Timothy Shriver’s journey begins close to home, where the quiet legacy of his aunt Rosemary, a Kennedy whose intellectual disability kept her far from the limelight, inspired his family to devote their careers to helping the most vulnerable. He plays alongside the children of Camp Shriver, his mother’s revolutionary project, which provided a space for children with intellectual disabilities to play, and years later he gains invaluable wisdom from the incredible athletes he befriends as chairman of the organization it inspired, Special Olympics.
His book is Fully Alive: Discovering What Matters Most.
When Lions Roar begins in the mid-1930s at Chartwell, Winston Churchill's country estate, with new revelations surrounding a secret business deal orchestrated by Joseph P. Kennedy, the soon-to-be American ambassador to Great Britain and the father of future American president John F. Kennedy. From London to America, these two powerful families shared an ever-widening circle of friends, lovers, and political associates – soon shattered by World War II, spying, sexual infidelity, and the tragic deaths of JFK's sister Kathleen and his older brother Joe Jr. By the 1960s and JFK's presidency, the Churchills and the Kennedys had overcome their bitter differences and helped to define the “greatness” in each other.
Acclaimed biographer Thomas Maier tells this dynastic saga through fathers and their sons – and the remarkable women in their lives – providing keen insight into the Churchill and Kennedy families and the profound forces of duty, loyalty, courage and ambition that shaped them.
Kerry Kennedy is asking again for the dismissal of her drugged-driving case. The charge stems from a 2012 highway collision outside New York City that Kennedy blames on her accidentally taking a sleeping pill.
Kennedy's attorney said after a court session Thursday that he asked the judge to reconsider a previous judge's refusal to dismiss. He says the prosecution recently acknowledged it has no evidence Kennedy took the pill on purpose.
A district attorney's spokesman declined to comment.

Origami paper (preferably larger than your smallest drawer)
Glue (I use Aleene's Tacky glue diluted with a touch of water.)
Brush and container for glue (use a cheap brush and plastic cup)
Self-healing cutting mat (Something to protect your work surface from the knife)Step 1:
Brush a thin layer of glue onto front of drawer. Position paper on front of drawer aligning one corner of the paper with one corner of the drawer. For drawers that are larger than your paper, apply multiple pieces of paper, positioning edges together. Smooth paper gently with a bone folder to smooth out any bubbles.
Place drawer face-down on self-healing cutting mat. With x-acto knife cut off excess paper from sides.
Using x-acto knife cut paper from cut out hole. Use a gentle sawing motion and keep the blade next to the wooden edge of the drawer.
Repeat for all drawers.
For inspiration, here's another wooden IKEA object covered with origami paper. I used squares of red and brown paper to cover this mirror using a decoupage method. So feel free to use more than one paper on each drawer or to use the same paper on all drawers.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if any of the instructions are not clear. I'd be happy to help!

According to a recent study, Oklahoma County ranks number three nationwide for counties that sentence people to the death penalty.
The October 2013 study by the Death Penalty Information Center found since reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976, four states — Texas, Oklahoma, Virginia and Florida — account for nearly 60 percent of all executions carried out in the U.S.
Oklahoma County had 38 people who were executed during that time period. The study also found 28 of the nearly 60 inmates currently on death row in the state are from Oklahoma County.
Since the study was conducted, one of those 28, Kenneth Eugene Hogan, has been put to death.
Tulsa County ranked seventh on the list, with 15 sentenced to die since 1976. Comanche County also made the list with six.

Building on the successes of floating PV projects installed on lakes and dams globally, offshore installations are an emerging opportunity for developers, potentially when co-located with wind farms. George Heynes explores how the industry can move beyond pilot projects to large-scale, commercially viable installations, detailing the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Across the globe, the solar industry continues to see a surge in popularity with the variable renewable energy source able to be deployed across a range of different regions.
One of the latest, and potentially most important, methods of using solar has now come to the forefront of the industry. Offshore and inshore waters floating solar projects, also known as floatovoltaics, could become a revolutionary technology and prove successful in generating local green energy in areas which currently are hard to develop due to geographical limitations.
Floating solar panels work much the same way as land-based systems. However, the inverters and the arrays are affixed on a floating platform. Combiner boxes collect the direct current electricity after generation, and it is then converted into alternating current by solar inverters.
Floating solar can be deployed in oceans, lakes and rivers in regions where building out the grid can be difficult. Areas such as the Caribbean, Indonesia and the Maldives could significantly benefit from this technology. Pilot projects have been deployed in Europe where the technology continues to see further traction as an additional renewable weapon to the decarbonisation arsenal.
Austrian utility EVN and BayWa. r.e announced last year what they claimed at the time would be Europe’s ‘largest’ floating PV installation, which is to be developed in Grafenwörth, Austria.
Alongside this, Norway and Belgium have both seen a mass influx of the technology via pilot projects. This enables several European testbeds to experiment with the technology and test its feasibility. Other pilot projects are being rolled around the globe and the technology is becoming increasingly likely to expand into fully fledged projects. But what are the opportunities associated with the technology?
How offshore floating solar could take the world by storm
One of the many benefits of offshore floating solar is that the technology can be co-located with existing technologies to boost the energy yields of renewable generation plants.
