I sometimes hear from spouses who want to offer some sort of gift to indicate how sorry they are for cheating or for having an affair. And yet, everything that they consider seems wrong. They want to get the perfect object that shows their sincerity in moving forward. But they aren’t sure what is appropriate.

I heard from a husband who said: “I cheated on my wife and she found out. Honestly, I was considering leaving my wife and being with the other woman. But once my wife found out and I saw the pain that my actions caused her, I changed my mind. Seeing her so vulnerable made me remember the woman I first fell in love with and I decided that I owed it to both of us to try to save our marriage. Much to my shock, she agreed to give me that chance. The fact that she is willing to take another chance on me humbles me. I want to get her something to show her how grateful I am. I asked one of her best friends what she might like and the friend told me that I am treading on thin ground because my wife is going to read too much into anything that I might chose. Is she right? I don’t know what to do at this point.”

What Your Spouse Really Wants: While I think it’s touching when a spouse wants to show their love for the other, I agreed with the friend that the wrong choice could make the situation worse. I need to be honest right now. As a spouse who has been cheated on, I can tell you that what your spouse wants isn’t jewelry or one more trinket. What your spouse really wants is to have their marriage back. They want to feel like they can trust you again. They want reassurance that you still desire them and that you won’t cheat again. They want to feel your genuine affection. They want for you to do whatever you need to do in order to help them heal or to recover from this. Frankly, these things would be more meaningful than any trinket could even be.

Make Sure That Any Gift Shows Your Spouse How Much You Understand And Appreciate Them: I do understand and respect that you want to make a gesture to show your spouse how important they are to you and how committed you are moving forward. In that case, you need to give this serious consideration. You don’t want to send the wrong idea. You don’t want to just give them a “guilt gift” that you didn’t think very deeply about. Many men will think that they will be covered if they just buy their wife expensive jewelry. I suppose this works for some women, but many wives will assume that you think that you can just buy your way out of this and that is not the message that you want to send.

It’s my experience and opinion that you are going to be better off if you can find something that shows your spouse that you know her intimately and want to connect with her in that way again. Perhaps you could find something that is a symbol of your early relationship. Maybe you can find something that reminds your spouse of your honeymoon or a trip or a hobby that you two of share that is meaningful to you. Frankly, this is going to be very individual for every woman. The gift should show her that you know what is important and meaningful to her because you listen to her and because you understand her.

I’ll share with you one of the most meaningful gifts my husband has ever given me. Shortly after his infidelity, my mother became very ill. I had to spend a great deal of time in hospitals and this was emotionally draining, although there is no where that I would rather have been because I wanted to support my mom. My husband called my step father and asked him to relieve me for just a day or two. When I arrived back home, my husband had put up a hammock in our back yard and had purchased a book that had been meaningful to us early in our marriage. He meant for me to take some time to enjoy the book in the hammock. This gift wasn’t at all expensive. But it showed that my husband really understood what would be restorative to me. And he cleared his calendar so that we could share some time together in that place. This meant more to me than any piece of jewelry ever could.

Obviously, what is meaningful to your wife is going to be different than is what meaningful to me. But if you listen to your heart and discover what might mean something to your spouse, then that is a gesture that would probably be greatly appreciated.

William Shakespeare, King Lear

The use of language in defining characterization in the play; King Lear

In King Lear by William Shakespeare, the characterization of the traits can be observed by the use of its language. Such use of language is like the application of imagery, metaphor, simile, and other kind of figurative language in the text that could portray the characters’ trait. The other figurative language is consist of paradox, personification and hyperbole.

The use of imagery in King Lear could be found as animal characteristic that is applied in the character’s dialogue to refer to other person or to speak for oneself. When Lear said “Come not between the Dragon and his wrath” (I, i, 121), he could be read as an arrogant man with full of confidence. The use of dragon as the imagery shows great power and viciousness as dragon is known as a most powerful monster in myth. Thus, it is imagined Lear as a man who is capable of causing immense disaster.

