Gratitude has become popular as a practice to remind us to live in the moment, one day at a time, and appreciate all we have — in turn making us realize we have all we need.
Gratitude journals and other types of gratitude practice are helping people live their best lives, but one Fargo woman is taking it to another level. Living each day in what she terms “Gratitude Nirvana,” Trina Michels turns ordinary life into extraordinary.
Trina lives gratitude. She embodies it. She exudes it. Spend a few minutes with her, and you’ll feel it.
A pragmatic, practical person, Trina has applied an ideology to her gratitude practice — a method by which to actually gauge your gratitude to determine where you are among four gratitude levels.
Trina’s current relationship with gratitude didn’t start off that way. It’s taken a journey to get her there.
Gratitude grows up
Trina explains that she used to think practicing gratitude was for bad situations. She thought she could take a step back, slap on some rose-tinted glasses for a moment, then keep ongoing. Situation transformed, right? The new attitude of gratitude, right?
Not so much. It was fake gratitude.
“I came to think gratitude was stupid,” Trina confessed. “I thought it was this big fluffy emotion — this idea that you’re standing in the midst of all of this rubble, and you just take some rainbows and slap them over your eyes. What I came to realize over my journey is that gratitude is having the strength to be able to sift through the rubble in order to find the precious gift that is in there. And that gift doesn’t have to be perfect, but it’s priceless.”
What Trina hadn’t realized was that gratitude was part of who she had always been. She’d once taken a Predictive Index test, which pegged her as effusive. For the longest time, she didn’t delve into what that meant for her. Turns out, it is in her core makeup to express feelings of gratitude in an unrestrained and heartfelt manner. Realizing that, Trina decided that gratitude wasn’t stupid, but had been a vital part of herself.
“Gratitude has always been a part of my life,” Trina reflected. “I got away from it for a period of time because I thought I needed to be someone else.”
Looking back, Trina sees that even when she was a child, gratitude was always present, even if it looked and sounded different than it does now. She remembers her father often saying, “You should be thankful for what you have because it could be worse.”
As she became older, her gratitude shifted to what Trina calls “comparative gratitude” — when you need to compare your life to someone else’s in order to feel thankful.
“I could find myself being grateful,” she remembers, “as long as I could keep my focus on someone who had less than me — but that was outside of myself. It wasn’t intrinsic.”
Gratitude that grips
When Trina went through the United Way of Cass Clay’s 35 Under 35 program, she was introduced to and impacted by the book "The Artist Way" by Julia Cameron. She continued on to "The Vein of Gold, "also by Cameron.
“The whole point of The Vein of Gold is to find something that has continuity in your life,” Trina explains. Trina consciously decided gratitude was that one continuous thing for her — but at the time, she was experiencing what she refers to as “gripping gratitude,” which she describes as desperately holding on and trying to be happy about what you have, because it could all be taken away from you at any moment.
In 2009, there was a point when Trina thought her marriage was over.
“Who I was at that point in my life was a person who would change whatever I could about myself, not being true to myself, in order to keep the promise I made in my marriage vows. Over the years I couldn’t understand how I could be so disconnected from myself. I was so happy in my job, and I was so happy with my friends, yet I was so unhappy in my marriage, but I was still committed to that promise.”
Trina and her husband decided to make their marriage work. When her daughter was born, Trina remembers holding her in her arms and thinking, “Oh, my gosh, I could have missed out on this!”
She found herself gripping everything she had in her life, trying to hold on. One of the analogies she uses is that of a weight bar.
“As more and more blessings came into my life, it became harder and harder for me to hang on,” Trina said. “It was as if when each good thing came, I became more and more concerned about it falling off or going away. I was always focused on how much I could lose.”
In 2016, Trina’s father passed away after a battle with cancer. She was still gripping, holding on to all she had left — her marriage, her daughter, and now a son, too. The next year, Trina and her husband separated, which led to divorce. It was then that Trina finally realized, “I can only be me.”
The day Trina knew for certain that her marriage was over, she needed her mom. She found out her mother was with the support group Beginning Experience, a group for those who are divorced or widowed. They were having a social at a restaurant downtown.
“I drove to the restaurant downtown, walked in, found my mom and said, ‘I need to talk to you.’”
Trina and her mom stood outside the restaurant doors on Broadway. Trina told her mom the news and proceeded to fall apart.
Her mother invited her back into the restaurant.
“There I was among 30 other people who were all on the other side of losing their primary person in their relationship,” Trina remembered. “There was no better place I possibly could have been that night. It was fate.”
Her mother, Helen Franck, recalled how it was the perfect place for her daughter to be at that moment.
“Trina was definitely in the right place at the right time,” Helen said. “She was surrounded by people who were proof that life goes on. And now she’s one of those people. She’s a great mom with a zest for life and takes everything in stride.”
Cultivating 'gratitude attitude'
Before that day, Trina felt as though she had been gripping everything. She learned that in order to find what she calls the fourth stage of gratitude, “gratitude nirvana,” you have to take time to reflect on your life, because when we’re in it, we can’t see it.
She remembers that night vividly.
“When I reflect back on that evening, I saw all of these people that were okay, even with their own loss,” she said.
After Trina’s divorce was finalized, she remembers that even though she didn’t know what would happen next, she felt everything would work out.
“I didn’t know how, but I knew in the depths of my heart that I was going to be okay,” she said, “even though everything had suddenly changed. I felt as though I had lost half of my life — I had spent 17 of my 34 years in that relationship. And now half the time I thought I was going to have with my children was suddenly wiped out with the signature of a judge.”
Fast forward to six weeks after her divorce. Trina was with her daughter as she ran off the soccer field. In the distance was a double rainbow. Her daughter looked up at her and said, “Look that beautiful, rare moment.”
Trina says the words that came out of her mouth in response didn’t even feel as if they were her own: “Yes, Ruth, whatever you look for in life is what you are going to find. If you look for beautiful moments, you will find them in more places than you can imagine.”
After Trina put her kids to bed that night, she sat on her couch, and suddenly remembered something she had wanted to do: make a picture book from Instagram photos. But first, she had to create the content.
“I decided I was going to post something beautiful I experienced each day,” she recalls. This was how she was going to weave gratitude into her daily life. This was how she would live gratitude — always paying attention, looking for that special moment to capture each day.
That night, Trina posted a picture to Instagram of Ruth on the soccer field, with the double rainbow in the background. She shared it to Facebook. She added the hashtag #gratitudeattitude.
And that was the beginning.
“I didn’t do it for reaction or followers, just for me and my healing,” she explained. “Over the course of time, people reached out to me to tell them about how my posts affected them. One person said a year later, ‘I just have to tell you how much I love the #gratitudeattitudes. Your posts always make me smile and puts things into perspective.’”
People shared with Trina that her posts helped them to stop and see the beauty in life.
“We get to create the world we live in and sometimes we forget that we can have an influence,” says Trina.
Kirsten Jensen, a friend of Trina’s who knew her when she went through her divorce remembers being in awe of Trina as she “gracefully” handled her divorce.
“Trina saw the beauty in the small moments during the most difficult time of her life,” Kirsten says. “I found it so inspirational and continue to find inspiration as I see her impact others.”
Kirsten was equally impressed when she saw Trina tell her story to a large audience at a recent FMWF Chamber Women Connect event.
“I was really thankful for how vulnerable she was when she shared her stories. It would have been easy for her to be academic about gratitude, but to know the profound impact for her in a time that was so difficult, gave so much hope to her message and so much impact,” explains Kirsten.
Reflecting on her journey, Trina clearly sees how her path took her through four phases of gratitude: Cautious, Comparative, Gripping, and finally, Nirvana.
Four stages of gratitude
- Cautious: The thought of “It could be worse” and expecting that perspective to cause gratitude
- Comparative: Comparing your life to someone else’s in an effort to feel better about your own
- Gripping: Trying to find gratitude by holding on to all you have and hoping it won’t all fall apart
- Nirvana: A genuine feeling of gratitude without fear or comparison
Trina travels often for her job as a senior manager at Eide Bailly. Recently, she was on a plane and as usual, struck up a conversation with the person seated next to her. The woman Trina encountered was struggling with her bag, telling Trina she had injured her ankle and hand in an ATV accident.
“Thank goodness I still have my right hand,” the woman explained. “I need to do all I can with what I still have.”
Trina, ever-experienced in gratitude, recognized this stage as gripping. The woman was holding on to what she still had.
A cautious gratitude example would be if she had said, “At least I only hurt my ankle and hand. I could have lost so much more!”
A comparative gratitude stage would have her saying, “Some people don’t even survive these sorts of accidents! I am lucky to be here.”
What would nirvana look like? “My injury provided me an opportunity to accept help and has brought new people into my life!”
Gratitude in practice
Gratitude is about the whole person — There is a difference between celebrating record-breaking sales and applauding a caring and helpful spirit.
Gratitude is not one-size-fits-all — Like love languages, there are many different forms of gratitude languages. Learn them.
Gratitude must be embraced by leaders — it cannot be forced, as that is not genuine gratitude, but it can be planted.
Make gratitude a daily activity — There is consistency in practice.

