← The Kaye effect after dark!
George Stokes on science and knowledge (1877) →
George Gabriel Stokes in love! (1857)
Posted on June 4, 2013 by skullsinthestars
Been very busy the past few weeks with work, house buying and selling, and life in general. Catching back up on blog posts; here's a bit of sweetness connected to a prominent physicist.
With the weather finally turning nice at last and with Spring in the air, it is natural that even a scientist's thoughts would turn to… love! Not being a biologist, I can't write about the weird mating habits of the animal kingdom — besides, that role is already and masterfully taken by Dr. Bondar.
What I can do, however, is provide a revealing peek into the personal life of a famous physicist and his own efforts and insecurities in romance. I was recently browsing the memoirs and correspondence of physicist and mathematician George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903), published in 1907, and found to my delight that the editor had included a series of personal letters of Stokes wooing the love of his life!
Why, you might ask, would I even bother to share this information? Well, every physicist knows at least one quirky story about a famous researcher, e.g. some sort of crazy thing that Feynman, Einstein or Newton did. These stories are great fun, but they emphasize that great scientists are different from ordinary folks. This in turn has the unintended side effect of making scientists appear strange, unsympathetic, and unapproachable. Because of this, I nowadays am more delighted to read anecdotes that prove that the most brilliant researchers were, in fact, also very human at heart. Stokes' letters actually highlight two major aspects of his personality: his loving and insecure soul as well as his remarkable mind.

Most people, even within the science community, are quite unfamiliar with George Stokes, even though he was responsible for a number of fundamental discoveries in physics and mathematics. All physicists and mathematicians know him for what is now known as Stokes' theorem, a fundamental theorem of vector calculus. He made major contributions to fluid mechanics (including the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow that partly bear his name) and optics, the latter including the observation that many fluorescent materials have the ability to convert invisible ultraviolet light into visible light. He first began studying this phenomenon when he noticed that quinine, the original drug used to treat malaria, has a surprisingly bright blue glow when illuminated with ultraviolet light. Quinine is present in tonic water, and will glow brilliantly under a UV lamp, as shown below.

The youngest son of the Reverend Gabriel Stokes, George was born in Ireland in the seaside village of Skreen in 1819. Like many brilliant scientists, he displayed unusual curiosity and charming eccentricities even at a young age, as recounted by his sister Elizabeth in his memoirs.
The child had an enquiring mind and asked many questions, as, for instance, 'But, William, is the hawk a bird, and does he really eat mice?' One day my mother discovered him on the floor measuring a dead bird, and saying to himself, 'That's right,' probably comparing it with some description which he had read.
I could fill multiple blog posts describing George's unusual behavior, but a few examples from his childhood will suffice.
"Walking on the road one day, in passing the smith's forge, a bar of iron just turning from red to black attracted him. He clasped his hand round it and got a bad burn; he shivered with pain, but never cried. He was so brave that my uncle George called him 'Wellington.'
His connection with Wellington is significant for our later discussions, as well!
"He was exact even when a child; one day on being sent to see what o'clock it was he said, ' I can't tell you what o'clock it is now, but when I was at the clock it was such an hour.'
"He was very absent-minded sometimes. I remember one day when sent on a message he said, ' I forget who sent me and what it was about.'
In 1835, Stokes went to Bristol College (which no longer exists) and spent two years distinguishing himself in mathematics. He then moved on to Pembroke College in Cambridge, doing so well he earned a Fellowship at the institution. Several years later, in 1849, he distinguished himself further and also became the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge; this chair has been held by such luminaries as Isaac Newton, Paul Dirac and Stephen Hawking. In 1852, Stokes made his discovery concerning the fluorescence of quinine, cementing his position as an important and leading scientific luminary.
In spite of his talents and his ability to give a powerful lecture, Stokes was in fact a very shy man. Stokes was in charge of several prize and scholarship exams, which involved candidates being tested extensively at his own home.
The days of the Smith's Prize and Bell Scholarship Examinations were always marked days with us, as the house was turned upside-down; we lunched in the drawing-room, and the dining-room mahogany supported the elbows of those who were examined. If they were in awe of my father during their papers, he was quite afraid of them at lunch. He considered it a part of his duty to help to relax their mental strain, and used to lament that he found it so difficult to entertain them and did not know what to say. It once happened that during the recreation interval in the garden after lunch two candidates ran away. It was particularly unfortunate, as one of them had done rather well. The event was long spoken of in the family with bated breath, and afterwards the garden gate was kept locked on these occasions.