Other than that, there is also animal imagery spoken by Fool, who throw a sarcastic remark to Lear “Truth’s a dog must to kennel; he must be whipped out when the Lady’s Brach may stand by th’fire and stink” (I, iv, 110 – 112), he is actually referring the Lady’s Brach to Lear’s two elder daughters. Brach is a hound bitch which is associated with flattery, while the other dog is whipped and should belongs to it’s kennel, the brach gets to sit by the fire. They had indeed flatter Lear to the extent of foolishness. Fool is indicating that Goneril and Regan flatter to gain their part of land, while Cordelia speaks of truth but is disclaim as a daughter.

In Act 1, Lear has cursed Goneril, “…she may feel How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is To have a thankless child!…” (I, iv, 287 – 288). Lear has cursed Goneril for her to be childless and if it is not, she would be present with a child that gives burden to her all life. By this line, Lear has also meant to say that Goneril is the thankless child and the cause she made to her father is much more painful than a serpent’s bite. A serpent’s bite may kill at once, but what more can be worse than death, except the great pain and suffering one must endure which made one longed for death. This is how Goneril is being portrayed, the cause of suffering worse than death itself.

From this line and the line when Lear disowns Cordelia “…Here I disclaim all my paternal care, Propinquity and property of blood, And as a stranger to my heart and me…” (I, i, 111 – 114) show that Lear is a rash person, a man with a lot of curses in hand. This could also indicate that Lear is undergoing his time of old age, although by the end of the play he could still be able to carry Cordelia’s body which is an achievement for an old man.

“…like a vulture…” (II, iv, 133), is what Lear told Regan of her sister Goneril is like the ferocious bird that feeds on flesh. Lear is indicating of Goneril’s cruelty on him which he explained as though Goneril feeds on Lear’s heart. This is just really indicating that Goneril has made an action of banishing Lear out of her castle and causes the man to feel hurt by his daughter’s mean deed. This line could also be the use of hyperbole in the text. That is to make an overstatement on Goneril’s feeding on Lear’s heart.

There is also another bird imagery that explains much the same as the vulture. Lear identifies his daughters as ‘Pelican daughters’ (III, iv, 76). Pelican younglings would peck their parents during feeding time and it is thought that the younglings attack its parent in order to feed on its parent’s flesh and blood. In a way, this explains Goneril and Regan action in banishing away their own father after gaining what they wanted from him. They peck him hard that could eventually lead to his senility and in powerless degree.

There is also another reference of the two elder daughters’ characteristic which is made by Kent, “…To his dog-hearted daughters, these things sting His mind venomously…”, (IV, iii, 45 – 46). Dog-hearted is defined as pitiless and the action of stinging is like a bee that stings venomous poison which could be define wholly as pitiless daughters that wish to cause worst damage to their own father.

Other than animal imagery, there is also other imagery involved in defining the characterization of the characters. For an instance, Cordelia is said to be ‘The jewels of our father’ (I, i, 267) indicating that she has been the favourite out of the three to Lear. Though we know that Cordelia does not much with words, we could tell that she gains Lear’s favouritism by her own actions which shown her true sincerity.

Gloucester has used the nature imagery and as well as animal imagery which signify Regan and Cornwall’s cruelty. “…Rash boarish fangs. The sea, with such storm…he holp the heavens to rain. If wolves had at thy gate howled that dearn time…” (III, vii, 55 – 64) reveals Regan and Cornwall’s brutality towards Gloucester. Their violence is portrayed like boar and wolves. Their actions in plucking Gloucester’s eyes out are wild like a stormy sea. However, Gloucester shows his belief to the astronomical and divine power by believing that the treatment he faced could even make the heaven cry.