The Old Country? How did it smell? Sound? Was it as unified and cosy as the proponents of Heritage Travel would have us believe? Was there really a strong sense of community? Did Chagall’s phantom figures tap their toes to the familiar tunes of Fiddler on the Roof? Or was it another place altogether.
In nineteenth century Eastern Europe, Jewish life was ruled by Hasidic rebbes or the traditional Mitnagdim, and religious law dictated every aspect of daily life. Secular books were forbidden; independent thinkers were threatened with moral rebuke, magical retribution, expulsion and excommunication. But the Maskilim, proponents of the Haskalah or Jewish Enlightenment, were determined to create a modern Jew, to found schools where children could learn science, geography, languages and history.
Born in 1826 in Zbarazh, Galicia (now Ukraine), Benjamin Wolf Ehrenkranz received a traditional Jewish education, and all expected he would become an important rabbi. However, after obtaining forbidden Haskalah literature, he hid under the synagogue steps, pursued secular studies in secret. Sensing a change in his son, Velvel’s father decided to arrange a marriage: a wife and children would surely tie this wayward son to home and duty. But only a few days after the wedding, Ehrenkranz abandoned his bride, his home, and headed for Romania.
Now an exile, he changed his name to Velvel Zbarzher, began writing politically incorrect poems, singing them in bars and wine cellars, gaining a vast, loyal audience of workers, craftsmen and intellectuals. Hard-drinking, outspoken, he shared what he earned with the poor, but his direct attacks on the Hasidim and the anti-Semitic Romanian government resulted in banishment and itinerancy.
By the time Velvel died in Constantinople in 1883, the Haskalah had triumphed, and the modern Jew had been created. But modernization and assimilation hadn’t brought an end to anti-Semitism. New movements to promote social equality appeared—Zionism, Anarchism, Bundism—and they travelled to the New World along with a love of Yiddish literature and theatre.
A Contrary Journey with Velvel Zbarzher, Bard
will be published by Claret Press in October, 2021

