Travel and Leisure Magazine: The Perfect Destination for All Holiday ...

Going on vacation, each of us may want different things. Some of us are simply looking for a place to bask in the sun and enjoy blue waves, while others may wish to stroll around a foreign town and learn new cultures. Although some get their holiday fix from shopping, others may prefer to visit museums and marvel at ancient artifacts. As no one?s paradise destination is the same, then how can we fulfill all of these needs all at once? Fret not, whether for fun, knowledge, relaxation, or business; Greece is your go-to destination.

At one point in our history, Greece was the hub of civilization. It was so vibrant with culture and arts that even the Romans took cue from their customs and worships and made it their own. Thousands of years later, well beyond the times of Archimedes, Greece indeed has evolved into a modern tourist destination. Its many shopping centers and WHAT stand to testify to this. But first and foremost, Greece is still the center of culture and history it was. Within strolls length from our Athens hotel, for example, we can reach and rediscover the ruins of the Parthenon. Once the heat of the day is at its peak, we can easily walk into a restaurant and order a Greek salad in the comfort of the town center. It is this eclectic mix of the best of both ages that make Greece so interesting to visit. History buffs will feel right at home, while those seeking for a more serene environment can opt for a cruise on Greece?s glittering shores--Greece is known for the beauty and warmth of its lands as well as its people. If you are seeking for a vacation trip what will leave everyone in awe and satisfied, book a hotel Athens Greece; a trip to Greece is the very picture of a perfect vacation.

The Secret to Baby Boomer Dating Success ? Part 1 ? 3 Questions ...

Are you newly divorced, widowed or single? Thinking of diving (or wading) back into dating? What used to feel like a pool can now feel like an ocean, leaving you feeling out of the loop. Instead of throwing in the towel by settling for a fixed Saturday night date with your favorite hunks?Ben&Jerry?s or a solitary dinner, here?s a powerful way to take charge and transform your love life from fizzling to sizzling!As a savvy Boomer you should be objective. How will you start dating or find a partner if you don?t get back in the pool?on or offline? Don?t waste time swimming in circles!I have been in the dating pool myself and have helped countless Baby Boomers start dating again successfully after divorce, the loss of a partner or years of solitude. So I understand it can be pretty intimidating, especially if all you have heard are disaster stories, one after the other.Avoid (or lessen) the cold water shock and the struggle so many Baby Boomers, like yourself, are experiencing when it comes to testing the dating waters again. Taking the time to prepare yourself before taking that dive or dipping your toes in the pool will make a huge difference in your dating experience.Now grab a pen and some paper. Jot down the vital point I am about to reveal. It will literally determine if your love life sinks or swims.Savvy Baby Boomers get help.If you want to start enjoying a great dating life and get concrete results, you should invest in yourself and get help.

What do I want my life to look like? This is a great question to ask yourself when you are not quite sure what you want. It should be easier to describe what you want your life to look like. For example: I want to have a few romantic dates each week. I want to share my love for theatre with my new partner.2. How do I want to be treated by my date or new partner? How do I want to feel about my new lifestyle or relationship? When you know how you want to feel, you are unlikely to settle for treatment that is not what you want. For example: I feel safe, loved and respected in my new relationship.3. What challenges are keeping me back? Knowing what your challenges are will help you see clearly and take the action steps needed to get your love life back on track.This exercise has saved clients I have worked with from wasting precious time with incompatible people, time-wasters and bad dates. Following these two points will greatly increase your chances of finding a great date or wonderful new partner in less time.

North Carolina Sea Level Rises Despite Senators

News | Energy & Sustainability

Less than two weeks after the state's senate passed a climate science-squelching bill, research shows that sea level along the coast between NC and Mass. is rising faster than anywhere on Earth

From Nature magazine

Could nature be mocking North Carolina's law-makers? Less than two weeks after the state's senate passed a bill banning state agencies from reporting that sea-level rise is accelerating, research has shown that the coast between North Carolina and Massachusetts is experiencing the fastest sea-level rise in the world.

Asbury Sallenger, an oceanographer at the US Geological Survey in St Petersburg, Florida, and his colleagues analysed tide-gauge records from around North America. On 24 June, they reported in Nature Climate Change that since 1980, sea-level rise between Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and Boston, Massachusetts, has accelerated to between 2 and 3.7 millimetres per year. That is three to four times the global average, and it means the coast could see 20?29 centimetres of sea-level rise on top of the metre predicted for the world as a whole by 2100 ( A. H. Sallenger Jr et al. Nature Clim. Change http://doi.org/hz4; 2012).

