Nairaland GeneralDNA ; Future Of Digital Storage Medium by holyjossy01(op): 12:56am On Mar 06, 2015
Scientists have given another
eloquent demonstration of how DNA
could be used to archive digital data.
The UK team encoded a scholarly
paper, a photo, Shakespeare's
sonnets and a portion of Martin
Luther King's I Have A Dream speech
in artificially produced segments of
the "life molecule".
The information was then read back
out with 100% accuracy.
It is possible to store huge volumes of
data in DNA for thousands of years,
the researchers write in Nature
magazine .
They acknowledge that the costs
involved in synthesizing the molecule
in the lab make this type of
information storage "breathtakingly
expensive" at the moment, but argue
that newer, faster technologies will
soon make it much more affordable,
especially for long-term archiving.
"One of the great properties of DNA is
that you don't need any electricity to
store it," explained team-member Dr
Ewan Birney from the European
Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) at
Hinxton, near Cambridge.
"If you keep it cold, dry and dark -
DNA lasts for a very long time. We
know that because we routinely
sequence woolly mammoth DNA that
is kept by chance in those sorts of
conditions." Mammoth remains are
many thousands of years old.
The group cites government and
historical records as examples of
data that could benefit from the
molecular storage option.
Much of this information is not
required every day but still needs to
be kept. Once encoded in DNA, it
could be put away safely in a vault
until it was needed.
The coding used the same four
"letters", or bases, but in a language
living cells would not understand
And unlike other storage media
presently in use such as hard disk-
drives and magnetic tapes, the DNA
"library" would not demand constant
maintenance.
In addition, the universality of the life
molecule means there would
probably never be a backwards-
compatibility issue where the
technology of the day was incapable
of reading the vault's archives.
"We think there will always be DNA-
reading technology so long as there is
DNA-based life around on Earth,
assuming it is technologically
sophisticated of course," Dr Birney
told BBC News.
This is not the first time that DNA has
been used to encode the sort of
routine information we keep on our
computers.
Last year, for example, an American
group published the results of a very
similar experiment in Science
Magazine
. The Boston researchers laid down a
whole book in DNA.
The EBI study uses slightly different
techniques to achieve its goals, but
has also looked deeper into some of
the issues of scalability and
practicality.
Underpinning all these approaches is
the exploitation of the nucleobase
sequence at the heart of DNA.
The helical molecule is famously held
together by four chemical groups, or
nucleobases, which, when arranged
in a specific order, carry the genetic
instructions needed by a living
organism to build and maintain itself.
The EBI storage system uses the
same four "letters" but in a
completely different "language" to the
one understood by life.
To copy a computer file, such as a
text document, the binary digits
(zeros and ones) that would
ordinarily represent that information
on a hard drive first have to be
translated into the team's bespoke
code. A standard DNA synthesis
machine then churns out the
corresponding sequence.
The digital photo of the European
Bioinformatics Institute that was
encoded in the DNA
But it is not one long molecule.
Rather, it is multiple copies of
overlapping fragments, with each
fragment also carrying some indexing
details that identify where in the
overall sequence it should sit.
This builds redundancy into the
system, meaning that if some
fragments become corrupted, the data
will not be lost.
Again, the same standard equipment
used in molecular biology labs to
read the DNA of organisms is used to
pull out the information so that it can
be displayed on a computer screen
once more.
For its experiment, the EBI team
encoded a 26-second snippet of
Martin Luther King's classic anti-
racism address from 1963, a ".jpg"
photo of the EBI (see right); a ".pdf" of
the seminal 1953 paper by Crick and
Watson describing the structure of
DNA, ".txt" file containing all of
Shakespeare's sonnets; and a file
about the encoding system itself (a
total equivalent on a computer drive
to about 760 kilobytes).
Physically, the DNA carrying all that
information is no bigger than a speck
of dust.
Team member Nick Goldman said
the molecule was an incredibly dense
storage medium. One gram of DNA
ought to be able to hold about two
petabytes of data, he added - the
equivalent of about three million CDs.
Dr Goldman addressed the concern
some people might have that
artificial DNA code could somehow
go wild and end up in the genome of
another living organism.
"The DNA we've created can't be
incorporated accidently into a
genome; it uses a completely
different code to what the cells of
living bodies use," he explained.
"And if you did end up with any of this
DNA inside you, it would just be
degraded and disposed of. It really
has no place in a living being."

