Ask Amy: Supervisor worries about workplace exclusion

Dear Amy: I am a project manager and work with a group of secretaries on projects that require a lot of collaboration. Everything was fine until the team recently increased by three new members. It has been rocky ever since.

I am a very positive person and count on people’s good attitude. The new members have tried to integrate and collaborate well with the other four, but the old secretaries formed a very tight group and do nothing to welcome the others.

They work only within their group, thus relegating the other three to work together on other projects.

I have talked to the initial team and asked them to please be nice, collaborate and respect these new team members. This has not worked, and ... Read More

We hate to be the ones to tell you this, but you have to stop eating raw cookie dough

What’s that famous Nabokov quote about raw chocolate chip cookie dough? Oh, yes:

Cookie dough, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Cook-ie-dough: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Coo. Kee. Do.

Truly, eating raw cookie dough straight out of the bowl is one of life’s greatest joys. And now the FDA is trying to take it away from us.  The government agency issued a warning earlier this week against eating raw cookie dough. And just in case you’re thinking, “they’re probably talking about raw eggs and I don’t put eggs in my cookie dough SPECIFICALLY so I can eat it raw, suckers!”, well, we have some bad news. The warning is about flour.

Yes, flour.

An outbreak of E.coli has been linked to contaminated flour, which means that seemingly safe pantry staple now needs to be cooked to be safe to eat. General Mills has issued a recall of 10 million pounds of flour. And just to be on the safe side, raw cookie dough — along with brownie batter and cake batter and all the other things that make life delicious and wonderful — is now off-limits. Store-bought products like ice cream containing “raw” cookie dough are actually OK because the dough in those products is heat-treated to kill potential contaminants.

Ah well, if absence makes the heart grow fonder, once this warning is lifted, we can only imagine how sweet that first gooey bite is going to taste. Until then, we’ll keep yearning. And filling the void with cookie dough ice cream.

Cool Place of the Day: The Cleveland Way, North Yorkshire ( Travel - UK )



It’s the North York Moors WalkFest this weekend, and they’ll be yomping up and down the Cleveland Way for sure, a 110-mile National Trail that connects Helmsley, in the heart of the North York Moors, with the seaside at Filey.

The moors and coast footpath has something for everyone, and highlights include crossing the highest point on the Moors (Urra Moor, almost 1,500 feet) and winding through stunning old fishing villages like Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay. 

If you want to do whole thing it's going to take you nine or 10 days, but it's an easy trail to take in bite-sized sections – Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay, for example (6 miles), or up to the majestic viewpoint of Roseberry Topping from near Great Ayton.

There are also loads of one- and two-day walks to download on the official North York Moors website. If you just have time for one decent day out, national trails officer Malcolm Hodgson reckons you should try "the rollercoaster 11 miles between Osmotherley and Clay Bank, which has incredible views across the Tees lowlands and also the other way, into the beautiful Bilsdale valley".

The traditional starting point for the whole trail is the Market Cross in the centre of Helmsley; you'll finish on the coast at Filey Brigg, seven miles south of Scarborough and, in between, will have tramped through heather, explored abbeys and castles, walked on deserted beaches and stayed overnight in moorland villages and coastal ports. Happy hiking!

Why gardening has become more political than ever - Chelsea Flower Show 2016


What could possibly be more innocuous than a garden? The primary place for “pottering about”, the garden is the ultimate middle-class space to unwind, stealthily one-up the neighbours, and worry about unimportant minutiae such as when to prune the apple tree or how to attack an unsightly yellow patch of grass.

As the Chelsea Flower Show opens today, Kashmira Gander finds that, from anti-capitalist allotments to community protests, gardening has never been a more political act

Among gardeners happily trampling this stereotype, and a handful of others to boot, is Juliet Sargeant. The first black female designer to create a garden for the Chelsea Flower Show, she is using her exhibit in the Fresh category to raise awareness of modern slavery. At its centre is an oak representing the the “Wilberforce Oak”, the tree in Kent under which in 1787 William Pitt challenged his friend William Wilberforce to first bring abolition before parliament.

By bringing an issue such as slavery – certainly not typical dinnertime conversation – to the flower show, Sargeant not only highlights an important issue but draws attention to how the show is a symbol of the establishment. It is, after all, an event held in an exclusive area of one of the most expensive cities in the world: where space is at a premium and the housing crisis shows little sign of slowing.

If gardens are considered blank canvases of land on which to express the identity and tastes of a household or a city, they become undeniably political. Most obviously, gardens are bound to environmental issues, but also and more subtly to ideas of ownership, property and inequality.

“The domestic garden is your own small green patch of earth there’s deep micro-politics in how you treat that,” says George McKay, professor of media studies at the University of East Anglia and the author of Radical Gardening: Politics, Idealism and Rebellion in the Garden.

The seemingly unimportant choice between keeping an immaculate lawn or a messy vegetable patch prompts a gardener to consider whether they should use chemicals or stay organic. The personal is political, and a gardener’s choices are comparable to opting for a vegan or a meat-eating lifestyle.

Professor Bryony Hoskins of the University of Roehampton’s department of social sciences, believes that political activities have become more individualised, and gardening is no exception. “A garden is a space where the personal and everyday merges into the public sphere, somewhere in between the privacy of your home and the street,” she says.

Perhaps gardens aren’t so personal after all. In certain neighbourhoods, an unkempt plot or a misplaced gnome can become a prickly issue, as anything damaging the pristine image of a street can affect all-important house prices.