Hydropower plants can be coupled with offshore floating solar to boost the productivity of sites. According to the World Bank’s Where Sun Meets Water: Floating Solar Market Report, solar capacity can be used to boost the energy yield of assets and may also help manage periods of low water availability by allowing the hydropower plant to operate in ‘peaking’ rather than ‘baseload’ mode.
The report also details other positive effects from the use of offshore floating solar, including the cooling effect from the water body potentially increasing energy yield, the reduction or even elimination of the shading of panels by their surroundings, the elimination of the need for major site preparation and easy installation and deployment.
Hydropower plants are not the only existing renewable generation technology that could be bolstered via the arrival of offshore floating solar. Offshore wind could well be coupled with offshore floating solar to maximise the yields of these mass structures.
This potential has seen significant interest in the North Sea with its many wind farms. These offer the perfect prerequisites for the development of offshore floating solar farms.
“We believe that if you combine offshore floating solar with offshore wind, the infrastructure is already there and so it is much faster to develop the project. This helps the development of the technology,” says Allard van Hoeken, CEO and founder of Oceans of Energy.
Hoeken also refers to the amount of energy that could be generated from the North Sea alone should solar be coupled with existing offshore wind farms.
“If you combine offshore solar with offshore wind, you can easily generate 50% of all the energy that’s needed in the Netherlands per year with only 5% of the Dutch North Sea,” he says.
This potential showcases how important this technology could be for the overall solar industry and to countries transitioning to a low-carbon energy system.
One of the biggest benefits of using offshore floating solar is the available space. The oceans provide vast areas that could be utilised for the technology whereas, on land, there are many uses competing for space. This could also mitigate concerns over building solar farms on agricultural land – an area which has seen growing concerns in the UK.
This perspective is matched by Chris Willow, head of floating wind development at RWE Offshore Wind, who believes the potential for the technology is huge.
“Offshore solar has the potential to be an exciting evolution of onshore and lake-based technology and opens a new door to GW-scale solar energy generation. The technology unlocks new markets by avoiding the issue of land scarcity,” says Willock.
By providing a means to generate energy offshore, it removes the issues associated with land scarcity, as stated by Willock. This could see the technology utilised in small city-state countries such as Singapore, as referenced by Ingrid Lome, senior naval architect at Moss Maritime, a Norwegian engineering firm dedicated to offshore developments.
“Any country where you have limited space on land for energy production has great potential for offshore floating solar, Singapore being a typical example. A key benefit is being able to have electricity production next to aquaculture, oil and gas production sites or other energy-demanding installations,” Lome says.
This point is crucial. The technology can create microgrids for areas or facilities that are not connected to a wider grid. This highlights the potential of the technology in countries with a lot of islands where it is difficult to create a national grid.
One area in particular which could be provided with a massive boost via this technology is Southeast Asia, in particular Indonesia. This region has masses of islands and less suitable land for solar developments. What the region does have in abundance are large water networks and oceans.
By presenting this technology, it could be influential in decarbonising areas that are located off the national grid. This market opportunity has been highlighted by Francisco Vozza, chief commercial officer at floating solar developer Solar-Duck.
“We’re starting to see commercial and pre-commercial projects in places in Europe like Greece, Italy and the Netherlands. But there are also opportunities in other places like Japan, Bermuda, South Korea and around Southeast Asia. There’s a lot of markets out there where we see applications already commercial today,” Vozza says.
Clearly, the technology could be used to radically scale the renewable generation capacity from the North Sea and other oceans in a bid to accelerate the energy transition at unprecedented rates. However, several challenges and obstacles must be overcome for this to be achieved.
A sea of challenges
Utilising offshore floating solar comes with a range of challenges. Not only are these projects often very expensive to develop, but there is also still so much that is unknown about the technology and how it can affect ecosystems especially underwater.
“The biggest challenge is to develop offshore floating PV solutions (including the anchoring, mooring, float structures, PV modules and electrical components, cables) that are robust enough to withstand the harsh offshore circumstances (salt, moisture, wind, waves) while keeping a low and competitive LCOE (levelised cost of energy),” says Wiep Folkerts, who is responsible for Solar Energy Markets and Programs at Netherlands-based independent research organisation TNO.
“Before offshore solar becomes a commercially viable solution ready for deployment, scientific and technological R&D including small-scale pilots are needed to build up the know-how and practical guidelines regarding performance, long-term reliability of the full solution including the dynamic cabling towards a grid station, ecology and sustainability but also to learn from the failures that should lead to improved designs.
“The required robustness strongly depends on the location of the offshore water body. Circumstances at the North Sea for instance can be very harsh and wave heights above 10 metres are not exceptional, while in tropical regions the circumstances could be less demanding.”
Alongside these issues, structural weight and fatigue life can be major challenges in the development of offshore floating solar.
“The main challenges we see are structural weight and fatigue life, which are closely tied to capex costs. It is not very difficult to design a floater that can withstand offshore environment for 30 years if the cost is not important, but the challenge is to find a solution that has sufficient life at an acceptable cost,” says Lome.
“To improve fatigue life, the structure is often reinforced, and by reinforcing the structure the weight increases, the draught increases and the forces within the FPV park increase. Also, [the fact] that no PV module manufacturer is making salt-proof modules will be a challenge for commercial projects.