In King Lear, there is also the use of paradox in the text to show characterization. This could be found when France made a statement on Cordelia “Fairest Cordelia, that art most rich, being poor; Most choice, forsaken; and most loved, despised!” (I, i, 249 – 250). France’s choice of words shows the opposite of each point on Cordelia. She is most rich with love but is poor in wealth, she has the most choice to choose her groom, but now she is abandoned and, she was most loved by Lear, but now is despised by her own father.

The use of metaphor in King Lear could be found when Cordelia meet her father who has gone senile, “Crowned with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds, With hardocks, hemlocks, nettles, cuckoo-flowers…” (IV, iv, 3 – 5), explains Lear’s behaviour at the moment of time. He was crowned with bitter and poisonous flowers as if reflecting the causes of his insanity. The poisonous ‘stings’ and the bitter experiences he faced caused by his other two daughters had actually drove him to madness. He might have chosen these flowers and weeds particularly because he found them related to his wretched feelings.

With the figurative language used in this play, it shows the traits of each character well. Other than making it straight forward as how Goneril addresses Fool as all-licensed Fool, Shakespeare has made it more visual and fully lived the characteristics. One may see the traits as differently from others, but the end of the play, one still would agree that Lear is the tragic hero, Cordelia as the loving daughter, Goneril and Regan as the evil sisters.

Trade shows, exhibitions, trade fairs and conferences, all offer an opportunity to promote your brand, products or services through permission marketing which is quite different from the usual interruptive alternatives. These live promotional events provide options including show sponsorship, exhibiting or partnership packages. If you have to decide whether your company should participate in a live marketing event, read through these excellent reasons.

1. More exposure for your investments

Exhibitions and trade shows are an extremely cost-effective way for your business to contact qualified visitors. Although participating is such events does require substantial investment, if you were to spend the same amount on other marketing activities your ROI would be much less. According to the results of a recent research study, the average cost incurred for a traditional sales call is £195, while the average cost per visitor at an exhibition is £120,

2. Less effort results in better results

Sales leads that you collect at a live business event require significantly lesser effort to convert into a sale. According to a research conducted by Exhibit Surveys, only 0.8 calls are required to close a qualified lead gained at an exhibition, compared to an average of 3.7 calls needed to close a usual business sale. Additionally, 54% of the orders gained after a trade show lead do not need personal follow-up visits based on a McGraw-Hill Research Foundation study.

3. New prospects

Exhibit Surveys claim that only 12% of the traffic at a typical exhibitor’s stand had been visited by a salesperson from that organisation during the 12 months preceding the event. The other 88% were completely new prospects. Moreover, business-to-business events attract high-quality visitors out of which 82% have appropriate buying influence for products and services promoted by the trade show participant companies. 49% of these influential managers have plans to buy these products and services.

4. Competitive advantage

Exhibitions and trade shows provide exhibition booths the opportunity to gain prominence in the crowd. You can gain competitive advantage by exhibiting with well-trained staff members at trade show displays. Aggressive pre-show promotions, attractive stand designs, effective at-show strategies and meticulous follow-ups after the event will ensure that your prospects look forward to conducting business with you. Company representatives attending such events use it as an opportunity to compare options. Use these opportunities cleverly by pointing out how your product is superior in pricing, performance or service.

5. Increased access to potential clients

Exhibiting with exhibition stands can help you reach more potential clients in the typical three-day period than the number your sales team can in three months. The fastest way to establish business relationships is to meet prospects and engage in the traditional face-to-face interaction.

Lotto is a complete system with which you can achieve extraordinary results through mastering the last period of its history. This developmental period includes all the details until the last moment before the next draw. For this article, allow us to extract from these details, the main ten signs that show you where to find the winning numbers for the next live draw.

1} The fundamental principle of lotto function is applied to repetition of the numbers. Based on this principle, lotto can rotate its numbers to form new combinations and in this manner, it progresses in time and space. That is corresponding to what we do when we walk on the street.To go a long way in time and space, we will repeat the same movements of our feet. Whenever you will meet two or more consecutive draws in which the numbers were not repeated, it is a permanent sign that from these draws must be drawn at least one number next time.

