Q: What is the best way to write data to disk to read from it? Yesterday I did many experiments with data writing to file and then read them from it. I experienced many difficulties with this simple task.
At first I thought, that I can simply save data to a file as is. For example - save list to file.txt and then read it back to some variable as list.
I found solution on StackOverflow and I think it is a simplest way to read a list from file.txt
with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
    list_variable = ast.literal_eval(f.read())

So, as a newbie in programming, I would like to know from much more experienced coders - what is the best way to save data to disk for future import?
I personally using stings, dictionaries, lists and tuples. Is there accurate and simple way to work with? (txt, csv, json ... etc.)?

A: The basic idea of writing / reading from / to files is that you need to serialize your data (see Wikipedia).
In order to retrieve your data and restore it as a data structure of your choice (i.e. tuples, lists or w/e) you need a way to *de-*serialize the data you read. That can be achieved by parsing the input stream of data.
As a solution to your matter, you can use the json package by importing it and use json.dumps(...) and json.loads(...) to respectively write and read JSON formatted data.

As health care costs continue to rise, more and more people are looking for ways to prevent major illness and take more control over their own well-being. Treatment with acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can be used to treat pain, digestive problems, menstrual problems, headaches, emotional issues, insomnia, menopausal symptoms and more. Such treatment can also complement traditional therapies and help manage more serious concerns such a diabetes, hypertension and cancer. However, even acupuncture has been too expensive for many of us, since it is only sometimes covered by health insurance. Community Clinics have provided one answer to this and are beginning to provide many people with affordable health maintenance options.
Indeed, Chinese physicians are now routinely trained in both traditional and Western medical practices. Acupuncture is used during many surgeries as an anesthetic. Herbal formulas (cooked in the basement pharmacy) are prescribed in hospitals along with Western pharmaceuticals. Acupuncture has again become an important part of the Chinese medical system, which is truly one of the most integrated in the world.
So isn't it ironic that a medicine revived in China to treat the masses has become in this country an elite treatment associated with spas and health clubs? At an average of $60-100 per session, it is difficult for working class and many middle class folks to be able to afford enough treatments to address their problems adequately. The good news is that more and more insurance companies are recognizing the cost-effectiveness of acupuncture performed by licensed acupuncturists. The bad news is that more and more people are having insurance benefits cut or simply doing without insurance altogether.
In response to all of this, Stillpoint Acupuncture has joined with a national movement seeking to create ways for acupuncture to become more accessible to more people. For the past seven years, Stillpoint Acupuncture in Greensboro has been providing sliding scale treatments for patients seeking help with everything from allergies to back pain. In October, 2010 we finally opened a community clinic in Siler City as well, which is available every Wednesday afternoon.
When you visit the community clinic, you will see that we treat 5-6 people at a time. Most people sit in reclining chairs, and there are some tables available for those who need them. There is soft music playing and the lights are dimmed. While the setting is decidedly less private than most acupuncture offices, there is a certain atmosphere that is created when people come together for the purpose of improved well-being. People have commented, "I feel better just being here.
This style of treatment more closely resembles how acupuncture is administered in China, with patients coming for treatment 3-5 times per week and receiving treatments in a large room along with several other patients. Because patients remain clothed in this setting, we rely on points in the arms, legs, ears and head. However, these points can be used to treat all kinds of conditions, including back pain, hot flashes and digestive problems.

The range now includes a 1.5L TSI engine developing 150bhp, and the 2.0L TSI engine's output has increased from 180bhp to 190bhp. The new petrol drivetrains feature particulate filters to reduce particulate emissions. This will be available for all equipment versions of the Kodiaq in the future.