By God, I'm going to leave billions for my sons and daughter, billions so much that they will still remain in at least the top five after my demise. Amen
Nairaland GeneralRichest Women Of The World. by holyjossy01(op): 7:32am On Feb 18, 2015
It was a record-breaking year for women
on the FORBES list of the World
Billionaires. Out of 1,645 billionaires, a
record 172 are women – up from 138 last
year. There’s no denying that women are
still a tiny minority on the list,
representing a little over 10% of the
total.
At the top, Christy Walton reclaims her
spot as the richest woman with a $36.7
billion fortune. The widow of John
Walton has had that title for four out of
the last five years. She has boosted her
fortune above the rest of the Walton
family members through her ownership
of First Solar FSLR +1.68% shares. That
stock rose nearly 50% in the past year.
Back in second place after a year at the
top: Liliane Bettencourt, worth $34.5
billion. The L’Oreal heiress remains
France’s richest person. Her fortune
increased this year thanks to the
company’s stock surging. She is 91, and
it’s been years since she’s been involved
in running the company.
The third richest woman is another
Walton family member – Alice Walton
($34.3 billion). The daughter of
visionary retailer Sam Walton is
Christy’s sister-in-law. She opened her
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
in Bentonville, Arkansas in 2011. It
features works from her personal
Notably, of the 268 newcomers to the
ranks, 42 are women. However, only five
of them built their own fortunes as
opposed to inheriting them from their
parents or husbands. These five
remarkable women include Sheryl
Sandberg ($1.05 billion), who leaned
into a COO position at Facebook and 12
million or so shares in the company.
With the social networking firm’s share
price up more than 130% in the past 12
months, she is now one of the world’s
youngest self-made women billionaires.
The other newcomer self-made
billionaire women include Folorunsho
Alakija ($2.5 billion), Nigeria’s first
female billionaire, whose Famfa Oil
owns a prolific oil bloc. There’s UK’s
Denise Coates ($1.6 billion), the co-CEO
and largest shareholder of online
gambling site Bet365; Liu Xiaomeng ($1
billion), who holds a stake in the Suning
Appliance Group, which in turn owns
14% of Suning Commerce Group, China’s
largest appliance retailer; and Wang
Laichun ($1 billion) Chairman of
Shenzhen Luxshare Precision Industry
Co., Ltd.
Newcomers that came to their fortunes
through an inheritance include Sandra
Mera Ortega, daughter of the late
billionaire Rosalia Mera. Mera, along
with then husband and now third-richest
person in the world, founded clothing
giant Inditex (best known for its Zara
brand).
Finally, in a case involving a very loyal
daughter, this year’s youngest billionaire
is a woman. Perenna Kei, at only 24
years old, is the controlling owner of
Chinese real estate giant Logan
Properties. Kei is the daughter of
Logan’s chairman and CEO, Ji Haipeng.
Company documents indicate that she is
the majority shareholder, the settler of
the trust and acts “in accordance with
Mr. Ji’s directions.” The company went
public in December 2013 and its stock
rose 2.4% on the first day of trading,
making Kei a billionaire.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Top 10 Things That Women Invented by holyjossy01(op): 7:25am On Feb 13, 2015
Margaret Knight didn't invent the paper bag, but
those first paper bags weren't all that useful for
carrying things. They were more like envelopes,
so there was no way they'd become the grocery
store staple that they are today. For that, we
have to thank Knight. Knight realized that paper
bags should have a square bottom; when weight
was distributed across the base in this way, the
bags could carry more things.
In 1870, she created a wooden machine that
would cut, fold and glue the square bottoms to
paper bags. While she was working on an iron
prototype of the machine to use for her patent
application, she discovered that her design had
been stolen by a man named Charles Annan,
who had seen her wooden machine a few
months earlier. She filed a patent interference
suit against Annan, who claimed that there was
no way that a woman could have developed such
a complex machine. Knight used her notes and
sketches to prove otherwise, and she was
granted the patent for the device in 1871.
That was hardly Knight's first patent, though. At
the age of 12, Knight had developed a stop-
motion device that would automatically bring
industrial machines to a halt if something was
caught on them, which prevented many injuries;
all told, Knight was awarded more than 20
patents.