2} After the last six previous draws, you can expect the formation of the second column of frequency. This means that from these six draws will be drawn between one to four numbers next time.

3} After the last ten previous draws, your system should have at least three columns of frequency, and repeated five numbers. The sixth number will be drawn from those numbers that have not been drawn yet.

4} Between the last ten previous draws and the last 20 previous draws, you should have six to eight columns of frequency. Now, please examine them with a special care. One of them contains an important sign. It is when in a column, any number has not been drawn in the latest two draws, Next time, it will happen with a precision of 99 %

5} Sometimes it happens that not a number from a column, is drawn over the past three or four draws. In this case, one or two numbers will be drawn from that column next time, This sign can show it, with an accuracy of 100 %.

6} Between the last ten draws and the last 20 draws, we start to observe a lot of active numbers that are moving rapidly toward the front. They jump from one column of frequency to the next, more advanced. Among them are about four winning numbers for the next draw.

7}This phenomenon leads to a basic fact in any lotto system. It leads us to note that the winning numbers are in constant motion,by contrast with the rest of numbers. To emphasize the importance of this sign, I suggest you to follow the trajectory of every number that is beginning to become active.

8} But what will happen when the recent draw is made up of three new numbers and three that have been already drawn in the draw before? It is a sign that shows that the conditions are unlikely for any number to be drawn in the next draw. Then you can exclude these two draws for the moment.

9} When the most advanced column has a complete line of numbers. it is a sign that next time will be drawn a number from this column.

10} When from any column of frequency, three numbers were drawn in the last draw, what will happen in the next live draw will be the following fact, two numbers will be drawn from the same column. Lotto works very ordered.

Las Vegas in the early 50’s was still in the middle of a massive shift, culturally and economically. The spot that would give Vegas its reputation for “cool” was still in its dream phase. Legendary producer Jack Entratter was still hard at work at the Copacabana Club in New York, and The Sands hadn’t even been a forethought. That is up until 1952, after a few of the elaborate business deals Las Vegas became famous for, The Sands had clever-handedly been realized. All myth’s and rumors aside, after its opening night The Sands ended up as one of the hottest spots in town, as Producer Jack Entratter worked to make the Copa room the core of nightlife in the infamous city. A few months after its opening, Frank Sinatra had agreed to come and help his good friend Jack, as Sinatra’s career was in the midst of a downward spiral. With Sinatra’s new movie premiering just months before his landing the gig, and his spot as headliner for the hottest club in Vegas, Frank was soon back on top and loving every minute of it.

The next year, Entratter played to his knack for picking out beautiful girls, setting a standard and code on how to choose Copa Girls. Always polite, Jack asked for little besides “Look Pretty!” Entratter felt all his guests wanted were beautiful girls in colorful outfits, interacting with guests in a calm atmosphere, and it ended up becoming a formula for major success. Letting his entertainers deal for casino crowds ended up a huge attraction as well, who wouldn’t want your poker game dealt by Sinatra or roulette via Dean martin? Surely Entratter didn’t know he was creating a style and standard the city would live and celebrate, but he also didn’t know he had helped put together the foundation of one of the greatest draws Las Vegas would ever know, The Rat Pack. Nabbing Sinatra and taking him to the top boosted Entratters’ ego, and now Jack sought more talent to reinforce the already entrancing Sands and Copa Room. Staying on top wasn’t easy, enlisting huge names such as Dean Martin and Sammie Davis Jr. were measures to ensure the Copa Rooms’ reputation for being showbiz royalty. In 1960 the sands became the headquarters for filming the movie “Oceans Eleven”, starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior, Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford. During filming, the hotel organized an event for the stars called “Summit at the Sands” where the men for the first time all performed together on stage… the rest is history.