Customers Panic As RBI...
Customers Panic As RBI Puts Curbs On PMC Bank: All You Need To Know
The RBI's restrictions on PMC Bank comes as a result of the bank reporting irregularities. Cash withdrawal are limited to ₹1,000, in addition to curbs on deposits and granting of loans.
MKudratiBy - Mohammed Kudrati
| 25 Sep 2019 5:55 AM GMT
The Reserve Bank Of India (RBI) on Tuesday restricted the Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative Bank (PMC Bank) from making fresh investments, accepting deposits, and sanctioning or renewing new loans among other sanctions without its approval.
Further, the RBI has also prohibited depositors from withdrawing more than ₹1,000 of their total deposits. This has caused account holders of the bank of the bank to panic, with reported protests outside the bank's central office in Bhandup (Mumbai), and depositors wanting to withdraw cash from the bank being turned away.
BOOM tells you all you need to know about these directives.
What restrictions has the RBI imposed on PMC Bank?
The RBI has but the bank under "Directions", under the sections 35(A) and section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. While the former authorises the RBI to put restrictions on banks and regulate their management in public interest or in the interest of the health of the bank, section 56 deals with co-operative societies.
The RBI has imposed the following restrictions on the bank:
Depositors can only withdraw a sum up to ₹1,000 from every savings account or current account.
Without the written approval of the RBI, PMC Bank cannot grant or renew loans.
The bank also cannot accept fresh deposits from its customers, make payments towards discharging its liabilities, or sell or dispose of assets
These directions have been put in place for six months starting September 23, 2019.
The RBI's official communication can be read here.
Why have the restrictions been imposed?
The RBI's communication makes no mention of the reasons why the restrictions have been imposed. The managing director of the bank - Joy Thomas - has said that it is due to irregularities disclosed by the bank to the RBI.
While the specifics of the irregularities was not stated by the press release of the RBI or through PMC Bank, Livemint said that the irregularities were due to under-reporting of the bank's non-performing assets. It says that the actual non-performing assets of the bank are much higher than the reported gross figure of 3.76%. The restrictions by the RBI have been put in place to prevent a run on the bank.
The bank gave the following intimation to its customers, an excerpt of which is:
"I, Mr. Joy Thomas, M.D., regret to inform you that your PMC Bank has been put under regulatory restriction under Section 35A of B.R. Act by RBI for a period of 6 months due to irregularities disclosed to RBI. As the M.D. of the Bank, I take the responsibility and assure all the depositors that these irregularities will be rectified before the expiry of 6 months. All efforts are made to remove the restrictions by rectifying the irregularities."
Thomas did not answer calls by BOOM when we attempted to contact him for more details.
Does this mean that PMC Bank can no longer operate as a bank?
The RBI has categorically stated that the these directions are not to be construed as a cancellation of PMC Bank's banking license. PMC Bank will continue to operate with restrictions.
The RBI has also said that it may consider to modify these restrictions based on the circumstances.
What will be the effect of these restrictions?
The restrictions will affect total deposits worth almost ₹11,617 crores and operations across 137 branches, which the bank has reported in its annual report for 2018 - 2019.
T. Gogada, a PMC Bank customer, whose family has deposits above ₹7 lakhs with the bank said:
The restrictions have made it harder for us to finance an upcoming house purchase. During the day, the police intervened outside the bank's branch at Vikhroli East (Mumbai). The bank staff also could not assure funds towards emergency expenses such as medical expenses or planned weddings upon repeated questioning by customers present
Depositors took to social media to express their frustration on not being able to access their life savings.
Have such restrictions been imposed on banks before?
The imposition of such restrictions are not uncommon.
This year, the RBI has placed restrictions under the same provisions on Osmanabad based-Vasantdada Nagari Shahakari Bank, Nashik-based Vithalrao Vikhe Patil Co-operative Bank and Karad Janta Sahakari Bank.
In May, similar restrictions on Goa-based Madgaum Urban Co-operative Bank saw withdrawal limits on account holders to the tune of only ₹5,000.
On September 11 this year, the RBI also withdrew similar restrictions on Lucknow-based Indian Mercantile Co-operative Bank, which were imposed in June 2014. This can be read here.

Do you ever have a weekend that makes you wish you were at work? Last weekend was one of those weekends. There was expensive car trouble, running my kids around, and an emotional visit with my parents.
On Monday morning, I woke up earlier than usual, ready to put the weekend behind me. The week was a blank slate and I was going to crush it.
Instead of jumping out of bed, I grabbed my phone and made a huge mistake… I went on Facebook.
I scrolled through the Monday morning quotes and the events of my friends weekends, and all of a sudden, my scrolling came to a screeching halt. My brother in law had posted that he and my sister were heading to Italy in June.
I literally burst into tears. The green-eyed monster took over my whole body and could not see anything that was good in my life. I started to drown in jealousy and could not breathe. Then I felt ashamed that I could not be happy for my sister and her family.
Honestly, I do not think of myself as a jealous person. I thought the feeling was going to pass. However, it did not pass and I needed a life preserver to save me from drowning.
Personally, jealousy is an emotion that invokes negativity. When I hear that word, it sparks a feeling of insecurity and selfishness. Thank goodness, it occurs occasionally. Jealousy has the power to take the joy out of any accomplishment you may have. It can cause tension between the best of friends and the closest of families.
Envy, according to Alain de Botton comes from the fact we can relate to someone who has something we desire. They could be in the same age group, socio economic group, and occupation. When there is someone who that you look up to but are not in the same "league," you might up to look to them but do not experience knife like pangs of jealousy.
In my case, my sister and I are similar. We are two and a half years apart, we are both married moms, and are in the same socio economic range. However, when I look at Gwyneth Paltrow, yes, I would love to have my own lifestyle blog like goop. In reality, I know I do not have the connections and assets to take my website to the level of goop, but I do not seethe with jealousy when I come across Ms. Paltrow's name.
I always tell my children, there will always be someone with more than us; more money, a bigger house, a nicer car, etc. However, there will always be many people with much less, than we have.
The best way to combat envy is practicing a ritual of Gratitude. Like most people, I am very good at practicing gratitude when things are going well.
However, when my depression is in high gear, am overwhelmed, and sad is when I have to dig deep. As a result of powering through the act of gratitude my perception changes and feel lighter.
This morning for example; I wrote down five things I was thankful for. The result? I smiled more, I found joy in my students, and my friend and I started planning a trip to Spain in 2020.
Do you practice gratitude on a daily basis? How does this practice help you?