“Hopefully, they will come around and develop modules for offshore environment once they see that there is a market for it. Co-location with offshore wind could indeed be an important market. It will reduce capex costs as export cables and substations could be shared, and the energy output will be more stable as it often is sunny when there is now wind and vice versa.”
As stated by Lome, co-location of assets could really help enable the technology to scale. This could be influential in the development of the technology. However, Vozza distinguishes a unique set of challenges facing offshore floating solar: regulatory frameworks.
“I think the main speedbump that we’re really going to have to tackle as an industry is the lack of appropriate and harmonised regulatory frameworks,” Vozza says.
“I think the main challenge is how the various markets are going to adapt regulatory frameworks to really accelerate the deployment. But this market is moving really quickly. It can really make an impact and will scale to GW-scale by 2030.”
Having appropriate regulatory frameworks in place could enable offshore solar developers to plan for the future. However, there is a current lack of framework in place to support the technology. Despite this, as the market continues to pick up towards 2030, it is clear that decisions will be made on a political level and we could see further support implemented for the technology.
This perspective is backed by RWE with the company confirming a lack of regulatory framework could be a major obstacle.
“Offshore solar is a new technology with new risks and challenges. Currently, there is a lack of fit-for-purpose regulatory frameworks or policies to accommodate either hybrid or standalone offshore solar projects,” says Willow.
“This absence of policy is likely to result in a large number of permits being required, which in some markets will involve several consenting bodies/stakeholders. In addition, there is a lack of discussion regarding how offshore solar should be integrated into the existing grid infrastructure.”
Willow also believes there are technical issues to overcome prior to full commercialisation of offshore floating solar. Developers need to “understand how the units perform at sea in real conditions” in a bid to optimise the technology for use around the globe. Once this has been overcome, it could be a breakthrough for the technology.
Offshore floating solar expansion in the North Sea
RWE and SolarDuck are two well-established companies both exploring potential offshore floating developments in the North Sea. One of which has seen the two companies partner on a 5MWp offshore solar demonstrator that will be deployed as part of RWE’s Hollandse Kust West VII offshore wind project in the Netherlands. This is expected to be operational from 2026.
The project will provide RWE and Solar-Duck with important first-hand experience in one of the most challenging offshore environments in the world. These learnings are likely to enable a faster commercialisation of the technology in the future.
Alongside this, the two companies are working together on the Merganser project – a 0.5MWp offshore solar demonstrator in the North Sea, which is expected to be installed in 2023.
Vozza believes the North Sea provides the perfect test bed for offshore floating solar, not only due to its proximity to European countries and offshore wind, but due to the harsh conditions witnessed in this sea.
“If you can make it in the North Sea then you can pretty much make it anywhere,” says Vozza.
“Offshore floating solar really has disruptive potential. If you look at comparable technology which made the move to offshore, I think wind is a classic example.
“It started inland, moving to near shore, moving to offshore, and then moving to floating offshore. Solar is much more affordable and a much more available source of energy. It makes sense for solar to follow the same path.”
Willow on the other hand sees an opportunity in the co-location of offshore wind with offshore floating solar to generate vast quantities of renewable energy.
“The integration of offshore solar systems with offshore wind farms could enable efficient use of the sea space by allowing twice the energy production in the same area,” says Willow.
“In addition, the complementary generation profiles of both technologies allow for a more balanced production profile. We also see synergies in the construction and maintenance of the systems.”
Commercialisation of floatovoltaics
Clearly offshore floating solar has an important role play to in the globe’s renewable future. But one of the biggest questions is when the technology could be ready for wider commercialisation. With many pilot projects across the globe continuously innovating this solution and optimising the technology, the question of “when” becomes even larger.
Folkerts believes industrial-scale offshore floating solar generation could become a reality by the end of the decade. “Offshore solar could be deployed on a GWp scale in the future – this is expected to occur after 2027,” he says. This prediction seems plausible considering the innovation within the sector and the progression of pilot projects being constructed around the globe.
When this technology does achieve wider commercialisation, its potential could be paramount in facilitating the energy transition around the globe.

Calcium hydroxide has been successfully used in endodontic therapy since its introduction in 1920 by B. W. Hermann. It is a white, odorless powder with a pH of 12.5–12.8. The alkaline nature of calcium hydroxide accounts for its mechanism of action, attributing to its ability to stimulate hard tissue formation and induce antimicrobial properties. The ionic dissociation of calcium hydroxide releases hydroxyl ions that account for its antimicrobial action. The hydroxyl ions further cause lipid peroxidation that induces the destruction of phospholipids and structural changes in the cellular membrane of the bacterial cell. These peroxides act as free radicals and result in extensive membrane damage through the initiation of autocatalytic chain reactions. The high pH of calcium hydroxide, causes alkalization of the narrow range of pH of bacterial cellular enzymes that bring about denaturation of the protein structure of these enzymes. Moreover, the hydroxyl ions are also efficient to react with bacterial DNA and result in splitting of the strands inhibiting DNA replication and disarranging the cellular activity.
In endodontics, calcium hydroxide is widely employed as an intracanal dressing, for apexification and apexogenesis procedures, wherein it induces dentin bridge formation, for direct and indirect pulp capping, as well as pulp regeneration procedures.