4: Dishwasher
You might think that the first dishwasher was
invented by someone who spent years washing
dishes, bemoaning the wasted time and the
dishpan hands. Actually, Josephine Cochrane,
who received the patent for the first working
dishwasher, didn't spend that much time
washing dishes. The real impetus for her
invention was frustration over her servants
breaking her heirloom china after fancy dinners.
Cochrane was a socialite who loved to entertain,
but after her husband died in 1883, she was left
with massive debt. Rather than selling off that
beloved china, she focused on building a machine
that would wash it properly. Her machine relied
upon strong water pressure aimed at a wire rack
of dishes, and she received a patent for the
device in 1886. Cochrane claimed that inventing
the machine was nowhere near as hard as
promoting it [source: Lienhard ]. At first, the
Cochrane dishwasher tanked with individual
consumers, as many households lacked the hot
water heaters necessary to run it, and those that
had the capacity balked at paying for something
that housewives did for free. Undaunted,
Cochrane sought appointments with large hotels
and restaurants, selling them on the fact that the
dishwasher could do the job they were paying
several dozen employees to do. In time, however,
more households acquired the device as greater
numbers of women entered the workplace.

At the dawn of the 20th century, Mary Anderson
went to New York City for the first time. She saw
a much different New York City than the one
tourists see today. There were no cabs honking,
nor were there thousands of cars vying for
position in afternoon traffic. Cars had not yet
captured the American imagination and were
quite rare when Anderson took that trip, but the
woman from Alabama would end up inventing
something that has become standard on every
automobile. During her trip, Anderson took a
tram through the snow-covered city.
She noticed that the driver had to stop the tram
every few minutes to wipe the snow off his front
window. At the time, all drivers had to do so;
rain and snow were thought to be things drivers
had to deal with, even though they resulted in
poor visibility. When she returned home,
Anderson developed a squeegee on a spindle that
was attached to a handle on the inside of the
vehicle. When the driver needed to clear the
glass, he simply pulled on the handle and the
squeegee wiped the precipitation from the
windshield. Anderson received the patent for her
device in 1903; just 10 years later, thousands of
Americans owned a car with her invention.

2: Nystatin
Long-distance romantic relationships are often
troubled, but Rachel Fuller Brown and Elizabeth
Lee Hazen proved that long-distance
professional relationships can yield productive
results. Both Brown and Hazen worked for the
New York State Department of Health in the
1940s, but Hazen was stationed in New York
City and Brown was in Albany. Despite the miles,
Brown and Hazen collaborated on the first
successful fungus-fighting drug.
In New York City, Hazen would test soil samples
to see if any of the organisms within would
respond to fungi. If there was activity, Hazen
would mail the jar of soil to Brown, who would
work to extract the agent in the soil that was
causing the reaction. Once Brown had found the
active ingredient, it went back in the mail to
Hazen, who'd check it against the fungi again. If
the organism killed the fungi, it would be
evaluated for toxicity. Most of the samples
proved too toxic for human use, but finally
Brown and Hazen happened upon an effective
fungus-killing drug in 1950. They named it
Nystatin, after New York state. The medication,
now sold under a variety of trade names, cures
fungal infections that affect the skin, vagina and
intestinal system. It's also been used on trees
with Dutch elm disease and on artwork affected
by mold .
Beauty and Brains
While we tend to remember Hedy Lamarr as a
beautiful actress, she was also an inventor. In
1942, Lamarr received a patent for a system of
frequency-hopping, which allowed radios to
guide torpedoes without interference.