Throughout our nearly two year search for the best burger in NYC, we've come across a variety of ingenious reinterpretations of the classic American hamburger. Countless combinations of beef blends have passed through our palates, along with a vast plethora of toppings and buns. Good or bad, each choice continues to tweak our carnivorous opinions and strikes a chord with our taste buds. We undoubtedly can't complain that we've had the opportunity to try so many burgers, the experiences alone are worth their weight in gold, err, beef. Still, while each new dining adventure brings us to a fresh variant on burger composition, our next competitor, Whitmans, pays homage to both a Midwestern staple and a Southern tradition. Offering up a six ounce "Juicy Lucy," Whitman's seeks to capture the Minneapolis style popularized by Matt's Bar and 5-8 Club, while also incorporating the pimento cheeseburger made so famous in the south. It's a unique style, one we've yet to encounter along our burger blazing trail, and we were awfully anxious to make our way to East 9th Street for a taste.
Our Expectations: "Our Juicy Lucy" burger. A six ounce short rib blend griddle cooked, stuffed with pimento cheese and topped with caramelized onions, Bibb lettuce, tomato, spicy pickles and homemade special sauce, all placed on a Big Marty's potato roll. One of Whitmans owners, James, informed us that he uses three different meat purveyors to source their beef. Their variation of the Juicy Lucy uses two 3 ounces patties formed together to encompass the also homemade pimento cheese. Typically a blend of shredded cheddar, pimentos, mayo and various spices, we had yet to taste pimento in our burger eating spectrum.
Meat: Based on our outing, a quick word of caution regarding the burger: you have to take the initial bite carefully when devouring the Juicy Lucy. The pimento cheese oozes out like molten lava, but was just hot enough to handle. Still, while that first bite is tricky, we quickly realized the superior taste and texture of the meat at Whitmans. With short rib comes great fat and with great fat comes delectable taste. The beef was well balanced with seasoning and the griddle provided a substantial char on the outer crust of the burger, in a good way. That char gave us somewhat of an actual crunch, with a thin casing created, and we loved it. Conversely, despite a juicy patty, our burgers came out a bit overdone – likely correlated to the center being filled with cheese which might create a quicker cook than a non-stuffed burger. It's apparent that Whitmans might not be able to execute as we'd hope in regard to temperature as the cheese can be a hindrance.
Toppings: Pimento was new to us, but we quickly learned to love it. A creamy blend with nice kick, it wasn't the overpowering cheese we thought it might be. Slightly gooey and also somewhat messy (it falls out of the burger while eating), it was a nice change of pace to the typically American or cheddar coated cheeseburgers we've consumed. The caramelized onions were a little too flimsy but did provide a pleasant smokiness, while the spicy pickles were a crunchy addition but weren't so spicy or even necessary. Though, they did create a decent balance of textures. Finally, the special sauce listed didn't do much to enhance the burger – somewhat lost and almost unnecessary with such a pungent cheese.
Bun: Burger Bedlam loves us some potato rolls, so a Big Marty's choice had us licking our chops. Also used by Josh Capon and Lure Fishbar, the bun balances out a burger with a complementary sweetness and soft texture. Toasted nicely and, importantly, its size was perfect in relation to the six ounce patty as it maintained its composure as we ate.
Meat (46): Great flavor and fresh juicy texture, but a bit overdone. The char was fantastic and the well formed casing with a crunch had us hooked.
Toppings (20): A pleasant change of pace on the Pimento as the texture differentiates itself from the ubiquity of American or cheddar. The onions were a standout in terms of flavor but the pickles were "meh" and the special sauce was unnecessary while barely showing up to the party.
Bun (24): Soft and sweet with a fresh taste, we were pleased. A strong choice that structurally was what the patty required.
The Lucy is a solid burger but I would go with the Bacon, Egg and Cheeseburger.

RDPA IV through component 1 supports the advancing of the regional development reform based on the backdrop and institutional context already consolidated during the third phase of the programme.
In this regard, component 1 of the programme specifically tackles the successful implementation of the National Plan of Regional Development through advancing of Regional Development planning and programming cycle, at national and regional level, as well as the completion of the legal framework which represents the ground of all foreseen RD institutions.
Based on actual results and expectations, more efforts will be focused on enhancing the institutional capacities of National Institutions and Regional Units to ensure a solid management of RD Policy and to use the already initiated Planning process for the implementation of the Operational Programme. The above mentioned objectives will be successfully delivered under phase IV of the Programme, assuming that the complete legal and institutional framework will be in place and will serve as basis for the successful implementation of the reform.
In this context, during phase IV of RDPA, support will be provided for the establishment of the National Plan for Regional Development and related regional planning documents which require substantial efforts in terms of coordination at several levels. The overall coordination of the NPRD-process has been entrusted to the Deputy Prime Minister, which is the competent body for coordinating Regional Development Policy in Albania. In its overall coordination task the Deputy Prime Minister will work closely with the Albanian Development Fund (ADF), which has been entrusted with the implementation of Regional Development Policy interventions in Albania and is also performing the role of secretariat of the National Committee for Regional Development (NCRD).
The National Committee for Regional Development (NCRD) has been established in the draft Law on Regional Development for performing the role of overseeing the situation in the field of regional development and proposing measures for promoting regional development in Albania. As such the NCRD is an important national consultative body that will issue its opinion on proposals for a new Regional Development Policy in Albania.
In addition, in each of the Regions, a Regional Development Board (RDB) has been foreseen to be set up for consultation and promotion of regional development objectives and their implementation on the territory of the respective regions. The RDB is a partnership body in which representatives of local governments and socio-economic partners (private sector, NGO's and other societal groups) provide their ideas and opinions on relevant aspects of regional development policy of national and regional government.
RDPA will ensure full support to establish the above mentioned institutions which are considered as key partnership bodies for delivering a successful reform, by including all relevant actors and coordinating efforts at national and local level. Component 1 will be delivered ensuring all consultation processes needed for finalising the legal and institutional framework. Intra-institutional dialogue and cooperation are two key elements which guide the strategy of finalising RD policy and its follow-up implementation at central and local level.

Problem is when I am building my app after making some changes in the js file. Build first removes the newly created change and then it builds. So in this way, I am not able to write new code for admob in the js file. What will be the solution to this problem?