It was this man, George Stokes the brilliant but shy physicist, who fell in love with Mary Robinson. She was the daughter of the Reverend Thomas Romney Robinson, astronomer of the Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland, and her path first crossed Stokes' around 1856 at a Meeting of the British Association. Their first meeting was brief, but Stokes fell for her immediately. He had some difficulty in tracking her down again because he mistakenly thought her to be the daughter of another famous physicist, Sir David Brewster (of whom we will say more momentarily). Once they had met, they began a lengthy communication by mail, apparently necessitated by their geographical separation.
The letters released by Stokes' family for publication begin in January of 1857. They contain a combination of personal and work-related news, as a letter dated January 10 indicates.
My cold is gone, reduced to only the dregs of the dregs of a cold, an infinitesimal of the second order. After dinner to-day I finished The Caxtons. Tell Mrs. Robinson that I have come to the end; not that it was a task, for I like it very well. I suppose you would laugh at me, being in the habit of devouring a novel at a sitting, or two sittings at the most. I take it more by sips, the way a man takes wine.
The Caxtons: A Family Picture is a novel written by the infamous Edward Bulwer-Lytton, of whom I have had much to say on this blog in the past (here and here).
Today I had my men to an examination. Alas! I tear they have not been taking in my lectures. It is hard to teach mechanics to men who have had no previous mathematical training. I am now in electricity; a much more interesting subject to lecture on than mechanics.
Stokes was troubled by the fact that his students seemed to be learning nothing in his lectures: this is a problem that most teachers can sympathize with!
Mary seems to have been eager to understand more of what her suitor did with his spare time, going so far as to learn some mathematics. George was encouraging in this pursuit, albeit in a somewhat condescending way, as the same letter indicates.
I intended to teach you a little Euclid and Algebra just for the sake of strengthening the mind, not for the sake of enabling you to follow my mathematics. I am afraid Euclid and Algebra would not help you much towards understanding what I write on pure mathematics. But I chiefly busy myself about physics, and you will be able to understand something of that after you have seen some experiments.
As I have noted, Stokes was at the height of his career at this time, and his enthusiasm nearly led to the engagement being cancelled. Though the letter does not survive, somewhere around January 15 he sent Mary a 55-page letter that apparently outlined in detail his scientific pursuits as well as his view that those pursuits took priority over his social and love life. Mary was justifiably worried that she would end up leaving her family only to find herself alone in London while George occupied himself with science. Stokes himself seems to have quickly realized this, and on January 17 sent an apologetic letter to her.
As no mails go out on Sunday you will not I fear get this for a day and a half after the 55-pager. I am afraid the latter, though it will probably be interesting to you (if I may judge how I felt about similar letters to me), may have given you some pain. What gave me occasional pain, being no longer pent up, can now give me no more, and I feel so happy now that there is nothing to interfere with my love. The ghosts looked always wrong; but now bow silly and contemptible they appear as well ! … The 55-pager explained to you my motives for the first time, and it is better you should love me as what I am than as something else. My letter this morning was for a letter something like Hofmann's methylethylamylophenylammonium for a word: I guess you never got a 55-pager before.
I love George's attempt to lighten the mood with humor! Mary wrote back to explain her concerns, and Stokes dropped most of his academic pretense and declared his love for her in a letter on January 21.
… So then, my dearest Mary, though the ghosts were bad enough they were not quite so black as you may perhaps have imagined. It grieves me to think that you should look forward to but little love. I fancied I should love you as few wives comparatively get loved, but of course I cannot tell, for I cannot look into other people's hearts. And as to coldness I cannot tell you more of my heart than I know myself, and the heart is said to be deceitful, but it appears to me to be thus. Do you remember how I told you I broke my arm, and how the muscle between the elbow and shoulder fell away when the arm was in the sling, and how rapidly it came to again when the sling was laid aside and the arm used? Well, I believe it is even so with my feelings of affection. I have been living so much alone "amidst thoughts and making out things" that they are not so strong as those of one living in the bosom of a family; but they only want an object on which to exercise themselves. And would it be no satisfaction to you to think that you were under God the means of supplying to my character one thing it wants much ? Already I feel the difference. To me as well as to you it seems quite natural that people living together, and both trying to do right, though it may be with many faults, should love each other.
It seems that Mary was more or less reassured, and over the course of a series of letters became even more comfortable. There were other difficulties associated with marriage to an academic, however, which I imagine to be the "two-body problem" of Stokes' time. In short, holders of a Pembroke Fellowship were not allowed to be married!
And now I must tell you one thing which may be, but I don't think is likely to be, of importance to us, at least at present. If it comes to anything it may make me wish to put off my marriage, as I mentioned to you a day or two after we were engaged. I should not like what I am going to tell you to go beyond you and your father and Mrs R. at present.
Even before I went to the Observatory last August, I thought that as to the time of our marriage I ought not to put it off merely for the sake of saving more money, when I had what prudent and experienced people considered enough (I thought it might be deemed necessary or rather advisable to save money for two or three years in case it should tum out that you had not any, but it was not so deemed either by your friends or mine, but the contrary), but that I ought to put it off a little if my marriage would throw difficulties in the way of University reform so far as relates to the endowment of my own Professorship. Everybody allows that in the abstract the Professorships ought to be endowed, but where is the money to come from? There seems no source but the appropriation of Fellowships to the endowment of Professorships. This would be a very strong measure, like the alienation of private property; for Fellowships are not endowed by the nation, but given by private individuals who founded them. Parliament might force such a measure on the University, but there would be strong opposition.
Stokes was both a Professor and a Fellow, but the Professorship provided very little money; most of Stokes' income came from his Fellowship, which was under harsh restrictions.