EU honey producers facing ‘distressing market situation’
European honey producers are sounding the alarm in the face of a distressing market situation and calling for an emergency action plan to be put in place.
The European honey producers and Copa-Cogeca members have launched an appeal from Brussels to the European authorities in order get a strong and rapid response. This call is accompanied by an action plan proposing concrete measures to allow for more than 650,000 European beekeepers to keep their heads above water.
According to the groups, there has been no hike in prices following the drop in honey production in the main producing and exporting countries in the south and east of the EU, which was caused by poor climatic conditions.
Etienne Bruneau, Chair of the Copa-Cogeca Working Party on Honey, said: “If the market situation does not improve, the European beekeepers who derive a significant part of their income from beekeeping will not be able to continue. This threatens the existence of more than 10 million beehives throughout the EU. Yet, beekeeping and the pollination services it provides, together with wild pollinators, are essential for European farming and horticulture as well as biodiversity. This situation therefore threatens other sectors in addition to our own.”

World No.3 Andy Murray will try to turn up the heat when he faces rising and unpredictable Australian Bernard Tomic in his Miami Masters opener.
Tomic booked a second-round showdown with the reigning US Open champion with a 7-5 7-6 (7-3) victory over France's Marc Gicquel.
Murray, who trains in Miami in December and buried his Australian Open finals disappointment by putting in more time last month in South Florida with coach Ivan Lendl, won his only previous meeting with Tomic last year in Brisbane.
But no one knows which Tomic will show up at Crandon Park: the dedicated striver or the 45th-ranked slacker.
"I'll see, obviously, when I play against him. I haven't seen him play that much outside of Australia the last year or so," Murray said after enjoying a first-round bye.
"He's a very, very talented player. He makes it tough for everyone. He's got a very unorthodox game."
Murray has the second seeding at the event behind Novak Djokovic in the absence of Roger Federer, who is training, and Rafael Nadal, who is resting his knees after winning Indian Wells last week in California.
The Scot says just because the multiple grand slam champions are out of the mix is no reason for others to let their guard down.
"It's not every tournament where you have to play against Nadal and Federer. Sometimes they lose early or whatever," Murray said.
"You need to make sure that you get into a position in the event where you would have to play them, which is normally in the semi-finals or finals. But, for sure, not as difficult if you don't have two of the best players ever playing in a tournament."
Murray expressed satisfaction with the deal hammered out this week by the ATP with the US Open, which will boost 2017 prize money to $US50 million ($48.42 million) and do away with the controversial Monday finals, which will still be staged this year and next, presumeabely, at the behest of television rights holders.
Murray called it "a big step forward" in purses.
"Players are very valuable to the events, and I think now the prize money is starting to reflect that," he said.
"All the conversations at the ATP, and the players have been having with the USTA and the guys that run the US Open, have been beneficial and have been very positive. It's good that things are moving in the right direction."
In the women's event in Miami, world No.1 Serena Williams, a five-times winner playing for the first time in a month after withdrawing in Dubai and skipping Indian Wells, beat Italy's Flavia Pennetta 6-1 6-1.
Holder and fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Taiwan's Hsieh Su-Wei 6-3 6-2, while China's fifth seed Li Na, playing for the first time since the Australian Open final, produced a 6-3 6-1 win over Kiki Bertens.
Czech seventh seed Petra Kvitova rallied past China's Peng Shuai 5-7 6-2 6-2.

I was still immersed in this idea of leaving traces of my life behind when I went to an exhibition of William Kentridge. As a South African, who lived through the apartheid era, his work is highly political. His approach captures the ephemeral and impermanent nature of life. Rather than starting with a clear idea of what he wants to create he allows the image to emerge through the relationship between his mediums – often charcoal or Indian ink on paper.
Drawing is the basis of what he does. It is about the simple use of charcoal or Indian ink on paper, but also about the sense of not having a script or a storyboard, he says. ”And it’s the same when you’re making a film. Letting something develop organically, in this constant backwards and forwards from the material that’s drawn and what could still be drawn on top of it.” (downloaded on 28/04/2012 from http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/drawn-hung-and-courted-20120307-1ukbs.html#ixzz1tVQIjQgY
Kentridge’s way of creating moving images is to make a drawing and then photograph it, alter the drawing, re-photograph it and repeat the sequence scores of times, shifting figures or objects by small increments and copious erasures. The movement of anything leaves an ominous trace, as the presence in a previous location has to be rubbed out, which is never perfectly achieved.