Engineer with Passion for Science Demystifies Intimidating Concepts through Game Play
Written by Editorial Team
Science Focused Game Company premieres 3rd Crowd-funding campaign
John Coveyou nearly dropped out of high-school while living out of his car, but is now a Iraq Veteran, a scholar from the prestigious Washington University, holds a master's degree in engineering and now plans to successfully crowd-fund his 3rd science-themed game to shake the chemistry education community.
Coveyou nearly dropped out of high school while he lived out of his car and worked the night shift at IHOP. He typifies himself as a student who was fascinated with science from an early age, but thought he would never have the capabilities and knowledge necessary to succeed in such an intimidating field. At 17 he joined the military, little knowing that a few years later he would find himself serving his country in Iraq. "Iraq was a difficult and lonely time when one of my biggest solaces was watching Chemistry & Biology lectures from MIT on the tiny screen of my IPod! It was definitely out of the norm for a soldier to spend his time learning science."
Upon returning home, Coveyou enrolled in St. Louis Community College – Meramec (STLCC) where he excelled in school. In stark comparison to High School, Coveyou thrived in college, accumulating nearly a 4.0 and was invited to give the commencement speech for his graduating class in 2007.
Coveyou then applied to the prestigious Washington University, successfully competed for one of the two yearly Elizabeth Grey Danforth Scholarships, and was awarded a full-tuition scholarship. From there, Coveyou went on to get a degree in Environmental Biology and his Master's Degree in Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering. But after working at an engineering firm and teaching chemistry at STLCC he couldn't bury the passion he had to teach kids how accessible and cool science could be. So, he quit his well-paid engineering job to start his own educational board game company, Genius Games.
His first game, Linkage: A DNA Card Game took off with over 600 backers on Kickstarter, raising over 300% of his goal in just one month, and was later featured in Popular Science Magazine as one of the "Top 10 Things from February 2015" completely blowing away his expectations. Continuing to address this need, Coveyou launched a game that was the biological follow up to Linkage, Peptide: A Protein Building Game six months later.
It was clear Coveyou found a niche for a country struggling in its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. In the United States, student literacy in STEM subjects has continued to decline – our students currently rank at the 52nd percentile for STEM literacy globally. While Middle and high school students find science "boring" or "intimidating", they voluntarily engage in an average of two hours a day playing video and tabletop games. More often than not however, these games distance kids from reality rather than engaging them in it. Coveyou states, "Traditionally, games are meant only for entertainment and are therefore not normally played inside school. School is meant to educate, but traditionally it hasn't been very fun. My hope is to design games that are a blast to play, but simultaneously demystify intimidating concepts in the sciences". Coveyou's plan is simple. Why not make learning complex subjects like science more like playing a game? Students "study" what they need to learn in order to excel at the game, so why not give them games about real-life science topics.
On April 8th, Coveyou will be launching his third tabletop game, Ion: A Compound Building Game, on Kickstarter. The mechanics for this fast-paced game grew from one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry, Ionic Bonding. In everyday terms, Ionic Bonding is the process by which elements with a charge join to form some of the most common compounds we use every day. Coveyou says "I think games are a fun and engaging way to comprehend the over-complicated process through which the sciences are normally taught in school. Game learning can also increase long-term retention and set the foundation for life-long learners."

Over The Edge VIP Rappelers
CHARLOTTE, NC – Coming off the excitement of the 60th running of the Coca Cola 600 in Charlotte, The NASCAR Foundation and NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation announced Tuesday the return of the innovative, second annual "Over the Edge Charlotte" fundraising event, set for Sept. 24-25.
Tuesday, Sept. 24 is designated as "VIP Day" featuring celebrity participants rappelling 100 feet down the side of the Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown – with the NASCAR Hall of Fame as the backdrop. Wednesday, Sept. 25 is "Individual Rappel Day" and is limited to the first 130 people raising $1,000 in support of their rappelling; registration is available on-line at OverTheEdgeCharlotte.org.
One of those celebrities electing to traverse – in reverse – the 10-story hotel is current Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Matt DiBenedetto, who also took part last year. He has also enlisted his wife Taylor to join him on a fundraising team.
"Last year my wife Taylor signed me up for the event without me knowing, initially because I'm afraid of heights," DiBenedetto said. "But the event is for a great cause, so I couldn't say no.
"It helped me a little bit with my fear of heights. The building was tall enough to be scary but still short enough for me to follow-through and not chicken out. This year, I'm making Taylor do the event with me since she's scared of everything."
This year's event follows a highly successful 2018 debut when nearly 100 rappellers – including seven current NASCAR drivers – raised nearly $200,000.
Rusty Wallace, a NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee and a member of The NASCAR Foundation's board of directors, is another returning rappeller who has participated in the Foundation's rappelling events in both Daytona and Charlotte.
"This return of Over the Edge gives us another opportunity to impact the lives of a lot of kids right here in the Charlotte community, through The NASCAR Foundation and NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation," Wallace said. "It's great to see friends like Matt join us again this year, and we look forward to having many others involved as this event grows."
In addition to DiBenedetto and Wallace, confirmed VIPs include former NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kurt Busch, NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Jeremy Clements and Charlotte radio personality Woody, from 106.5 The END "Woody and Wilcox" show.
Proceeds from Over the Edge Charlotte will be targeted specifically to provide resources to children battling pediatric cancer through The NASCAR Foundation's Speediatrics Children's Fund and to provide scholarships to students in the Charlotte area to participate in the NASCAR Hall of Fame STEM education workshops through the NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation.
The Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown is the event's Building Partner while Ally, Bank of America, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority (CRVA), NASCAR, Pocono Raceway, Publix and Richard Childress Racing are designated as Landing Zone Sponsors. Adams Outdoor and iHeart Media are official Media Sponsors. The Chicken Coop is once again sponsored by Looie Mattioli.
Members of the Charlotte community are encouraged to join the cause, by registering at OverTheEdgeCharlotte.org to begin fundraising.

