Why Do Guys…?

Why Do Guys Seem Mean To Girls For No Reason? Why He Is Teasing You

in How Men Attract Women, Quick Guy Question and Answers, Why Do Guys Do
Guy Mean Pointing Teasing Flirt

Most guys are mean to girls for one reason and one reason alone – they’re teasing you because they LIKE you. They’re feeling attracted to you and this is how they’re showing you.

By teasing you (or being a little rude or mean) they’re trying to show you they’re confident and a little indifferent. Which, admit or not, is raising your interest in him and what he’s doing (or else you wouldn’t be asking this question) AND they’re getting you a little attracted to them.

Here’s how it’s seen from our side – a man’s perspective when he’s being taught how to attract you.

“Remember when you were just an eight-year-old kid on the playground?

There were all these ‘strange‘ creatures playing around the sandbox. They were called girls, and they seemed so bizarre and foreign to you.

They were delicate and interesting in a way that you couldn’t quite explain, but you knew that they were different.

How do kids treat those that are different?

They tease them.

  • “Mary, Mary, she’s so hairy!”
  • “Where’d you get that backpack? Looks like a hunchback!”
  • “Jenny’s got a CARROT top!”

Boys teased girls. Girls teased boys.

Everyone made fun of everyone else.

It was sandlot politics at its best, and you learned very quickly that you had to develop a callus to the teasing, or you’d get bruised pretty badly. (Some kids never adjusted, and grew up with their own sandbox issues.)

Ah, what fun those days were.

Well, sort of.

We learned some very primitive social interactions there, but the principles still held for many of us.

(Hey, whether or not you like it, we’re a lot closer to those kids in the playground than the adults you think we are. Everyone is still a little kid inside.)

I’ll be willing to bet you that you teased more girls because you liked them than you did because of any genuine weirdness.

Sure, there’s some cruelty, but the first social interaction most boys have with girls is when they teased them mercilessly.

And what happened?

The girls stuck up for themselves.

They teased back.

And they didn’t realize it at the time, but this set in motion a whole pattern of behavior that led to them being very interested and attracted when they are CHALLENGED.

That’s right, boys.

Teasing is all about raising the stakes of challenge to her, and letting her know that you don’t get all mushy inside when you get near a girl.

No confidence = no attraction from her.

Tease to Please is a simple strategy.

By teasing, you emulate a lot of the self-confidence you need to demonstrate with a woman.”

Written by Carlos Cavallo.

The dating advice guru.  Creator of many products for women looking to figure out and attract men – starting with:

How To Read Signals – Instantly Know What He Wants From You!

This is his way to begin the flirting process.

It’s giving him a reason to talk to you or get you to talk to them.

He’s trying display confidence by showing you he has the balls to tease you whereas a nice guy (who normally doesn’t have much luck or success with women) wouldn’t dare try on you.

He’s showing indifference by proving to you that he really doesn’t seem to care if you like him or what you think of them.

Although in a very strange twist – just by teasing you or being mean to you is actually proving the opposite – and that he DOES like you or cares that you’ll like him back, right?

“He’s out to stir your emotions not unlike the good “ribbing” he may give his friends. Except he’s doing it a little differently with you. At least I hope he is. Mostly he’s looking to have some fun with you.”

Why Do Men Continue to Do Something When They Know it Bothers You.

By using this indifference in this way he’s also (mostly unknowingly) is leading you to believe he doesn’t want you.

Because who in their right mind would be mean to someone they like, thus sending a signal that you can’t have him.

Yes – telling anyone they can’t have someone is normally a good way to make them want it.

“When there’s no real challenge to prove we are, attraction fails. Why you like those who don’t want you and not like the guys who do want you.”

Why The Guys You Like Don’t Want You But You Don’t Want The Ones Who Do.

That’s the main most common reason why a guy is mean to a girl…

To flirt, tease, open you up, make you want him, show confidence, appear indifferent, encourage you to want him.

But there’s more…

Another type of guy who doesn’t feel good enough or capable of being with you tries a nasty trick on you.

Keep in mind – this is rare and most of the time he doesn’t even know he is doing it. It’s even more rare when a guy actually knows he’s doing therefore he IS doing it on purpose.

This is how it works.

When a guy is being OVERLY MEAN to you he is attempting to lower your self-esteem.

He needs to lower it below his and since his is quite low – he must drag you down even further.

Rather than lift himself up – he’ll push you down.

He (well I shouldn’t say he because is actually an all too common social game some “people” play in all areas of life) teases you negatively to make himself appear like he has a higher social status than you AND he’s trying make himself look unattainable.

The purpose is to make you once again feel attracted to him.

The difference between the normal flirting or teasing guy above and this guy is the context he’s using in, how mean he’s being, what he’s poking fun at, at his overall character as man.

Argue all you want but I’d say the first type’s true intention is not to knock you down. He’s just looking to make you laugh with him.

The bigger picture of all this being mean stuff is the effect it is having on you… Which is why attraction experts teach this method to guys.

