Fashion of the 90's', Baby
Ethan Evans, Staff Writer
All of the good fashions of the 90's babies are categorized into four major groups, and then branch off into like a zillion sub-groups. You have designer, box logo/street wear, casual hipster, and prep/semi-formal. You begin to come across the sub-groups when these major groups are mixed, or deviated in the slightest form.
Designer is pretty self-explanatory. It usually consist of the brands crafted by, and named after one or two designers. Designer is really expensive, but our generation lives in a period where we're constantly in the pursuit of the BMF(Blow Money Fast) life. Designer is just a way to burn our money, but look good while doing it.
Box logo, more commonly known as street wear, is my personal preference. The name box logo comes from the elite urban brand Supreme. One of Supreme's most popular designs is just a grey hoodie with a red rectangular box that reads, "Supreme" in a white font in said box. So it's just a logo in a box, hence the name. Street wear was formed by the urban cultures of our generation. The skaters, rockers, and rappers got together and condensed the passions of our generation into dope threads, and we loved it, like we loved late night delinquency.
The casual hipster is a look that tends to grow on you with time. Hipsters are a very bright, and innovative bunch that you would find in some khaki joggers, a floral button up shirt, a Levi jean jacket, sk8 high Vans, and ALWAYS crazy graphic socks. By definition, hipsters are people that stay up on the latest trends and fashions, so when they start they're new trends, your like, "What are they wearing?" Then some time passes, and you say, "Hey, I kinda like it…"
Last but not least, is your semi-formal wear. Where the kids wear the nice little blazers, with the worn Levi 511's, clear lens RayBans, and Sperry Topsiders. Its something I would wear to an interview, but some people would wear it to a casual social gathering. Personally not my style, but still very fashionable none the less.
Once combined, these major categories become subgroups. Not saying these are the only categories, but these are the ones that are actual nice. There is the punk rock style, the anime gear, and all that other stuff, but come on now… I mean by all means if you wanna wear that, do it. Just know there are fashion police out there, so keep that in mind before you throw on your threads.

What is Motorola's X8 Mobile Computing System?
When Motorola took the wraps off its new DROID family of phones last week, one of the highlighted areas involved their new X8 Mobile Computing System that is tied to the dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor inside each phone. They gave us a general overview of this idea that they had an octa-core type of experience inside each device, with cores dedicated to performing low-power tasks. But the dirty details were somewhat missing.
Today, Iqbal Arshad, Motorola's senior vice president of engineering, shared some of the secrets with PCMag on the eve of the Moto X unveiling, since well, the Moto X is expected to carry a similar CPU setup.
From what we have gathered from Iqbal's comments, the X8 system is a cluster of processors and "then some separate elements of the system," that allow for "intelligent, probabilistic computing." Don't be fooled though, the base is indeed that dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro clocked at 1.7GHz, but Motorola has done some things to its firmware to make it somewhat of a custom job.
But maybe most importantly, Motorola can take X8 and apply it to any mobile processor because they have "decoupled" all of their customizations from the legacy CPU. In other words, X8 will show up in devices sporting even newer or more powerful mobile processors down the road.
It's interesting stuff, to say the least. We were once disappointed by the inclusion of a dual-core processor that's a year old, but if Motorola's X8 system can live up to any of this newly built hype, we may not care what CPU is inside.


Turns out there IS a way to make a better Rice Krispie Treats recipe—by using another favorite cereal. These kid-friendly Lucky Charms Treats are a quick no bake dessert made with only 3 ingredients: butter, marshmallows, and Lucky Charms. You can even make them pink for Valentine's Day!
If you love homemade Rice Krispie treats—and how could you not?—it's time to take things to the next level and sub Lucky Charms for Rice Krispies. They're just as easy, possibly twice as delicious, and three times as pretty.
For Valentine's Day, make your Lucky Charms treats festively pink by using Fruity Lucky Charms. The cereal tastes familiarly fruity, like a cross between Trix and Froot Loops—with the same sweet marshmallows we all know and love.
You'll need 3 simple ingredients: 1 stick of butter, a 16-ounce bag of mini marshmallows, and an 11-ounce box of whatever flavor of Lucky Charms you like (here I've used pink Fruity Lucky Charms). Melt the butter in a large saucepan on your stovetop then stir in the marshmallows and cook until they're melted, too. Remove the pot from heat and mix in the cereal. Press the mixture evenly into a 13- by 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Let cool and then cut into squares.
To make pressing the sticky marshmallow mixture into the baking dish a little easier, you can either spritz your fingers with cooking spray OR spray one side of a piece of plastic wrap and use that to push the cereal into the dish (oiled-side-down facing the cereal bars).
Try not to pack the cereal down too tightly when you press it into the baking dish because it will make for tough, hard bars.
Make Rice Krispie treats even better using Lucky Charms cereal. This quick no bake dessert is kid friendly and made with only 3 ingredients: butter, marshmallows, and Lucky Charms. You can even make them pink for a festive Valentine's Day dessert!
Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are melted. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the Lucky Charms, stirring until they're completely mixed into the marshmallow mixture. Scoop into the baking dish and use your hands to gently press the cereal into an even layer (don't pack the cereal down too firmly or the bars will turn out hard). Cool completely before cutting.
These will be the perfect treats for St. Patrick's day! What a great idea. Thanks for the recipe!


Every economy around the world still finds itself in a pickle. For some countries, important deadlines are on the horizon. The US economy is just over two weeks away from its debt ceiling deadline. Depending on how this event plays out, the US economy may effectively grind to a halt. David Stockman warns for a "fiscal bloodbath", which does not bode all that well.
Now that the debt ceiling deadline is almost upon us, things may start to look bad for the US economy moving forward. While some people expect a financial stimulus, it is more likely the opposite will become true. A fiscal bloodbath will send shockwaves throughout the US economy, that much is certain. Thirty years of building up debts will come knocking on president Trump's door sooner rather than later.
Keeping the current stock market trend going will be challenging for Trump. Stockman feels thinking he can is absolutely delusional and people should prepare for the worst case scenario. Right now, the US debt is 106% of GDP, which will be incredibly difficult to overcome. Then again, Trump wants to increase spending rather than save money to address this debt. Sweeping tax cuts are also unlikely to happen, as there is no scenario in which doing so would be viable.
March 15 of 2017 will be a crucial data for all Americans on the planet. On this day, the debt ceiling "holiday" put together by Obama and Boehner expires. Moreover, the debt ceiling will freeze at US$20 trillion, which is the same number it is at today. From that point forward, no more debt can be created by the US economy. Considering the country burns through US$75bn worth of cash every month, the US may find itself out of tangible money by the Summer of 2017. Although it is unclear if this will happen, it is a rather troublesome idea.
Moreover, there will be no Obama Care to bail people out this time. It is one of the first things Trump decided to get rid of once he became US President. The promised tax cut is even less likely to occur. Rest assured this date will have a big impact on all safe-haven assets. Gold and other precious metals will likely see a value appreciation. Bitcoin, which is often considered to be a safe asset, may see a similar surge in popularity.
Things are starting to look quite positive for bitcoin as of late. Trading volumes are increasing despite PBOC interventions. The ETF deadline is less than two weeks away. With the US economy on the brink of hitting an inescapable debt ceiling, demand for safe haven assets will flourish. An exciting future lies ahead, even though no one knows for sure what will happen two months from now.