When You & Your Partner Start Growing Apart
Published by Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S.
"It's incredibly easy for couples to grow apart because we have such busy lives," according to Ashley Davis Bush, LCSW, a psychotherapist who specializes in couples therapy. Life, with its myriad commitments and responsibilities, will pull you apart, unless you consciously resist, she said.
These are some red flags that you're growing apart, according to Bush: consistently spending less time together; going to bed at different times; making big decisions without consulting each other (and forgetting that you're a partner and a "we"); keeping secrets; feeling lonely when you're together or not enjoying each other's company; and not having sex.
Fortunately, there are many ways you can reconnect and grow together. Here are six suggestions.
1. Talk about it.
Let your partner know how you're feeling, and brainstorm ways you can grow closer, Bush said. For instance, you might say, "I'm not feeling as close to you as I used to, and I really want to feel that again," or "It seems like we're growing apart, what can we do?"
"This invites collaboration," instead of playing the blame game. Maybe you decide to schedule more time together, get away for the weekend, read a relationship book or seek couples counseling, she said. "Sometimes as few as five therapy sessions can make a difference."
And the earlier you come in, the better. Research shows that couples wait around six years before seeking help, so when they finally start therapy, it's often too late, Bush said. The relationship is too damaged.
2. Prioritize sex.
"Couples who do not grow apart continue to maintain a satisfying physical relationship," said Meredith Hansen, Psy.D, a clinical psychologist who works with couples in Newport Beach, Calif.
In fact, sex can be a good barometer for how healthy a relationship is, Bush said.
Commit to making sex a priority, Hansen said. Everyone's needs and desires are different, so talk about it, and try to meet in the middle, Bush said. Scheduling sex can help, she said.
3. Bring back old habits.
Sometimes, it can help to recall the things you did together when you were falling in love, said Bush, also co-author of 75 Habits for a Happy Marriage: Advice to Recharge and Reconnect Every Day. What activities did you like? What helped you grow together?
For instance, maybe you loved exercising together or watching baseball games or attending concerts.
4. Try new things.
"Relationships thrive on novelty," Bush said. It's important for our brains and keeps things interesting and exciting, she said. For instance, try a new restaurant, start a new hobby or visit a new city.
5. Plan recurring date nights.
"Plan a regular date night and commit to talking about anything but the kids, reminisce about [your] dating days and share something that the other doesn't know about that period of time," Hansen said.
6. Ask meaningful questions.
"To avoid growing apart, couples must remain interested in one another," Hansen said. One way to do that is to ask your spouse meaningful questions. They "help deepen the conversation and allow us access to our partner's inner thoughts and feelings."
For instance, if your partner reveals that they're frustrated about work, instead of suggesting solutions, "ask them how this makes them feel, what would help them get through this difficult time [and] what they need in this moment."
If you're new parents, talk about how becoming a parent has changed you, what you like most about it, and what's been the most surprising change, she said.
She also shared these additional questions: "What are you happiest with in life? What would you like to see change in our life/your life? How has life surprised you? What goals do you have for our family/work/our children over the next year/five years/10 years? How can I better support you as a spouse? What are you most proud of?"
"Your relationship is like a gift in your life. You want to nurture it, be grateful for it and do everything you can to keep it thriving," Bush said. If you're feeling distance in your relationship, your partner probably is too, she said. Be open with each other and decide how you'd like to grow together.