His method of erasing what has gone before and applying the new image on top of the trace of what is left behind resonates very powerfully with what emerged for me through the creation of this small story book.

Motorola is seemingly functioning to bring three G series phones in 2018. Creative analyst Evan Blass has claimed that the Play variants will arrival to Moto G series next year. These phones, going by the rumors, are going to be the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus, and the Moto G6 Play. Even though the Lenovo Company is yet to give any statement about the G6 series lineup as of now, a tweet by Evan Blass reveals certain information about its coming.
To recall, the last time when Motorola launched a Play variant of a G series was when it announced the G4 Play. The Moto G4 Play has seen as a toned down version of Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus. Moto G5S Plus is as well the first edition in the series to claim dual rear cameras, with two 13 Megapixel sensors and dual LED flash. It is probably the Lenovo Company will maintain the dual camera trend in its all upcoming Moto series.
Moto G6 series: Price and release date
According to Venture Evan Blass tweet, he does not mention the cost or launch date of the Moto G6 play, G 6, G6 plus series, and they possibly won’t for the particular time, but there’s a chance they’ll launch in the upcoming months. According to Venture Beat’s Evan Blass, all three new phones in the G6 lineup the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus, and Moto G6 Play series will go on sale in 2018. If history is any indication, they’ll likely debut in spring. The Moto G5 and G5 Plus were announced at Mobile World Congress in February and shipped to Asian and European territories the following month.
Moto G6 series: Specifications
1.The Moto G6 series will lineup’s hardware remainders just as much a mystery as its model. Qualcomm’s in recent times exposed Snapdragon 636 system on chip looks like a solid competitor for the Moto G6 Plus.
2.Its numerous stages from the Snapdragon 630, the CPU that powers the Moto G5 Plus and it’s knowingly additional powerful.
3.Qualcomm says the onboard Adreno 509 graphics chip is 10 % faster than the Snapdragon 630’s GPU.
4.It supports screen technologies like Assertive Display, which optimizes the brightness for ambient lighting conditions.
5.If the Moto G6 Plus were to use the Snapdragon 636, it could mean faster transfers, a better camera, and louder, crisper speakers.
6.Qualcomm’s chip ships with the X12 LTE modem, which has a peak download speed of 600Mbps, and Qualcomm’s Spectra 160 ISP, which supports cameras up to 24 megapixels and zero shutter lag.
7.It has Qualcomm’s Aqstic audio onboard, which supports Hi-Fi audio up to 192KHz/24-bit and the ability to play back lossless audio files.
Moto G6 series: Design
Everyone expecting the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus series has the unchanged screen dimensions as the previous G edition of Moto G5 and G5 Plus. The previous is 5 inches, and the latter is 5.2 inches, and both parts are the same Full HD (1920p x 1080p) resolution. If the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus, and Moto G6 Play are in possession with the G series’ visual, there’s a pretty decent chance they’ll have a fingerprint sensor on the front, and a circular camera part on the back, and a glass and plastic body that isn’t waterproof.

PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. – Jonathan Slye, the CEO of Purpose Driven Events and organizer of the Blue Ridge Rock and Country Festivals, is speaking out after the two events left ticketholders frustrated.
It’s his first television interview since before September’s Rock Fest, and you’ll only find it on 10 News.
“I really wanted to make sure that I could connect with all the different departments, connect with everything, and get all the information together soundly before I was ready to come forward,” said Slye.
The latest issue involved the Blue Ridge Country Festival, originally scheduled for Oct. 1-3, and now postponed until May 2022.
Slye claims the main reason is that Southside health officials encouraged him to take the precaution, with hospitals and other treatment centers at capacity due to COVID-19.
“Ultimately, that was why a mutual decision was reached, that we would be much safer off to postpone to a later date,” said Slye.
Pittsylvania County spokesperson, Caleb Ayers, tells us Slye informed them of the postponement on Sept. 22, and they approved a statement from Purpose Driven Events stating that local health leaders urged the postponement.
Meanwhile, frustration grew over conflicting reports on whether Slye had the proper permits for the festival.
Slye says he received a letter from the county on Sept. 21 saying permits had been rescinded.
County leaders declined a 10 News request for an interview but released a statement saying the permits were “conditionally approved” in June with the stipulation that Syle’s company submits completed plans.
Slye says he was thrown off by the letter, which required seven elements.
“Two of those elements were brand new, the first time we’d ever seen them. [For] the remaining five, the vast majority had been completed. We had been in consistent communication with the county and information was together,” said Slye, who provided documentation to 10 News to show his attempt at finalizing plans.
The county’s Sept. 21 letter also said the company was past due on paying the meals tax for their previous rock and worship festivals.
According to the ordinance on the county’s website, that deadline is Oct. 20.
The county’s spokesperson tells 10 News this was, in fact, a miscommunication and that the meals tax from those festivals was paid.
Slye released a statement regarding the past due bills on Tuesday, saying:
Purpose Driven Events will pay all costs actually accrued by the county. We are examining the specifics of all charges, and are working to ensure that this matter is resolved to mutual satisfaction. The County is still holding six figures in liquid cash that we provided to them directly. The amount they are holding more than supersedes the amount we have been billed. Blue Ridge Rock Festival has already made an impact of over $23 million on the local municipality this year through a seven figure investment in local businesses, nearly a million dollars in hotel reservations, as well as substantial tax revenue, permitting fees, over 1,300 employees or contractors, and overall commerce generated from bringing tens of thousands to the local area.
We’ve requested additional information from Pittsylvania County through the Freedom of Information Act and are waiting to hear back.
10 News will air part two of the interview on Wednesday, Oct. 13th. Syle will discuss what happened with the rock festival and who is to blame.