To get you to feel attracted to a guy, he MUST create some kind of emotional reaction or response.

Unfortunately that response doesn’t always have to be nice, does it?

Encouraging your anger, confusion, or self-doubt will tend to bring you closer to feeling attracted to him any day over a guy who is being creepily nice and kissing your ass all the time.

The purpose is the same… to stir your emotions and create attraction.

Without it – you’ll feel nothing, you probably wouldn’t care, you won’t think about him and why he’s doing it AND you wouldn’t be here today asking this question.

Now men have a choice – most don’t know they have it but they do.

They can traverse the line of just busting your ass a little and having fun with you – which you must admit especially when you give back just as much or more to him can be quite fun OR…

They can cross the line to just being a rude prick who only knows how to piss women off.

You’ll see women with both types of guys MORE than you’ll see a happy woman with some fake nice guy who lacks esteem and confidence and doesn’t have a clue on how to make you FEEL something for them.

PLUS those overly nice guys don’t seem real, do you? It’s like they have some hidden agenda or something or they think they’re better than everyone else – just because they’re nice.

Okay enough of that…

In conclusion.

Age might matter here but it’s not the determining factor.

The fact remains – a guy will be mean or tease a girl because he likes her and that is not only his way of showing her – it’s always his way of trying to stir or trigger your interest and then attraction for him.

In many of your interactions with men this will be true because it’s the end-game.

He could be trying to put you down to build himself up OR could doing in in cool fun way – but both are essentially trying to achieve the same result.

One is minus the pain and hurt.

The other is plus the fun and connection.

For the rare event he’s just a bully AND is poking fun at you because of that – sorry to hear and I DO hope he figures things out before he hurts too many women and emotionally and eventually physically.

Now… just so you know:

I’ve been on the nice side.

Dabbled on the not-so-nice side when I first learned this routine which believe it or not has a name. (This is between you and me so keep the secret – it’s called cocky-comedy and YES it works on guys too.)

My cross-over to the bad side happened because it’s a tough thing to learn to do right at first. I had to practice and learn the right balance and once I did, stopped pissing women off so much.

My point is:

Once I started doing it the RIGHT WAY with a decent balance – It had amazing results.

I’m not advocating being mean to girls just making a definitive point that since it does work on men and women – you could be assured MOST of the time when a guy is doing to you…

When he’s teasing you – he LIKES you… he’s feeling attracted to you…

AND he’s doing what he can to get YOU to like HIM back.

I find this stuff absolutely amazing. Hope you do too.

    I think the way a guy relates to a girl, or anyone is directly related to his sense of self worth… I’ve never met a man who knew how to love himself never mind me.

  • Liliana

    I don’t know how old this is, but I’ll ask anyway. I’m a high school student and the boy who sits next to me always messes with me. He insults me, sneaks up on me and scares me, and he makes me feel bad about myself. I don’t understand why he’s doing it. And honestly, he’s scaring me.

    • Charlie

      Ok,a lot of people always say that the “mean-scary” guy is attracted to you but it does not always mean he loves you!Guys who do these mean things to girlsdo the exact opposite to love .Don’t always trust this advise…

      • Peter White

        I don’t find the word “love” mentioned once in this article. In other words – don’t always trust the guy’s advice on advice when the one giving the opinion didn’t even take the time to read it.

    • Peter White

      The answer is above Liliana. I see no reason why your situation is any different. There is always a chance he’s just a bully but to know that – you must look at how he interacts with ALL people and a very general look at how he might see himself AND a little on his abilities with women.

  • Sarah

    I have a crush on this guy
    He asked me out on a date
    And he’s very confusing
    Sometimes he’s all lovey dovey and then again he’s being rude and sometimes won’t reply to my texts and when he does he’ll be like “yes ” or “no”
    Does he like me or not?

    • Peter White

      He asked you out… then he likes you.

  • Anna

    It’s weird because I see these explanations everywhere but there’s nothing sexier than a man who knows how to treat a woman with respect and kindness.
    If a man teases me, I get hurt and think he’s insecure about his…manliness.
    I want a man who can protect me not a man I need to be protected from.

    Surely, I am not the only woman who find teasing (or as it often is: bullying) the biggest turnoff of all time?

    • Peter White

      You’re absolutely right Anna. There are several kinds of teasing but whenever it even comes close to “Bullying” it’s not attractive at all.

  • Jerissa

    This guy and I had a thing for eachother and now hes being mean. Something happened between us and now he’s cutting me off completely. It hurts because I love him

  • kayle

    Hi Peter I’m Kyle and it was nice to find someone who could talk about the deeper nature in men and their hidden “layers” and I just wanted to ask something, “What is the difference between a guy who is outright Bullying you versus a guy who is playing a mean asshole just to see if you react they way he wants you to because he likes you and is or attracted to you”?by bullying I mean hes doing it out of insecurity inferiority

    • Peter White

      Thank you and Hello,

      Honestly, I don’t see any difference between a guy who is bullying you and a guy who is playing a mean asshole. “Play fight flirting” is one thing but when a guy crosses the line to mean asshole, (whether he’s doing it just because he likes you and is trying to get a response from you or not) then we might as well call it bullying.