Today, calcium hydroxide has been replaced for various endodontic procedures by mineral trioxide aggregate, due to a high success rate, less pulpal inflammation and more predictable formation of a hard dentin bridge of the latter. However, Kawashima et al. suggested the use of calcium hydroxide as a short-term intracanal medicament which is still a preferred approach in endodontics and dental traumatology.
It has been proposed that the link between hydroxyapatite and collagenous fibrils determine the strength of dentin. The soaring pH of calcium hydroxide may cause the dentinal structure to collapse owing to the destruction of carboxylate and phosphate groups. This destruction and dissolution within the dentinal structure reduces the hardness of the treated tissue. Various studies that have been conducted draw attention to the fact that root canal medicaments may affect the physical and chemical properties of radicular dentin.
Past literature also reveals that long-term exposure to calcium hydroxide may weaken the dentin, thereby increasing the susceptibility of the tooth to fracture. The difference in findings of the previously conducted studies indicates an obvious controversy regarding the negative reverberation of calcium hydroxide on the mechanical properties of dentin that may impact the fracture resistance of teeth, or how long calcium hydroxide can be exposed to radicular dentin without compromising its mechanical properties.
The last systematic review was published in 2013, in which all studies that had an impact on the mechanical properties were included. This review included the literature on animal as well as human teeth. A review was conducted on the reliability of bovine teeth as a substitute for human teeth in dental research. The findings indicated that there exists inconsistent data in regard to whether bovine teeth can be used as a substitute for human teeth in dental research. This outcome pinpoints to the fact that there is a need to narrow down literature and focus exclusively on studies conducted on human dentition so as to replicate clinical scenarios and obtain a scientifically acceptable end result. Subsequently, new studies have been conducted which immensely contribute to the literature and need to be amalgamated to provide an updated overview.
Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an update on the effect of calcium hydroxide on the fracture strength and microhardness of dentin in human teeth on the basis of recent available literature.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
What will be the effect of calcium hydroxide on fracture resistance and microhardness of dentin in human teeth?
Protocol and registration
The protocol of the review is registered with Open Science Framework (OSF) with DOI No. 10.17605/OSF.IO/ZU8V4 and registered from osf.io/7quh2.
Literature search process
PubMed and Scopus were searched for articles till March 12th, 2022. Using the search keywords, Calcium Hydroxide, dentin, dentine, intracanal medicament, metapex, medicament, tooth, fracture, hardness, microhardness, fracture strength, and root dentin, 556 and 627 articles were found for PubMed and Scopus databases, respectively. The review was conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses checklist.
Only those studies were selected in a systematic review that have one control group, are based on human dentition only, have taken any time of duration of exposure taken into consideration, have at least five samples per group, have at least one experimental group with root/radicular dentin filled or exposed to calcium hydroxide and fracture resistance checked before obturation. The minimum number of required samples for a statistically accurate result is five to six, therefore, this is the rationale behind having to include studies with at least five samples per group. Only the articles written in English were considered to be included in the systematic review. Studies having no control group, conducted on bovine and/or ovine teeth, not having a calcium hydroxide group, aim of the study not matched as per the aim of the review, fracture resistance checked after obturation and case reports, letters, short communications, case series, reviews were excluded.
According to the defined inclusion/exclusion criteria, articles were screened based on the title, abstracts and full-text analysis. Articles were also selected from the citation list in order to ensure to identify studies that might have been missed by the database search.
The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using an adaptation of the parameters used in a previous systematic review performed with in vitro studies. The data parameters of the included studies will be evaluated using the following parameters: (a) teeth randomization, (b) standardization of tooth type, (c) teeth free of caries/restoration/cracks, (d) standardization of duration of exposure, (e) standardization of type of testing machine used, (f) single operator protocol execution, and (g) statistical analysis.
Data extraction from the included studies was performed, and data were tabulated under the headings as author and year, type of teeth used, standardization of teeth, presence of any restorations, cracks, fractures, type of mechanical test used, duration of exposure, and pertinent outcome of the study [Table 1].
A total of 1183 articles were retrieved from PubMed and Scopus databases, including articles that were hand searched [Figure 1]. After exclusion of duplicates, the title/abstract evaluation of the remaining articles was done that yielded 39 articles. Of these 39, 29 studies were excluded and the remaining ten studies were included in this review. Table 2 shows the number of studies and their reason for exclusion.
The methodological quality of included studies was assessed under the following sub-headings: teeth randomization, standardization of tooth type, teeth free of caries/restoration/cracks/fractures, standardization of duration of exposure, standardization of type of testing machine used, single operator protocol execution, and statistical analysis. From the ten included studies, five studies were estimated to have a low risk of bias, and five were judged as to have a moderate risk of bias [Table 3].
Due to the heterogenicity in the types of groups, methods, and techniques, the pertinent outcomes could not be standardized, and therefore, conducting a meta-analysis was not possible. In this review, ten studies that evaluated fracture resistance and microhardness of dentin in human teeth, majority studies indicated that prolonged exposure of calcium hydroxide to dentin had a negative impact, thereby affecting the strength of the tooth. The studies included in the systematic review indicate that exposure of more than 30 days (1 month) of calcium hydroxide to dentin increases the fracture susceptibility of teeth. In four of the six experiments that evaluated the microhardness of dentin on exposure to calcium hydroxide, an inverse relationship was observed between the duration of exposure to calcium hydroxide and the microhardness of dentin.
