We feel not heard, misunderstood, powerless, and disconnected.
Usually, while we are in this cycle, the last thing we will do is to express our true feelings. Our pain and hurt of feeling disconnected from you. Instead, we show either frustration and anger or indifference, nothing. We cannot connect with either indifference or anger. Both actually trigger a protective response on the other partner which in turn shows us indifference or anger with which we cannot connect and triggers our own need to protect ourselves.
This cycle starts small. Sometimes even almost invisible. If we are not aware of it, or if we dismiss it, it grows bigger and bigger. With time it can reach a point where it seems that it's all there is in the relationship. We stop being able to connect and have fun. The smallest thing sparks our protective mechanism and there we go, spiraling out of control into this cycle that seems to have gained a life of its own… apparently unstoppable, overwhelming, exhausting, powerful.
What does your cycle look like?
Usually, there are two broad ways in which partners experience a disconnection. Some feel not cared for and abandoned. They might feel things like "I am invisible, I am alone". While others feel rejected and criticized constantly and defined as failing, inadequate, or not wanted. As a response to these feelings, some become critical and judgmental while others numb out and protect themselves by distancing. What happens inside of you when you get into a fight or feel triggered? Do you shut down or do you want to fix it right now? How does your partner respond when you feel triggered and either shut down or go out there? How does your partner's response make you feel? How does it fuel you? How do you respond?
Perfect! Now you have your cycle mapped out, next, we need to figure out what to do to stop this cycle becoming your relationship.

In Their Own Words
December 23, 1736
Wesley Recorded Getting Lost
In his journal, John Wesley recorded a harrowing day and night he and two companions endured:
"Wednesday 23. Mr. Delamotte and I, with a Guide, set out to walk to Cowpen; when we had walk'd two or three Hours, our Guide told us plainly, 'He did not know where we were.' However, believing it could not be far off, we thought it best to go on. In an Hour or two we came to Cypress-Swamp, which lay directly across our way: There was not Time to walk back to Savannah before Night; so we walk'd thro' it, the Water being about Breast-high. By that Time we had gone a mile beyond it, we were out of all Path; and it now being past Sun-set, we sat down, intending to make a Fire, and to stay there 'till Morning; but finding our Tender wet, we were at a Stand; I advis'd to walk on still; but my Companions being faint and weary, were for lying down, which we accordingly did about Six o'Clock: The Ground was as wet as our Cloaths, which (it being a sharp Frost) were soon froze together; however, I slept 'till Six in the Morning. There fell a heavy Dew in the Night, which cover'd us over as white with Snow. Within an Hour after Sun-rise, we came to a Plantation, and in the Evening, without any Hurt, to Savannah."