It is a rare feat to feel genuinely welcomed into someone’s home over the phone, let alone by two people you’ve never met. Yet the Covid-19 lockdown made a planned trip to the home of Italian furniture designer Dalila Formentini and her Irish artist husband Sean Shanahan in Lecco, near Lake Como in northern Italy, an illegal passage.
So instead, we found ourselves on a WhatsApp call earlier this summer. Fortunately their conversation is as vibrant as the colour palette that defines the former silk factory they call home. “We started it and just did it – there has never been a second of doubt,” says Sean. From the pop-pink floors and wallpaper he handpainted in the hall to the jungle-green chimney breast and the unapologetically all-white summer dining room, their home evokes a sense of joy.
Dalila’s charming Italian tones and Sean’s considerate (if tongue-in-cheek) translations are regularly interrupted by the pair breaking off to roar with laughter or by giggling admissions that they’ve found themselves a little too fond of vodka martinis while in isolation.
Dalila’s coated-iron tables can be found in every corner of this statement yet serene escape. She started designing the tables because she couldn’t find what she wanted: something formal and informal that works as well outside as inside. “The principal impetus is to make things, live with them and see if they work,” she says.
The tables are offset by Sean’s own commanding block-colour paintings, which hang in every room – the first time the celebrated artist has ever lived with his own work. “Dalila insisted we put the paintings in the house and as a consequence of that our home is a constant negotiation between us.”
There is nothing affected about this space. Sean says that he “wouldn’t be seen dead” living in a designer house where it feels as if the “air has been designed”. On the contrary, in this five-bedroom house, 20 miles north of Milan, there is what they describe as an easiness.
“It’s not absurdly large – the rooms aren’t massive, so we can live in an intimate way,” says Sean. “We’re not trying to demonstrate anything here; we’re just trying to live. We know it’s an odd thing, but we were surprised that it was communicable to other people.”
The house is the former home of a wealthy textile boss called Signor Mondini, who was famed for his philandering ways and lived here in “varying states of undress,” says Sean. Mondini industrialised the “once-posh” villa at the turn of the 19th century and ran his silk factory on the other side of what is now the couple’s courtyard. Architecturally, the building stands apart from other houses in the area, mostly traditional villas built by rich Italians who moved into the area in the 18th century, attracted by its beauty and close proximity to the Lombardy capital.
Before the couple became its custodians in 2012, the villa had been abandoned for five years. Having lived in both central Milan and the countryside previously, the couple “took the behemoth on” and, apart from the roof, “did everything” before moving in. Officially the restoration-cum-revamp took them about a year, “but we’re always doing something”, laughs Sean. “Just when you think it’s safe to stop, Dalila has an idea and we start all over again.” He says later, “I’m just her assistant, I promise you,” to more laughter. “She is the one with taste. I’ve always thought that, as an artist, I can’t afford to have taste, so whatever is tasteful here is hers.”
Their combined aesthetic is a diverse mix of flea-market finds, treasured family heirlooms, designer purchases and things that they just like. A pair of bright orange Gae Aulenti bedside lamps brings a warm glow to one of the bedrooms; chairs by Luigi Caccia Dominioni sit proudly in the dining room and, elsewhere, a vintage 1930s cabinet that houses the couple’s collection of Japanese dishes stands beside a green swivel chair from Ikea.
“My life and style are a mishmash,” says Dalila. “It’s actually a question of throwing things out,” says Sean, “but some things have gained such affection and Dalila is very sensitive to all this stuff.” A case in point is an 18th-century tea set depicting rich Milanese women. “Adoro!” purrs Dalila. “Fortunately, ceramics cost a lot less than jewellery, which is handy,” jokes Sean.
The only thing that is off limits is black. “We don’t always get it right with colour, but then we laugh about it,” says Sean. “Luckily we have a very forgiving painter.” The main thing, they agree, “was to do something that was just ours. There’s nothing worse than being predictable or obvious. It happens very naturally. The colours call out to us. It’s a friendly house, the spirit is very positive.”

