☆ My first wife and I explored non-monogamy. Back in 2006 people thought it was bizarre.

"In the Form of a Question" explores Schneider's journey of leaning into curiosity as she explores numerous areas of life. download the app Email address Sign up By clicking “Sign Up”, you accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . AdvertisementI met Kelly in 2004, and it was quickly apparent to both of us that we were going to get married. In the Bay Area in 2023, that's not hugely shocking, but in Cincinnati in 2006, people thought it was bizarre. We didn't tell many people about it, but we didn't hide it, either, and even our friends were skeptical.

☆ Work Culture at the Gates Foundation: Bill Gates Was Domineering, Inspired Fear
  + stars: | 2024-08-09 | by ( Anupreeta Das | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Every year, Bill Gates — and, until she left, Melinda French Gates — would hold multiple meetings with executives of the Gates Foundation to approve plans and budgets, and review strategies. For many, the meeting might be the only direct opportunity to interact with, and impress, Gates and French Gates. AdvertisementGates and French Gates followed the presentations closely, usually saving questions for the end. The former couple sought to maintain a professional relationship, giving themselves at least two years to see if they could work together, with the understanding that French Gates would leave if they couldn't. One former senior employee compared the style of discussion to the Socratic method, often used in law schools by professors who push students to reasoning through dialogue.

☆ Romance Novels That Bring the Heat
  + stars: | 2024-05-31 | by ( Olivia Waite | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Time-travel romances are often a fantasy of knowledge: Someone ventures back into history and dazzles the rubes by understanding germ theory, or else a historical figure is brought forward and gapes at the marvels of present-day technology. They can also be fantasies of power, as Kaliane Bradley’s THE MINISTRY OF TIME (Avid Reader Press, 339 pp., $28.99) makes clear. When the Arctic explorer Cmdr. Graham Gore is hauled into the 21st century along with a handful of other expats, their government handlers — bridges, as they’re called — are granted an extraordinary amount of control. Bridges are not only responsible for explaining modernity, they also share quarters with their expats, monitoring their bodily functions, mental health, internet searches, geographic movements and political adjustments.