But there is another much milder method which could be put into practice in the case of those who are already Fellows, and could even be extended to those who are not, by the election of them into Fellowships if the ,Fellows of a College were willing to elect them. It is to dispense with the restriction of celibacy and the possible necessity of taking Holy Orders or else resigning, in the case of Professors who are also Fellows. Thus the Fellowship would in effect become part of the endowment of a Professorship, and yet the intention of the founders is but little interfered with. I believe Heads of Houses had originally no more power of marrying than ordinary Fellows, but they were permitted by a letter of Elizabeth. And if Heads by a letter of Elizabeth, why not Professors by a letter of Victoria, or if our now more limited monarchical authority requires it, by an Act of Parliament?
From his position of power and high esteem, Stokes hoped to change how Professors were funded. Times were changing, and it seemed likely that the rules would inevitably be modified; he hoped to hurry the process along. In the meantime, he kept Mary up-to-date on his political progress, and they shared adorable correspondence. It should be remembered that they still knew very little about each other, so Mary set up questions as a sort of game to play:
I have been very remiss in question-answering. You have asked me 9 marvellous searching questions, which I proceed to answer some of.
1. The virtue you think most of. By think most of I presume is meant think most highly of, rather than reflect oftenest upon. Answer :-I think one is more struck with a strong exhibition of virtue, be it of what kind it may, under trying circumstances, than with virtue on account of its being of a particular kind. And with reason; for such a proof indicates the possession of a character which would show itself in other directions if occasion led. Yet comparing virtues in the abstract, I am inclined to think that charity or love (for it is the same word) must rank the highest, for it in a manner includes all others.
2. Favourite hero. Hero I suppose is meant in the usual sense of the word, and I should say in this sense the Duke of Wellington.
Recall that Stokes has been called "Wellington" as a child due to his bravery after being burned! It seems that his nickname stuck with him to some degree.
3, 4. Prose writer and poet. No decided opinion.
5. Antipathy. Vide what was said under virtue. Presuming that you don't mean to go to the assizes but speak of what one meets with in ordinary society, I should be inclined to say a sort of cringing, sneaking, fickle, frivolous, fawning character.
6. Flower. Perhaps a clove-pink.
7. Food. Variety is charming; one would get tired of anything. Though I come from the Emerald Isle I must say the roast beef and plum-pudding of Old England is very good.
8. Occupation. Scientific investigations, especially when they lead to discoveries.
9. Colour. I should say a red-purple.
George's favorite flower: the carnation (though likely a different color). Via Wikipedia.
My favorite letter from George to Mary is dated March 19, and connects his work to his upcoming nuptial*:
When the cat's away the mice may play. You are the cat and I am the poor little mouse. I have been doing what I guess you won't let me do when we are married, sitting up till 3 o'clock in the morning fighting hard against a mathematical difficulty. Some years ago I attacked an integral of Airy's, and after a severe trial reduced it to a readily calculable form. But there was one difficulty about it which, though I tried till I almost made myself ill, I could not get over, and at last I had to give it up and profess myself unable to master it. I took it up again a few days ago, and after a two or three days' fight, the last of which I sat up till 3, I at last mastered it. I don't say you won't let me work at such things, but you will keep me to more regular hours. A little out of the way now and then does not signify, but there should not be too much of it. It is not the mere sitting up but the hard thinking combined with it …….
I think any non-scientist who is married to a scientist can sympathize with this statement! How often are non-scientist wives/husbands irritated by their spouses staying up all hours of the night fighting with some seemingly intractable problem?
The problem in question resulted in one of Stokes' most significant mathematical discoveries, the Stokes lines eventually named after him. The details are much too technical to get into here, but play a significant role in the optical theory of diffraction.
The couple, like many, could not resist sharing a bit of gossip about friends and colleagues. On April 24, Stokes wrote to Mary:
Yesterday was a complete R.S. day. At breakfast at Lord Wrottesley's I heard some particulars about Sir David Brewster's attachment and marriage. I won't tell you all at present, it is so late. The lady it seems is about 50 years younger than he. Half a century! What a difference! … They appear to have become bona fide attached to each other,
and that pretty quickly. May it be lasting.
By May 11, wedding plans were moving along steadily. Stokes, of course, could not even think about a honeymoon without some accompanying science to go with it:
…… If we are married at the time we are at present thinking of, and go to Switzerland as we talked of, I think I will bring a couple of quartz prisms, a quartz lens, and a piece of uranium glass with me, to observe the spectrum on top of the Rigi or Faulhorn.
Stokes was in fact an avid and somewhat reckless climber, and he would often horrify his family by making ascents on treacherous pathways.
In the end, love won out over practical considerations: George and Mary were married near the end of 1857, and he had to forfeit his Fellowship, though his Professorship was secure. Changes were eventually made to the Fellowship, however, and it was re-awarded to Stokes in 1869. The couple did their honeymoon in Switzerland, though there is no account of Stokes' mountaintop experiments. Mary's diary, however, contains a few snippets about his enthusiasm:
George is so fond of lightning.
He puts his head under all the waterspouts he can find.
He flew about, now up, now down, trying to find a better path; he quite enjoys dangerous places and looks so happy where his neck might be broken.
There marriage was, by their daughter Mrs. Humphrey's account, a happy one, and it lasted until death parted them. They had a number of children (I have not been able to determine how many), though sadly at least two of them died at a young age.
Stokes' marriage, through his children, led to him becoming a better and more enlightened man. Mrs. Humphrey recounts:
When it was becoming customary for the University Professors to admit lady students to their lectures someone wrote to him asking for permission for the ladies to attend his lectures also. He said that he had almost decided to refuse; but I begged that he would take them, and asked him how be would feel if a Mrs Somerville had asked him to teach her, and he would not. At last he promised to admit them, and he became much interested in his lady students, and always knew how much they understood. He was much amused by one. After the first lecture he said,"She frowns "-after the second,"She is frowning horribly ! "-after the third, "Her forehead is one mass of corrugations; she won't be there next time!" and she was not. But some of the ladies got on splendidly, and he was much pleased when a Newnham lady who had attended his lectures brought him some original work which he approved.
George Stokes was a brilliant scientist, and an odd fellow at times, but he was also wonderfully normal in all the ways that mattered.