It was just supposed to be a temporary job.
Stephanie Kwolek took a position at DuPont in
1946 so she could save enough money to go to
medical school. In 1964, she was still there,
researching how to turn polymers into extra
strong synthetic fibers. Kwolek was working with
polymers that had rod-like molecules that all
lined up in one direction.
Compared to the molecules that formed jumbled
bundles, Kwolek thought the uniform lines would
make the resulting material stronger, though
these polymers were very difficult to dissolve
into a solution that could be tested. She finally
prepared such a solution with the rod-like
molecules, but it looked unlike all the other
molecular solutions she'd ever made. Her next
step was to run it through the spinneret, a
machine that would produce the fibers. However,
the spinneret operator almost refused to let
Kwolek use the machine, so different was this
solution from all the others before; he was
convinced it would ruin the spinneret.
Kwolek persisted, and after the spinneret had
done its work, Kwolek had a fiber that was
ounce-for-ounce as strong as steel . This
material was dubbed Kevlar, and it's been used
to manufacture skis, radial tires and brake pads,
suspension bridge cables, helmets, and hiking
and camping gear. Most notably, Kevlar is used
to make bulletproof vests, so even though
Kwolek didn't make it to medical school, she still
saved plenty of lives.

So women are intelligent also.
Nairaland GeneralTop 10 Things That Women Invented by holyjossy01(op): 7:17am On Feb 13, 2015
Men are actually talented but I hate some beliefs of some guys believing women can't do nothing worthwhile, so I made some research and found this.

10: Circular Saw
In the late 18th century, a religious sect known
as the Shakers emerged. Shakers valued living
communally (albeit celibately), equality between
the sexes and hard work. Tabitha Babbitt lived in
a Shaker community in Massachusetts and
worked as a weaver, but in 1810, she came up
with a way to lighten the load of her brethren.
She observed men cutting wood with a pit saw,
which is a two-handled saw that requires two
men to pull it back and forth. Though the saw is
pulled both ways, it only cuts wood when it's
pulled forward; the return stroke is useless. To
Babbitt, that was wasted energy, so she created
a prototype of the circular saw that would go on
to be used in saw mills. She attached a circular
blade to her spinning wheel so that every
movement of the saw produced results. Because
of Shaker precepts, Babbitt didn't apply for a
patent for the circular saw she created.

Ruth Wakefield had worked as a dietitian and
food lecturer before buying an old toll house
outside of Boston with her husband.
Traditionally, toll houses were places weary
travelers paid their road tolls, grabbed a quick
bite and fed their horses. Wakefield and her
husband converted the toll house into an inn
with a restaurant. One day in 1930, Wakefield
was baking up a batch of Butter Drop Do cookies
for her guests. The recipe called for melted
chocolate, but Wakefield had run out of baker's
chocolate. She took a Nestle chocolate bar,
crumbled it into pieces and threw it into her
batter, expecting the chocolate pieces to melt
during baking. Instead, the chocolate held its
shape, and the chocolate chip cookie was born.
Nestle noticed that sales of its chocolate bars
jumped in Mrs. Wakefield's corner of
Massachusetts, so they met with her about the
cookie, which was fast gaining a reputation
among travelers. At Wakefield's suggestion, they
began scoring their chocolate (cutting lines into
the bar that allow for easier breaking) and then,
in 1939, they began selling Nestle Toll House
Real Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels. The
Wakefield cookie recipe was printed on the back
of the package; in exchange, Ruth Wakefield
received free chocolate for life.

Bette Nesmith Graham was not a very good
typist. Still, the high school dropout worked her
way through the secretarial pool to become the
executive secretary for the chairman of the board
of the Texas Bank and Trust. It was the 1950s,
and the electric typewriter had just been
introduced. Secretaries often found themselves
retyping entire pages because of one tiny
mistake, as the new model's carbon ribbon made
it difficult to correct errors.
One day, Graham watched workers painting a
holiday display on a bank window. She noticed
that when they made mistakes, they simply
added another layer of paint to cover them up,
and she thought she could apply that idea to her
typing blunders. Using her blender , Graham
mixed up a water-based tempera paint with dye
that matched her company's stationary. She
took it to work and, using a fine watercolor
brush, she was able to quickly correct her errors.
Soon, the other secretaries were clamoring for
the product, which Graham continued to produce
in her kitchen. Graham was fired from her job for
spending so much time distributing what she
called "Mistake Out," but in her unemployment
she was able to tweak her mixture, rename the
product Liquid Paper and receive a patent in
1958. Even though typewriters have been
replaced by computers in many offices, many
people still have a bottle or two of that white
correction fluid on hand.

