A woman’s needs

She needs the attention of someone who cares about her.
She needs the help of someone who wants to take care of her needs.
She needs time when she is not considering what everyone else wants but when someone is considering her wishes.
She needs someone who understands what she likes and makes a plan so that she doesn’t even to think.
She needs someone to anticipate her needs, wants, and wishes and to offer to help without her having to ask.
She needs someone to notice her, love her, and adore her.
She needs someone to miss her and desire her.
She needs to love freely and trust that she will be loved in return.
She needs someone who cares about her well-being to understand what she is going trough and recognize the validity of her feelings.
She needs someone she can confide in who is trustworthy and will not turn on her or break her confidence by revealing her secrets.
She needs someone who regards her as special.
She needs someone to help her in her life so she doesn’t feel she is doing it all by herself.

She not only needs these things but needs to have them fulfilled by someone with whom she feels a natural chemistry on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. While these needs are not requirement for her survival, like eating, drinking, breathing and shelter, they are required to help her feel a higher degree of emotional fulfillment.
When the lower needs for survival are met, then the higher needs for love and intimacy become more important. For example, if you’re really hungry, then getting fed is all you’re concerned about. Once you have plenty of food, your other needs become important as well. When a woman can provide for herself she begins to strongly feel her higher needs to find fulfillment.
To experience increasing fulfillment, a woman doesn’t have to have all of her needs met at once. The whole process of dating is a gradual process of satisfying her needs a little more at a time. To be satisfied, she just needs to feel hope that one day her emotional needs will be met. In a similar manner, a man doesn’t have to have all his sexual needs met right away; he just needs the hope that they are moving in that direction.
When a man moves into a woman’s world and expresses his support, she appreciates his willingness to help as much as the help itself. On an emotional level, she suddenly feels she is not as alone in the world. When a man does something concrete and tangible for a woman, not only does the woman feel supported, but the man gets to feel successful.

Disaster-hit Japan faces protracted nuclear crisis

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan appeared resigned on Monday to a long fight to contain the world's most dangerous atomic crisis in 25 years after high radiation levels complicated work at its crippled nuclear plant.
Engineers have been battling to control the six-reactor Fukushima complex since it was damaged by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami that also left more than 27,000 people dead or missing across Japan's devastated northeast.
A magnitude 6.5 earthquake rocked the region on Monday, the latest in a series of aftershocks, and officials warned it would trigger a 50-cm (two feet) tsunami wave.
Radiation at the nuclear plant has soared in recent days. Latest readings on Sunday showed contamination 100,000 times normal in water at reactor No. 2 and 1,850 times normal in the nearby sea.
Those were the most alarming levels since the crisis began.
"I think maybe the situation is much more serious than we were led to believe," said one expert, Najmedin Meshkati, of the University of Southern California, adding it may take weeks to stabilise the situation and the United Nations should step in.
"This is far beyond what one nation can handle - it needs to be bumped up to the U.N. Security Council. In my humble opinion, this is more important than the Libya no fly zone."
Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. has conceded it faces a protracted and uncertain operation to contain overheating fuel rods and avert a meltdown.
"Regrettably, we don't have a concrete schedule at the moment to enable us to say in how many months or years (the crisis will be over)," TEPCO vice-president Sakae Muto said in the latest of round-the-clock briefings the company holds.
Though experts said radiation in the Pacific waters will quickly dissipate, the levels at the site are clearly dangerous, and the 450 or so engineers there have won admiration and sympathy around the world for their bravery and sense of duty.
The nuclear crisis is an especially sensitive subject for Japanese given they are the only nation to have been hit by atomic bombs, at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Last week, two workers at Fukushima were injured with radiation burns to their legs after water seeped over their shoes, and on Sunday engineers had to abandon reactor No. 2 after the new reading.
Further afield, beyond the evacuation zone around Fukushima, there has been plenty of evidence of radiation -- from tap water in Tokyo 240 km (150 miles) south of the nuclear facility to particles found as far away as Iceland.
In the latest find, traces of radioactive iodine turned up in rainwater samples in Massachusetts in the United States, but health officials there said they posed no threat.
Japanese officials and international nuclear experts have generally said the levels away from the plant are not dangerous for humans, who anyway face comparable radiation doses on a daily basis from natural substances, X-rays or plane flights.
