Friendship: The Laws of Attraction
The conventional wisdom is that we choose friends because of who they are. But it turns out that we actually love them because of the way they support who we are.
When people are asked, "What gives meaning to your life?" friendship figures at the top of the list. Yet the dynamics of friendship have remained mysterious and unquantifiable. Like romantic love, friendships were thought to "just happen." New research shows that the dance of friendship is nuanced—far more complex than commonly thought. With intriguing accuracy, sociologists and psychologists have delineated the forces that attract and bind friends to each other, beginning with the transition from acquaintanceship to friendship. They've traced the patterns of intimacy that emerge between friends and deduced the once ineffable "something" that elevates a friend to the vaunted status of "best." These interactions are minute but profound; they are the dark matter of friendship.
I have friends who are like Kathy!! Bravo my dear lovely Friends!!

These interactions are minute but profound; they are the dark matter of friendship.
Why Some (And Only Some) Friends Stick
Once a friendship is established through self-disclosure and reciprocity, the glue that binds is intimacy. According to Fehr's research, people in successful same-sex friendships seem to possess a well-developed, intuitive understanding of the give and take of intimacy. "Those who know what to say in response to another person's self-disclosure are more likely to develop satisfying friendships," she says. Hefty helpings of emotional expressiveness and unconditional support are ingredients here, followed by acceptance, loyalty, and trust. Our friends are there for us through thick and thin, but rarely cross the line: A friend with too many opinions about our wardrobe, our partner, or our taste in movies and art may not be a friend for long When someone embodies the rules—instinctually—their friendships are abundant indeed. Kathy is one of my oldest friends; we were roommates in graduate school and have been through cross-country moves, divorces, deaths, and births together. Her ability to be a friend shines during a lousy breakup. She knows when to listen and make sympathetic sounds, when to act good and outraged at your ex's bad behavior, when to give you a hug, and when to tell you to stop obsessing and enjoy a glass of wine. She knows when to offer you her couch. It's this responsiveness that accounts for her having more friends than anyone I know—certainly more than the five our mothers told us we were lucky to be able to count on one hand over the course of a lifetime.I have friends who are like Kathy!! Bravo my dear lovely Friends!!

Dealing With People
Five strategies for handling stubborn clients

When a client asks you to implement a project’s solution that isn’t up to your standards, what do you do? Here are five possible ways of handling this type of situation.
—————————————————————————————————————
Consultants don’t technically own the project they’re working on. The project belongs to the client, and they’re the ones who will have to live with whatever monster you create for years to come. Nevertheless, the project feels like your baby. You care about the quality of your work, and you can’t bring yourself to mar it with inelegance or stupidity. But you may sometimes encounter a situation when that’s exactly what your client wants you to do. They don’t think it’s bad because, to them, it’s a matter of following standard, documented practices. But you see that the standard has outlived its usefulness and that, in fact, it poses serious threats to the client’s success down the road.
You explain your thoughts and give your advice on the matter (after all, you’re a consultant, that’s what you do), but your client’s technical lead is adamantly opposed to these strange new ways. What do you do? Here are five suggestions.
Go with the flow. It is the client’s system, after all, and they’re paying you to do what they want. You’ve given them the benefit of your wisdom, and they’ve chosen to ignore it, so just do things their way. Who knows, maybe they’re right after all — there’s always more than one way to look at the pros and cons of anything. Of course, this makes you less than excited about working for them. In fact, you may subconsciously start to think of the whole project as tainted, which could lead to quality slippage in other areas as well.
Go away. Ask to be excused from the project because you have irreconcilable differences with the approach. If they won’t listen to you, then why stick around for the inevitable train wreck? On the other hand, it’s highly likely that by dropping out, you could eliminate all future opportunity for engagements with this client. It might also be seen as a scare tactic or even a suicidal cry for attention.
Go up the ladder. Take your argument to the technical lead’s boss. If you can convince her, then maybe you can bring pressure back around from the top. Of course, this won’t help your relationship with the technical lead. Even if he has to give in, he’ll look for ways to assert his control in the future. Watch for hidden daggers.
Go out to the masses. Discuss the pros and cons with as many people in the organization as might be interested. Create a buzz over your new ideas until the new ideas overwhelm the old ones. This approach can also cause resentment — nobody likes to give in to mob rule. So you’d have to figure out how to build that support without casting yourself in the role of demagogue.
Go back to the drawing board. Look for new ways to make your argument. How can you express the benefits of the new approach more clearly? Is there a valid way to compromise — getting essentially what you want, while satisfying whatever need is driving your client? Stop and think: Why is this person so attached to the current practices? What benefits from them, or what threats from your proposal, does she perceive? Maybe you should ask her just that question — not in a snarky way, but really looking for her reasons. Of course, if the answer is “because I said so” (in so many words), then you’ve reached a dead end.
This situation isn’t entirely hypothetical for me right now, so I’m keeping the details vague and the participants anonymous. I’m also genuinely looking for your help. I’m often amazed by the insights of TechRepublic members who comment here (except for the occasional troll, but that’s the price of open discussion). What do you think? What combination of the above would you use, or do you have another idea that doesn’t fit into these five strategies?

Owino Market Burns to Ashes! :<(
A large part of St Balikuddembe (formerly known as Owino) Market has been gutted in fire this morning, Daily Monitor has learnt.( This was on 25th/ Feb/2009.
According to police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba, the fire started at about 5 am though some traders at place say it started about 3.am.
Hundreds of traders are reported wailing over the loss of their properties worth millions of shillings.
There is still confusion and chaos at the market as the fire rages on and efforts by the fire fighters to stop the fire are still futile as the blaze continues to spread to other stalls in the market.
The Inspector General of Police Maj. Gen Kale Kayihura has also been active at the scene to assess the situation.
Fire broke out at about 3.am this morning at Owino Market.
A horde of people has also gathered around the market to witness the tragedy.

Fire fighters struggling to put off the fire since 5 am.
Some of the traders were unhappy with the fire brigade claiming that the fire fighters took long to arrive to the scene despite the fact that the fire station is in an eye-sight of the market.