Israel released a statement Friday saying it would withdraw its candidacy for a non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council, leaving only Germany and Belgium as candidates for the two places allocated to the "Western European and Others Group."
"After consulting with our partners, including our good friends, the State of Israel has decided to postpone its candidacy for a seat on the Security Council," the Israeli delegation to the UN wrote.
However, it added that it would work toward "enabling Israel to exercise its right to participate in the activities and decisions of the various UN bodies in the coming years, including in the Security Council, with an emphasis on world development and innovation." The terms start in 2019 and last two years.
In April, the UN Security Council called for an investigation into clashes on Israel's border with Gaza that left 15 Palestinians dead during the "March of Return," a series of mass protests along the border leading up to Nakba Day, May 15. So far, 45 Palestinians have been killed since the protests started six weeks ago.
There are 15 nations on the council, with five countries who sit as "permanent members" along with ten elected members with two-year terms. Five of the non-permanent seats are up for grabs this year, and the UN General Assembly is due to hold an election next month to decide which countries get them.
Meanwhile, the five permanent members are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Danny Danon is Israel's current Ambassador to the United Nations.
Reuters and DPA contributed to the report.


Hey everyone! It's been a few days and yep, I'm still hella pregnant with twins and the exhausted, working mommy of a now 2 year old. Bed rest starts next week and I have to admit my excitement is through the roof!
Doc Update: I am currently 29 weeks and 2 days but my belly is measuring 40 weeks and 2days. Considering I went into labor with my son at 36 weeks and delivered a healthy baby boy, you can imagine the strain my body is feeling as I have absolutely no clue what is like to be 40 weeks with one baby – forget about two.
They are growing healthy and a week ahead of schedule. Baby A (my baby girl) is still head down and ready for the gates to open lol and Baby B (my baby boy) is transverse providing constant head buts into the right side of my rib cage. Nonetheless, my excitement is building and I still cannot believe my body is capable of something so damn amazing!
Docs are already trying scare tactics into getting an epidural or scheduling a c-section. Not that I am against any of these or mommies that choose or do not have a choice to utilize these methods but I love the idea of life taking its course and not really knowing my children's birthdays until I think I've peed my pants and it's time to hit the hospital. If medically necessary I will take the safest route possible but for now, I am going in guns blazing!
My mood: Everything is just about squared away except for you know, the petty downsides of being a military wife. My husband may just miss the birth of the twins because he's away at the moment, family will be here but not for a little bit (and I highly doubt the twins are going to wait for the day they purchase their plane tickets to arrive). I'm slightly losing my mind trying to figure out where my Gabriel will go as we were stationed here before but don't quite live as close to old friends as we used to.
What I am doing to combat stress: I am keeping a positive head though! I am on a path of bringing more positivity into my life so I have been focusing on things that are important to ME, taking time for myself and family, writing and showing gratitude for all things. I have also been unplugging more during the weekdays, eating lighter, and reading more. It has definitely been working! Everything will work out for the greatest and highest good of everyone involved. Trusting in the universe! Thanks for reading.
So happy to hear you all are healthy and you are not letting the scare tactics work 🙂 I'm 29 weeks as well, and eating light is a must. Looking forward to more updates and hope bed rest and delivery goes well for you!


This NRA booklet gives an overview about water resources and their management in the Anglian Region. Water is vital to life. Making the best use of this essential resource, conserving it and balancing the competing needs of abstractors and of the water environment is a prime responsibility of the National Rivers Authority (NRA). The Water Act 1989 imposes on NRA the duty to conserve, redistribute or otherwise augment water resources and to secure their proper use. This complex role includes: continuously measuring rainfall, evaporation, river flows, and groundwater levels at many locations; analysing these data to establish the availability and reliability of water resources; controlling abstractions from rivers and groundwater; predicting future water demands of all kinds; planning, and sometimes building and operating, works to augment water resources to keep pace with the ever-increasing demands.


54 November/December 2006 D R I L L I ND R I L L I N G C O N T R A C T O RW E L L C O N T R O LPetrobras celebrates 10th WellCAP anniversary, 85% decrease in cumulative blowout ratesTEN YEARS AGO, in July 1996, Petrobras became the first operator to achieve accreditation in IADCs Well Control Accreditation (WellCAP) pro-gram. It also became the first WellCAPtraining provider in the region. Sincethen, the companys cumulative blow-out rate per 1,000 wells drilled hasdropped from nearly 3.25 to 0.5, an 85% improvement. In fact, in that time period,Petrobras has experienced only 2 minorblowouts in drilling operations.Were very proud of the achievement, and the results of the WellCAP program in reducing the number of blowouts are evident, said Otto Santos, coordinator of the Well Construction Training Program at Petrobras University. The facility oper-ates under full IADC accreditation for surface stack and surface/subsea instruc-tion for drilling. Courses are provided in Portuguese at 8 facilities in Brazil.Well control training was instrumental in reducing the number of blowouts in Brazil and the rate of blowouts per 1,000 drilled wells, Dr Santos said. He noted that this reduction is also a result of preventive actions taken by Petrobras, such as well safety inspections, well con-trol equipment tests, elaboration of well safety procedures and regulations, and research and development.In celebration , Petrobras marked the 10th anniversary of its WellCAP accredi-tation with a Rio de Janeiro gala in July. About 120 senior drilling manage-ment and engineers were invited. Steve Kropla, IADC director of accreditation and certification, attended to pres-ent a commemorative plaque to Diego Hernandes, Petrobras executive man-ager of human resources.From 1979 to 1992, Petrobras provided well control training to only 706 people, Dr Santos said. In 1993, the company established its own certification system, drastically increasing the number of workers trained per year. From January 1993 to July 1996, 770 Petrobras well control certificates were issued.Then, in July 1996, Petrobras adopted IADCs WellCAP as its well control cer-tification system. In the 10 years follow-ing, it issued a total of 4,026 WellCAP certificates, with more than 1,800 of those at the supervisory level.TRAINING & CERTIFICATION Petrobras Well Control Training and Certification Program considers 3 levels of certification in the drilling category: Supervisory level required for the Petrobras representative on the rig (company man), mud engineer, rig superintendent and toolpusher. The cer-tification is granted when an individual successfully completes a 40-hour course in well control principles, practices and equipment. To successfully complete the course, the professional must score a minimum of 70% on the written exam, attend at least 90% of the total course time and score a minimum of 70% on the simulator test. The certification is provided in 2 options, surface or subsea stack, and is valid for 2 years. Fundamental level required for drill-er and assistant driller. This carries the Using simulators, such as this rig floor simulator installed at the Taquipe Training Cen-ter, to train students in the Well Control Training and Certification Program, Petrobras has issued more than 4,000 WellCAP certificates since 1996 .The above graph shows that as the number of trained/certified personnel increased, the number of blowouts has dramatically decreased. Petrobras cumulative blowout rate per 1,000 wells has dropped from nearly 3.25 to 0.5.55November/December 2006 W E L L C O N T R O LD R I L L I ND R I L L I N G C O N T R A C T O Rsame requirements, validity and options as those of the supervisory level. Introductory level recommended for derrickman and floorhand. To obtain the certification , the candidate must pass a 24-hour course in well control principles, practices and equipment and attend at least 20 hours. The certification is also provided in the 2 stack options and is valid for 5 years. Currently, the system has 7 instructors for well control principles/practices and 4 instructors for well control equipment. Four instructors also provide lectures on well control in workover operations, held nationwide in Brazil using 5 kick simulators: a DRILLSIM 50 portable simulator from drilling systems installed in Maca, 3 DPWS-22UL portable simu-lators for drilling and completion that rotate through the Petrobras E&P busi-ness units, and 1 rig floor drilling simu-lator installed in the Taquipe Training Center .IMPROVEMENTSAccording to Dr Santos, Petrobras University has been working on imple-menting several new projects this year to further improve its training program. First, it plans to achieve WellCAP accreditation in the workover category, which would include no less than 32 hours of instruction.Second, it will be implementing software to allow all Petrobras managers to easily access well control training information such as certificate status and training statistical data.Third, it will put into its well control classes a software to provide students with a kick simulator, a calculator of well control functions and kill sheets. This proprietary software was jointly developed by Petrobras and the State University of Campinas (Unicamp).The school has been cooperating with Petrobras on research in deepwater well control as well, Dr Santos noted. Were doing a lot of research in this area so we can elaborate on well control standards and operational procedures for this type of drilling, he said. Some of the research projects address well control and drilling hydraulics, ultra deepwater kicks and blowouts and gas solubility in synthetic oil muds.All 3 of these well control initiatives are expected to be completed by years end.