The aim of this review was to identify and systematically analyze studies that assessed the effect of calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament in endodontics on the fracture resistance and microhardness of dentin in human teeth. The intracanal medication with calcium hydroxide was evaluated at different time intervals that is 1 day (24 h), 3 days, 7 days (1 week), 2 weeks, 1 month (30 days or 4 weeks), 3 months, 6 months (180 days), and 12 months (180 days). In this review, only those studies were undertaken that were conducted on mature permanent human teeth as the previous study speculated that incompletely formed or immature roots and resorption defects could make the root prone to fracture due to thin dentin walls.
Based on the past literature so far, it was reported that calcium hydroxide as intracanal dressing causes changes in the surface of root canals and softens the tooth tissue. A previous systematic review revealed that modulus of elasticity was the least affected property on exposure to calcium hydroxide; therefore, it was not taken into consideration in this review. This review, in total, reports four studies that evaluated fracture resistance and five that evaluated microhardness and one study that considered both parameters. As per this review, it was seen that in majority studies increased exposure of calcium hydroxide to dentin decreased fracture resistance and microhardness, thereby affecting the strength of the tooth on the whole.
This decrease is often elucidated by the alkaline nature of calcium hydroxide that might result in neutralization, dissolution, and degradation of proteins in dentin that are involved in linking collagen fibers to hydroxyapatite crystals. Moreover, Kawamoto et al. hypothesized that the high pH of calcium hydroxide can be one of the paramount factors that cause denaturation and destruction of inorganic content of root dentin and the collagen network making the tooth susceptible to fracture. One of the rational explanations behind the relatively long-term exposure required to bring about a change in mechanical properties is that the collagen fibrils are amalgamated with hydroxyapatite crystals and these are not readily available to calcium hydroxide.
However, further studies are required to understand the mechanism behind the changes in mechanical properties in a manner that closely replicates clinical scenarios.
However, one of the important facts to consider in interpretation of the results from the included in vitro studies is that these do not truly represent clinical situations. This is due to the fact that the amount, type, and manner of force application as performed in in-vitro studies do not replicate the physiological forces that the teeth undergo in a real-life situation. In an in vitro set up, the forces are applied to dentin bars, cylinders, or dentin discs thereby results from these studies may or may not be accurate in recreating a true clinical scenario. Another instance is that teeth function differently within the oral cavity in harmony with specialized periodontium and in vitro studies fail to reproduce such an environment.
Another limitation of the included studies lies in the substantial heterogenicity of the study designs reflected upon by the varied sample size, tooth type, and anatomy and direction, and load of applied force. It is also important to note that in these in vitro setups, microhardness was tested by immersing the dentin discs in testing solutions which is not the case clinically.
The majority of studies included in this review indicated that long-term calcium hydroxide (more than 1 month) negatively affected the fracture resistance and microhardness of dentin in human teeth. Therefore, calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament should be used cautiously in order to ensure the long-term strength of the tooth.

We must get to every party and every movement and scream 'Nullification' from every mountain top until we break the grip and the back of the usurper. (Sorry, I've read so much 240 year old text lately that I'm starting to talk that way.) But seriously, We need to make Nullification as big a deal as possible. It seems to be the only viable way to fight back since all this secession talk has got their attention but really means nothing.

Each relationship is unique, and countless factors influence whether or not it’s a predominantly happy or sad one, just as they determine how long the relationship is going to last. It’s clearly complicated – so how can you predict success or failure? Fortunately, the University of Exeter’s law and medical schools have your back.
They’ve teamed up with plenty of lawyers, relationship counselors, and more to boil it all down to 10 key questions. They are:
1 – Are my partner and I a ‘good fit’?
(Can we work well as a team? Do we have similar values and a similar outlook on life?)
2 – Do we have a strong basis of friendship?
(Do we have fun together? Share interests and humor? Appreciate each other?)
3 – Do we want the same things in our relationship and out of life?
(Do we each feel that we can jointly agree on a plan for our lives together? Can we negotiate?)
4 – Are our expectations realistic?
(Do we accept there will be ups and downs? Understand the need to make an effort?)
5 – Do we generally see the best in each other?
(Can we accept each other’s flaws? Respect our differences?)
6 - Do we both work at keeping our relationship vibrant?
(Do we make time to spend together and spend some time apart? Each show the other that we care?)
7 – Do we both feel we can discuss things freely and raise issues with each other?
(Do we deal with issues promptly and constructively? Enjoy talking and listening to each other?)
8 – Are we both committed to working through hard times?
(Do we both ‘give and take’? Work on ourselves? Look to a positive future together?)
9 – When we face stressful circumstances would we pull together to get through it?
(Can we each adapt well to change? Would we seek professional help if needed?)
10 – Do we each have supportive others around us?
(Do we each have a good support network we can turn to or call on for help if needed?)
The Shackleton Relationships Project – named after its chief funder, the UK solicitor – looked at 43 couples, admittedly not very many, who had either been married for 10 years, or had separated in that time period. They also looked at 10 same-sex and mixed-sex couples that were married, in a civil partnership, or had been otherwise cohabiting for 15 years.
These included interviews conducted with the couples throughout their lives, consultation with practitioners, and finding out through database research what younger people – 11 to 18-year-olds – think is important for relationships.
