You are my First One

If you spend enough time reading advice columns, you notice a pattern. In the stream of sorrows and quandaries and relationship angst, one word bubbles up again and again.
 First. My first love. My first time. My first ever. And unlike all the relationships that came after, with this one, the past can’t seem to stay in the past.

Because long after it ends, our first love maintains some power over us. A haunting, bittersweet hold on our psyches, pulling us back to what was and what can never be again. Unless . . . ? But why? Why should this one lodge in our brains any differently than the others, even when the others were longer, better, more right? They just weren’t quite as intense as the first. The scientific research on this topic is thin, but the collective wisdom among psychologists says it’s a lot like skydiving.

 Meaning, you’ll remember the first time you jumped out of an airplane much more clearly than the 10th time you took the leap.
“Your first experience of something is going to be well remembered, more than later experiences,” explains Art Aron, a psychology professor at State University of New York at Stony Brook who specializes in close relationships.
“Presumably there’d be more arousal and excitement, especially if it’s somewhat scary. And falling in love is somewhat scary — you’re afraid you’ll be rejected, you’re afraid you won’t live up to their expectations, afraid they won’t live up to yours.

 Anxiety is a big part of falling in love, especially the first time.” So the relationship embeds itself in us in a way that all those who follow never can. Not that the subsequent loves aren’t as good. For most people, hopefully, the ones that come later, that last, are ultimately more nourishing, steadier and more solid. But this doesn’t stop anyone from clicking on their first love’s new profile picture when it pops up on Facebook. You know, just to see.

Me in Summer

Ah, the first day of summer. Time to bring on the golf, the picnics in the park, the nature hikes. 
But not for everyone. An oppressive heat wave that began over the weekend in the American Southwest has made going outside a serious health matter.

 The heat on Sunday broke records in several cities, the National Weather Service said, with the temperature in Phoenix rising to a ghastly 118 degrees, the city’s fifth hottest day ever. Farther west, Yuma hit 120, while Palm Springs, Calif., touched 119.

The danger was most conspicuous on Arizona’s trails. The severe heat was blamed for the deaths of four hikers over the weekend, Phoenix fire officials said.
Weather and emergency officials pleaded on Monday for the warnings issued in Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California to be taken seriously.

Booklist gave a positive review for Hard Luck, commenting that "Kinney strikes his comic target in the bull’s-eye, exaggerating the trials of adolescence just enough to make them real while deftly exposing the insecurities behind Greg’s bravado with his super, simple drawings".[9] Publishers Weekly wrote that the book's formula was similar to Kinney's prior books and that fans of the series would likely enjoy this one as well

Love is everything

"Sacrificing your happiness for the happiness of the one you love is by far the truest type of love.
" Unknown "A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it." Oscar Wilde The need for sacrifices and compromises is often mentioned in discussions of romantic relationships. 

Are the two the same and if not, which of the two is most needed in romantic relationships? According to Romantic Ideology, love is frequently described as involving sacrifices and resisting compromises.
In reality, the situation is typically the opposite-relationships require fewer sacrifices and more compromises. To sacrifice is to give up something precious in order to gain or maintain something, such as a valuable relationship or some other worthy cause.

Thus, we say that some women sacrifice their careers for their family. The term "sacrifice" is often used in religious contexts referring to the act of offering something precious to a deity, such as the sacrificial murder of a victim. As Romantic Ideology has certain aspects in common with religious beliefs, the term "sacrifice" is frequently used in romantic contexts as well. Intense love has no qualms about making considerable sacrifices.
 To compromise is to give up the pursuit of a better prospect in order not to risk an existing situation, even if it is perceived to be somewhat worse than the prospect that is relinquished.
Although the prospect might be better and even considered feasible, the person decides not to pursue it.

Police officer bribe fail

Police corruption is a form of police misconduct in which law enforcement officers break their social contract and abuse their power for personal or departmental gain. 
This type of corruption can involve only one officer, or it can involve a group of officers in a coordinated effort. Internal police corruption is a challenge to public trust, cohesion of departmental policies, human rights and legal violations involving serious consequences.
 Police corruption can take many forms. Soliciting or accepting bribes in exchange for not reporting organized drug or prostitution rings or other illegal activities and violations of law, county and city ordinances and state and federal laws.
 Flouting the police code of conduct in order to secure convictions of civilians and suspects—for example, through the use of falsified evidence. There are also situations where law enforcement officers may deliberately and systematically participate in organized crime themselves.
