Sound familiar? You may be a victim of gaslighting . The term is used to describe a form of emotional abuse where one person gradually manipulates another in order to gain control. It could involve the abuser pretending to misunderstand their victim, or questioning how they remember events. They then dismiss their valid worries as “crazy” or “sensitive” until the person is confused and vulnerable. Google searches of the word have gradually crept up in recent months, and the tactic is incredibly common according to Penny East, a spokeswoman for the charity SafeLives told The Independent. “Abusers manipulate their victims carefully and purposefully; they switch readily bet

Shakespeare's First Folio was compiled by his friends and published on Nov. 8, 1623, seven years after his death. Some 750 copies are believed to have been printed, containing 36 of the 37 plays Shakespeare wrote, arranged for the first time as comedies, tragedies and histories.

Similar to some of the previous fatalities that shocked the world, Dr Gaurav worked out at the gym regularly and even played cricket to stay fit and healthy.

‘Fargo’ Season 5, Episode 8 Recap: Rude Awakenings

[ad_1] Season 5, Episode 8: ‘Blanket’ When Dot was kidnapped early in the season and then she simply returned home as if nothing had happened, it was absurd on its face. No one, other than Wayne, could believe that she had stepped out for a while and come back in time to whisk up some Bisquick for their daughter. And even though she knew that her abductors would lay siege to the house again, she was determined to enjoy Halloween with her family, even as she laid out booby traps like Dustin Hoffman in “Straw Dogs.” She’s the sort of determined fantasist who believes she can bend reality to her will. That bubble is punctured in two lines in this week’s episode, as Roy finally has her back at his ranch in North Dakota, shackled to the floor like an animal. “You’ll end up same as Linda,” he hisses. “I’ll bury you right next to her.” We had just spent most of the previous episode at Camp Utopia, the women’s shelter that Dot had conjured in a reverie over pancakes, which seemed at the t

After searching in vain for cookery classes for her young son that would offer healthy options and make him as passionate about food as she was at his age, Rebattet decided to found her own cooking school for children and teenagers. She was inspired by the time she spent with her Italian grandma during the school holidays. “I used to spend weeks at her home and cooking was our daily activity,” she says. “I still love to remember how long our spaghetti was and she always let me lick the spoons!” For Rebattet, it’s fundamental to see the new generations cooking from scratch with seasonal ingredients. “To add flavour to our meals, we used to go to the garden and pick the necessary aro

[ad_1] A recent video featuring an Aishwarya Rai lookalike has been making the rounds on social media. The said video is a short clip from an on-the-spot interview by a reporter asking Pakistani entrepreneur Kanwal Cheema about her thoughts on people comparing her to the Bollywood diva. In the video, the reporter is heard asking Kanwal “How does it feel to be compared to Aishwarya Rai?”, to which the unsuspecting interviewee responds with a dismissive facial expression, saying “I don’t want to answer this question”. After giving her response, Kanwal tried to end the conversation by laughing off the matter. However, upon the reporter’s further questioning on the topic, Kanwal admitted that she is often compared to the Bollywood superstar but that she is not fond of the comparison. Kanwal was caught on the spot by the reporter, just as she was stepping away after the conclusion of an event where she gave a speech about her work.