      When you think about it, both are coming from a lack of security and therefore both essentially mean the same thing.

  • Jai

    A coworker who is in his 50s does this to me. It started out of nowhere and now there’s regular banter. I think he started this to interact and to throw the coworkers off (it’s clear to everyone he’s interested) and now we continue this banter. But how do I get us past this stage and get him to ask me out? He got my attention and now there’s a mutual interest b he t I’m afraid he’ll just keep it like this.

Turbine 'will harm countryside'

A 70m (230ft) wind turbine planned for the Sussex Downs will harm a protected landscape, campaigners have claimed.

Glyndebourne Opera House has said the turbine will generate the equivalent of its entire annual electric consumption.

But Tom Oliver, from the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), said the turbine would be “clearly visible from a great tract of the countryside”.

Campaigners, including the CPRE, are giving evidence on Wednesday at a public inquiry into the plans.

The six-day inquiry into the planned 850kw turbine on Mill Plain, between Ringmer and Lewes, is being held at the White Hart Hotel in Lewes.

‘Sad irony’

Mr Oliver said the turbine blades would disrupt the “magnificence” of the Downs and distract anyone seeking to find inspiration from the landscape.

He added: “There is growing consensus that the experience of tranquillity is beneficial to human health and well-being.”

He said: “It is a sad irony that Glyndebourne, which is rightly renowned for creating one kind of beauty, should care little that their scheme could deprive so many people of another precious experience.”

David Murray, from the Ramblers’ Association, said CPRE findings showed both the scale and location was inappropriate.

And Jacquetta Fewster, director of the South Downs Society, said people visited the area to get away from “rush and noise” and to take in “unspoilt views”.

“The challenge is to build renewable energy technology which doesn’t destroy the tranquillity and beauty we all cherish so much,” she said.

Officials at Glyndebourne have said the turbine forms part of their vision to cut carbon emissions by 71% and make the venue more environmentally sustainable.

Last week, veteran wildlife broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, 81, said he “greatly applauded” the move.

Family Fun Kickoff in Windham

With plenty of festivities for friends and family, July 4th kicks off summer in Windham.  It’s also the time when Windham Foundation’s sponsored programs begin to roll out. This year started off with the seventh annual concert by the OMNY Taiko drummers at the Windham Civic Center. The group, led by Grammy award winner Koji Nakamura, performed with an intensity and energy that moved the audience.  As the audience cheered for an encore, the drums and harmony of the group echoed throughout Windham.  The event grows with popularity each year and is truly a special treat for the community every summer. In addition to funding the Taiko Drum concert, the Foundation also contributed to group’s equipment fund.

The weeks festivities continued with Windham’s annual July 4th Parade on Main Street.  Fireworks followed at Windham Mountain, also thanks to a contribution by Windham Foundation. So as another 4th of July celebration ends, the countdown for next year’s concert and festivities begin again. The fun does not stop though, summer programs funded by the Windham Foundation continue to roll out, one by one beginning with the Sugar Maples Art Explorer program, followed by the Library Reading program, July 14 Gala concert at the Windham Civic Center, the Black Dome Music Festival, and the 23Arts concert, Swingin’ the Songbook on September 1, Labor Day weekend, featuring the Catskill Jazz Factory Collective.

Megabucks Progressive Jackpot

Megabucks Logo

Megabucks, created by International Game Technology (IGT), may well be the most famous pokies machine in the world today. Megabucks developed by IGT can be found at online casinos specially also played at Nevada and Las Vegas. This almost certainly the largest jackpot pokies in the world, but it was also the first one to link machines from many different casinos in an effort to generate the largest reward possible.

What is Megabucks game about?

In the 5 reel Megabucks game there are a few minor variations. Firstly, are the mini progressives in the form of mini-bucks, minor-bucks, major-bucks and max bucks. These are awarded when you hit 2 or more progressive jackpot symbols on a spin that turn into a gold bar and take up the entire reel. The prizes range from $10 – $500 for hitting 2 or more on a single spin. The longer time these prizes aren’t won, the bigger the prize for hitting them, as they increase during each spin of the reels. Cabinets come in red, green (Megabucks Emerald 7s) and yellow, though blue is commonly found too in the Megabucks Wild Sapphires game which is in fact a 6 reel pokies with a 3-reel “Mega Game” above the standard reels. There are a number of other variations too including Megabucks pink diamonds, triple diamond strike and a Wheel of Fortune style game.

How to Play Megabucks Progressive Jackpot?

Megabucks how to play

In order to play Megabucks, you’ll first need to head on down to the nearest casino that offers the pokies machine. The next step is to put some money into the machine. While the machines can be a themed slightly differently, this game is typically a standard three-reel pokies machine with a single payline. You can play up to three coins on each spin, each of which will cost you $1 to play. The game also comes in 5 reel format.