Use the tips right here that work in your particular problem. Dealing with a pest problem may actually grow to be easier than you assume. You can flip an expert service, or you possibly can tackle it your self. Regardless of the case, you not have to sit passively as pests take over your life. Almost every season makes approach for brand spanking new household pests that may affect your loved ones's on a regular basis actions. Widespread pests can range from easy ants, to things extra sinister like rats and mice. The next article will enable you take issues into your own palms and explain how one can perform your individual types of pest management!
Examine your home for moist areas within the construction when you've got carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are very attracted to moisture, so for those who start to have an issue with them, likelihood is that you have a leak someplace. As soon as you find and clear up that drawback, the carpenter ants will transfer on naturally. If you're struggling with an ant downside in your own home, be sure to are not feeding your undesirable visitors! Be very diligent about placing away any food after you eat it and maintain your counter tops and flooring clean. Take out your trash frequently and if you have pets, don't go away their meals out in a single day.
Many several types of pests may cause problems inside a household. It may be expensive to rent an exterminator; because of this it's important to study what you possibly can about taking care of them your self. Make use of what you might have learn, and create a plan for eliminating pesky pests for good. Creepy, crawly, and disgusting are only a few words that people use to explain insects. These annoying pests enter our homes when we least anticipate it, and begin making a home for themselves. When this happens, it's time to use some pest control, which you are able to do with the next ideas.
Instead, preserve all the pieces stored in that one location.
Leaving meals crumbs on the floors of your private home is uncleanly, however do you know that it may cause an ant infestation? Ants love the odor of food and leaving it round is giving them an invitation to enter your own home. Clear up after yourself and retailer uneaten food in your fridge. Pests love a cluttered home! The more stuff you may have laying round on the floor or shoved into cabinets, the extra places they've to hide and thrive. To be able to eradicate this, a good suggestion is to undergo your whole place a couple of occasions a 12 months and eliminating stuff you not need or use. The much less issues you've, the much less issues they've to hide in and under.
Your neighbors can work with you as a team to eradicate pests. You might have the identical problem they're having, particularly if you live in the metropolis. Even when you rid yourself of them, they will transfer in again later from next door. When you and your neighbors band together for the common cause, you all have a greater probability of releasing yourselves of the pests once and for all.
When you've got seen a rise in pests in your home, it is time to do an intensive cleansing. Dirty floors and dirty counters are identified to attract a variety of bugs together with roaches and ants. To help deter pests from coming into your home clean your counters and your floors with a solution of bleach and water. When you have ants, search for boric acid. Boric acid, sometimes listed as orthoboric acid, is the most effective pesticide for ants. In addition, lots of the baits containing this are protected for use around pets and kids, although you need to all the time fastidiously learn all security labels to be sure.
When the pests can't get inside, then the battle is midway received. Install new thresholds on your doors, fix holes in screens, and repair weather stripping on your home windows for greatest outcomes.