?Many people mistakenly think that the rate of sea-level rise is the same everywhere as glaciers and ice caps melt,? says Marcia McNutt, director of the US Geological Survey. But variations in currents and land movements can cause large regional differences. The hotspot is consistent with the slowing measured in Atlantic Ocean circulation, which may be tied to changes in water temperature, salinity and density.

North Carolina's senators, however, have tried to stop state-funded researchers from releasing similar reports. The law approved by the senate on 12 June banned scientists in state agencies from using exponential extrapolation to predict sea-level rise, requiring instead that they stick to linear projections based on historical data.

Following international opprobrium, the state's House of Representatives rejected the bill on 19 June. However, a compromise between the house and the senate forbids state agencies from basing any laws or plans on exponential extrapolations for the next three to four years, while the state conducts a new sea-level study.

According to local media, the bill was the handiwork of industry lobbyists and coastal municipalities who feared that investors and property developers would be scared off by predictions of high sea-level rises. The lobbyists invoked a paper published in the Journal of Coastal Research last year by James Houston, retired director of the US Army Corps of Engineers' research centre in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and Robert Dean, emeritus professor of coastal engineering at the University of Florida in Gainesville. They reported that global sea-level rise has slowed since 1930 ( J. R. Houston and R. G. Dean J. Coastal Res. 27 , 409 ? 417 ; 2011) ? a contention that climate sceptics around the world have seized on.

Speaking to Nature, Dean accused the oceanographic community of ideological bias. ?In the United States, there is an overemphasis on unrealistically high sea-level rise,? he says. ?The reason is budgets. I am retired, so I have the freedom to report what I find without any bias or need to chase funding.? But Sallenger says that Houston and Dean's choice of data sets masks acceleration in the sea-level-rise hotspot.

North Carolina is not the only hotspot for efforts to legislate away the reality of sea-level rise. In 2011, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality removed all references to rising sea levels from a scientific study of Galveston Bay on the Gulf of Mexico. And this month, the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill commissioning a study on rising sea levels ? but only after references to sea-level rise and climate change had been removed.

Boo Boo's Jennifer Cawthorn on Moshi ... - Natural Baby Shower

?

?

Our Life in A Day series takes you on a a guided tour around the lives of our lovely suppliers: How they juggle family and business? What inspires them? Tips, truths, confessions and more. In our third post, we?re introducing Jennifer Cawthorn, co-founder of the highly successful natural skin-care brand Boo Boo:

?Being my own boss is great ? Corinna, my business partner and I launched Boo Boo because we couldn?t find any natural, effective, UK-made products to use on our babies. We were both on maternity leave at the time from our jobs as magazine editors. We decide to launch a Mummy and Baby range that looked as gorgeous as it was to use, that was natural and made in the UK. That was five years ago, now we?re stocked in John Lewis, Harrods, Selfridges and of course, brilliant independent stockists such as Natural Baby Shower.

Here?s a typical day:

?

7.00AM

I have my own 8-year old alarm clock in the shape of my son, Thomas, who wakes up around 6am every morning although he has strict instructions not to wake me before 7! My husband, Paul is usually leaving for work at this time and Maisy, my 7-year-old daughter is just waking up. We all shower (with Boo Boo Top to Toe wash of course!), dress and go downstairs for breakfast. The kids are big fans of a four-course breakfast ? usually starting with cereal or omelette and finishing with a variation of cheese, fruit and yoghurt or anything else they can find in the fridge. I make do with a cup of tea and a glass of juice to start with but I put a bowl of frozen raspberries next to the Aga to defrost ready for when I get back from school.

?

8.00AM

Now the children are older, they?re pretty up to speed with the morning routine although, there?s always a bit of chivving along to be done though and I find myself standing at the foot of the stairs shouting things like ?brush your teeth Thomas! Find your reading book Maisy! Have you been to the toilet?? I think I?ll find it hard to stop doing that ? even when they?re teenagers!

?