In most ways, this is a pretty standard machine. You’ll want to match symbols so that you can get a three-of-a-kind across the payline, with the standard cherries, bars and sevens appearing on the reels. The symbol you’re really looking for is the Megabucks symbol, as three of those will earn you the biggest prizes in the game.

How to win Megabucks Progressive Jackpot?

Mega Bucks Progressive Jackpot

To aim for winning the Megabucks progressive jackpot you must bet all three coins or $3 on a spin, and then hit the three Megabucks symbols right across your payline. It’s as simple as that: hit the combination, and you’ll be taking home the prize of a lifetime.

The machine has given out over $20 million on several occasions now, and the average amount is said to be a little more than $15 million. It is but not very likely to win this jackpot often as the odds of hitting the three logos are 1 in 49,836,032 and the players have a 1/368 chance of hitting the Megabucks logo symbol on each reel every time they spin. Finally, it is worth noting that the millions will be paid out as an annuity over the course of 25 years.

What Are the Best Tips for Making Truffle Butter?

There are a few things a cook can do to make sure that truffle butter tastes good and stays fresh. The quality of the truffles and the butter have a great influence on the taste of the finished truffle butter, so only high-quality ingredients should be used. The butter should be fluffed before the truffle is added to it so that the flavor can be spread throughout.

The first step in making truffle butter is determining what type of truffles to use. Fresh truffles can be purchased in many parts of the world, but they can be very expensive. Either white or black truffles can be used in a truffle butter, and each will give the butter a slightly different flavor. Alternatively, truffle oil can be used to give butter the flavor of truffles, making this type of butter much less expensive to make.

Any type of butter can be used to make truffle butter. Many cooks use regular, store-bought butter as the base for this dish. Either salted or unsalted butter can be used, though many cooks prefer to use unsalted butter so that the saltiness can be carefully controlled. It is also possible to create homemade butter by placing cream in a food processor and blending it until the butter solids and buttermilk separate. Homemade butter will often give truffle butter a better flavor, but it can be a little more time consuming to make.

Whether a cook uses store-bought or homemade butter, one of the most important things to do when making truffle butter is to fluff the butter with a mixer. If the butter is solid, the flavor of the truffles cannot be infused into it. Once the butter is light and fluffy, truffle oil or fresh truffle can be mixed with it. If fresh truffle is being used, it should be shaved into small, thin pieces so that it is incorporated throughout the butter. When adding truffles or truffle oil to butter, the butter should be tasted frequently so that the strength of the truffle flavor can be adjusted to the taste of the cook.

After the truffles and butter have been thoroughly mixed together, the butter can be wrapped and allowed to set. Wax paper works well when wrapping truffle butter because it does not stick to the butter. If the butter is going to be used right away, it can be kept in the refrigerator, otherwise it should be stored in the freezer and allowed to soften just before it is used.

@ocelot60- I frequently make truffle butter with truffle oil, and I prefer it this way. I think that the oil makes the butter much creamier than using chopped pieces of truffles. I also like that you don't have to spend as much money on the oil as you would on actual truffles.

If you decide to make truffle butter using truffle oil, you can ensure that your mixture is creamy by allowing the butter to soften at room temperature first. Once it is somewhat soft, stir it with a spoon until it develops a creamy consistency. Finally, add the truffle oil and continue to stir the butter.

I think you will enjoy the texture and the flavor of truffle butter made this way, and that you will love using your it with a variety of dishes.

Post 1

I have never made truffle butter, but I want to give it a try. I am finding that truffles are hard to find in my area, though. Does anyone have experience making truffle butter with oil? Is it just as flavorful as truffle butter made with chopped truffles?

ECMS joins forces with In-Comm Training to launch National Press and Tooling Centre

The University of Wolverhampton’s Elite Centre for Manufacturing Skills (ECMS) has formed an exciting partnership with In-Comm Training to help boost UK manufacturing skills.

The ECMS’ new National Press and Tooling Centre, designed and developed in conjunction with the Confederation of British Metalforming, will be located at the training provider’s Aldridge academy and will focus on delivering toolmaking apprenticeships and technical courses for more than 2000 people.

Over £1.4m has been invested in creating a modern toolroom that features a host of new equipment and two 110 tonne state-of-the-art presses sourced by Bruderer UK and Worcester Presses - complete with the latest servo feed, decoiling equipment and robotics.

A £500,000 state-of-the-art BSTA-280 tonne press will also be arriving in November to complete the line-up.

Gareth Jones, Managing Director at In-Comm Training, said: “We have listened to what industry wants and designed a centre that is equipped with world class machinery and where world class training will be delivered by some of the finest technical experts in the business.

“No other organisation in the Midlands is currently offering this kind of training facility and we are expecting demand to be huge, especially with toolmaking considered a dying manufacturing art.

He continued: “We already have a very strong relationship with the University of Wolverhampton, having worked with them on a number of previous projects. Together, we are looking forward to welcoming our first intake of apprentices and supporting more manufacturers in the Midlands and the rest of the UK.”