Home / Pregnancy / Postpartum
Mom rage is real—and it's a sign that mothers' needs aren't being met
The truth is, anger—real, fist-clenching, heart-racing, uncontrollable anger—is so much more common among mothers than many of us think.
By Motherly July 10, 2020
What maternal anger is
Maternal anger is one symptom of postpartum depression and anxiety.
Maternal anger is a symptom of anxiety well beyond the postpartum period, too.
Maternal anger can be a stress response to our kids' negative behaviors.
Maternal anger is a symptom and an expression of grief.
Maternal anger is an all-too-human response to the many ways our society fails moms.
What we can do about maternal anger
Maternal anger takes most women who experience it by surprise. I'm not this person, we say, after feeling a shocking swell of rage during one of those inevitable moments of frustration we all face as a parent.
I never thought I'd be "that mom" who yells at her family, we say, after snapping and yelling at our toddler.
I don't recognize myself when I feel like this—and I feel like this more than I want to, we say, when we realize that our anger isn't a temporary, one-time thing but an undercurrent in our day-to-day, an undeniable presence like a shadow.
The truth is, anger—real, fist-clenching, heart-racing, uncontrollable anger—is so much more common among mothers than many of us think. And it's time to talk about what "mom rage" is, where it comes from, and what we can do about it.
One in 9 women experience some form of postpartum depression or anxiety, but anger may not be the first symptom we think of—we're far more likely to imagine PPDA as persistent feelings of sadness or numbness.
"Women are more informed than ever about what to be on the lookout for after baby arrives: sadness that lasts beyond the first two weeks, difficulty sleeping when baby is sleeping, intrusive thoughts, excessive crying and trouble bonding with baby, just to name a few symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety," as clinical therapist Wendy Snyder notes. "But there is one symptom that still receives very little attention: postpartum rage."
Here's what moms should know about postpartum rage, and why it's so incredibly common but often overlooked.
Anxiety is practically written into our job description as parents: We worry about our children's health, their development, their happiness. We also worry about ourselves, both as parents and as individuals: Am I doing this parenting thing right? Am I too much defined by motherhood—or not enough? Am I still myself?
Anger is one way in which parental anxiety tends to express itself. This is especially the case if we don't have a regular way to release our worries and fears—self-care rituals that sustain us, a supportive partner, an understanding friend group or a rock-solid therapist.
"Motherhood is one of those knock-you-over-the-head-with-a-2x4 experiences that tends to bring us face to face with our issues," notes clinical mental health counselor Margaret Sky. "For example, many parents have deep-seated fears about something terrible happening to their children. This fear can manifest as anxiety or even as anger. When my toddler ran out into the parking lot recently, I instantly felt flooded with rage, but beneath the anger was fear and anxiety."
Here's what moms should know about the relationship between anxiety and anger.
"When your child is experiencing a meltdown, you can become very frustrated...and most of the time it just doesn't come out in a very healthy way," says Brandy Wells, a licensed social worker specializing in childhood mental health. Our emotional reaction to our child's tantrums, meltdowns and negative behaviors is a stress response that can look and feel like anger. This anger can even become a cycle, where your child's behavior triggers your own emotional stress response, which in turn triggers more tantrums and negative behaviors.
"Get in touch with how you react to stress in general, but especially in front of your child," suggests Tomi Akitunde, founder of Mater Mea. "When someone cuts you off in traffic, are you yelling and hitting your steering wheel? Are you and your partner prone to huffing and puffing when confronted with an inconvenience? Do you talk about your feelings or keep things bottled up until you explode? Kids pick up everything—and that includes these cues on expressing emotions."
Here's what moms should know about the relationship between maternal anger and negative behaviors in our children.
We are all grieving losses on so many levels during this pandemic—we miss our parents and our friends, we miss our old lives, we miss our sense of security, we miss our old social supports. We miss the experiences we should have had. We miss childcare. When you think about all the changes the pandemic has caused, it's normal to feel grief.
One of the ways grief expresses itself, in both children and in adults, is anger. Here's what moms should know about the connection between grief and anger.
Ever notice how anger is sometimes triggered by seemingly small things—that are really connected to much bigger things? You're not really furious at your toddler for eating their breakfast too slow. You're anxious and exasperated because of the chain reaction that gets set off when your toddler fights you over eating breakfast: You're late getting out the door, which means you're hustling for time just to be late for day care dropoff, and late for work, where you already feel stressed, unsupported and under fire as a working mother. It's not about the peanut butter toast.
Inaction from our partners can also trigger rage that seems out of proportion—until you consider the context. Your tearful fury when your partner drops their dishes in the sink while ignoring the dishwasher two inches away isn't actually about the dishes. It's about the mental load of motherhood. Among the thousands of other ways you're seeing around corners every day, you can't be the only person in the house who remembers to load the dishwasher when you're also the only person in the house who pays attention to when you're about to run out of dishwashing detergent. You'd have to be superhuman not to be angry about the level of invisible labor moms shoulder.
This lack of support for mothers is a systemic issue, and the pandemic has brought it to new extremes. "We're asking all parents, but it's especially moms on the front lines, to try to do 24/7 child care without a break at the same time that they're trying to often hold down a job," says parenting expert and clinical psychologist Laura Markham, Ph.D. "So, is there more mom rage? How could there not be?"
Here's what experts say about how moms—already overburdened and under-supported—are entering a whole new level of burnout caused by a lack of societal support during the pandemic.
Acknowledge it
We can't ignore it away. We can't pretend it's not there. We need to acknowledge and name anger. It's an emotion that so many moms feel, for so many reasons, in so many ways—and our first step in dealing with anger in a healthy way is to name it.
Rebecca Eanes, author of Positive Parenting, suggests that taking ownership of our own emotions is the key to processing anger in a healthy way: When you feel angry, say, "I'm feeling angry right now, and I need to calm down."
Talk about it
"Many of us struggle with knowing what to do with our anger," according to couples' therapist Vienna Pharaon. "We either see red and then release it without any pause, or we shame ourselves out of expressing it at all."
As one mom who wrote for Motherly about her experience with postpartum rage put it, "Why doesn't anyone ever talk about the anger? I mean, it's embarrassing—I get it. No one wants to post a picture to their Instagram feed captioned, "This is what it looks like after you scream at your kids!"
Moms, we need to be able to talk about our anger with other women in a judgement-free way. We need to be able to talk about our anger with our partners in a constructive way. And we need to be able to model a positive response to "big emotions" like anger for our children.
Sit with it
"Allowing our emotions to be what they are has a wonderful side-effect; we start to realize our emotions aren't as scary as they once seemed, and that they don't have to run the show," notes Sky. "Often, our undesired emotions lose power and strength when we're not denying them or feeding them, but simply observing them without judgment." Rather than pushing anger aside or under the rug, allow it to be what it is—and then move to heal it.
Anticipate it
"It can be helpful to keep a journal about your emotions and responses," says Eanes. "Just by bringing awareness to the things that cause you to feel angry, you take away some of its power. We are often armed with our triggers in childhood. For example, if you were told often to 'quit crying' as a child, then hearing a child whine or cry may bring up uncomfortable feelings for you, perhaps even sadness. Anger is often the mask that sadness hides behind."
"Before we are angry we are ALWAYS something else," Pharaon writes. "Think of anger as a secondary emotion. Before we feel angry we might feel abandoned, embarrassed or betrayed, but because we tend to go from zero to 100 so quickly it's hard for us to actually connect to our pain."
Redirect it
"Find whatever it is that helps you calm down in the midst of a heated moment," says positive parenting author Katie Mertes. "This will be different for everyone; it could be taking some deep breaths, stepping away from your child, or taking a break." If nothing else, keep this list of calming phrases for moments of anger tucked away in a note on your phone so you can read it when you're hiding in the bathroom silent-screaming into the towels.
You can also work on reframing angry thoughts to defuse and redirect anger, suggests Eanes. "For example, if you often think, 'My kid whines about everything!' then those words will fuel your negative emotions. However, if you consciously choose to replace that with a more positive or accurate thought, then the anger has space to dissipate. Try 'My child is having a hard time and needs my help.' With consistency, you'll begin to automatically think gentler thoughts, and your responses will be more positive."
"Remember, if anger is less like the weather, which comes and goes, but more like the climate—"I feel like I am almost always angry"—then it might be helpful to talk about what's going on with a qualified mental health professional," says psychologist Kellie Edwards."So often past experiences can trigger emotions we can't quite manage and we can feel stuck in automatic reactions. It doesn't have to be that way and you don't need to go through that alone. Seeking help with difficult emotions is a gift to you and your family."
We are human. Living, learning, striving to get better. Believe in yourself and hold your intention close to your heart.