The Many Faces of Empathy
Published by Susan Donnelly on PsychCentral
While empathy doesn't come in as many varieties as are found in the cereal aisle, it is no more uniform than it is universal.
Empathy is generally understood as the ability to appreciate the ideas and feelings of another, even if those ideas or feelings are different from one's own.
It is also volitional — I have to put on someone else's shoes to be able to walk around in them awhile.
Healthy relationships in general and constructive communication in particular cannot happen without some sort of resonance between people. Establishing resonance can be taxing, but without it things fall apart at some point. We can think of interpersonal or intergroup resonance as falling somewhere along what can be thought of as an empathic continuum.
Along this empathic continuum we have things like sympathy, understanding, pity, sensitivity, acceptance, and compassion. When parents provide this for their children it takes on special importance. Empathy is then called attunement or mirroring, and a young child's well-being or even survival depends on it.
While all resonance along the empathic continuum is affirmative, some are more costly than others, requiring more or less adjustment of our own personal needs or attitudes. Interpersonal resonance is a skill, a gift, a choice, and a commitment.
On the empathic continuum, pity is the least demanding because it posits a degree of separateness between or among persons or groups. It can be tricky to pity someone with a disability or a serious illness. In the wrong hands, pity can devolve into condescension or even revulsion.
Sympathy implies a harmony of feeling, where we truly commiserate with the feelings of another. However, we may not generalize those feelings to ourselves.
Empathy requires that we suspend our own judgments and emotions about a situation or person, and attempt to walk in their shoes, hence the more volitional aspect of true empathy. Empathy is where resonance really starts to hum. Empathy recognizes there is indeed only six degrees of separation.
Finally, compassion involves a felt desire to alleviate the suffering of another. Compassion requires us to take a bit of another's suffering and carry it around in our own heart, possibly for a long time. Compassion can also be challenging in that it may call us to confront the causes of another's suffering, which can include abuse, bigotry, or unjust social and economic structures. Compassion begins with empathic connection, and carries on with committed action.
Just as we can check out the entire cereal aisle, the empathic continuum is neither static nor mutually exclusive. We could be moved to pity by the face of a malnourished child on our screen, and one day end up befriending a struggling child we come to know, right in our own community.
Fearful & Frozen: Why Victims Don't Act to Stop Bullying
Published by Sophie Hanshaw, DPSYCH, on PsychCentral.
On January 1, 2014 in Australia, anti-bullying legislation was introduced. Workers now can apply to to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) for an order to stop the bullying. Once an application has been received, the FWC has two weeks to investigate the complaint.
Legislators expected an overwhelming demand: Bullying affects over 30 percent — more than 3 million — Australian workers and costs the economy between $6 billion and $36 billion dollars a year.
It seemed reasonable to expect that applications should have numbered in the thousands by now when results from a parliamentary inquiry in 2012-13 showed that workers' most desired outcome was that they just wanted the bullying to stop.
However, only 44 applications have been received so far in 2014, six of which were withdrawn. Why?
This has surprised commentators who have been speculating about possible causes, especially when in contrast, 1,000 unfair dismissal complaints were made within the same time period.
Predictions have been that the low numbers may simply reflect seasonal variations or the uncertainty caused by the newness of the legislation. However, the actual reasons for the low number of applications may be much more sinister.
Bullying often is experienced as a relentless campaign of terror that, on average, has lasted at least two years, in the face of which victims are left feeling helpless, frozen and too frightened to act in their own defense.
Fear of reprisals from the boss, possible unfair dismissal, loss of economic stability, leaving the workplace without good referrals and the difficulty of finding a new job are very real concerns that stop victims from lodging complaints.
Victims often become mired in beliefs that they are worthless, incompetent and useless when bullying causes them to despair on a daily basis.
In my private practice, I see many clients who have been bullied in the workplace, sometimes for as long as six years. It can take clients two years or more to pluck up the courage to act in their own defense and either make a complaint or look for another job.
This is especially so in workplaces where bullying is rife, policies and procedures afford no real protection and management functions within a culture of denial, such as state government departments unregulated under the new legislation.
In those workplaces, the Australian Fair Work Act 2009 ostensibly covers workers but to date, WorkSafe (the agency responsible for enforcing the act) has never prosecuted a state government department for bullying, so workers probably don't feel safe in coming forward.
Most targets of bullies are ethical, decent and competent employees who may be shy and conflict-averse, lacking in confidence to assert their right to safety, especially when feeling depressed and anxious.
Bullied workers can take the following three steps when too frightened to make a formal complaint:
See a doctor for a referral (eligible for Medicare rebates in Australia) to see an independent psychologist, competent in supporting recovery from bullying and willing to take an advocacy role.
Keep a journal of bullying incidents and other important evidence to support a possible case.
Keep informed by reading the latest books, blog articles and social media posts on bullying.

The Top 5 Most Ignorant Opinions of Bipolar Disorder
Published by Kat Dawkins on PsychCentral
If you have bipolar disorder, you've probably had the pleasure (cough, cough) of dealing with people who feel the need to tell you the "truth" about your illness.
You know who I'm talking about—those who do not live with bipolar disorder, yet have a great deal of advice on how you should approach it.
Some of the opinions I have heard from people that don't live with bipolar disorder include:
Your symptoms aren't necessarily bipolar disorder; everyone goes through mood swings, lack of energy, etc.
You don't need medication to stay well and/or you won't need to be on medication for the rest of your life.
Your illness is not as bad as you make it out to be.
You don't have to think about your bipolar disorder that frequently.
Bipolar disorder is not a real medical illness.
However, people who have real experience with bipolar, including consumers, doctors, and therapists, find it the illness extremely valid, hard to treat, and chronic and lifelong in nature.
I have never had a psychiatrist, nurse, or licensed professional counselor tell me any of the things listed above.
The people who say these things are usually "laypeople" who have no practical experience with bipolar, or that desperately want to convince themselves that illnesses such as these are not real (or as bad as we say it is) in order to protect their feelings.
I don't get upset about these opinions because they are just that—it is quite clear to quickly discern when you are talking to someone that knows nothing about mental illness.
It's sad, really, that the most ignorant people I've met in life happen to be the ones with the most "advice".
It seems like a defense mechanism, for various reasons.
But what's the point?
Modern society has become a place where everyone thinks they are an expert on everything. Just take a look at Twitter.
We now have the itch to express what we are thinking all the time—even if no one asked us.
That opportunity allows me to write this blog. However, this opinion-based society does not, by its very nature, always promote the greater good.
"Everyone experiences those types of symptoms."
This opinion is one of the biggest indicators that a person does not even have basic knowledge of bipolar disorder.
Yes, you're right that every person is capable of getting angry, being sad, and feeling elated.
Obviously, many people are unclear about the extremes in mood that define this disorder.
During extreme episodes of mania, I have experienced paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations.
My depressive episodes have resulted in suicide attempts, self-harm, and distorted thinking.
In taking the time to educate oneself about bipolar disorder, the validity of the difference between typical mood swings and bipolar mood swings becomes very clear.
"Surely you don't need medication for the rest of your life…do you even need it now?"
Yep—maybe I'm under the false impression that I will be dealing with this chronic condition for the rest of my life—maybe several professional clinicians, over the course of 13 years, are lying to me.
Bipolar disorder is a chronic brain illness that ebbs and flows, but does not show evidence of ever "going away". In fact, without treatment, bipolar disorder symptoms get worse.
I know several people diagnosed with bipolar that are twice my age that would vouch for the fact that bipolar disorder will not loosen it's grip if we ignore it.
"Is bipolar disorder really that bad?"
There are days when my bipolar symptoms don't affect me, sure.
But you know what? I am jumping for joy on those days.
Like any chronic illness, it's always there, and it is going to remind you that it is, especially if you don't take care of yourself.
It is true that you can take steps to lessen the negative impact of the illness.
However, bipolar disorder can and will take control when it wants, even if you are taking your medication.
"Do you really need to think about bipolar all the time?"
The short answer—yes.
I take medication for it every day. I am affected by symptoms like irritability and low energy quite frequently and that is quite a vivid reminder.
I don't think about it 24 hours a day, but just like a physical illness like diabetes, if you ignore it, you're being irresponsible with your health.
"Is bipolar even real?"
This is the best one. This takes the cake.
The term "manic depression", the first term referring to bipolar disorder, was formulated by a German psychiatrist in the early 1900s. References to this illness have been in every single Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders since the publication's inception.
Lithium, still considered the "gold standard" for bipolar treatment, was added into the practice of psychiatry around 1950.
Since then, progress on information relating to the validity and the treatment of bipolar disorder has developed rapidly.
Don't just take my word for it. Ask the medical doctors and world-renowned scientists at the National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organization, the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, and the top medical schools in the country if bipolar disorder is a "real illness".
Bipolar disorder mimics many other life experiences that are only experienced by a small percentage of people, in that the majority of others cannot imagine what it is like to walk in our shoes.
The easiest thing is to ignore or refute what you don't understand. That is a very closed-minded and unfortunate way to live.