Some years ago, my husband and I took our sons to a local amusement park. My boys were big baseball fans at the time, and they wanted to use the automatic pitching machines so they could practice their swing. Unfortunately, my son, John, was hit squarely on his arm with one of the pitches. Immediately, his arm began to swell and discolor ominously. After reporting the injury to the park, we headed for the hospital. On the way there, I began claiming Psalm 34:20 (NIV), which says: "He protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken." When we arrived at the hospital emergency room, we met a mother and her son, who had fallen off his bicycle and injured his arm. Chills ran down my spine when I found out that this boy had not only injured the same arm as my son, but in exactly the same place. The only difference seemed to be that this boy's arm wasn't nearly as swollen or discolored as John's. A short time later, my family and I were shocked when the boy came out of the examination room with a cast on his arm, which was indeed broken. Immediately, fear swept over me, and I confess that my faith wavered for a few moments. My initial thought was, "This boy's arm doesn't look half as bad as John's, and his is badly broken, so how can my son's arm NOT be broken?!" As I claimed Isaiah 11:3 (NIV)—"He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes or decide by what he hears with his ears"--I felt the peace of God quiet my heart and mind. Moments later, doctors examined x-rays of my son's arm and could find no trace of a break--not even the slightest fracture. My family and I still marvel over the miracle of that day, as well as God's faithfulness to His Word.
Prayer: Lord, help me to become more aware of Satan's tactics so that I won't be an easy target for his attacks. Teach me how to walk by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) Show me how to cooperate with You to turn the tables on the devil when he comes against me. Thank You for turning every attack of the enemy into my good!

Today I have the great opportunity to share on a Facebook Group about the essential oil Grapefruit. This FB group is a private group for oilers to receive continual help/support about using essential oils and so much more. This particular group comprises of many up-lines in this fabulous doTerra family. This group is meant to share and learn from many leaders.
One of the leaders created an opportunity for a different oil to be featured for 16 days in March. The 16 oils were already selected. And us leaders were asked to volunteer if so desired to do a FB Live about that oil on a specific day. When I saw Grapefruit was one of the oils….I KNEW I HAD TO PICK IT!
Grapefruit is the essential oil that supports my dysmorphia! I have shared many times here with you all about my healing and understanding of body dysmorphia; how it is multifaceted with triggers and causes. But since one of the aspects has to do with brain chemistry it is something that I must armor myself about each and every day!
I armor myself with affirmations. I armor myself with looking directly in the mirror and saying I LOVE YOU….YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! I armor myself with nourishing food that won't cause hormonal fluctuation. I armor myself with prayer and renouncing ALL negative thoughts that are not from God that try to seep into my brain.
And I armor myself with GRAPEFRUIT essential oil!
Then maybe just maybe Grapefruit Essential Oil is the oil that could provide some support with your prayers for HONORING YOUR BODY!
Have you used Grapefruit Essential Oil? Do you struggle with loving your body?
Sit with this…..pray about this….journal about it! And connect with me by sharing below!

Q: How to calculate the exact delay of a delayed ON/OFF imlemented by low pass filter I am trying to implement a delayed ON/OFF by using low pass filter implemented by a capacitor and a resistor. I can find the R,C, and cut off frequency by using calculators I found in the internet.
The problem is, I dont fully understand how the calculation works.
To be more precise, if I need a delay, say, of $$\tau = 1~\textrm{msec}$$, I can easily find a pair of R and C sizes that will give me the needed delay.
So my question is:

Why do I need to deal with the frequency cuttoff point?

Obviously it is important, because everyone calculate it. But, I dont understand why?
(Does it have something to do with the step function of the "ON" signal?)
Thanks!

A: Your circuit is essentially a low-pass filter, filtering out the rapidly-changing high-frequency components of the step function. In the context of filters, cutoff frequency is more often used, but in the context of timing circuitry like this, it's probably better to think in terms of the time constant, $$τ=RC=\frac{1}{2πf_c}$$
The reason these are related is simple: The cutoff frequency is the frequency at which the circuit is no longer able to change rapidly enough to keep up with the changing input, and the time constant tells you how rapidly the circuit can change.

A: This is a case where you want to analyze in the time domain, not the frequency domain.  In other words, you don't care directly about the rolloff frequency, but rather the time constant.
The time constant of a RC filter is simply R*C.  When R is in Ohms and C in Farads, the the result is in seconds.
If a step is put into such a RC filter, it will exponentially decay towards the new input value.  For example, if both input and output are at 1 and the input goes to 0 at t = 0, then the output is:
    OUT = e-t/RC
This means that every RC seconds, the output gets another factor of e closer to the input.  From this you can compute the time it takes to get to any particular output level.
For example, let's say you have a low pass filter made from 4.7 kΩ in series followed by 2 µF to ground.  A Schmitt trigger with 20% and 80% thresholds looks at this signal and produces a digital output in response.  What is the delay to a change in the input when that input is a digital signal that has been steady for a long time?
The time constant is (4.7 kΩ)(2 µF) = 9.4 ms.  In the equation above, OUT needs to go to 20% for the circuit to trigger.  We therefore know that -t/RC = ln(0.2) = -1.61.  That means it takes 1.61 time constants to get to 20% change remaining (80% settled).  1.61(9.4 ms) = 15.1 ms, which is how long the circuit in this example will delay digital edges after long steady periods.