Twenty-Percent Soldiers: Our Secret Life in the National Guard
by Susan Dellicker, Kevin DellickerSusan Dellicker
Twenty-Percent Soldiers is the true account of one couple's life in the National Guard through eighteen years of part-time warfare. With humor and humility, Kevin and Susan Dellicker portray what it's like to jump back and forth between having a "normal" civilian life in small-town Pennsylvania and conducting special operations missions in Southwest Asia. A tribute to all the part-time soldiers and their families who have been fighting the Global War on Terrorism since 9/11, this story is also a call-to-action for politicians and military leaders to fix a broken family support system that is failing the part-time force.
Twenty-Percent Soldiers reinforces a truth that all Americans can embrace: With perseverance, love and faith, ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things.

The Co-operative Bank offers the first balance transfer card not to swipe away your interest-free deal for paying late
By Emma Gunn for Thisismoney.co.uk
The Co-operative has launched a new balance transfer credit card that promises not to swipe away customers' 0 per cent interest deal for minor transgressions.
The card comes with an interest-free deal on balance transfers lasting for 24 months – a full 16 months shorter than the leading 40-month credit card from Virgin Money.
However, unlike other lenders Co-Operative pledges that should a customer spend beyond their limit, make a late payment or miss a monthly repayment altogether it won't revoke the deal.
Reprieve: The bank promises not to revoke its interest-free deal for customers making small mistakes
Most credit card providers specify in the small print that should borrowers fail to abide by the terms and conditions they have the right to withdraw any promotion offers.
This means small mistakes can result in borrowers being slapped with hefty standard APR charges, typically between 18 and 20 per cent.
This can make it particularly hard for those who have transferred in a large balance to take advantage of a 0 per cent promotion to help them repay quicker.
But while the Co-op's new card policy is welcome, borrowers will still be hit with penalty charges. These include a £12 fee for late payment or exceeding your credit limit.
Borrow interest-free for three years! The best balance... Second time's a charm: Virgin Money re-releases its...
Best-buy tables: Compare the best credit cards for you in seconds
Matthew Carter, products and marketing director at the bank, said: 'We have developed a credit card that is simple, transparent and fair after consultation with our customers.
'They told us that they don't want to be disproportionally penalised for small mistakes. While customers expect to be charged a small fee for not adhering to the terms and conditions, they don't expect to lose all the benefits on a card, as this can mean paying a significant amount of interest, especially if the promotional offer was due to run over a two- to three-year period.'
While Co-operative is the first bank to alter the terms and conditions in this way, Nationwide made similar steps earlier this year when it promised credit card holders that it would waive its usual £12 late payment fee and change the way it charges interest on purchases for balance transfer customers, in a bid to make charges clearer and fairer.
The deal also includes a low transfer fee of 1 per cent and four months' interest-free spending. Once the promotional period ends, interest is applied at 18 per cent.
Andrew Hagger, of MoneyComms.com, said: 'I think it's a decent overall package when you weigh up the 24-month term, low balance transfer rate and the safety net that your 0 per cent deal doesn't disappear the first time you're late with a repayment.'
'The revert-to rate is slightly lower than the norm too, at 18 per cent rather than the usual 18.9 per cent or more seen these days.'
He added: 'You can get a 22-month balance transfer with no fee from the AA but I think for many people the promise you won't lose your promotional deal is a positive feature that could swing it for the Co-operative.'
This is Money verdict
The top priority when considering a balance transfer credit card should be making sure you can repay within the 0 per cent promotion and before standard interest kicks in.
For those needing as long as possible to repay there are hoards of credit cards offering more generous 0 per cent interest deals than Co-operative, lasting as long as 40 months from Virgin Money with a 2.99 per cent handling fee.
In order to qualify for the zero per cent interest promotion, cardholders must transfer across a balance within the first 60 days.
That said, two years free from interest payments is not to be sniffed at.
Typically, card providers charge a handling fee of between 2 to 3 per cent for shifting debt from an existing credit card. This will cost you between £40 to £60 for a £2,000 transfer.
Co-operative Bank sits fairly competitively in the tables with a low 1 per cent fee, cutting the cost by as much as £40 for every £2,000.
However, there are several lenders offering similar length 0 per cent promotions that waive the charge altogether.
Santander's 123 credit card includes 23 months' 0 per cent interest on purchases and balance transfers, after this the APR jumps to 16.9 per cent. The deal also includes up to 3 per cent cashback on your spending but the card carries a £24 annual fee (rising to £36 in January).
The AA also waives any transfer fee on its 22-month balance transfer credit card. It also gives 3 months' 0 per cent on purchases. After that, standard interest is applied at 19.9 per cent. So setting up a monthly direct debit to avoid any late or missed payments is wise.
All in all, having the reassurance that you won't lose your 0 per cent promotion and get hit with hefty interest for making a minor misdeameanor could make the Co-operative offering worth considering.

To answer Lasersharkbear, the comics are great. Manning captures the individual voices to perfection, so much so that I can vividly hear the actors as I'm reading. The stories clip along, and the sets are exact. I especially liked seeing them from new angles, really investing in the architectural truth of Collinwood. And, back to the stories, they are grappa from Dark Shadows' wine, really cramming in everything lovable about the show into a brief format that's excellent for newcomers. It's what DS fans experience when we watch the show.
I only have three cavils. First off, while Angelique is exquisitely portrayed and expanded upon as a character, I just don't easily buy her reverting back to evil after the events in 1841. Yes, she's a great villain, but sending her off as a greater heroine and Barnabas' TRUE "true love" was just a beautiful way to end those characters. I was sorry to see it go. The second cavil is silly, but it is a flaw in the continuity they established. Since when do DS werewolves talk? That's impossibly geeky, but the whole idea that an articulate man can be reduced to a raving beast is the essence of the werewolf's terrifying tragedy. This approach helped the storytelling. And maybe we can chalk it up to Angelique's woojoo, but still….
My final nit is with the artwork. I just prefer more photorealism. Having said that, the art captures the look of the characters very well, and if you like Argento movies, you'll love the "lighting" supplied by the colorist.
Overall, far more good than, at worst, vaguely puzzling. I dearly hope the comic continues. Stuart Manning did the great job I would have expected. A must-buy!