Ian Fitzpatrick, Chief Executive of the ECMS, added his support: “It’s well known that the manufacturing industry has an ageing workforce and that bespoke training courses -specifically matching industry requirements - can be quite difficult to source.

“Our aim at the ECMS is to give our learners a clear line of sight and a career pathway from Levels 2, 3 and 4, through to Higher National Certificate and Diploma and then Degree Apprenticeships. By partnering with organisations such as In-Comm we can offer a complete or bespoke training package for the manufacturing sector through both practical and theoretical learning.”

In-Comm Training, which operates its own Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ academy in Aldridge and the Marches Centre of Manufacturing & Technology in Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury, is one of the UK’s leading training providers, working across more than 10 sectors and with 250 different companies.

It delivers over 500 apprenticeships every year and more than 100 bitesize and in-depth training courses, covering business improvement techniques, quality, lean manufacturing and applications engineering.

About the ECMS

ECMS is a collaboration between the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership, University of Wolverhampton, Dudley College, Cast Metals Federation, Confederation of British Metalforming, Institute of Cast Metals Engineers and In-Comm Training.

Partners have invested £12.6 million in the future of manufacturing in the region by opening bespoke, dedicated training centres and working with existing training providers to equip people with manufacturing skills including casting, toolmaking, patternmaking, metalforming, forging and foundry training, as well as mechatronics, product design and development and advanced computer numerical control.

In addition to its new partnership with In-Comm Training, the ECMS runs the UK’s only National Foundry Training Centre based in Tipton and has its Hub at the £100 million Springfield Campus in Wolverhampton as well as working with Dudley College.

Apprentices learn on the job at one of the ECMS’s training Hub or Spokes equipped with new training rooms, metallurgy and metrology labs with access to partner training centres and state-of-the-art engineering facilities.

All apprenticeships meet the New Apprenticeship Standards with a variety of delivery models available.

Employers or potential apprentices should contact Trevor Codner at the ECMS on 0800 953 3222 or 01902 321663. More information on In-Comm Training can be found at or by following @incomm_training on twitter.

10 Things Never to Say to Moms Returning from Maternity Leave

These all-too-common questions and comments make things worse in an already tricky situation

Getty Images

Going back to work after spending round-the-clock time with a needy newborn is undoubtedly one of the biggest transitions a woman can make. Please don't make the change harder by saying any of these, which real new moms shared as the worst things they heard from friends, relatives and colleagues.

1. "A daycare center is no place for a baby." Actually, daycare centers are exactly that: places for babies! Working moms weigh their childcare options carefully, and do their due diligence before dropping off their precious cargo. So it's insulting when people ask questions like, "Is the daycare center clean? Safe? Licensed?" says a mom of two in Toronto, because that implies the mom would send her new addition anywhere that wasn't. You can ask, "How will your baby be spending his days while you're at work?" if you're curious.

2. "You should've stayed home longer. He's still so little." A mom of two in Compton, CA, got this gem. In the U.S., bigger companies aren't obligated to hold your position for you after more than a 12-week hiatus. So if a job is what a mom needs or wants, she's likely going to return at the 12-week mark, whether or not you think she should. Plus, a mom knows full well how small her baby is. She's the one who holds him.

RELATED: 9 Things Never to Say to a Working Mom >>

3. "You haven't used your brain in a while; I'll give you time to get back into work mode." A new mom in Baltimore says, "I got a project from my boss and we had some miscommunication on the content." Instead of explaining what went wrong, and having her make it right like the manager would with any other employee, he focused on how she needed time to re-learn how to work...and brought that up again months later. While many women returning from maternity leave appreciate a chance to ease into things, getting special treatment while getting talked down to isn't what they have in mind.

4. "Welcome back. Here are 20 things you need to do immediately." The polar opposite of the above is just as annoying to new working moms. "A supervisor assigned me six major projects my first month back. The usual is four a year," reports a mom of one in Lafayette, LA. Attention managers: An adjustment period of a day or two (or three) is welcome, and by all means, request as much work of the returning employee as you'd ask of anyone else. But demanding extra? Those 12 weeks aren't vacation days; they're time away from the job to do different work—and recover. And speaking of…

5. "Hope you enjoyed your baby vacation." Sure, if your idea of vacationis feeding a tiny human as often as hourly, getting fits and bursts of rest and routinely getting sprayed with spit-up, urine and yes, even poop, all while healing from the hardest work most bodies ever have to do, then yes, call it a baby vacation. True, there are many tender moments between mom and baby that are as blissful as any bona fide getaway, but caring for a newborn is hard work. It's OK to say that you hope she enjoyed some time away from the office, though.

RELATED: 9 Things Never to Say to a Stay-at-Home Mom >>

6. "Five days 'til you're back! Four! Three!" The only clock louder than a biological one may be the maternity leave one. Adding your voice to the countdown only makes a woman anxious—on top of the anxiety she's undoubtedly feeling from merely enduring this huge change. There are plenty of moms who are eager to return to work, yet even many of them think their leave ending is bittersweet. Better to say (once) that you're looking forward to seeing her again without a reminder of how long until your reunion.