When we think about advancements in
computers, we tend to think about men like
Charles Babbage, Alan Turing and Bill Gates. But
Admiral Grace Murray Hopper deserves credit for
her role in the computer industry. Admiral Hopper
joined the military in 1943 and was stationed at
Harvard University, where she worked on IBM's
Harvard Mark I computer, the first large-scale
computer in the United States. She was the third
person to program this computer, and she wrote
a manual of operations that lit the path for those
that followed her. In the 1950s, Admiral Hopper
invented the compiler, which translates English
commands into computer code. This device
meant that programmers could create code more
easily and with fewer errors. Hopper's second
compiler, the Flow-Matic, was used to program
UNIVAC I and II, which were the first computers
available commercially. Admiral Hopper also
oversaw the development of the Common
Business-Oriented Language (COBOL), one of the
first computer programming languages. Admiral
Hopper received numerous awards for her work,
including the honor of having a U.S. warship
named after her.

6: Colored Flare System
When Martha Coston was widowed in 1847, she
was only 21 years old. She had four children to
support, but she hadn't a clue about how to do
so. She was flipping through her dead husband's
notebooks when she found plans for a flare
system that ships could use to communicate at
night. Coston requested the system be tested,
but it failed.
Coston was undeterred. She spent the next 10
years revising and perfecting her husband's
design for a colored flare system. She consulted
with scientists and military officers, but she
couldn't figure out how to produce flares that
were bright and long-lasting while remaining
easy to use at the spur of the moment. One
night she took her children to see a fireworks
display, and that's when she hit upon the idea of
applying some pyrotechnic technology to her
flare system. The flare system finally worked,
and the U.S. Navy bought the rights. The Coston
colored flare system was used extensively during
the Civil War.
Unfortunately, the flare system wasn't the best
way for Coston to support her family. According
to military documents, Coston produced
1,200,000 flares for the Navy during the Civil
War, which she provided at cost. She was owed
$120,000, of which she was only paid $15,000;
in her autobiography, Coston attributed the
Navy's refusal to pay to the fact that she was a
woman [source: Pilato].

pulled both ways, it only cuts wood when it's
pulled forward; the return stroke is useless. To
Babbitt, that was wasted energy, so she created
a prototype of the circular saw that would go on
to be used in saw mills. She attached a circular
blade to her spinning wheel so that every
movement of the saw produced results. Because
of Shaker precepts, Babbitt didn't apply for a
patent for the circular saw she created.

Ruth Wakefield had worked as a dietitian and
food lecturer before buying an old toll house
outside of Boston with her husband.
Traditionally, toll houses were places weary
travelers paid their road tolls, grabbed a quick
bite and fed their horses. Wakefield and her
husband converted the toll house into an inn
with a restaurant. One day in 1930, Wakefield
was baking up a batch of Butter Drop Do cookies
for her guests. The recipe called for melted
chocolate, but Wakefield had run out of baker's
chocolate. She took a Nestle chocolate bar,
crumbled it into pieces and threw it into her
batter, expecting the chocolate pieces to melt
during baking. Instead, the chocolate held its
shape, and the chocolate chip cookie was born.
Nestle noticed that sales of its chocolate bars
jumped in Mrs. Wakefield's corner of
Massachusetts, so they met with her about the
cookie, which was fast gaining a reputation
among travelers. At Wakefield's suggestion, they
began scoring their chocolate (cutting lines into
the bar that allow for easier breaking) and then,
in 1939, they began selling Nestle Toll House
Real Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels. The
Wakefield cookie recipe was printed on the back
of the package; in exchange, Ruth Wakefield
received free chocolate for life.