8.40AM

When we moved from London to Wakefield five years ago, my number one house-choosing rule was that we needed to live within walking distance to school! The walk wakes us all up and we?ll have a chat about who?s fallen out with who at school and what is the toy-of-the-moment: Moshi Monsters (Maisy), Lego (Thomas).

?

9.00AM

Fortunately the kids give me a kiss and now run happily into school ? for the first two years that they were both at school either one of them seemed to be clinging on to me and crying for me not to leave. I used to look at other kids skipping happily in and wonder what I was doing wrong! My husband jokes that I?m so soft with them, why would they want to go to school! But we?ve all grown-out of it thankfully.

?

9.20AM

Once home, I have my raspberries with yoghurt, pecans and honey and make a second cup of tea. Then I switch on Radio 2 (it?s my companion as I work alone at home!)? and settle down at my desk to start going through emails ? I usually get distracted by reading the gossip websites for any celebrity baby news I can pop on our Facebook site. I?m really lucky to work from home, it feels very relaxed, although it can feel lonely when there?s no office banter. Fortunately, I have a lovely friend, Nicola who comes in a couple of hours a day to help out with orders etc. and I?m always on the phone to stockists and suppliers who I have a good rapport with.

?

10AM

Once I?ve dealt with emails, I?ll open up our To Do list ? because Corinna, my business partner and I live 200 miles apart, we rely on technology to ensure we are working well together ? as well as numerous phone calls, we use Dropbox on our computers where we share all our files. Our To Do list grows by the day but without it I?d definitely stray off course. I?ll spend most of the morning sorting out shop orders, speaking to stockists and web customers and generally making sure everyone?s happy.

?

12AM

I?m always ready for lunch, working alone, I need little markers during the day as an excuse to get up and stretch my legs. Lunch is usually whatever?s floating around in the fridge ? a cheese and tomato sandwich, leftovers ? nothing very exciting. If it?s a nice day I?ll eat it in the garden and 20 minutes away from my screen. Paul will usually phone from work so we?ll have a ten minute chat about our day so far.

?

1PM to 3pm

The time flies by in the afternoon! I only have limited uninterrupted time because I leave my? desk at 3pm to pick the kids up from school. Suddenly, I?m aware of the clock ticking and all the things I need to get done! I may have a blog to write, phone calls to make or label words for one of our new products so I try and keep my eyes off my emails and get my head down ? emails make it easy to get distracted! At the moment, Corinna and I are working on some exciting new products, as well as getting the formulas perfect we can spend hours and hours making sure the packaging is beautiful ? fortunately, we have very similar tastes so we usually agree.

?

3pm to 6pm

A dash out of the door to get the kids. Once home ?it?s snack time, homework and, more often than not, either Brownies, swimming or numerous friends home for tea. While the kids are playing, I?ll keep checking emails and answering calls ? the problem with having a home business is that I can?t just switch it on and off to fit in with my routine. If a customer calls while I?m getting fish fingers out from under the grill then I just have to sound as professional as possible. Usually, our customers, especially women, totally understand when there?s a bit of multi-tasking going on in the background!

?

6PM to 8PM

Paul gets home from work and the kids jump all over him and he takes on the role of entertainer (which he?s very good at) I?ll put some dinner on (something easy like pasta or shepherds pie) and we?ll sit down and talk about our day. Then it might be a family game of Scrabble, Paul may play Super Mario on the X box with Thomas while me and Maisy do some colouring-in or, if it?s a nice evening, we?ll sit outside with a cup of tea while, the kids will play on the trampoline or on their rollerskates and skateboards.

?

8.30PM

I?m quite strict about bedtime for the children on a school night ? it?s lights out at 8.30pm. Once they?re tucked up, Corinna and I will have our evening phone call. Our business has always worked around our families ? for the last three years we?ve spoken at 8.30pm once the kids have gone to bed? ? Corinna has a boy and a girl the same age too. We?ll plan the next day?s tasks, ?perhaps look at designs of labels on our screens together and talk about orders etc. but it?s always interspersed with lots of chit chat too ? we were friends for 14 years before we launched the business so we always want to know what?s going on in each other?s lives.

?