TEENAGE swimming sensation Liam Knight has qualified for the European Junior Championships after smashing his personal bests... in the OLYMPIC POOL.
The 17-year-old, from Wisbech, is enjoying the performance of his career in front of the television cameras at the British Swimming Championships this week, racing in the same pool as world champions Liam Tancock and Rebecca Adlington.
He beat his personal best twice in the 100m backstroke, clocking 57.11 in the semi-final on Sunday night.
The teenage star won his 200m backstroke heat this morning, in a time of 2 minutes 04.02 seconds - half a second off his personal best. He will compete in the semi-finals tonight as the 11th fastest qualifier.
Knight said: "It's an absolute honour just to compete in the Olympic pool.
"I was pretty nervous on Sunday because it was my first time at the really top level, against the big stars.
"Rebecca Adlington was in the race before me and she looked really chilled out so I just tried to copy her.

"When I walked out it was amazing. It was so big and there were so many people cheering - apparently you can hear my coach on the television screaming me on."
Knight, who competes for the City of Peterborough Swimming Club (COPS), received a letter on Monday telling him he had qualified for the European Junior Championships, set to be held in Antwerp, Belgium, in July.
He said: "The whole of the Peterborough swimming club had county championships on Sunday night but one of the dads brought a television with him and they all ran out to watch me race.
"I was so happy when I heard what they had done - it feels really good."

'I was not ready to flee before arrest': Amy'Leigh de Jager kidnap accused
By Nomahlubi Jordaan - 01 October 2019 - 11:40
Amy'Leigh de Jager, who was found unharmed many hours after being abducted outside her school.
One of three people accused of kidnapping six-year-old Amy'Leigh de Jager has dismissed claims that she was planning to flee before her arrest.
Tharina Human, 27, Laetitia Nel, 40, and Pieter van Zyl, 50, stand accused of snatching Amy'Leigh from her mother's arms at at Laerskool Kollegepark in Vanderbijlpark on September 2.
During their bail hearing on Monday, Nel said in an affidavit read out in the Vanderbijlpark magistrate's court that she was a divorced mother of two.
Her children, aged 14 and 10, have been staying with their father in Pretoria since her incarceration.
"I submit the interests of justice permit my release on bail. I have been informed that I am accused of kidnapping and extortion. I will not evade the trial. There is no likelihood I will interfere with investigations."
Nel said she was aware of social media posts claiming she was planning to run away.
"I'm aware of allegations that my bags were packed and I was ready to flee. I refute these allegations."
A week after six-year-old Amy'Leigh was abducted outside her school in Vanderbijlpark, three suspects made their first appearance at the Vanderbijlpark magistrate's court on September 9 2019. Two women, aged 27 and 40, and a 50-year-old man, all from Vanderbijlpark, are facing charges of kidnapping.
She said she would comply with conditions set by the court, and that her continued incarceration would prejudice her.
Van Zyl, whose affidavit was also read out, said he would plead not guilty to the charges against him.
Van Zyl, who does not have a fixed address as he had sold his house, said he had been offered a place to stay by his wife, who lives with their daughter, and by a friend.
"The fact that the sale of the property was at the same time as my incarceration is pure coincidence."
The court heard that Van Zyl has a previous conviction for theft.
"There are no justifiable reasons why I should be kept in custody," he said.
The state requested a 30-minute adjournment to prepare arguments in the bail application.
The hearing continues.
Fourth person arrested in Amy'Leigh kidnapping case
A fourth - and possibly last - person wanted in connection with the abduction of Amy'Leigh de Jager was arrested on Monday.

On Wednesday; last week, I had my first ever phone interview for a job in Poland as an ESL Intern with and I was terribly nervous about it. I have never had an interview over the phone before. I know that this will be how the schools or companies I apply for will conduct their interviews. However; we had some technical difficulties – using public WiFi is not a good idea (that is a thing to remember) but we ended up using my mobile number. It worked fine but it was a little noisy and I sat in my car. I am so glad that I was unable to be seen. I was interviewed by Andy.
The interview lasted for half an hour and I was surprised by the amount of questions he asked. I had the feeling that I did not do every well when it had finished. There were questions that I did not even think that he would ask about…for example – grammar! I was asked to give examples of Tenses – Past, Present and Future. I was asked to give an example – I could not believe it my mind went blank! It was horrid. This is where I think it all went down hill for me. However; Andy did ask my for the definitions of two words. The words were 'Century' and 'Freedom'. Personally; I think that my answers were pretty lame, but Andy seemed to like them. At the end of the half an hour, Andy said that he would pass my details etc. onto Natalie and she would call me again after the weekend to ask some more questions on Grammar. He would email me a "Pre-Arrival Study Pack" to read beforehand; which when it arrived I read front to back three times and highlighted the key points of Grammar.
It has been many months since I did my Grammar Awareness Course (and I feel that it is time that I refresh myself by doing the course again!) and I am very worried about the questions the Natalie would ask. Within the email; which to be honest I thought Andy was going to send by it was actually from Natalie, stated that I have a good personality for being a TEFL teacher and I would fit in with the rest of the team (paraphrasing a little). My jaw almost hit the floor when I read that part; I could not believe it. I must have been okay with the interview. I was a little relived. However; today was the second half of the interview. Again I feel that it did not go to plan. I was very nervous. I knew that she would ask me to give examples of all the tenses and what the parts of speech were. I focussed on these sections when I was waiting for Natalie to call me.
However; Natalie did say that she would contact my References by phone (I have had to change my Reference recently as one of them is no longer able to be contacted by the information I have for them) or by email (as one of my current References is Deaf) to discuss me and my ability to teach. At this time I became more nervous; as the Grammar questions she had asked I did not fully answer correctly. However; as an Intern you are being taught how to teach in theory so I would have to brush up pretty quickly! [Note to Self: write a post about Grammar].
She did ask me one thing…would I be able to start working with Speed School before the Summer 2015. "All I need to do is to give my current employers one months notice" was all I said; but I know that I would have to discuss the matter with my family.
So, what do you all think? Has she just said 'maybe' to me?


The evaluation of the child with intractable seizures is reviewed. Important in this diagnosis are a review of the history to classify seizures and rule out nonepileptiform conditions; a review of the general physical and neurological examinations to rule out any previously undiagnosed conditions; repeating laboratory studies to make sure no etiologies have been Undiscovered; and the use of multiple therapies, including combinations of antiepileptic drugs, the ketogenic diet, and seizure surgery. Infantile spasms, myoclonic seizures, and complex partial seizures have the most unfavorable prognoses.

Athedius has yielded. You have won the challenge.
There were a lot of things that could have gone differently for both of us, but... My biggest piece of advice to Athedius is to go for double disarm whenever it is possible (try disarming the shield first; if it is there, I'm wielding a one-handed weapon).
My staff crumbled in the middle of the fight. I also forgot to use spirit shield, and I did not even try to use curse, calm, or flamestrike. My other main mistake was not realizing that you have to use "kill" to switch targets while fighting.
Try using castigate next time, and with spirit shield you can keep it rolling for a long time.