7. "You should quit/work part-time/work from home." Moms across the country reported hearing this. Odds are, you don't have the whole story on what's motivating the mom to return to work. It can be purely financial. But even if her spouse's income can support a family of 50, she simply may want to work, which has its own benefits for mommy and baby alike. Coming into contact with a working mom doesn't entitle you to try to persuade her to do what you think is best while her child is young. But if you suspect she's looking for a more flexible arrangement, and you're able to get her one, let her know.

8. "You're pumping breast milk at work?! How long are you going to keep doing that?" "None of your business!" says a mom of two in Thousand Oaks, CA. Most employers are obligated to accommodate most moms who want to pump on the job. Breastfeeding can be an incredibly personal topic. Unless the mom brings it up to you first, or you're her boss and you need to know when she'll be away from her desk, don't broach this topic.

9. "Is he sleeping through the night?" New parenthood is exhausting, especially because it's common for 12-week-olds to wake once or more while baby-less adults would be snoozing. Avoid reminding a mom who's just returned to work about her fatigue, unless you're offering to cover a 2 A.M. feeding for her.

10. Nothing. "When I went back to work, my coworkers, whom I thought were my friends, would publicly invite each other to hang out, but not include me anymore," shares a mom of two in the U.K. While many moms of babies are eager to get home after work as soon as possible, there may not be a group of people more in need of a break than new mothers. So invite her out as often as you would pre-baby her, and don't take it personally if she does need or want to head home ASAP.

Girls' Mentor Program (5th-6th)

About the Program

The purpose of our mentor program is to make our students strong from the inside out--to build resilience. Students these days, especially our girls, need the support of a “village” to help them navigate a world that continues to send mixed messages through a variety of media sources. The village we intend to build consists of the girls’ families, Woodland faculty and its community. This program includes a female mentor who will act as an additional positive role model. The unique experiences and insights that each girl will gain by having a mentor will enhance her education at Woodland as well as be a rewarding and growth experience for each mentor as well.

What is a mentor?

What is a mentor?

A Mentor is a woman who provides a female student with support, counsel, friendship, and reinforcement. She is a role model. Mentors help to bring out the best in their mentees. Successful mentors have proven to be committed, dependable, and flexible. They will exercise good judgment in interacting with their mentee and mentee family.

Our Mentors:

  • Help build connections
  • Don’t need to have all the answers
  • Listen clearly and openly
  • Encourage and inspire
  • Expose new ideas and directions
  • Provide information and feedback

What is a mentee?

What is a mentee?

A Mentee is a 5th or 6th grade female student who develops herself with the assistance of her mentor (and the rest of the village).

Our Mentees:

  • Help develop the relationship by finding common interests
  • Show initiative
  • Take responsibility for their development
  • Identify goals and plans for the future with their mentors
  • Provide positive feedback and encouragement to their mentors

Mentor commitment

Mentor Commitment

  • One event, one weekend day a month, total 9 events.
  • One other “in-person” contact (preferably at the school, or off-site with parental permission only) in between events.

As Mentors you commit to join your mentee at each scheduled monthly Mentor Event (typically at the school on a weekend) and have at least one other “in-person” interaction with your mentee during the same month. We also request that you regularly phone or email your mentee to maintain the momentum in building your relationship. We are relying on you to ensure that your mentee attends all mentor events. Be sure that you have connected to your mentee’s family (and be sure they have the list of events). You can support your mentee in developing responsibility for remembering and following through on getting to these events.

We know parental support is a key success factor in fostering a strong mentor/mentee relationship. We will introduce parents to the program as well and encourage them to support their daughter’s participation in this program. It will be beneficial for you to look for opportunities to build rapport with your mentee’s parents as the year progresses.

Essence of Fire farming

I made this Essence of Fire farming guide to help out players who want to farm the essences instead of buying them from the Auction House.

Essence of Fire

Essence of Fire

Molten Core

Molten Core is the best place to farm Essence of Fire, one full clear gives you around 15-20. Both the trash mobs and the bosses can drop essences, so kill everything inside the instance.

How to get to Molten Core?

Molten Core is located inside Blackrock Mountain which is a zone in Eastern Kingdoms between the Burning Steppes and the Searing Gorge, linking the two regions. You can enter from both zones, you'll have a partially open doorway, enter and follow the tunnel, when you come out you'll be in a large central chamber with lava in the bottom and a central rock chained to the sides.

Fly down to the location marked with X on the map. To enter the instance, you have to talk to Lothos Riftwaker, he will teleport you to Molten Core.

47. Around The World in 80 BBQs - Thailand

Posted in Recipes by Lee Wills on 22/09/2017

Grilled Thai Beef Salad

This week we're taking our #aroundtheworldin80bbqs adventure back to Thailand for a delicious and fresh summery dish that's so simple and tasty that it deserves to be enjoyed all year round!

It's officially autumn and while that means that summer is officially over for another year it absolutely doesn't mean your Weber BBQ should be retired to the shed. We're firm believers at WOWBBQ that your trusty Weber Grill should be your outdoor cooking companion all year round.