Some key findings arose, including that thriving relationships of different lengths and types are apparently driven by very similar factors across the board, and such drivers can develop over time. Such variables include the quality of friendship, realistic expectations, an inherent deep meaning to the relationship shared by both parties, being a pragmatic tension diffuser, great communication, compassion – as opposed to just unconditional romantic love – and making sure to anticipate change.
They also found that, outside obviously terrible things like physical and emotional abuse, there were a few flashpoints that proved to be microcosms of the entire relationship. The most commonly cited were the transitioning into parenthood and differing attitudes to financial issues.
Incompatibility, unrealistic expectations, failure to deal with issues, and failure to nurture the relationship were all red flags too. Overall, the team said that their work – not peer-reviewed to be fair – “broadly fits with the academic literature.”
There’s a lot of nuance in there, and you can read the report in full here.
The team of researchers thought it best, however, to transform their findings into the aforementioned questions. If you wish, you and your partner can ask them at the start of or throughout an ideally long-term relationship to gauge how likely it is you will continue to be in a happy partnership.
The long and short of it? As noted by BBC News, "good friends make the best lovers."

Nothing takes care of spring fever like a big blooming poppy and Spring Fever Red Iceland Poppy bursts forth in spring and early summer with fiery red flowers. Officially named Papaver nudicaule ‘Spring Fever Red’, the 2- to 3-inch paper-like flower belies the forbearance of the stalks and striking blooms. Cut and bring some in to brighten up your home with a feverish red flower arrangement.
To add even more interest, Iceland poppy leaves have a hairy look and feel, a nice contrast to the smooth, light petals of the blooms. The stalks of this poppy will rise 10 to 12 inches above the foliage and the plant will spread to nearly 8 inches. It is perennial in zones 3 through 8, and should come back each spring for a few years. Plant these stunners in a mass planting as a field of poppies or with other wildflowers. They also are excellent container plants.
Spring Fever Red Iceland Poppy Care
Plant Spring Fever poppies in a sunny or partly shady spot after all danger of frost has passed. They perform best before temperatures soar, so give them a little afternoon shade in the warmest ends of their hardiness zone. In cooler and more temperate zones, they will flourish and flower until fall. They do best in sandy to fertile soil with some compost added.
Your Iceland poppy does not need frequent watering and only needs irrigation when the weather is dry. There is no need to water the plant while it rests in winter. Add fertilizer once or twice during the growing season if the soil is not very rich. Otherwise, poppies need no fertilizing. Remove flower stems before they turn to seed pods to promote more flowering.
Spring Fever Red Iceland Poppy Spacing
For a poppy field reminiscent of a favored children’s story, plant a bunch of Spring Fever Reds together on a gentle slope or in a large garden bed. Space the plants about 6 to 8 inches apart.

A suspension does not have to be necessary to be lawful, according to the Court of Appeal in Lambeth v Agoreyo.
SA was employed at Glenbrook Primary School in South London (a school maintained by Lambeth Council which was part of a group of schools overseen by an Executive Headteacher) as a Year 2 teacher on a fixed term from 9 November 2012 to 31 August 2013. She had been teaching for 15 years. In her early weeks at the School, three incidents took place involving two children with particular behavioural issues (O and Z). These incidents all involved the use of force by the Respondent to remove one of these two children from the classroom and were witnessed by two different members of staff.
On 19 November 2012 SA dragged Z on the floor out of the classroom door in the presence of another member of staff and the rest of the children, and that child was heard to cry “help me”.
On 3 December 2012, SA was seen to drag O, “very aggressively” a few feet down the corridor whilst shouting at him. The Headteacher provided guidance to SA on how to deal with such incidents and to seek out members of the schools senior staff to avoid the risk of allegations of excessive force.
On 5 December 2012, O was told to leave the classroom after being unable to follow instructions. When O refused, SA was heard to shout “if you don’t walk then I will carry you out!”, after which she proceeded to pick O up. O kicked and screamed in the presence of all the class children. The Headteacher arranged to provide additional support in SA’s classroom.
On 14 December 2012 the Executive Headteacher decided rather than to continue the lenient approach of the Headteacher that it was appropriate to suspend SA to investigate the three incidents. SA resigned that same day.
She subsequently commenced proceedings for breach of contract against Lambeth Council in the County Court rather than the Employment Tribunal. Into all English employment law contracts is implied a term of mutual trust and confidence such that that an employer shall not without reasonable and proper cause, conduct itself in a manner likely to destroy or seriously damage the relationship of confidence and trust between employer and employee. Breaches of such terms constitute repudiatory breaches of contract which employees are entitled to accept by resigning. SA claimed that her suspension was a breach of this implied term.
SA lost in the County Court which found that the School had reasonable and proper cause to suspend so there could be no breach of contract. SA appealed to the High Court and won, with the decision causing alarm to the HR community as it appeared to suggest that a suspension had to be necessary to avoid being a breach of contract. This would have made it much harder to justify suspensions without first having investigations (putting the cart before the horse as the Court of Appeal later described it).