War Years
Julio Emilio Quilietti
Julio Emilio Quilietti born December seventeenth 1892 was the first born of Emilio Quilietti and his new wife Valentina Bratesani.
He was born at 11.20 a.m. in that cold December morning at 4 Cranston Street, just off Edinburgh's most famous street, the High Street, or Royal Mile as it is sometimes known. His name was mis-spelt on that birth certificate as the authentic spelling of the name is Giulio, and throughout his life he used both spellings of his name.
A couple of years later with siblings Giulio at the back left
His father Emilio was a Restaurant Keeper at that time only four years after arriving in Scotland.
Julio, after the early deaths of his parents, went on into the Restaurant business himself with shops in the Canongate and also Forth Street in the City. His Canongate shop was part of a newspaper article many years later where a Mr. McIntosh recalls life in the City at that time.
"Edinburgh's first fish and chip shop stood at the corner of what is called Sugar Hoose Pend and the owner was a Mr. Qualletta who would provide his customers with fish and chips, a tin fork and knife, salt and pepper and all for one and half pennies.
Julio's canongate shop
This was the first of the shops to provide the customers with the utensils, salt and pepper, but his father Emilio had claim to the first of the fish and shops in the City.
He also served in the Army, in the First Batallion Norfolk Regiment and served in France.

Julio's war records
He married on the Thirtieth day of April in the year 1913 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Broughton Street, Edinburgh. His wife was Elizabeth Wilson. Their address at this time was 9 Greenside Place, which was the flat where his mother moved into in 1899 after the death of Emilio.

The couple were blessed with many children.

Sante Brattesani Quilietti born on April 19th 1914 was the first of their children, born one year after their marriage at Hamilton Street, Leith. He died one and a half years later of Measles and Broncho Pheumonia. This death had a devastating effect on Julio who never really recovered from the loss of his first child. Sante was named after his step grand- father Sante Brattesani.
Their other children were Teresa, Lula, Robert Emilio, Elizabeth, Valentina and Giulio [Sonny]. This colourful family have provided us with many descendants in Scotland, Holland and Canada.

Giulio's occupations varied throughout his lifetime from Fish Restraunteur to Fruit Merchant and Stableman.
His years in the army left him a troubled soul and led to his health deteriorating throughout the 1930s.
Julio died on 31st August 1936 in Bangor Villiage Hospital, Edinburgh. He was only 43 years old. He is buried in Easter Road Cemetery, Edinburgh. Elizabeth remarried in the year 1940 to Thomas Vallance. The marriage was brief as she died the following year in the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. Elizabeth is buried with her husband Julio in Easter Road Cemetery, Edinburgh.
Their memories live on through the memories of their descendants.

Q: Sublime couldn't find Node.js I have had this very same problem happen with another Sublime Package - something isn't configured correctly on my Mac.
I installed CSSComb with npm install -g csscomb.
I installed the CssComb Sublime package using Sublime's "Package Installer".
I've restarted Sublime.
When I try to use CSSComb in Sublime, the console has the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Running node -v outputs v7.0.0
Running echo $PATH outputs:
/Users/alan/.nvm/versions/node/v7.0.0/bin:/Users/alan/.rbenv/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
Within Sublime I have modified the path to node in the CSSComb configuration file:
"node-path" : "/Users/alan/.nvm/versions/node/v7.0.0/bin",
Still get the same error in Sublime console.  Any help is appreciated.

A: From the README:

If node has been installed with NVM you need to make a symlink to node in /usr/local/bin. Using OS X, the binary path would typically be /Users/[your name]/.nvm/[node version]/bin/node.

Open terminal and run the following:
sudo ln -s /Users/alan/.nvm/versions/node/v7.0.0/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

Then change the CSSComb settings file to:
"node-path": ":/usr/local/bin", // the colon ":" is important!

and see if that works.

It's my Dairy. It's my Thoughts. It's What I Relate To.
So what if I actually fell in love with that guy?
You will not find me around.
definitely not by your side.
This song is not on his Graffiti album but I think it's worth radio tunes or club (I think). I just love the guy..sigh. He's a talented person and in support of talented people. I support him. Yup you know dis!!
I would definately vibe with this.
He curses TWICE!!!! but that's all.


He asked and then demanded that the 200 or so chairs in the middle of the auditorium be rearranged. This required summoning the fire marshal (as the aisle was a matter of code) who insisted that no changes could be made. Brand held his ground. Event planners gathered around him trying to talk him down. Even if it weren't for the fire code, moving the chairs at this point would have to be done by union workers and would take time. The audience was waiting outside baking in the sun, Hoess, Wanderlust's CEO, reminded Brand. But he was insistent. I sensed he was willing to threaten to not go on at all when the organizers finally broke down and agreed to move the chairs.
The people at Wellspring were easy to talk to. They were into eye contact, and open about how what Brand had said was true: Beneath the good vibes and aerial-yoga acrobatics, many attendees at this conference told me they were sober or currently dealing with addiction. The ultra-runner Engle was not alone in the conscious replacement of substances with wellness. But addicted or not, many of the people I met had turned to wellness to explicitly fill some space previously occupied by a substance or behavior or person, so as not to relapse into self-destructive habits.
Type II diabetes is more common than Type I diabetes in India. Type II diabetes usually happens to people who are above the age of 40. This type of diabetes is caused due to insulin resistance. In this case, the pancreas produces insulin but the body is not able to respond to it properly. There can be many reasons behind type II diabetes. Some of the reasons can be being overweight, high blood pressure, having a poor diet, taking too much stress, hormone imbalance, certain medications and leading a sedentary lifestyle. Though type II diabetes can be reversed.
With research funding, people managing this challenging disease have received tools that help them to live better lives. Every advancement or milestone has elevated our understanding of Type 1, achieved improved management and has gotten us one-step closer to an actual cure. That's why donating to diabetes research is so important — it's the only way we'll eliminate this disease.
Herbs and oils have long been used to relieve pain. Though there haven't been many scientific studies of their use, some small studies have shown significant benefit from rubbing on certain essential oils (concentrated plant extracts), including lavender, peppermint, cinnamon, rose, clove, rosemary, ginger, and others. It was not clear whether it was the oils or the touch that made the difference.