Bette Nesmith Graham was not a very good
typist. Still, the high school dropout worked her
way through the secretarial pool to become the
executive secretary for the chairman of the board
of the Texas Bank and Trust. It was the 1950s,
and the electric typewriter had just been
introduced. Secretaries often found themselves
retyping entire pages because of one tiny
mistake, as the new model's carbon ribbon made
it difficult to correct errors.
One day, Graham watched workers painting a
holiday display on a bank window. She noticed
that when they made mistakes, they simply
added another layer of paint to cover them up,
and she thought she could apply that idea to her
typing blunders. Using her blender , Graham
mixed up a water-based tempera paint with dye
that matched her company's stationary. She
took it to work and, using a fine watercolor
brush, she was able to quickly correct her errors.
Soon, the other secretaries were clamoring for
the product, which Graham continued to produce
in her kitchen. Graham was fired from her job for
spending so much time distributing what she
called "Mistake Out," but in her unemployment
she was able to tweak her mixture, rename the
product Liquid Paper and receive a patent in
1958. Even though typewriters have been
replaced by computers in many offices, many
people still have a bottle or two of that white
correction fluid on hand.

When we think about advancements in
computers, we tend to think about men like
Charles Babbage, Alan Turing and Bill Gates. But
Admiral Grace Murray Hopper deserves credit for
her role in the computer industry. Admiral Hopper
joined the military in 1943 and was stationed at
Harvard University, where she worked on IBM's
Harvard Mark I computer, the first large-scale
computer in the United States. She was the third
person to program this computer, and she wrote
a manual of operations that lit the path for those
that followed her. In the 1950s, Admiral Hopper
invented the compiler, which translates English
commands into computer code. This device
meant that programmers could create code more
easily and with fewer errors. Hopper's second
compiler, the Flow-Matic, was used to program
UNIVAC I and II, which were the first computers
available commercially. Admiral Hopper also
oversaw the development of the Common
Business-Oriented Language (COBOL), one of the
first computer programming languages. Admiral
Hopper received numerous awards for her work,
including the honor of having a U.S. warship
named after her.

6: Colored Flare System
When Martha Coston was widowed in 1847, she
was only 21 years old. She had four children to
support, but she hadn't a clue about how to do
so. She was flipping through her dead husband's
notebooks when she found plans for a flare
system that ships could use to communicate at
night. Coston requested the system be tested,
but it failed.
Coston was undeterred. She spent the next 10
years revising and perfecting her husband's
design for a colored flare system. She consulted
with scientists and military officers, but she
couldn't figure out how to produce flares that
were bright and long-lasting while remaining
easy to use at the spur of the moment. One
night she took her children to see a fireworks
display, and that's when she hit upon the idea of
applying some pyrotechnic technology to her
flare system. The flare system finally worked,
and the U.S. Navy bought the rights. The Coston
colored flare system was used extensively during
the Civil War.
Unfortunately, the flare system wasn't the best
way for Coston to support her family. According
to military documents, Coston produced
1,200,000 flares for the Navy during the Civil
War, which she provided at cost. She was owed
$120,000, of which she was only paid $15,000;
in her autobiography, Coston attributed the
Navy's refusal to pay to the fact that she was a
woman [source: Pilato].
Under the Sea
A female inventor provided us with our first
glimpse of the ocean floor. In 1845, Sarah
Mather patented the submarine telescope and
lamp.

10: Circular Saw
In the late 18th century, a religious sect known
as the Shakers emerged. Shakers valued living
communally (albeit celibately), equality between
the sexes and hard work. Tabitha Babbitt lived in
a Shaker community in Massachusetts and
worked as a weaver, but in 1810, she came up
with a way to lighten the load of her brethren.
She observed men cutting wood with a pit saw,
which is a two-handled saw that requires two
men to pull it back and forth. Though the saw is
pulled both ways, it only cuts wood when it's
pulled forward; the return stroke is useless. To
Babbitt, that was wasted energy, so she created
a prototype of the circular saw that would go on
to be used in saw mills. She attached a circular
blade to her spinning wheel so that every
movement of the saw produced results. Because
of Shaker precepts, Babbitt didn't apply for a
patent for the circular saw she created.

Romance9 Relationship Stages That All Couples Experience by holyjossy01(op):
The 9 relationship stages that all couples
experience
Are you in a new relationship? Or are you in a
seasoned relationship with someone you’ve been
with for several years?
It doesn’t matter how long your relationship has
lasted, because all the relationships will fit snugly
in one of these relationship stages.
Find your own relationship stage here, and it’ll
definitely help you understand your own love life
better.
Stage #1 The infatuation stage. This is the first
stage in every relationship. It almost always
starts with an intense attraction and an
uncontrollable urge to be with each other. Both of
you may be intensely sexually attracted to each
other, or both of you may just love the cuddles
and each other’s company. In this stage, both of
you overlook any flaws of each other and only
focus on the good sides.