The Council took the case to the Court of Appeal which unanimously overturned the High Court and restored the original ruling. In the process they slapped down the idea that a suspension had to be necessary. The comments by the Court of Appeal that will draw most attention for employment lawyers and HR practitioners are:
“Whether suspension is to be viewed as a neutral act is ultimately not a relevant question nor a particularly helpful one. The crucial question in a case of this type is whether there has been a breach of the implied term of trust and confidence. In the context of suspension that in turn requires consideration to be given to the question whether there was reasonable and proper cause for that suspension. This is a highly fact-specific question. It is not a question of law. Whether or not suspension is described as a “neutral act” is unlikely to assist in resolving what is the crucial question.
An act of suspension can constitute a breach of the implied term where it, by itself or in combination with other acts or omissions, meets the test ……[has there] been conduct by the employer which: (1) destroys or seriously damages the relationship of trust and confidence; and (2) is without reasonable and proper cause. There is no test of “necessity”.”
This case is good news for employers as the focus remains on whether the suspension is reasonable and with proper cause – not whether it was necessary.

Arriving at the beach, she reflected on her life.
Thoughts began to swirl and pound inside her head. Had she made the right decisions for herself? For her children? They were grown now and scattered across the earth like the minnows in a little eddy. So many experiences and made it through each one. Mary lifted her head towards the breeze that was tousling her hair like a lover.
She continued along the shore as delicate shells and beautiful stones decorated her path. Mary took off her shoes and waded into the water. She could feel all her disappointments and hurt being scrubbed away like dead skin. Gathering all her strength, her heart tore through the hardened cocoon. Tears began to run slowly down her reddened cheeks. She had found her home.

This post is a paid collaboration with Crest and Latina Bloggers Connect. All opinions are mine.
These pictures were taken the day before the World Cup games began, which was also the day before my son was scheduled to leave to Philly to be with family. Needless to say, we didn’t get to watch the games together but there have been plenty of calls, texts and Skypes filled with disappointments and cheers alike. Soccer is really the only sport I enjoy so it’s awesome that my son can tell me about games and players, and I actually know what he’s talking about!
The games have been a nail-biting and exciting experience, but what I love the most is how countries and people have come together. I felt so much pride when Ecuador played their hearts out with Alexander Domínguez leaping to stop those goals. However, I have to admit that my overwhelming joy was accompanied with a bit of sadness. You see, I grew up with a lot of tradition brought down to me from my grandparents and great aunts and uncles. And after moving to LA, a lot of that was lost. My son will never know the beauty of seeing grandparents talk over a cup of cafecito, going to la iglesia con los hermanos y hermanas and knowing what it’s like to be surrounded by tías and tíos at Sunday dinner. Sure, I’ve tried to pass down as much as I could to my son but being second and first generation myself from each parent – It’s simply not the same. It was through fútbol that I realized this needed to change, and that I had spent too much time trying to adapt to my new circumstances instead of working harder to make sure my son truly understood where he comes from.
Right now, Crest is at its peak of the Celebrate Closer campaign, which includes posts like this one illustrating that the further your team goes, the closer you get. You definitely want to make sure you’re nice and minty if you’re watching games with family and friends. We have Crest Complete Multi-Benefit Deep Clean toothpaste here at home, and it will definitely do the job.
Although the term “celebrate closer” took a whole other form for me, I think it clearly shows the power of the World Cup. Seeing brands like Crest online celebrating with everyone was pretty darn cool, and I’m all for companies who are human. Check out this video and celebrate with them too!
Want to save money? Crest has you covered too! Grab yourself a few coupons and stay in touch with them on Twitter. AND, if you’re free tomorrow evening, join us for the #CelebrateCloser Twitter Party at 5pm PT/8pm ET. RSVP HERE!

Ah, the meaning given by a definition is in the mind of the reader,
not the writer.
One problem we have had with the term 'cover' was that it could be
interpreted as the 'skin' or outer enclosure of the printer. Door has
the appropriate connotation of referring to an openable aperture in
the printer, but suggests a vertical hung hinged cover. I certainly
would not restrict door to the "mechanical insides of a device", since
it can open to electronics, toner, paper, whatever.
The MIB does appear to use cover and door interchangably, and we
should clarify that that is intended (if it is intended).
I would suggest something like:
" Cover or Door: The covering to an opening in the printer enclosure
which may be removed or opened to provide access to an area or object
within the printer. A Cover or door open condition may be sensed; if
sensed, the cover open condition may act as an interlock with to
inhibit printer processes or operations which should not be performed
with the cover open."
I would say that an interlock involves sensing a condition as a
prerequisite to allowing some printer operation which might involve
danger, damage, or even just deteriorated quality if the required
condition is not met. An interlock condition could be that a
particular door were closed. But it does not have to be an open door
or even a mechanical irregularity. Some printers would use a toner out
indication to inhibit further printing. This, to me, is also an
interlock since there was no inherent reason why the imaging process
could not be performed. I would even regard a operator's key provision
as an interlock if the key must be in place to print.

So I am trying to explain the common printer mib some native Japanese speakers.
This experience is truely an eye opener; some of the phrases that we use to
describe the system don't translate well.
Currently I seem to have a problem with door and interlock and, unfortunately,
1759 does not define the terms. Can anyone supply a good definition of the
A "door" is something that protects the mechanical insides of a device.
An "interlock" connects two components of a device or two devices. An example
of an interlock is mechanical latch on an optional sorter that connects the
base printer with the sorter.

Piano, Guitar, String, Brass, Drums, Voice, and Ballet lessons taught in Christian atmosphere.