Telltale Signs It's Time to Treat Your Anxiety
Anxiety is an adaptive process that is critical for our survival, said L. Kevin Chapman, Ph.D, an associate professor at the University of Louisville and a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice, specializing in anxiety disorders.
It prompts "us to pay attention to both internal and external events." But when anxiety becomes acute, uncontrollable or chronic, it can interfere with our lives.
And that's when seeking professional treatment is key.
Here's a list of the obvious and not-so-obvious signs that it's time to get treatment.
Your anxiety prevents you from engaging in social, academic, occupational or enjoyable activities, or you engage in them but with great distress, Chapman said. For instance, you stop driving or visiting certain places, because this makes you anxious; you're not able to give speeches in class or presentations at work; you can only leave the house after performing certain rituals.
You engage in safety behaviors, Chapman said. This is any behavior to temporarily relieve your anxiety and distress. He gave these examples: you don't drive on the interstate (preferring "the scenic route"); only speak to familiar people at work events; avoid eye contact in social situations; and carry your cell phone just in case you need to call someone when you're in an anxiety-provoking situation.
You can't leave your house because you fear losing control and panicking, said Bill Knaus, Ed.D, a licensed psychologist and author of The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anxiety. "Thus, you live in a highly restricted comfort zone."
You don't voice or prioritize your personal concerns, wants and wishes in order to avoid potentially unpleasant encounters, Knaus said. "Thus, your neighbor borrows your lawnmower and keeps it for the season. A local merchant overcharges you for a service, and you pay up and say nothing."
You experience physical sensations of anxiety, Chapman said, including: shaking; shortness of breath; heart palpitations; smothering sensations; and hot and cold flashes. "[M]any individuals with panic, in particular, are initially observed — or driven to — an ER setting due to the fear of having a heart attack."
You can't stop worrying. "Chronic worriers report difficulty turning worry 'on and off' like a light switch whereas 'normal' worriers report being able to turn off worrisome thoughts while engaging in problem solving," Chapman said. This kind of worry can last for hours and includes "muscle tension, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbance and irritability."
You regularly worry about the future; ruminate about past mistakes; and dread having to meet daily challenges, Knaus said.
"You have an intolerance for uncertainty and an intolerance for feeling anxious," he said. For instance, a common factor in anxiety is intolerance for tension, he said.
"[Y]ou make mountains out of molehills," Knaus said. For instance, you regularly imagine the worst-case scenario. "Exaggeration is a common factor in anxiety."
You have a restrictive phobia. Knaus shared this example: You're petrified of flying, but your boss requires you to travel outside the country. If you don't get on a plane, you'll lose your job.
You avoid seeking opportunities and taking risks, Knaus said. "You settle for a safe mate, a safe job, a safe life, but you still don't feel safe."
You're self-conscious about doing well. "You don't want to appear 'better' or others might reject you," Knaus said.
You've tried "everything" besides therapy, and nothing has helped to reduce your anxiety, Chapman said.
If you're experiencing these signs, you might be wondering what to do next. Chapman and Knaus shared these suggestions:
"Start with acceptance," Knaus said. "Whatever the reason you suffer from anxiety, it is not your fault." Maybe you're overly sensitive to negative sensations in your body, startle easily or had poor role models, he said. "Although anxieties are part of your 'self,' they are not the whole of you."
Find a therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is "the gold standard for a broad range of different anxieties and co-existing conditions," Knaus said. It's "an evidence-based method that helps people overcome anxiety thinking, tolerate unpleasant anxiety sensations, and engage in problem-related corrective behaviors."Chapman suggested visiting these websites to find a therapist: Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies; Anxiety and Depression Association of America; and the International OCD Foundation.
Try a cognitive-behavioral workbook on anxiety, written by doctoral-level mental health specialists, Knaus said. "[This] can be as effective as therapy for a sub-group of people with anxiety."
Practice self-care. "Daily life is filled with stresses and strains, and they add to what psychologist Bruce McEwen calls the allostatic load factor, or wearing and tearing the body with stress," Knaus said. These wearing and tearing effects can perpetuate a vicious cycle of increased vulnerability to stress and more anxiety. There are many things you can do to reduce the load, he said, including: getting adequate sleep and exercise; avoiding smoking and drinking excessively; and healthfully navigating negative emotions.
Experiencing excessive anxiety can feel scary, uncomfortable and confusing. Fortunately, anxiety is highly treatable. And you can get better. If you're struggling with anxiety, seek professional help for proper evaluation and treatment.