We've used two thick sirloin steaks for this recipe but any lean cut works well for this recipe as you'll be slicing it nice and finely, a small bit of steak goes a long way. For the ultimate version of this recipe consider using fillet.

  • 2 Sirloin Steaks
  • 2 tbsp of Palm Sugar
  • 2 tbsp of Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp of Vegetable Oil
  • 10 tbsp of Thai Fish Sauce
  • 2 fresh limes
  • 2 large Cucumbers
  • 8 Spring Onions
  • 6 Shallots
  • 3 Birdseye Chillies
  • Large handful of Mint
  • Large Handful of Coriander
  • 75 of Peanuts
  • Sea Salt

You can create this dish using any Weber BBQ; charcoal or gas.

We've used the following:

This recipe serves 4 people as a main course, a stunning lunch.

  • Using a large mixing bowl combine the Thai Fish Sauce, Rice Wine Vinegar, Palm Sugar and the juice of two limes, stir well until the sugar has dissolved and leave for 20-30 minutes for the flavour to develop. This is your salad dressing.
  • Coat your steaks with a splash or two of vegetable oil and season with plenty of salt, leave for 15-20 minutes before grilling.
  • Using a potato peeler; peel alternating strips of cucumber skin to create stripes, halve, core and slice into half moon like disks, you want these to be roughly as thick as a point coin. Be sure to watch our YouTube video to see how this done.

  • Set up your Weber BBQ for direct grilling at a very high heat.
  • Insert the cast iron GBS Sear Grate accessory into the central section of the BBQ cooking grates and bring this up to cooking temperature. For this recipe wait 5-10 minutes so that it's perfect for searing, It should be scorching hot!
  • Add the beef steaks and cook to your liking, we recommend medium for this recipe. Use a digital thermometer probe to find out the core temperature of the meat - 45 - 50 Celsius for rare, 55 to 60 for medium-rare, 60 to 65 for medium.
  • Remove and rest the steaks for 5-10 minutes.

  • While the steaks rest; prepare your remaining salad ingredients.
  • To your cucumber add finely sliced spring onions, shallots and chilies.
  • Roughly chop the coriander and mint and add these too.
  • Toast and roughly chop your peanuts and mix these into the salad.
  • Pour on the marinade you made earlier and stir/toss for even coating.
  • Slice the rested stakes finely and against the grain for optimal tenderness.
  • Spoon a generous mound of salad onto your place and serve the sliced beef on top, enjoy with your favourite Asian beer (something crisp to compliment the sweet sharp flavors of the salad dressing)

• Indonesia's Astra Asks Creditors To Approve Another Debt Deal

    Extension Request Spotlights Limits Of Lenders in Debt Restructurings

    The attempts by Indonesia's largest car and motorcycle maker to restructure nearly $1 billion in debt highlight key differences between how U.S., Japanese and European investors deal with debt -- and ultimately, how little recourse any of them have in Indonesian debt reorganizations.

    On Thursday, PT Astra International will once again ask its creditors to agree to an extended rescheduling of about $820 million of debt, possibly until 2009. If its last request, made at the end of November, is anything to go by, a group of Japanese...

• India's Industrial Output Falls, Inflation Eases

    NEW DELHI -- India's industrial output fell for the second month running in January and inflation eased to a near seven-year low -- evidence that the global downturn is reining in the country's once galloping economy.

    Output at India's factories and mines shrunk 0.5% from a year earlier in January after falling 0.6% in December, data from the Central Statistical Organisation showed Thursday.

• Fed’s Kashkari Still Believes Rate Increases Are a Bad Idea

    President of Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis says strong, sustained job gains indicate full employment not yet reached

    President Trump has put the Federal Reserve at the middle of the latest drop in the markets, saying the "Fed has gone crazy." WSJ global economics editor Jon Hilsenrath explores three reasons why the Fed is raising interest rates. Photo: Getty Images.

    Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari again made the case to hold off on interest-rate increases, warning that the U.S. central bank could inadvertently push the economy into recession if it continues boosting borrowing costs.

    “I’m still there. Nothing has changed,” Mr. Kashkari said of his opposition to rate increases. “Let’s just step back and see what the economy presents us” before acting again, he said Friday in a Wall Street Journal interview.

Wyden, Merkley Statement on Resignation of Roseburg VA Director Doug Paxton

Portland – U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley today issued the following statement about the resignation of Roseburg VA Director Doug Paxton:

“It’s been clear from the growing number of troubling reports from veterans served in Roseburg’s VA system that change is needed to provide the top-notch care those veterans deserve,” Wyden and Merkley said.

“We hope this change marks a needed step forward to achieve the goal of transforming the VA’s Roseburg system into a place worthy of the veterans who rely on it for quality health care,” the senators said. “Rest assured, we will continue to work with Congressman DeFazio to ensure this management change and other steps to move the VA to address longstanding allegations of substandard care, misconduct, mismanagement, retaliation toward whistle-blowers and a toxic work environment.”