9.30PM

After work, Paul and I will usually flop on the sofa and watch some telly! I have a addiction to reality TV ? Gypsy Weddings, The Voice, One Born Every Minute ? I love it all. I always stay up later than I should but usually head off for my nightly bath with Boo Boo Splendidly Soothing Bath Soak at about 10.30PM and try and be in bed for 11PM. Paul has to be up earlier than me so he?s usually pestering me to switch the light off ? I have a little light on my Kindle so I usually curl up with that on- much easier than a torch under the duvet!?

?

Thanks so much for sharing this with us Jennifer, good luck with everything :)

Take a look at Boo Boo?s all-natural range here (we just love the quirky retro packaging)

Our all time favourites in the range are the ?Luxury Mummy Spa Kit:

And?Boo Boo Soothing?Bottom Butter, perfect for delicate wee bums!

When to Seek out Marriage Counselling | welcome to nwactc.net

All relationships go through phases and have their ups and downs, however there are many situational and also relationship issues that can benefit from lovers counseling. Life?s stresses ? from a abrupt death to unexpected or extended lack of employment, or even the joyous arrival of the new member of the family in the house ? all may take their cost on the better of relationships. It?s often not the team event, but how folks react to it individually and as a couple. Instead of pulling together, couples may pull aside as one or both take away or flip the stress directly into anger.

Marriage counseling can help each individual manage the stress, identify the dynamics that are yanking the relationship aside, and encourage the couple to emerge from the specific situation as a team. Additionally, it may address emergencies such as mistrust or abusing drugs.

Even in healthy relationships, it may be common with regard to couples to shed their experience of one another and also drift aside. This is a standard cycle that may often be remedied without outside the house help, however, if unaddressed for a extended period, or fueled simply by underlying problems in the relationship, it can very easily mushroom and become hard to turn around.

Marriage counseling may uncover the causes of pulling aside ? through communication problems and wavering conflict, to unmet needs or unrealistic anticipation ? and also teach communications specific for the couple, help out with conflict quality, and sparkle a light on unfulfilled wants or the harmful influence involving unrealistic anticipation. Marriage remedy can help you stay on course back and also reconnect your person you once fell in love with.

Typically couples come to therapy if they are desperate, as a last resort, if the relationship is at jeopardy. This can be understandable for several reasons. Typically one person will require therapy although their partner has doubts. Also, it?s not uncommon to feel embarrassed, or think that the down sides will go apart in time. Nevertheless, relationship troubles are more easily settled when they are known before the point when each partner bicker consistently, can hardly tolerate the particular other?s presence or more serious, just will not care any longer.

While many lovers make a good decision to seek counseling, it is often one partner who starts with the some other following reluctantly, anticipating that every of their actions will be mauled and no puts at risk will be created by their partner, especially when there are issues including infidelity or substance abuse. It is usually common for men to concern that a women counselor will take the woman?s side. The counselor?s function is not to look at sides, however to champ the couple and each partner, and make certain that are heard.

Efficient marriage guidance requires skimp and a readiness to change. Adjustments may be different ways of interacting within the relationship, or individual modifications relating to the actions of one or both partners ? ideally each partner, but even when only one partner is willing to switch, it can have a very positive influence on the relationship.

Should your partner is reluctant to appear in, consider arriving at therapy on your own, as this is likely to affect alternation in your relationship. It is not unconventional for people to participate their companions in remedy because they sense less confronted, have more expect, don?t want to remain out, or they?re just simple curious.

The particular dynamics of the relationship are generally complex. A marriage counselor won?t make selections about mistake ? assigning blame is not a part of good therapy. Instead, their function is to be non-judgmental although facilitating greater communication involving you and your partner, and also helping investigate your issues productively. While many couples seek help to fix or improve their relationship, others make the decision to separate. Therapy can also be valuable in these cases to minimize the particular negative influence on each individual, and also address the actual issues as a way to minimize their effect on long term relationships.

Widespread areas dealt with by union therapy and also couples guidance include:

Repeated Fighting
Not necessarily feeling close/feeling sentimentally disconnected
Determination Issues, i.e. mistrust
Parenting Arguments
Sexuality, i.e. loss in desire
Harmful addictions
Physical sickness of do it yourself or partner
Abuse (verbal or actual)
Financial Worries/Extended Unemployment/Money Issues
Grief and also Loss
Extended Family Challenges
Bi-Cultural Variations
Life Changes, i.e. job modify, retirement
Option Lifestyle Troubles
Divorce Mediation