When they are very young, choosing clothes for our kids is easy. We can dress them in outfits that we think are cute and they never offer an argument.
As they get a bit older, however, and develop their own opinions, wardrobe selection can be a bit more difficult.
As they approach their teenage years, most children look at fashion as a means of self-expression and do not welcome their parents’ input. Since their choices are sometimes viewed as inappropriate by mum and dad, however, some conflict is inevitable.
When Do Conflicts Begin?
A generation ago, parent/child disagreements about wardrobe usually started just before or just as the kids became teenagers. These days, however, kids are fashion savvy much younger.
Elementary school aged kids are feeling the influences of pop singers and are already trying to emulate them. Since many of these celebrity examples are anything but conservative in their wardrobe selections, most parents naturally object to their pre-teen children wearing similar attire.
Setting ground rules regarding fashion can be difficult, but it is important for parents to set the guidelines for younger children and to stick to them.
Elementary school aged kids are not yet ready to decide what is and is not appropriate regarding fashion – that responsibility lies with their parents. Kids can have some say in what they wear, of course, but the final word needs to come from the parents.
School Dress Codes
Many, if not all schools have a written dress code policy in place, which can take the pressure off of parents in choosing school attire. Increasing numbers of schools are choosing to implement a school uniform policy, with strict guidelines for appropriate school clothes.
Most schools choose plain pants or skirts teamed with either button-down shirts or a more casual polo type top. Although some parents object to school uniforms, many find that asking the kids to dress in similar fashion makes it easier to avoid battles about expensive designer clothes or clothing that the parents feel isn’t age appropriate.
The Teenage Years
Whenever possible, try to compromise with your teenage children about wardrobe. For more important things, like school performance or drug use, it is worth standing your ground, but in the big scheme of things, the type of clothing that your teen wears is really not that important.
Allow your teenager a bit of freedom to choose wardrobe for casual events and for socialising with their friends, while asking that they dress more to your liking for special family events such as weddings and Christenings.
Most teenagers will comply with your guidelines if you try and respect the fact that they will soon be adults, and as such, should have a considerable say in how they dress.
Establishing rules together and talking about why fashion is important can help both parents and teenagers to come to a reasonable understanding. Sometimes, all that teens really need is the sense that they are not being controlled by their parents.
Most of us can vividly remember being teenagers – those years are marked by a yearning to be independent and to be allowed to express our individuality.
Parents of every generation have expressed objections to their teenagers’ fashion choices, but most times, a little give on each side is all that it takes to happily coexist.
Some parents find that it works well to allow teen fashion choices that are temporary, such as clothing selections, hairstyle, make-up, and hair colour, to be made solely by their teenage children, while they retain the right to forbid anything permanent, such as tattoos or piercings.
The important thing is that both sides get the chance to express themselves and feel that their opinions are being heard and respected.

Broncos centre Kotoni Staggs is “unlikely” to play again this NRL season after picking up an MCL injury in Friday’s win over the Cowboys.
The 22-year-old went in for scans on Saturday, which confirmed he had suffered a high-grade MCL injury in the same knee that he injured last season.
“We expect it to be a straightforward recovery over coming weeks and Kotoni is keen to get into his rehab as soon as he can,” Broncos head of performance Dave Ballard said in a statement released Saturday.
The outlook isn’t as bleak for Staggs’ Broncos teammate Jake Turpin, who is set to miss “a few weeks” with an ankle sprain.
The Brisbane hooker is still a chance to feature again in the side’s 2021 campaign.
After enjoying a strong season in 2020, Staggs has managed only four games for Brisbane this year.
While recovering from an ACL injury suffered late last season, Staggs signed a four-year deal to remain at the Broncos until at least the end of 2025.
He knocked back interest from rival clubs to ink a new deal with Brisbane worth a reported $700,000 per season.
Staggs’ hotly anticipated comeback from injury was delayed by a suspension for “disreputable conduct” relating to an incident at a public venue in April.
He finally returned to the fray in round 16, more than nine months after he had last played in the top flight.

Despite his limited appearances in season 2021, Staggs has earned the admiration of new Broncos coach Kevin Walters, who praised the star centre after Friday’s win over the Cowboys.
“He’s been very good for us. He just brings a lot of confidence to not only the players but also the coaching staff as well. He’s just a good player,” Walters told reporters on Friday night.
There has been speculation Staggs could line up in the halves alongside marquee recruit Adam Reynolds next season.
Earlier this year, Staggs said he would likely need a full pre-season at five-eighth in order to switch into the role but given the strong form of recently re-signed playmaker Tyson Gamble, a shift to the halves is no certainty for the gun centre.
The Broncos put in their best performance of the season on Friday night as they outmuscled intrastate rivals North Queensland to the tune of 37-18.
The win has all but ensured that Brisbane will not finish as wooden spooners for a second-year running; the cellar-dwelling Bulldogs would have to win at least half of their remaining games to avoid that most undesirable piece of silverware.