Stage #2 The understanding stage. In this stage,
both of you start getting to know each other
better. You have long conversations with your
partner that stretches late into the night, and
everything about your partner interests and
fascinates you. You talk about each other’s
families, exes, likes and dislikes and other
innocent secrets, and life seems so beautiful and
romantic.
Stage #3 The stage of disturbances. This stage
usually forces its way into a happy romance after
a few months of blissful courting. Do you
remember the first fight or angry disagreement
you and your partner had? For the first time ever
in the relationship, both of you confront each
other over a conflict, even though it’s sorted out
quickly.

Stage #4 The opinion maker. In this stage, both
of you create opinions about each other. As the
months pass by, both of you know what to expect
from each other, and you make an assumption
about your partner’s commitment towards the
relationship.
When these opinions and expectations about your
partner differ now and then in real life, it can
either leave you ecstatic or depressed.
You don’t expect your man to buy you flowers,
but he does. You feel ecstatic. At the same time,
you expect him to pick you up from the airport on
time. But he arrives an hour later because he
forgot all about picking you up. It depresses you.
Stage

#5 The moulding stage. You have your own
expectations from an ideal partner. And in this
stage, both of you try hard to mould each other to
fit your own wants in a perfect partner. This
stage is a lot about give and take, and both
partners constantly try to subtly convince each
other to change their behavior towards the
relationship. This is a power struggle, and one
that can end the relationship if both partners are
domineering.

Stage #6 The happy stage. If the relationship
survives past the moulding stage, both of you
may have changed equally for each other and
understood each other’s expectations. In this
stage, the relationship cruises along perfectly and
both of you may be blissfully happy with each
other.
Almost always, this is the stage when both of you
feel like a perfect match. You may even decide to
get engaged or get married. This happy stage is
also the stage of attachment when both of you
truly feel connected to each other and love each
other intensely.


Stage #7 The stage of doubts. It’s been several
years since both of you have been in a
relationship with each other. And somewhere
along the way, doubts start to creep in. The
intensity of the doubts depend on how happy both
of you are in the relationship.
You start to think of your past relationships, your
exes, and other prospective partners. You tie your
happiness in life with your relationship. If you’re
unhappy, you blame it on the relationship.
In this stage, you start comparing your
relationship with other couples and other
relationships. Would your relationship survive this
stage? It definitely could, as long as your
relationship isn’t monotonous and repetitive.

Stage #8 The sexual exploration or bust stage.
This is the stage when your sex life starts to play
a pivotal role. Both your sex drives may change
or one of you may get disinterested in sex.
In this stage, you either give up on passionate sex
or constantly look for ways to make sex more
exciting. If sexual interests start differing here,
one of you may end up having an affair. But on
the other hand, if you find creative ways to make
sex more exciting, your relationship could get
better and bring both of you a lot closer.


Stage #9 The stage of complete trust. This is the
happy stage when both of you love each other
and trust each other completely. But at the same
time, the unbreakable trust in each other could
also turn into taking each other for granted.
In this stage, both of you know the direction of
the relationship and both of you are completely
happy with each other and find it easy to predict
each other’s behavior and decisions. But with
stability in love comes the urge to take each
other for granted.
As pleasant as this final stage of love may be,
it’s still no excuse to take each other lightly or
stop appreciating each other, because love is an
intense emotion that can be rekindled by anyone
else at any time if you fail to express your
romance to your lover.
If you’re in a relationship for a while, you may
have experienced all or most of these relationship
stages. And if you’re still in a young love, don’t
let the dark side of these relationship stages scare
you.

Instead, look at these 9 relationship stages as
stepping stones into a better future, one that’s
filled with a lot of love and happiness, just as
long as both of you remember to keep love alive
all the time.

Any other stage/s I omitted, please add yours.
Disagree with some? let me know