Audiences went wild for the Rat Pack, selling out every show, sometimes playing two times a night. Each member of the Pack would always pop in to the club or casino for a performance or a drink though nobody really knew when or with who else, making it even more of a draw to head to the sands on any random night as you’d never know who to expect! While the Rat Pack ran on into the history books, Vegas was stepping into its shoes for the first time, creating the timeless persona of Class the town became famous for. As time faded, the spectacle was replaced for others and so on, and the Golden Days of the lounge were soon over. But none of those men were ever forgotten, as they are remembered in tribute and dwell in the very soul of the city itself. Want to see the Copa Room Kings with your own eyes? Want to see the Rat Pack and the History of the Sands live on stage?

We were packing the last box for the trip up to Placer County when it arrived. Sub rosa, or private surveillance, video of our client. We stopped packing to review it. Ten minutes of video shot over two separate five-day periods. Our client, with a neck injury, exhibiting a full range of motion as she got in and out of her car and turned her head to change lanes. Doing other things she said she had difficulty doing. A report accompanied the DVD.

The first sensation one gets is a tremendous sinking feeling. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received: almost every piece of evidence can benefit you-you just need to figure out how. Some call this judo law. Others might call it rationalizing.

We showed the film to our client, who was a very active and social individual before the incident. She was part of a swing dance culture where she went out five nights a week to dance. As she watched herself drive home from work, go to McDonald’s and eat in her car before going home by herself, she commented on the date on the video screen. “That was my birthday.” We compared the film, the report and her schedule, and a pattern emerged.

The camera does not show the client in the house trying to recover the next day. It does not show the client’s reportage to her doctor that she was trying out something she did before the accident only to find it caused her great difficulty. And it does not show what the camera operator chooses not to film. But sometimes the absence of activity can be an asset.

So how do you help the jury learn to distrust the investigator and focus on what the camera does not show? First, personal injury attorneys ask a question one usually avoids on cross-examination. Please explain. “Please explain to us how you conduct your surveillance?” My partner, who has conducted a number of investigator cross-exams, suggests this. Cars with tinted windows. Hiding behind bushes. Following into stores. Cameras hidden in. “Have you gone through people’s trash?” Not here but yes. “And you control what gets filmed and not filmed?”

The longer the explanation the better. As the investigator explains the jurors imagine this man hiding in their neighborhood. The sleazier the explanation the better.

Next, we compare the time spent following our client to the time actually filmed. In our case the investigator spent 79 hours (or 4,740 minutes) waiting for her, watching her or following her. He shot 10 minutes of video, or 0.2% of the time. He noted that she spent a majority of her time in her house by herself where he could not film. The only time he ever saw her leave the house were the three days a week that she went to work. That was where he helped prove our case. The rest of the time our formerly active, social, dancing client stayed in the house by herself. Her friends and family had already testified that she no longer went out aside from work and errands. “You didn’t film her dancing. Snowboarding. Hiking. Running. Going out with friends. When you were following her you didn’t see her do anything but go to work, stop for an errand on her way home, and stay in her house.”

We also noted other oddities. The time stamp on the film in January showed some footage shot at 5:30 p.m. which looked like daylight. But the sun went down at 5:09 p.m. “Can you control the lighting?” Yes. “What else can you do with the editing software?” All sorts of things. “You can shoot from different angles?” Yes. “And you’re told what the subject can or cannot do?” Yes. “You can select angles to highlight activity?” Sure. “Perhaps make it look like she’s turning her head more?” Well I wouldn’t say that.

He didn’t have to. The jury had already concluded the sleazy investigator had cherry-picked the footage and may have doctored it. They believed that the material NOT on tape was the real story and that the investigator had helped prove our case. The lesson learned? Look at sub rosa video closely. Evidence that you automatically assume is bad can yield hidden gems. You may just find your opponent has inadvertently helped your case.