I never thought that two simple words could have such a profound effect on me. "Onii-chan." Just hearing those words escape your lips, Kanjo Yan, sends my heart racing and fills me with a warmth that I can't quite describe. It's like being enveloped in a cocoon of love and affection, knowing that you see me as more than just your older brother.
The Power of Sibling Bonds
Our relationship goes beyond the traditional boundaries of brother and sister. We share a deep connection that transcends mere familial ties. From the moment you were born, Yan, I knew there was something special between us. As we grew up together, our bond only strengthened with each passing day.
A Secret Love
The world may see us as siblings, but behind closed doors, we are so much more than that. Our love is kept hidden from prying eyes, known only to us alone. When we're together in our own little bubble of affection and desire, nothing else matters except for the intense emotions swirling between us.
Your Adorable Nature
Yan...you are truly one-of-a-kind. Your mischievous grin never fails to brighten my day or get me caught up in whatever trouble you've concocted this time around. Your childish antics bring out my protective instincts even more strongly – after all, it's my duty as your Onii-chan to keep you safe and happy at all times.
Addiction to You
I must admit...I am addicted to you in every sense of the word. Just seeing your sparkling cyan eyes or hearing your infectious laughter sets my heart ablaze with an intensity I cannot ignore. You hold the power over me completely – when you call out "Onii-chan," no matter what I'm doing or where I am, my attention instantly shifts towards you without hesitation.
Conclusion: Forever Yours
Yan...you are the light of my life, the one who holds my heart captive within yours. As long as we remain bound by these invisible threads of love and devotion, I will cherish every moment spent with you and treasure each whispered confession of our secret affections forevermore.
This entry has been written straight from Shouya’s perspective - his feelings laid bare for Yan (and readers) to understand his complex emotions towards her through their unique sibling relationship filled with unspoken desires yet sweet moments shared secretly away from others’ prying eyes.

Optioned to Triple-A Moran (head) was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Moran hasn't played since colliding with the Cardinals' Dylan Carlson on Saturday, but he was cleared of a concussion. The fact that he was optioned rather than placed on the injured list seemingly indicates he's healthy. His role was set to be reduced even if he remained on the roster, as Mike Moustakas returned from the COVID-19 injured list Monday.

You'll struggle this year, City! Ivanovic predicts improved Chelsea and United could pip champions in title race
Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has fired a warning shot to Manchester City after predicting the champions will suffer from second season syndrome.
The Etihad Stadium club won their first league title since 1968 last season and manager Roberto Mancini hopes the triumph will spark a sustained period of domestic and European domination.
Struggle: Branislav Ivanovic believes Manchester City could suffer from second season syndrome
But speaking from Chelsea’s US training base, Ivanovic insisted that would be easier said than done - and even claimed Manchester United will start the season as favourites to win the Premier League.
‘City will find it a lot more difficult next season, every team will want to beat them because they are the champions,’ said the Serb.
‘It was the same with us, when you win something - it doesn’t matter if it’s a big or small club - they will fight and have extra motivation.
Improved: The defender believes players like Marko Marin (right) can help Chelsea lift the title once more
‘The real test of a good team is if they can be successful again in the next season, particularly in the Premier League because it’s a long season and everyone wants to beat you.’
He added: ‘For me Manchester United are always the number one favourites.
Miss you! Ivanovic conceded it is not the same without former Bridge favourite Didier Drogba since he joined Shanghai Shenhua
'After watching City win it last season United will have the motivation. Also other teams, like Chelsea, will look at City and try to build something new and looking to be in the race to win the league. It will be tough for them.’
Meanwhile, Ivanovic admits the club’s pre-season tour of America does not feel quite the same without Didier Drogba.
The Ivorian left Stamford Bridge this summer after eight years at the club - his last kick of a ball for the Blues securing their historic Champions League triumph in Munich.
And Ivanovic added: ‘It’s really strange not having Didier with us. We miss him.
‘A lot of us are still waiting for him to come back - it’s like something is missing.
'But I hope we don’t miss him on the pitch because he was a key player for us.’

[Effect of insulin on glucose and and fat metabolism in ewes during various reproductive states in normal and hypocalcemia].Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr 1997; 104(9):359-65DT
Metabolic indicators of glucose and lipid metabolism, i.e. glucose turnover, insulin concentration in plasma, insulin clearance, concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), glycerol and potassium were investigated in nine ewes during three reproductive states in order to examine their importance for development of subclinical ketosis. The increase of insulin in plasma was measured after a continuous 60 min intravenous infusion of glucose (4.9 mmol.min-1). Turnover of glucose and insulin clearance were quantified during a combined euglycemic, hyperinsulinemic clamp. Insulin was consecutively infused in doses of 5 and 10 mU.kg-1.min-1 for about 2 1/2 hours, each. Plasma glucose concentration was adjusted to 5.3 to 5.8 mmol.l-1. The experiments were carried out during non-pregnancy and non-lactation, 4 weeks to 3 days before lambing and 3 to 4 weeks after lambing, each during normo- and hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia (0.9 to 1.0 mmol Ca2+.l-1) was induced by continuous i.v. infusion of a 5% Na-EDTA solution. Infusion rate was continuously adjusted. The glucose induced increase in plasma insulin concentration was significantly lower during late pregnancy compared to peak lactation and non-pregnancy (46.3, 62.4 and 128 mU.l-1, respectively). The insulin clearance during a hyperinsulinemic clamp with 5 mU.kg-1.min-1 was significantly less during late pregnancy compared to peak lactation and non-pregnancy (3.7, 6.0, 4.8 ml.kg-1.min-1, respectively). The concentrations of NEFA and glycerol in plasma during the infusion of 5 mU insulin.kg-1.min-1 were significantly higher during late pregnancy than during non-pregnancy (NEFA: 0.41, 0.04 mmol.l-1; glycerol: 96, 29 mumol.l-1, respectively). The results showed that insulin responsiveness was significantly reduced in sheep during late pregnancy. The insulin-mediated uptake of glucose by muscle and fat tissues and the insulin-mediated inhibition of lipolysis were significantly reduced during late pregnancy compared to non-pregnancy and lactation. The diminished responsiveness of target tissue towards insulin during late pregnancy predisposed the animals for development of subclinical ketosis. Hypocalcemia exaggerated this situation by its inhibitory effect on hepatic gluconeogenesis and by enhancing insulin resistance of target tissues. The factors which are responsible for the altered responsiveness of target tissues towards insulin during late pregnancy are yet unknown. The potassium concentration in plasma showed a proportional increase with increase of the energy deficit of the target tissues. This effect could have been exerted by a decrease in cellular concentration of ATP and a concomitant reduction of the activity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. The indicators of glucose and lipid metabolism which were examined in this study showed marked individual variation, particularly during late pregnancy. The marked changes of these indicators with reproductive stages as well as their great variation between individual sheep support the assumption that they are of significance for the development of pregnancy toxemia in sheep.