Israel and the Problem of Multiculturalism
In early December 2015 Time Magazine announced that German Chancellor Angela Merkel was its Person of the Year. Among her many accomplishments was that Germany had led in welcoming Middle Eastern immigrants and was committed to accepting 800,000 this year.
The editors of Time may have been startled by Merkel's speech on December 14, 2015 in which she said that multiculturalism "leads to parallel societies and remains a sham… We want and we will reduce the number of refugees noticeably." Yet, they should not have been surprised since in a speech in October 2010 Merkel had said that multiculturalism had failed utterly. Newcomers, she said, should assimilate to German values and culture, and respect the country's laws.
Chancellor Merkel joined other European and other leaders, notably British Prime Minister David Cameron, French former president Nicolas Sarkozy, former Spanish Prime Minster Jose Maria Aznar and former Australian Prime Minister John Howard in this assertion that multiculturalism has been a mistake. All agree that in their countries different cultural communities have been encouraged to live separate lives. Those separate communities have behaved in ways that run counter to British, German and French values. In these countries assimilation, and integration of newcomers, particularly Muslims, has not been, or is only partially, successful.
One can accept the fact that the existence and diversity of cultures is desirable and healthy for successful societies. Nevertheless, the fundamental problem is that multiculturalism has led to adherence, as Merkel said, to separatism and parallel societies, rather than to a common civic nation based on some if not all factors such common ancestry, language, history, and traditions.
In democratic western societies the immigration of ethnic and religious minorities, unable or unwilling to be integrated had added to the problems of the existence and protection of cultural pluralism, and the question of affirmative action. The countries are challenged by the tension between communitarianism and ethnicity on one hand and a common collective identity and values on the other. To what extent can and should societies incorporate multilateral principles?
It is intriguing to examine the State of Israel in the context of the complex issue of multicultural ethnic, cultural and religious diversity and the cleavages in Israeli society. Israel has survived not only because of its military success against Arab neighbors but also because it has accepted some forms of diversity, if not multiculturalism. From the beginning it rejected religious coercion, while incorporating non-belligerent religion and maintaining political and social liberties in the country, in spite of external and internal animus.
Is multiculturalism incompatible with Jewish self-determination? There are two separate issues: the unusual diversity of Jewish affiliations, religious and political; and the Arab minority. Though the differences between religious Jews -the ultra-orthodox, those who came from Arab countries, Ashkenazis and Sephardim-, and the secular, the leftists, and the Russian non believers, are considerable, they collectively believe in some common values and a compromise, sometimes difficult, on the place of Judaism.
Today Israel is a country with 8.4 million population, composed of 6.2 million Jews, with a common heritage and ethnic homogeneity, coming from more than 100 countries, 1.7 million Arabs, 360,000 others, and 100,000 legal immigrant workers. Thus the population is made up of 75 per cent Jews, 17 per cent Muslim, mostly Sunni, 2 per cent Christian, and 1.5 per cent Druze.
The Israeli Declaration of Independence spoke of the establishment of a Jewish State in the Land of Israel, and the natural right of the Jewish people to be masters of their own fate. The Declaration, in democratic fashion, also spoke of ensuring complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race, or sex, and of guaranteeing freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture. Arab inhabitants of Israel were to become equal citizens in the Jewish State.
The establishment of a Jewish State has meant that symbols reflect the Jewish majority: the Hebrew language, though Arabic is an official second language; observing the Sabbath as a day of rest; officially serving kosher food; and the national airline El Al not flying on Sabbath. The Star of David is on the flag and the national anthem is Hatikvah , the song of the Jewish people's desire to return to their homeland. Yet, while Israel observes Independence Day, many Arabs observe al-Nakba (Calamity) Day.
Although there is a sizable Arab minority a bi-national state is not realistic. As a Jewish state, Israel passed the Law of Return on July 5, 1950 granting every Jew the right to settle in Israel and gain citizenship. The Law was extended in 1970 to people with one Jewish grandparent or people married to a Jew.
Since it was founded in 1901, the private Jewish National Fund has existed to buy and develop land for Jewish settlement. The JNF now owns 13 per cent of the land in Israel, while 80 per cent is owned by the state, and the rest by private individuals.
How to reconcile a society based individual liberty and equality of all citizens with the existence of specific cultures and separate arrangements, or even full cultural autonomy, for Arabs? A fundamental problem is that a majority of Arabs regard themselves as part of a particular culture, as "Palestinian Citizens of Israel" rather than as Israelis. They do not identify with the state of Israel, but rather with a Palestinian collective identity, even if it is partly based on a fallacious reading of history.
The Arab minority complains of the Israeli laws on immigration, use of state land, and exemption from compulsory military service, except for the Druze who have been conscripted sine 1956. The military rule that limited the movement of Arabs between 1948 and 1966 was ended, but serious gaps, economic, employment opportunities, educational, and political, still exist between the Arab and Jewish citizens.
Yet if Arabs complain of discrimination, they are not on the periphery of society. They benefit from formal equality and legal protection, especially by the Supreme Court. Arabic is the second official language of the country. They have their own autonomous primary educational system and administer their personal status of marriage and divorce by religious authorities. Public funds have been given for mosques and churches.
The Arab minority does participate in all forms of activity, including voting and being part of official institutions, and of the educated, business and professional class. These include mainstream political parties and also an Islamic Movement that opposes Israel's existence or its existence as a Jewish state. Arabs have been present as members of the Knesset, 17 in 2015, a judge on the Supreme Court, a member of the Prime Minister's Cabinet, ambassadors, army generals, and senior positions in the Israel police.
Israel, like other democratic countries, has a moral dilemma in dealing with minority groups. Plurality of cultures, political, ethnic, and religious, exist and minority rights are respected, but multiculturalism in the sense of separate communities cannot be sustained in a viable, successful national society.

jewdog says:
No society can accept an ethnicity or religion that does not accept it. As long as there are those who believe in the supremacy of their identity over others in the state, that state will be at war with those people. The expulsion of the Jews, and other minorities, from Islamic lands should serve as a warning to non-Muslims the world over of what can happen if they are not vigilant.

~ does the string concatenation. The dot in Perl 6 is now used for dealing with methods; thus, a new operator for the string concatenation was required. The tilde was a good candidate because it is also used in other string-related operators in Perl 6.
If necessary, the operator converts its operands to the string type.

3 Fires, Keil School, Convicted Paedo William Bain & Royalty!
Posted on:	 May 18, 2016	 Last updated on:	 May 18, 2016	 Comments:	1	Categorized in:	#PaedoUK, Scotland, UK Written by:	WildCat
I noticed a few days ago that NONE of the online newspapers actually named the school where Bain abused the 5 children. They all, very clumsily, skirted around the name (here) which set off my bullshit radar! So I started digging, trying to find the out which school it was & the reason why they wouldn't name it. Especially as they all happily named Glenalmond where he apparently didn't abuse (He didn't?! Ok then!)
He taught at Keil School in Dumbarton from 1980s until it closed in 2000. (& numerous others listed below)
Then I saw that the gentleman named below attended Keil. Could he be the reason for the secrecy?
Is the Royal link also why Keil School -oh so conveniently- went on fire twice before finally burning to the ground the third time in 2013?? (Presumably records all gone along with any DNA evidence) This would also have been around the same time Bain's paedo-ness was coming to light. How handy was that last fire?!
Alexander Douglas-Hamilton, 16th Duke of Hamilton
5 June 2010 – present: His Grace The Duke of Hamilton and Brandon
He inherited the following titles: Duke of Hamilton, Marquess of Douglas, Marquess of Clydesdale, Earl of Angus, Earl of Lanark, Earl of Arran and Cambridge, Lord Abernethy and Jedburgh Forest, Lord Machanshyre and Polmont and Lord Aven and Innerdale in the Peerage of Scotland, and Duke of Brandon and Baron Dutton, in the Peerage of Great Britain.[7]
(W O W His birthdays must be hard going. Can you imagine trying to fit all that on a gift tag?!!)
The express (article below) is the only paper to actually name Keil School. Fair play.
It would also appear that William/Bill/Billy Bain got around a fair bit and taught in several schools in UK. SOURCE Did he leave a trail of abused children in his wake? Take a look at who was at Robert Gordon's at same time…