#137 – Dance, Flow State, and Sex – Ode Dixon
by Jessa | Aug 11, 2020 | podcast
Listen to "137: Dance, Flow State, and Sex – Ode Dixon" on Spreaker.
Flow State and Dance
3 years ago Ode discovered Flow – The Psychology of Optimal Performance and picked up dancing again after so many years of not dancing regularly. This reversed her stressed-induced high blood pressure diagnosis within eleven months. Now, she uses dance as a mechanism to help her clients alleviate stress-related anxiety that hinders performance, and to spark creative insight to problem-solving in various work, learning and life environments.
Flow State
Ode joins me on this episode and discusses using dance to access a flow-state. Her first experience with flow state was through dance. According to Ode, research shows that flow improves anything you apply it to.
While flow may seem a spiritual experience, Ode explains that flow is exhibited by highly successful people. For many of us, we would have heard it referred to as "peak performance."
As a testament to the success of flow state, Ode shares that it transformed her sex life with her partner. She explains that this is caused when neurochemicals are triggered when we move our bodies. The common chemicals released in the flow state are commonly called DOSE: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins.
Ode explains that the process involves the body going into a calmer state and then releasing "happy chemicals" so the activity you are doing is enjoyable. She reveals that the flow state can happen during specific activities. These are usually activities that require actively using your brain and using your senses to focus on the present. Dance is one such example.
"Flow is intrinsically motivating. We learn that when we perform a certain action, it should be enjoyable and come naturally without being calculated."
Specialist in deep embodiment, Afrojuju Dancer, peak performance researcher, and former bedside nurse, Ode has been using the tight link between beliefs and mind/body connection since she toured as a praise dancer with a prolific evangelical group partaking in missions across rural regions of West Africa for 10+ years.
She has been dancing since the age of 5, showcasing performances along the streets of her village with her dance groups. She's vastly knowledgeable in various African dance styles, rhythms, movements and beats. She understands the neuroscience that underpins body movements and enhanced performance.
Ode holds 2 bachelor's degrees – Management and Registered Nursing, an Associate degree in Social Works and a long-term mentorship under some of the world's top Flow Scientists and researchers.
She lives in Naples, Florida with her husband and 3 boys, avid anglers and boaters who love discovering the 1,000 islands that surround the SouthWest Florida Keys one island at a time.

#133 – Sexual Personality Types – Vanessa Marin
by Jessa | Jul 14, 2020 | podcast
Listen to "133: Sexual Personality Types – Vanessa Marin" on Spreaker.
Sexual Personality Types
Vanessa shares that she's always working to make people's sex lives better, but the idea of forming a personality test for sex began from hearing her clients talk about sex in very different ways, inspiring her to take notes and investigate what people truly desire and require in their sex lives. These notes developed into a system that identifies 11 different personality types based upon what people need, want, and hope to get out of sex.
The Decompressor
Vanessa's survey describes decompressors as people for whom sex is about stress relief, blowing off steam, and getting to that sense of relaxation that ensues once sex is over. She clarifies that people who use sex for this reason often talk about the joyful, restful afterglow than about sex or anything that precedes sex because reaching that state is their real goal.
Explorers are all about novelty in sex. They like trying new things and experimenting. She explains that this type doesn't always enjoy everything they try sexually, but they still appreciate the novelty and variety of their experiments.
Fair Trader
For the fair trader, sex is all about reciprocity. They want a balance between giving and receiving in bed.
She explains that the giver views sex as a gift that they give to their partner, and they enjoy giving much more than they enjoy receiving. They like focusing on their partner and their pleasure instead of their own.
Vanessa identifies guardians by their need to have safety and security around sex. She says they care very much about boundaries and enthusiastic consent in sex. She reveals that for some people, this emphasis on safety and consent is the result of previously enduring sexual abuse, but she admits that others simply like for sex to be safe and enthusiastically enjoyed.
The Passion Pursuer
This type loves pursuing all-encompassing, intense, passionate, and even animalistic sex. She says this type of lover is very in tune with the energy between them and their partners during sex, and she tells us they want to feel like time stands still, leaving only themselves and their partner in the world.
The Pleasure Seeker
For pleasure seekers, Vanessa describes sex as being all about feeling good. They care about the simple pleasure of enjoying their bodies interacting with someone else's.
The Prioritizer
For this type, Vanessa explains sex must feel like a priority in the relationship. She explains that they need to feel desired by their partners, and to believe that their partners are not making excuses about being tired or too busy for sex. She notes that they value consistent, frequent sex and require partners who will work to keep sex a regular activity.
The Romantic
For romantics, it's all about the connection they feel to their partner during sex. She continues to say it isn't really about the physical act or the hedonistic pleasure for them, but the emotional bonding and intimacy that sex engenders.
The Spiritualist
Sex is about spirituality and connecting to a higher energy or purpose for spiritualists, Vanessa explains that for them sex is a transcendent experience.
The Thrill-Seeker
Thrill-seekers most enjoy sex that's forbidden or taboo. They enjoy kink, power plays, dominance and submission. She says that if there's a twinge of this is naughty or we shouldn't be doing this, that thought only intensifies the sexual thrill-seeker's enjoyment
Sexual Personalities in Action
Vanessa has heard all of these motivations for sexual activity in her practice, but she emphasizes that people will typically combine two to three personality types in their love lives. She describes the purpose of the quiz as a conversation starter that helps people understand their sexuality and learn how to discuss sexuality with their partners more clearly.
The decompressor, explorer, giver, and passion pursuer are what Vanessa sees most often, but she emphasizes that all of the personality types are very common.
An Online Quiz Can Help You Discern Your Type
Vanessa informs us that there is no need to read and reread descriptions to find out the sexual personality types of you and your partner. Her team is finishing up a quiz that can be found at vmtherapy.com to take out the guesswork.
She insists that her personality type quiz is meant to be lighthearted, but it can lead to genuine discussions and discoveries that can hopefully improve people's sex lives.
Tricky Pairings
Vanessa affirms that it's common for people in a loving relationship to have different sexual personality types, but she believes that all of them can work together, even if some pairings require more communication before sex to ensure mutual satisfaction.
She discusses that guardian types and the thrill-seeker can be a tricky combination to navigate because one wants regimented and well-guarded environments while the thrill-seeker aims to bring in more, new, different, and potentially dangerous activities. However, Vanessa mentions that people who are into BDSM are usually proponents of safety and enthusiastic consent. Under those or similar circumstances, she assures us that the guardian and the thrill-seeker can be a fantastic combination.
She also mentions that the pleasure seeker can be at odds with the spiritualist. She explains that the spiritualist wants to create a transcendent experience and basically leave their body behind, while pleasure-seekers are focused on enjoying their bodily pleasures of orgasm and sensual, very physical, touch. However, she insists that this pairing can work out by having conversations focused on finding ways for both of them to have their needs met.
Talking About Sex Types
One way that Vanessa suggests people can compromise about their sexual desire is to take turns while emphasizing their partner's type during sex one day, and their own type another day. She also suggests that it could be fun to run through all the personality types and play with every manner of sex.
She mentions that taking the sex quiz and talking about it to your partner can be a fun and playful method of entering into a discussion that reveals each partner's true desires and allows those desires to manifest in bed.
Vanessa Marin earned bachelor's degrees in Human Sexuality and Sociology from Brown University before attaining a master's degree in counselling psychology. Her writing has been featured over 1,000 times in periodicals as prestigious as The New York Times; Allure; Lifehacker; O, The Oprah Magazine; Harper's Bazaar; Refinery29; and Real Simple.
With her sister Jennifer and her husband Xander, she specializes in online courses like The Passion Project: A Couples' Blueprint to Rediscovering Desire and Reigniting the Spark and Finishing School: Learn How to Orgasm.

