Abraham Maslow was an American-psychologist perhaps best known for creating The Hierarchy of Needs (1943). Maslow’s theory of psychological health was based on the belief that individuals need to fulfill innate human needs in succession in order to achieve self-actualization. At its base, Maslow’s pyramid situates physiological needs like air, food, water, shelter, clothing and sleep. The absolute basics needed for human existence. Next is, safety and security in the forms of health, employment, family, property, security and social ability.

Sex and the City used Fendi Baguettes, Manolo Blahniks, and Birkin bags to make a bigger point about being an upwardly mobile unmarried thirtysomething in a world where that was not the norm. Recall how in season six, Carrie loses her Manolos when she’s asked to take them off at a “baby welcoming party,” but gets the hostess to buy her a new pair after she reminds her of all the life milestone gifts she’s bought her over the years.

Opening Volley The much-anticipated Shogun remake is here. I’ve been excited for months. I’m not much of a fan of remakes as I’m of the opinion that if it was done well enough to endure the decades the first time, leave it be. Fortunately, Shogun 2024 is a breath of fresh air. What follows is a spoiler-free “recap” of episodes 1 to 3 that hopes to spark interest in those who haven’t seen it yet.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was born August 12, 1604 in the Nishi-no-maru compound of Edo Castle as the second son of Tokugawa Hidetada. Hidetada had an elder son, Nagamaru, born in 1601, but the child died young, and so the second son, the future Iemitsu was given the childhood name of Takechiyo, the same as his grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu. As such he became the favored grandson of Ieyasu. Iemitsu’s mother was Lady Oeyo, the third daughter of Azai Nagamasa and the adopted daughter of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, his childhood nanny, Fuku was the daughter of Saito Rizo, a vassal of Akechi Mitsuhide.

SCA reader Nate Clapp writes: So. The two boats I am considering as my second build are very different from each other, yet they are the two that are highest contenders. One is a Caledonia Yawl. The other is a SCAMP.   Currently I have a CLC Lighthouse Tender peapod, single lug.  It’s nice, but it fits two people uncomfortably, and even sailing solo, standard position is sitting on the floorboards in that design, and as I get older, I look longingly at boats that allow bench type seating.

Share Parenting Translator In 1997, a Danish mother was arrested in New York City when she let her 14-month-old daughter sleep in a stroller outside of a restaurant on a chilly night while she and the child’s father enjoyed margaritas inside. She was arrested when other patrons of the restaurant called Child Protective Services and reported that the child had been left unattended.

So, as you may have heard, I’m teaching a new workshop! So You Want to Write a Book starts in May, goes all year, and you can sign up either for the full year or by quarters (you want to take it!

Good morning! I hope everyone had an outstanding long weekend. The Jets have done a really fine job building out the roster this off-season, but you feel as though there are plenty more moves to be made. The vast majority will be roster depth pieces, and I’m sure we’ll see some familiar faces back too (Ashtyn Davis is one I think most would like to see return, who thought we’d be saying that 12 months ago).