It is believed that maturity only comes with experience and with age. As you go about dating one man to the next, you would realize that they all want one common thing – a mature woman. If you still don’t know how to act mature, then here are 7 tips that would make him see you as a full-grown and confident woman:

Learn to love his folks and friends.

There are instances when it’s hard to love these people in his inner circle. As difficult as it may seem, you still have to try because these are the very people that love him and care for him. And no matter what you do, they would always be there for him so better learn to live with them round about you.

Respect each other’s views.

No matter how in love you are with each other, there will always be moments when you would be on opposite sides of certain issues. If this does happen, it’s important that you remember to respect whatever his stand is. Never force him to take your opinion.

Accept the fact that he’s not perfect…

…and neither are you so you’ve got to be patient and understanding with each other. Accepting him for who he is, is one giant leap towards becoming a mature individual. Don’t mold this man into someone that would suit your definition of perfect.

Accept also that life isn’t perfect.

In fact, it’s going to be a bumpy ride with this guy. There will be lots of ups and downs so prepare to go through all this with your man. It’s not all romance and touch feely moments each time.

Look through his eyes.

Women are perceived to be more instinctive so better use this to your advantage. If you’re having a hard time connecting or understanding the man, try to look at things from his standpoint. Give his thoughts and decisions some serious thought.

Never corner him.

Even a tamed lion will squirm free once he’s cornered. So don’t nag or criticize the man. No creature deserves to be treated in such manner. If you say that you’re already mature but you keep badgering him, then you’re the biggest liar there is!

Give the man his freedom.

A man will want to get away from all the romantic stuff from time to time. And you should, too! It’s not healthy to be around each other all the time. Give him some free time to spend with his friends and take this time to also go out and have fun with other people. This is the mark of a truly mature woman.

Get Your Sports Gear; Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Kansas, Washington and Minnesota; the list goes on. Every logo, color, state, team, size and shape is out there. Of course, I’m talking about sports gear.

You can find hats, shoes, jerseys, caps, accessories, tee shirts and more as near as your local mall, sports shop or even the internet. Wearing sports apparel is not a new concept but it is gaining ground. Even the smaller and lesser known teams are hoping people shop for their goods. Naturally, the big teams always have their fans and those that buy their gear, but the lesser known ones are discovering that they too can sell their products and people will shop for them.

The interest in wearing sports apparel just keeps growing and growing. Sports are big business and so is sports gear. Americans love their teams and there sure are a lot of teams out there. Shop the internet or your local mall and you will probably find gear for teams you haven’t even heard of. Sports sells and sports gear is no different. Men and women, young and old normally have at the very least one item of clothing that is sports related. MLB, NBA, NCAA, NHL, and NFL; they all have their licensed gear out in the shops ready for fans to enjoy.

Everyone loves sports these days and even if they don’t, they probably still have some sports apparel. We love the teams; we love the colors, the spirit and everything else about it. Many of the items are the same, but if you shop around you can find some unique sports gear and accessories. It’s nice to be a part of the crowd and have the same shirt or cap that everyone else does but it’s even better to be able to stand out and still show team spirit from time to time. No problem; you can even find Sox tee-shirts (and just about any other team) in pink or light blue or many other colors. What’s nice about these is that they are not worn by everyone but yet are trendy.

Women’s sports wear is gaining popularity. Thankfully there are more shops that are catering to the buying trends of women sports lovers. Accessories based on sports teams including purses and jewelry are making more of an appearance too. Not only in football and baseball but in gear from the NHL, NCAA and more are offering women more choices in sports gear.

Kids aren’t left out either. Even babies have little team cheerleader outfits or jerseys that their parents proudly put on them. Whether you are in Minnesota, Florida, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio or Colorado (or anywhere else for that matter) you can find both local and national sports gear. Online shops are offering more choices too in sports apparel. Some of it is getting down-right creative and fun and not just the same old thing.

No matter what your taste, there is sports gear out there for you.