Documents show Facebook used user data as competitive weapon

Photo: Pixabay / MGN
By  |

LONDON (AP) — Internal Facebook documents released by a U.K. parliamentary committee offer the clearest evidence yet that the social network has used its enormous trove of user data as a competitive weapon, often in ways designed to keep its users in the dark.

The parliament's media committee accused Facebook on Wednesday of cutting special deals with some app developers to give them more access to data, while icing out others that it viewed as potential rivals. In other documents, company executives discussed ways to obfuscate how the company was collecting and exploiting user data.

The committee released more than 200 pages of documents on the tech giant's internal discussions about the value of users' personal information. While they mostly cover the period between 2012 and 2015 —the first three years after Facebook went public — they offer a rare glimpse into the company's inner workings and the extent to which it used people's data to make money while publicly vowing to protect their privacy.

Facebook said the documents are misleading and that the information they contain is "only part of the story."

"Like any business, we had many internal conversations about the various ways we could build a sustainable business model for our platform," the company said in a statement. "But the facts are clear: We've never sold people's data."

In a Facebook post , Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sought to put the documents in context. "Of course, we don't let everyone develop on our platform," he wrote. "We blocked a lot of sketchy apps. We also didn't allow developers to use our platform to replicate our functionality or grow their services virally in a way that creates little value for people on Facebook."

The U.K. committee seized the documents from app developer Six4Three, maker of a now-defunct bikini-picture search app. Six4Three acquired the files as part of a U.S. lawsuit that accuses Facebook of deceptive, anti-competitive business practices. The documents remain under court seal in the U.S.

In a summary of key issues pertaining to the documents, the committee said Facebook "whitelisted," or made exceptions for, companies such as Airbnb and Netflix, giving them continued access to users' "friends" even after the tech giant announced changes in 2015 to end the practice.

"Facebook have clearly entered into whitelisting agreements with certain companies, which meant that after the platform changes in 2014/15 they maintained full access to friends data," the committee said in a statement. "It is not clear that there was any user consent for this, nor how Facebook decided which companies should be whitelisted or not."

The documents "raise important questions about how Facebook treats users' data, their policies for working with app developers, and how they exercise their dominant position in the social media market," said committee chair Damian Collins. "We don't feel we have had straight answers from Facebook on these important issues, which is why we are releasing the documents."

The cache includes emails from Zuckerberg and other key members of his staff. The emails show Zuckerberg and other executives scheming to leverage user data to favor companies not considered to be threats and to identify potential acquisitions.

Collins said the emails raise important issues, particularly around the use of the data of Facebook users. "The idea of linking access to friends' data to the financial value of the developers' relationship with Facebook is a recurring feature of the documents," Collins said.

The committee's summary said the company used surveys of what mobile app customers were using to decide which companies to acquire. It also said Facebook knew that an update to its Android mobile app phone system — which enabled the Facebook app to collect user call logs — would be controversial.

"To mitigate any bad PR, Facebook planned to make it as hard as possible for users to know that this was one of the underlying features of the upgrade of their app," the summary said.

Facebook executives clearly understand the material is valuable. An unsigned memo setting policy for a system upgrade known as "Platform 3.0" rejected anyone who could be construed as a competitor.

"There are a small number of developers whom no amount of sharing to FB or monetary value can justify giving them access to Platform," the memo said. "These developers do not want to participate in the ecosystem we have created, but rather build their own ecosystem at the expense of our users, other developers and, of course, us. That is something that we will not allow."

The documents also suggest Facebook would jealously safeguard its interests. In a January 2013 email exchange, Zuckerberg signed off on cutting access to Twitter's Vine video-producing app, which had allowed users to find friends via Facebook.

"Unless anyone raises objections," Facebook Vice President Justin Osofsky wrote, the company would cut Vine's access to users' friend networks. "We're prepared reactive PR."

"Yup, go for it," Zuckerberg replied.

The documents also suggest robust internal discussions about linking data to revenue.

"There's a big question on where we get the revenue from," Zuckerberg said in one email. "Do we make it easy for (developers) to use our payments/ad network but not require them? Do we require them? Do we just charge a (revenue) share directly and let (developers) who use them get a credit against what they owe us? It's not at all clear to me here that we have a model that will actually make us the revenue we want at scale."

If you don’t have money, don’t give birth to children – Emir Sanusi tell Nigerians

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has called on Nigerians to stop birthing more children than they can cater for. He spoke on Thursday when Mohammed malick Fall, the United Nations Children’s Education Fund (UNICEF) representative in Nigeria paid him a courtesy visit in Kano.
According to him about 3 million children in Kano are out of school due to ignorance of their parents on their responsibility to their children’s educational up-bringing.

“For you to have kids you must make sure that the responsibility of their education, health, and general up-bringing both morally and otherwise are part and parcel of what a parent should do.”
“It is not only giving birth to the child that matters, but how to take your responsibility as a parent to bring-up that child to grow and be a benefit to the society in general.
“if people are aware of this they will not even have many kids that they know they cannot take care of,” Sanusi said.