Love the classes!!! My son is doing great with Austin
My daughter took voice lessons here. Rhonda established a rapport with my daughter right away and began to work on her breathing. My daughter really enjoyed her lessons and gained confidence in singing. Registration was easy, and lessons were offered at a convenient time. We were very pleased with the school.
Our daughter has always left feeling encouraged and anticipating her next ballet practice.
It was a very positive atmosphere with lots of hands on and the teachers were positive and complimented the students weekly and it came from their heart!! The recital was awesome and very rewarding to see the different levels and how the students grew from the beginning until the end of their lessons. The recognition and reception afterwards really showed us how much the teachers spent with their students.
Students should contact us to talk about what lessons that they are interested in and the availability for those lessons. We offer piano, guitar, stringed instruments, brass, drums, voice, ballet and more.

To unzip the blanket of fat encasing the body and step free is the fantasy of many overweight people. For a few people, though, life without that layer of fat is a sobering and not very pleasant reality. They are the victims of a disease called lipodystrophy, which strips the body of fat either in just a few areas, or everywhere.
THE CLAIM -- Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. THE FACTS -- For many Americans, it might be the last thing they heard from their parents while bolting out the door for school each morning. But the notion that eating breakfast is a must, studies show, is not simply a tired adage. Experts say a proper meal each morning can help ward off disease.
PATRICIA HIGH-EDO and her daughter Jasmine Edo both play the violin and love to sing. Jasmine's sport of choice is volleyball, as was her mother's when she was younger. Mother and daughter enjoy movies and traveling together. They particularly love to shop; their taste in fashion and their sizes are close enough that they can trade clothes. Now they also share something that neither wants: diabetes. For four years, Ms. High-Edo, 42, of Cambridge, Mass., has had diabetes, a metabolic disorder in which the body produces too little insulin to control blood sugar levels. For all that time, Jasmine has known that she was also at risk. The blotchy discoloration on the skin around her neck was a telltale sign.
How sweet it is. I'm referring to the American diet, replete with sweet foods and drinks, commercially sweetened cereals, sodas, fruit drinks and ''ades,'' ice cream, cake, muffins, cookies and candy, as well as naturally sweet fruits and fruit juices. We are all born liking a sweet taste, perhaps to stimulate a desire for breast milk, which is naturally sweet, or ripe edible fruit. These foods are excellent sources of nutrients that support growth and good health. Indeed, as the American Dietetic Association points out in a new position paper on sweeteners, ''By increasing palatability of nutrient-dense foods/beverages, sweeteners can promote diet healthfulness.''
Identifying patients with metabolic syndrome -- a relatively new term for a cluster of health problems -- is far more effective than looking at weight alone as a way of predicting heart attack risks, a study released yesterday says. Patients are considered to have metabolic syndrome if they have three or more of these problems: obesity centered around the waist; high blood pressure; low levels of the good cholesterol; difficulty metabolizing blood sugar; and high levels of triglycerides, which are related to cholesterol.
The Genzyme Corporation, a maker of treatments for rare hereditary diseases, lost an appeals court decision in its legal battle with Transkaryotic Therapies over drugs for a rare metabolic disorder. The ruling comes less than a day after the companies said they had agreed to end the dispute. The Federal Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington upheld a ruling that Transkaryotic did not infringe on a patent related to the enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of Fabry disease. Fabrazyme from Genzyme is the only drug with federal regulatory approval to treat the disease, although Transkaryotic sells a rival product, Replagal, in Europe. Late yesterday, the companies said that they had agreed to end their patent litigation. Genzyme agreed to withdraw the lawsuit over Replagal. In return, Transkaryotic agreed that it would not sue Genzyme for patent infringement over Aldurazyme, Genzyme's treatment for another disorder.
Q. A neighbor lost her husband to a brain infection called fungal cerebral mucormycosis. What is it? A. Luckily this is a rare problem; it comes from certain kinds of very common funguses that may be inhaled or swallowed by almost anyone anywhere. In a few susceptible people, the funguses may take hold of the lining of the mouth or nasal tract, or mucosa, and multiply, moving in a very short time to the brain and sometimes to other organs by way of the bloodstream.
Heart experts would like doctors and patients to stop focusing just on bad cholesterol and start thinking about ''metabolic syndrome,'' a cluster of warning signs that new research shows is far more accurate in predicting the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Under recently revised and simplified guidelines, patients are considered to have metabolic syndrome if they have three of the following five conditions: abdominal obesity; high levels of trigyclerides, a fatlike substance in the blood; low levels of good cholesterol; high blood sugar levels; and high blood pressure.
Despite widespread belief among both doctors and lay people that cerebral palsy results from lack of oxygen to the baby's brain during labor and delivery, a new report says that birth asphyxia alone accounts for 10 percent of cases at most. The study found that the vast majority of children who develop cerebral palsy experience prenatal problems, including maternal infections, clotting disorders and strokes, that damage the developing brain long before labor begins.
It may seem hard to believe that a disorder first identified nearly 70 years ago that affects as many as 10 percent of women would still be unrecognized by many doctors and in most of those who have it. But that is the case with a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, a bodywide metabolic disorder characterized by abnormal hormone levels that can result in distressing and sometimes life-threatening problems, including infertility, obesity, acne, excessive facial and body hair, diabetes, heart disease and uterine cancer.