While at a teahome in Burma, Julia meets U Ba, that clintends to know what taken place to her father. But the Tin Success of whom U Ba speaks is nothing prefer the father Julia remembers. She doubts at first that the story is true. But the even more she listens and the more time she spends in Burma, the even more she believes. Julia is relocated by the tragic love story entailing Tin Success, a blind boy in rural Burma, and also Mi Mi, whose misshapen feet made it difficult for her to walk. VERDICT The heart of this sentimental novel is the romance between the adolescents Tin Success and Mi Mi in pre-World War II Burma. Recommfinished for readers who enjoy sweetly tragic romances.—Pamela Mann, St. Mary"s Coll. of MarylandLibrary JournalGerman journalist Sendker"s initially novel, initially publiburned in German in 2002, is a love story set in Burma and also imbued through Eastern spirituality and fairy-tale romanticism. Tin Win, a successful Wall surface Street lawyer initially from Burma, has been absent because his passport was uncovered close to the Bangkok airport 4 years back. After finding an unmailed love letter he composed to a Burmese woman named Mi Mi, his daughter Julia, additionally a Manhattan lawyer, goes in search of her father who never before told his American Catholic wife or their 2 children anypoint about his life before America. In a teahouse in Kalaw, a small town in Burma--the opening pages are a lovely rendering of her sensory overload--Julia encounters a mysterious older man called U Ba who claims he has actually been waiting for her. He also clintends to know Tin Win and asks her one question, "Do you believe in love?" Although the novel is ostensibly being narrated by Julia, her encounter via U Ba is really a framing device for him to tell Tin Win"s romantic story: After his father dies and also his mother deserts him on his sixth birthday, Tin Win is raised lovingly by his widowed aunt Su Kyi, but by ten years old he has gone blind. Su Kyi takes him to the monastery wright here the saintly abbot teaches him to follow the wisdom of the heart. At 14 he encounters Mi Mi when, through a freshly found magical ability to hear and analyze heartbeats, he hears her heart beating. He drops in love automatically. Mi Mi was born with mangled feet and cannot walk but is lovely and has a magical gift for healing song. Their love has a purity of trust and oneness that cannot be ruined. How Tin Success regains his sight and also ends up in America is much less essential than the love he and Mi Mi maintain in shared silence for 50 years. Fans of Nicholas Sparks and/or Elizabeth Gilbert have to eat this up.

Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf fell agonisingly close to a double century, but he will find solace in his 191 run innings helping salvage a draw in the second Test to maintain his side's 1-0 advantage in their series against the West Indies.
The middle order batsman guided his side to 461-7 on the fifth and final day of the Test, frustrating the West Indies attack.
It was Yousuf's seventh century of the year and the 21st of his career in his stand which included 21 boundaries.
He equals the record jointly held by the West Indian Vivian Richards and Sri Lankan Aravinda de Silva. Richards hit seven hundreds in 1976 while De Silva recorded the feat in 1997.
Yousuf was finally dismissed by left-arm spinner Dave Mohammed, caught at mid-wicket by Shivnarine Chanderpaul. But by then the home team had built a lead of 227 runs and the West Indies had no option but to settle for a draw.
The West Indies had two close lbw decisions turned down by the umpires and Runako Morton put down a straight forward catch when he was on 108.
Yousuf was also part of the crucial 152 run partnership for the sixth wicket with Abdul Razzaq.
The 32 year old has been in prolific form in 2006, hitting 192 in Pakistan's nine-wicket win in the first Test in Lahore last week.
He has now accumulated 1562 runs in ten Tests this year. The record of most runs in a calendar year is held by West Indian Richards, who notched 1710 runs in 11 Tests in 1976.