Glenalmond College, Perthshire boarding school teacher, William Bain GUILTY of CHILD SEX ABUSE
Paedophile Teacher William Bain JAILED for 6+1/2 yrs
Teacher jailed for abusing boys at top Scots school By STEPHEN WILKE May 17, 2016
Bill Bain, who was head of electronics at £22,000-a-year Glenalmond College in Perthshire, was suspended immediately when the allegations emerged.
The 62-year-old was accused by five boys of abusing them when he was a housemaster at the now-defunct Keil School in Dumbarton between 1989 and 1995.
The pervert was finally caught last year when one sickened victim discovered his abuser was still teaching and called police.
At the High Court in Glasgow yesterday, Bain was jailed for six-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to five charges of using lewd and libidinous practices while employed as a teacher.
Judge Lady Scott told him the crimes were "persistent" sexual abuse and that he appeared to not have any "contrition" for what he had done. She said the jail term had been cut from eight-and-a-half years due to his guilty pleas.
Shamed Bain – who lived with his mother in Crieff, Perthshire – did not show any emotion as he was led handcuffed to the cells.
The 62-year-old was accused by five boys of abusing them between 1989 and 1995
He had been a teacher at Keil – one of Scotland's leading fee-paying schools, which closed in 2000 – and was subsequently promoted to housemaster.
Detective Inspector Grant MacLeod
Bain targeted boys in an empty classroom, a photography dark-room and in his private flat at the school.
The first boy was aged 11 when the abuse started. The next victim was a year older when Bain began molesting him several times-a-week.
Around the same time, Bain repeatedly preyed on a third boy, who was also 11 when the predator first pounced.
The fourth pupil was the same age as he was abused a total of 50 times.
Prosecutor, Ross McFarlane said the final victim – aged 12 – had spoken because he was being bullied at the school.
Bain left the Keil in 2000 and moved to exclusive Glenalmond College, which counts actor Robbie Coltrane, ex-Scotland rugby captain David Sole and the late newsreader Sandy Gall as former pupils.
After the hearing last month, a spokesperson for Glenalmond said Bain had been "immediately suspended" when the accusations first arose.
The statement went on: "Police Scotland made us aware of allegations of a child protection nature made against a former member teaching staff. These related to his previous employment and were not in connection with Glenalmond College."
Detective Inspector Grant MacLeod, who helped bring Bain to justice, last night said: "He is a dangerous predator ." SOURCE EXPRESS
Keil School aka Helenslee House
Buildings At Risk
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/
A fresh bid is being made to transform a crumbling historic building in Dumbarton.
Avant Homes, the new trading name for Bett Homes, wants to convert Helenslee House into 13 new flats. The developer has lodged plans for the former Keil School, and also hopes to create 26 new homes and a block of flats at the site.
The application, recently made to West Dunbartonshire Council's planning department, also includes a request to increase parking at the site from 10 spaces to 95.
If permission is granted, the revamped 19th century mansion would become a mixture of one and two bedroom flats.
This new application comes after Bett Homes failed to keep its promise to restore the former Keil School as part of a bigger development. The firm was originally given permission to build 11 houses and 12 flats on the site – on the special condition it renovated Helenslee House.
But a debt crisis stopped all works and, in February last year, the developer requested the condition was removed due to estimated costs rising to more than £4million.
This was unanimously rejected by councillors, and the firm was left in limbo as it had built 10 houses and a block of flats at the site. The next planning committee is on Wednesday, January 27. SOURCE DailyRecord
Firebugs have been targeting the former Keil School in Dumbarton.
Vandals struck at around 9.10pm on Saturday when emergency services received reports of pallets being set alight in the grounds of the Helenslee Road building.
A similar call was then received at around 2.15am this morning (Tuesday). The fire service extinguished both blazes and police have warned of the dangers associated with setting such fires. SOURCE DailyRecord

Jean-Michel Jarre, a leading composer and performer of electronic music, set Beirut on "Lights" during a single appearance at the Old Beirut Souks on 18 September 2010. The concert is part of Jarre's first world tour titled "2010" which pays tribute to his friend and famed science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke.
…Jarre performed a rich selection of his entire collection of works in a mesmerizing spectacle that shows the state-of-the-art sound, light and special effects technology that the French artist is known for worldwide. The unique audiovisual show was considered to be one of the biggest in the history of Lebanese events,
Just like the We group promised, the dreams turned out to become alive and live at Beirut souks transforming the skies into a piece of art.
The show also witnessed an amazing fireworks display to wrap up the already amazing production set at Beirut Souks, dazzling the audience and marking the inauguration festivities as glamorous.
Jarre, who has sold an estimated 80 million albums and singles, has earned four Guinness world records for the number of attendees in his unique concerts. Jarre has performed in front of millions of crowds at the Pyramids of Egypt, the Eifel Tower, the Sahara sand dunes in Morocco, in Beijing's Forbidden City and before Pope John-Paul II… to name a few… He was the first Western artist to play live in post-Maoist China in 1981. In 1997, a concert at Moscow's Red Square was attended by more than 3.5 million people, an open-air event record…
And now he has set a new landmark for his presence in Beirut; as part of Beirut Souks inauguration. The spectacular show further brings the limelight back to Beirut, a city for fashion and art.
More coming up next, stay tuned!!!

If a hostgroup is defined here (under the Host template) – this host will not be selected inside the "Member" field of the same "Host groups" definition! Therefore, if you select the name of a host group here, this same name will not be used under the "Members" field of the "Host groups" definition even if you select it.
By default, the auto detection engine of BLESK prefers to use the "Host groups" directive in the "Host" definition to identify the host group to which the host belongs.