#130 – Sex and Orthodox Judaism – Dr. Shy Krug
by Jessa | Jun 23, 2020 | podcast
Sex and Orthodox Judaism
Diversity in Jewish Beliefs and Practices
Dr. Shy describes Jewish law as a corpus of Jewish religious requirements. He explains that every aspect of life has regulations to help Jews proceed through life. He discloses that there are disputes within the Jewish community about who can interpret Jewish law, leading to different sects of Judaism being formed, each with their own practices. Dr. Krug reminds us that he can only share his own interpretation and some alternate views he's encountered personally and professionally.
Listen to "130: Sex and Orthodox Judaism – Dr. Shy Krug" on Spreaker.
The Spirituality of Sex in Judaism
The doctor describes Judaism as a sex-positive religion that appreciates the human body and human experiences. He emphasizes that Judaism encourages its adherents to elevate the mundane and the physical to the holy through thoughtfulness, intentionality, and restriction. He says Judaism contains many laws and restrictions on sex that are meant to transform a potentially carnal act into a holy union that increases both people's connection to each other and to God. He tells us that in the Jewish view, conceiving a child is an act involving three people: the man, the woman, and God.
He counters this interpretation of Jewish law by describing smaller, rarer sects that see sex as a necessary evil that should be experienced infrequently. He states that many people with this belief see sex as a necessary transaction that occurs within marriage.
The Sexual Power of Jewish Women
Dr. Krug mentions there is a Jewish law that requires men to satisfy their wives sexually. He explains that a man cannot demand sex from his wife, but a wife can demand sex from her husband. He clarifies that a man can tell his wife that he'd like to have sex, but compelling her to have sex isn't licit. This imbalance of power can create tension when the man wants to have more sex than his wife, but he tells us Orthodox couples often mitigate this disparity by refocusing on sex as a holy and intentional act, rather than a purely physical drive. He implies that the absence of desired sex allows men to reinforce the intimacy and holiness of sex through the delayed gratification abstinence ensures.
Family Purity Laws
Dr. Krug describes family purity laws that require men and women to separate when the woman is menstruating. During menstruation and for seven days following her period, he says that Jewish men and women cannot interact sexually. Dr. Shy describes several protective barriers many employ to fulfill this law, like sleeping in separate beds, not sharing food from the same plate, not passing things to each other, and not feeling each other's weight. When two people sit on the same couch cushion, he explains that they feel each other's weight when they move; he informs us that Orthodox Jews avoid doing this during this part of a woman's cycle to avoid the desire to touch each other that such closeness might incite. While the Bible does not give the reason behind these restrictions, he informs us that Talmudic sources extrapolate that physical distance encourages couples to focus on the verbal and emotional elements of their marriage and maintain the excitement of sex.
Dr. Shy asserts that premarital sex is prohibited in Judaism. He informs us that some Jews will avoid all physical contact with potential mates and many Jews avoid being alone with each other altogether. He informs us that in the most right-wing forms of Judaism, girls and boys are kept apart and schooled separately, allowing them to reserve all sexual education until their children are old enough to marry. Some Jews, he tells us, do have premarital sex and cohabitate with partners before marriage, but those practices are not widely accepted in Orthodox communities.
About Masturbation
While he admits that some Jews do masturbate or utilize pornography, he points out the clear Biblical prohibition of masturbation, which he defines as the spilling of seed to avoid pregnancy. By contrast, he explains that because women do not spill their seed, they are permitted to masturbate, but they are advised to restrict the frequency of their masturbation and focus on maintaining their marriage's intimacy first and foremost.
Sex Ed in Jewish Orthodoxy
Sects vary in their approaches, but he describes the modern Orthodox sect teaches about sexual health, puberty, relationships, and communication in middle school. By high school, he informs us that students are educated about masturbation, pornography, and healthy sex practices. He says that modern Judaism acknowledges that people are sexual beings and that it's important to acknowledge and understand human sexuality. He explains that marriage classes also inform the youths of the laws surrounding marital relations, family purity, and the ritual baths women must take monthly. He says that developing intimacy, foreplay, and discussing the origins of sex outside of the bedroom are also covered in these classes, though he tells us more right-wing sects will clothe the education in more modest language.
Condoned and Prohibited Sex Acts
While Dr. Shy clarifies that some rabbis condone sex acts like oral sex and manual stimulation as long as ejaculation always occurs inside the spouse's vagina. He reveals that teachings vary with regard to women receiving oral sex, with some saying men can perform oral sex on their wives if it's dark or he doesn't look at her vagina. Dr. Krug admits that Orthodox Jews are often allowed to utilize sex toys and engage in manual stimulation. He emphasizes that the law that women need to be fulfilled during sex is so important that many rabbis will bend rules if it helps women achieve orgasms.
Laws about Homosexuality
Dr. Krug conveys general agreement that homosexual sex between men is prohibited, but even with that blanket prohibition, some homosexual sex acts are seen as more illicit than others. He explains that some rabbis will guide homosexual men towards performing sex acts that are less harmful, because continuing practising Judaism is considered more important than practising every law successfully. Dr. Krug remarks that Judaism understands that people do not choose their sexuality, and rabbis do not turn people away for being gay.
What About Sexual Dysfunction?
Dr. Shy tells us that some Jews might go to their rabbi first when they struggle with some form of sexual dysfunction, while members of more liberal sects may consult their medical team first. When rabbis are faced with a man experiencing problems like premature ejaculation, he says they will understand it as a physical problem that can prevent procreation and as an issue that can forestall marital intimacy and spiritual health. As such, Dr. Krug remarks that many rabbis will relax the normal laws against things like masturbation for as long as the prohibited act is part of the man's medical treatment.
Gentle Advice for Gentiles
Dr. Krug suggests that the intentionality and mindfulness surrounding sex can help gentiles improve their relationships. He gives the example of sensual massage, saying that being fully present while touching and being touched improves the act. In general, he believes that being motivated by the higher goals of emotional intimacy and the sensual act of truly being present for your partner can enhance sexual and emotional intimacy.
Dr. Shy Krug holds a PhD in clinical psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a B.A. in psychology with a minor in biology from Yeshiva University. At the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, NY, Dr. Krug parlayed his pre-doctoral internship into a two-year post-doctoral fellowship assessing and treating post-traumatic stress disorder and Gulf War Multisymptom Illness. Subsequently gaining a certificate in Sex Therapy from The Buehler Institute, certified training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, he is now a staff psychologist in the general outpatient department and sexual health clinic at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, where he supervises and teaches the internship program. Dr. Krug also has a private practice in the Upper West Side of Manhattan where he treats sexual dysfunction, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and trauma.