Effects of Bullying Can Be Persistent
Published by Rick Nauert, Ph.D., on PsychCentral
A new study suggests the duration, or how long a child is bullied, is a major factor toward assessing the damage the activity may cause on a child's overall health.
As reported online in the journalPediatrics, the longer the period of time a child is bullied, the more severe and lasting the impact.
The study is the first to examine the compounding effects of bullying from elementary school to high school.
"Our research shows that long-term bullying has a severe impact on a child's overall health, and that its negative effects can accumulate and get worse with time," says the study's first author Laura Bogart, Ph.D.
"It reinforces the notion that more bullying intervention is needed, because the sooner we stop a child from being bullied, the less likely bullying is to have a lasting, damaging effect on his or her health down the road."
Bogart and the team collected data for the study by following a group of 4,297 children and adolescents from fifth to tenth grade.
The researchers periodically interviewed them about their mental and physical health and their experience(s) with bullying.
The researchers found that bullying at any age was associated with worse mental and physical health, increased depressive symptoms, and lower self-worth.
Participants who experienced chronic bullying also reported increased difficulties in physical activities like walking, running, or participating in sports.
Those who experienced bullying in the past and were also experiencing bullying in the present showed the lowest health scores.
According to the authors, the study reinforces the importance of early intervention to stop bullying and to be aware of the need to intervene again, even if the bullying is not ongoing, to address the persistent effects.
Bogart and colleagues are calling for increased research to better develop and clinically test bullying prevention and intervention methods.
"There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to addressing bullying," Bogart says.
"But providing teachers, parents, and clinicians with best-practices that are evidence-based could better assist those at the frontlines helping children cope with this serious problem and lessen the damage it causes."

Hillary Clinton Is Getting Back into Politics
Clinton says she's "part of the resistance." Here's what she plans to do next.
By Abigail Tracy
By Ben Gabbe/Getty images.
In the months following her devastating electoral loss, Hillary Clinton largely stayed out of the spotlight, only emerging from the woods for certain events where her absence would send a stronger message than her attendance, such as Donald Trump's inauguration. But now, following a string of high-profile public appearances, it is clear that Clinton is back. This reality has not only prompted speculation as to what the next power play will be for the insatiable former secretary of state but concern that she would—God forbid—launch another campaign. And while it seems Clinton has no plans to run for elected office in the near future—(one hopes Chelsea Clinton follows suit)—it would be wishful thinking to assume she would stay in hibernation. Hillary Clinton, as she declared Tuesday at the Women for Women International Conference in New York, is "part of the resistance."
As Vanity Fair special correspondent William D. Cohan detailed last month, there has been an active debate inside Clintonworld since November as to how she should return to the public sphere. "She's trying to navigate what's appropriate," a source close to the Clintons said. "She can't look like a politician or someone who's trying to position herself. Those days are over. I think they're very mindful of not looking like she's looking for a comeback. She's trying to resurrect her image, as well as resurrect her name."
Now, we have a better idea what Clinton's resurrection will look like, or at least how it will begin. According to a new report from Mike Allen at Axios, Clinton will position herself as a "quiet catalyst" with the launch of a political action committee that will bolster organizations and movements she cares about and, ultimately, support 2018 congressional candidates for a Democratic retake of Capitol Hill. In true Clinton form, she will also return to the paid speaking circuit and has plans to publish two books by the end of the year—an illustrated children's book and one focused on life advice for getting through tough times, in which her presidential campaign will, of course, be featured.
The challenge for Clinton, as Cohan notes, is "capitalizing on her political martyrdom without quite appearing to do so." According to Allen, that means Clinton will be positioning herself as an oppositional force to Trump without injecting herself constantly into the national debate by commenting on each of his daily outrages. "An unwritten rule around her office has been to allow for a peaceful transition of power (evidenced by her attending the inauguration) but to not stand by when POTUS is doing things she sees as counter to her core values," he writes.
For Clinton, the trick is promoting herself as an effective voice of the "resistance" without getting in its way. "It's a fine line because it could become easily an 'I-told-you-so' tour, which no one has any appetite for," one Clinton loyalist told Cohan last month. "People don't want to hear it, and they don't want to hear it from her. If you move too quickly, you look political. You lose your stature as an elder statesman. You look like a chronic politician. If you move a bit more strategically—target your appearances, target your messages at your appearances, craft your messages appropriately for your appearances—you can keep on an elder stateswoman status. You can have an impact on the dialogue where it won't look self-serving." It will not be easy to do, this person added.
Already Clinton's comeback tour has hit a speed bump. Despite asserting at the Women for Women conference on Tuesday that she takes "absolute personal responsibility" for her electoral defeat, Clinton went on to blame F.B.I. director James Comey and Russia for her stinging loss. "I was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but were scared off," she said.
Clinton's team may be cautious about positioning her too close to the spotlight, but Trump, who remains one of the few politicians in America less popular than Hillary, seized the opportunity to highlight his former opponent's flaws.