#129 – Sex during quarantine – Dr. Diana Wiley
by Jessa | Jun 16, 2020 | podcast, Published Authors
Sex During Quarantine
Jessa and Diana feel compelled to note that this episode of the Better Sex Podcast was recorded on June 1, 2020. Diana suggests that quarantine's stress of forced togetherness is hard for many couples. But in addition to that, she talks about how the recent murder of a black man by police has provoked riots in cities across the country, a political firestorm that only adds to the stress people are feeling during the quarantine.
Listen to "129: Sex During Quarantine – Dr. Diana Wiley" on Spreaker.
The Rebirth of Ourselves and our Lovers
Referring to the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dr. Diana saw the free time with our families as an opportunity to grant our relationships a second birth. She tells us that many couples haven't had sex in a long time, and many have never been especially intimate with their partners. She recognizes both states as challenges that must be overcome to rekindle love and sex in relationships. That's the reason she gives for publishing her book—Love in the Time of Corona: Advice from a Sex Therapist for Couples in Quarantine—and the relationship-building tools that fill its pages.
Dr. Diana educates us about the many benefits of sex and intimacy, telling us that having sex or touching your partner is scientifically shown to reduce stress. In her practice, she tells us she often recommends massage to her clients as a method to reconnect because massage lowers cortisol and adrenaline levels when certain pressure points are stimulated on the body. She also teaches that touch, especially sex and orgasms, relieves stress by releasing oxytocin, a neurochemical which increases bonding, is a natural sedative, and increases empathy.
Even masturbation reduces stress and has positive effects on health, Dr. Diana assures us. More surprisingly, Diana discusses that there are nonsexual self-touch exercises that also reduce stress and improve health. Unfortunately, she admits that unlike sex with someone else, the body does not release oxytocin during masturbation.
When it comes to how sex impacts the rest of people's lives, Diana and her husband like to say, "It's fun, it's free, and it's the fountain of youth," about sex because having sex dramatically increases the feeling of vitality regardless of biological age.
Salvaging and Reigniting Broken Relationships
Dr. Diana claims to have written her book primarily to enrich people whose relationships are already doing well but want to take their intimacy to the next level. However, she acknowledges that some people are quarantined with unsuitable or violent partners, while others are cohabiting with a partner that they intended to break up with before the quarantine put the brakes on that process. For couples who were planning to break up, Dr. Wiley suggests they come together and have a conversation about whether their relationship is worth salvaging.
For people who want to salvage or restore their relationship, she says the process of reigniting relationships begins with a conversation about what each person wants from the relationship. To help couples reconnect physically, she describes writing about lots of nonsexual touch exercises. After they become comfortable touching, Diana explains that they can set achievable goals like becoming great at kissing or having a make-out session. She says these actions and discussions can help reveal hidden desires and build the confidence needed to enter the marital bed and take time with sex. Dr. Diana claims that the change in pace should increase the quality of their sex life. She reminds us that women tend to need twenty minutes of foreplay, oral sex, and penetration to reach orgasm and receive all the benefits of sex. She offers tools to accomplish this in her book.
Touching with Your Clothes On
In her book, Diana encourages couples to assess the intimacy of their relationship when they're not having sex. She argues that couples probably don't feel closer when they're just watching TV together, which is why she supports intentionality about touch and connecting. She knows that not all families physically demonstrate affection, but believes that touching and hugs are irreplaceable glue for relationships. In her book, she writes that a seven-second kiss or a fifteen-second hug is enough to release oxytocin and create meaningful bonding on a daily basis.
The Sex Menu
One of the tools in Dr. Diana's book is what she calls a sex menu. She describes the menu as a chart listing sexual activities and allowing each person to select a yes, no, or maybe reaction to indicate their desire for those acts. She says that many people get to anal sex and say no or maybe, but Dr. Diana reminds us that anal play doesn't have to involve a penis in an anus. She describes rimming, which can be accomplished by moving a clean, wet finger around the anus, which stimulates nerve endings to create a very pleasurable experience.
In the second chapter of her book, Diana instructs couples to plan their date night at home. Under normal circumstances, she told people to have a date night one time every week, but with the forced closeness of the coronavirus quarantine, she believes having a date night twice per week is helpful. She says some of her patients believe that scheduling date nights would kill spontaneity, but Dr. Wiley argues that spontaneous sex is a Hollywood myth, and people need to put sex on the calendar. By scheduling sex, Diana claims that the partner with a lower sex drive can feel relieved because they know they won't have to have sex until the marked day, which allows her to prepare herself for sex by reading romance novels, taking long baths, masturbating, or doing anything else that can increase her sexual enthusiasm. When that time comes, Dr. Diana believes that giving massages is a great way to start any sex session, because it allows both parties to be relaxed.
Dr. Wiley recommends that both partners discuss what they want from the evening. She claims that being sensual, considering all of our senses, is particularly helpful. She does admit there are limits to her book and her methods when she explains that resolving mental health issues and relationship tensions are necessary before increasing touch, as sex and romance are only truly effective for people who like each other.
Seven Secrets for Sensational Sex
Take care of yourself first. If you're uncomfortable during sex, she advises telling your partner and making the sex better by avoiding discomfort.
Maintain and respect boundaries. She asserts the value of boundaries, saying it's important to discuss what you do and don't like, and to avoid pressuring each other into performing undesired sex acts.
Communicate openly and directly. Dr. Diana reminds us that no communication is clearer than spoken words.
Don't take anything personally. The doctor informs us that sometimes people aren't in the mood for sex or specific sex acts. She reminds us that there are any number of reasons this could happen, and it's unwise to presume it has anything to do with you.
Focus on your partner's pleasure. Diana's husband expresses this as, "Worship your woman, and the goddess will reward you." Though the phrase is gendered, Diana assures us the sentiment applies to men and women alike.
Don't take each other for granted. Dr Wiley says that expressing praise for your partner and growing in gratitude every day is a great method to cultivate life satisfaction and marital bliss.
Let go. Diana mentions that many women are very inhibited, which limits their ability to explore new things and enjoy sex. In her practice, as marijuana is legal in her state, she often recommends the substance as a method of pushing through inhibitions and having fun. She says that alcohol can serve a similar purpose, but it's more harmful and not as useful.
Diana Wiley, Ph.D., is a licensed marriage and family therapist, a board-certified sex therapist, and a gerontologist. With over thirty years of experience helping clients navigate problems in their sex and love lives, she currently works with clients in her office in Seattle, WA, and via online telehealth sessions. With her radio show on Progressive Radio Network, "Love, Lust, and Laughter" she's been reaching additional listeners and helping more people for a decade. She's published two studies in medical journals on aging and sexuality and was appointed as a Clinton Presidential Delegate to the 1995 White House Conference on Aging. Dr. Wiley is a skilled speaker and has given lectures and presentations on Aging and Sexuality in Amsterdam, Paris, Spain, Japan, India, and at many US conferences. Recently she became the author of a book to help people stuck in quarantine called Love in the Time of Corona: Advice from a Sex Therapist for Couples in Quarantine.

#50: Dr. Beverly Whipple – Female Orgasm, The G Spot, and Ejaculation
by James | Dec 8, 2018 | podcast, Published Authors, Sexual Dysfunction
How Dr. Beverly Whipple Started Studying Sex
Dr. Whipple got her start while she was teaching nursing students. A sexual topic was broached that she didn't have concrete answers for, and so she gave the inquisitive student a rain check. She then realized sex classes needed to be taught and that she wanted to be the one to do it. After being forbidden to teach the apparently taboo discipline, she took her services to institutions which allowed it. And that's how she got her start. From there she went into particular research projects and she has been going strong for 40+ years. For more, from the charming woman herself, listen in.
