The Game Of Life 2 How To Spin
Tommye Hope
Learning to spin was a whirlwind of new experiences, and after relocating far from home to take on a new job, I was feeling particularly open to new things. Spinning entered my life at a transition period where I was into both trying different things and thinking introspectively about the journey of life. Spinning lessons became spinning life lessons.
No doubt, there is no better place to learn to spin than Interweave. My coworkers are not only knowledgeable and dedicated to their crafts, but they are also eager to teach others. After five weeks of spinning lessons, I found that what I was learning could easily transfer into my daily life. Perhaps this list of spinning life lessons can serve as a nice reminder for you. (See the links at the end of this post to follow my journey week by week.)
When my teacher and coworker Elizabeth began my lessons, I made a joke that she must have been born attached to a spinning wheel because she seemed like such a natural. But, of course years of practice made Elizabeth seem like a natural. Maybe she even felt as awkward as I did when she started spinning fiber. In spinning and everything else, everyone has to start somewhere! I've learned not to compare myself with others, especially those with more experience.

My junior year of college was spent in France. I struggled through complex engineering classes taught in French each week. My reward was low-cost excursions on the weekends to beautiful cities and towns throughout Europe. I was a poor college student in culturally rich part of the world. I made the most of it!
One of the most memorable trips was to Paris. I remember being in awe of the city and how different it was from NYC or Boston. My senses were hyper-aware. It was there that I saw something truly powerful.
We were in an open area near The Louvre where a bunch of street performers were entertaining. Jugglers, artists, knife swallowers, etc. Yet, it was the plate spinner who caught my attention. He started with a single stick and small china plate. A few quick slaps of his and and the plate was spinning nicely. Quickly, he added seven more. The crowed cheered as eight plates spinned effortlessly. Suddenly, one started to wobble. He raced over and gave it a few quick hand slaps until it was spinning properly again. He proceeded to do this until all the plates seemed to be in good shape. He then grabbed some balls and started juggling. The crowd cheered as he did more tricks in between keeping the plates spinning. Watching him keep everything in motion was captivating. He never lost his cool. He had mastered the ability to give his attention where needed, while still maintaining control over the entire process. Without realizing it, I was witnessing a technique I would use years later in my career coaching practice...
Work-life balance is an illusion. It's not everlasting. Like those spinning plates, we can do our best to get everything in our lives to be turning in the right direction, but it only lasts for a moment, a day, week, month, or if we are lucky, a year or two before something happens to disrupt it. Just like those occasional wobbly plates the street performer had to slap back into motion, we too have times when we must focus more intently on a key area of our life to get it back on track and in balance with the rest of our lives. It's amazing how easy it is for our life to be thrown out of balance. Here are just a few of the things I've seen affect a client's work-life situation:
Losing a job.
Getting a new boss they dislike.
Getting divorced.
Getting married.
Having a spouse change jobs.
Having a child.
Having a child leave for college.
Going back to school.
Starting a new hobby or part-time business.
Moving to a new town and having a longer commute.
Having to care for an aging parent or sick loved one.
Falling in love with a new person, place or thing.
Unexpected financial gains or losses.
When these things occur, people find themselves rushing like the street performer to slap the appropriate life plate back into motion. However, if they focus too hard on one plate, it can create a troubling side-effect.
Clients who have been out of work for for months often come to me and say, "J.T., I've been focused 110% on my job search. I haven't done anything else. My life's a mess." Then, as they explain what they've been doing, it becomes clear while obsessing over fixing their career, they've been ignoring all the other areas of their life, and ultimately creating a truly unhappy self.
2) Pressing play on life is the only way to keep your physical and mental energy up in the job search. You must nurture the other areas of your life to ensure they stay strong and can support you as you look for work.

To me, being in my fraternity has provided me with the greatest experience of my college career. I have made lifelong friends through being a part of group that represents our brotherhood. In my group I have served in different capacities and have learned a great amount through each of those experiences. In my most recent position, I am currently serving as President of our group. As you can imagine being in charge of a group of 18-22 year old guys is just about impossible. However, it has been an invaluable experience as I have learned more about leadership, service and patience than I ever have in my life.
As I move through my senior year at Grove City College, I have had the opportunity to reminisce on my experience these past 4 years. I will certainly miss this place as I have grown more than I could have possibly imagined and owe more to this institution than I thought was possible. In looking back on my years in my fraternity I have become extremely appreciative of all those that came before me, and made the opportunity to join a group that I fit so well in available to me. My only hope is that those that come after me will be able to experience even better opportunities than those that were provided to me.
I was wondering, if a planet in similar size and mass to earth would have, from its creation, been spinning at this hypothetical planet speed limit (with it somehow staying in once piece) could life still evolve with the conditions that seem catastrophic to us? (huge disk shaped equator, from what I gather, and extremely intense winds)
It is an interesting question. Firstly, because of the science-based tag, it is unlikely that any planetary body could rotate at anywhere near the limiting rotational velocity. Most planetoids in the solar system have a period more than about 2 hours - anything faster is generally very small (sub 1 km) although there are a few exceptions (one object 400 km in diameter with a 30 minute period is listed in a wiki article). It is not obvious how normal planetary creation or even a violent collision could give an earth-like body anywhere near that rotation rate.
But allowing for some wierd natural phenomenon (or artificial means of spinning up), a rapidly spinning body can form into a stable oblate spheroid or a rod-shape or a multi-lobed structure (or even a torus).
Assuming the oblate spheroid option, the maximum stable spin is when the surface gravity at the equator is equal to the centrifugal force on an object at the equator. That means that a body at the equator is (almost) in geo-stationary orbit. Any faster and the planet will fly apart.
Effective gravity at the equator (that is the sum of the effects of gravity plus centrifugal acceleration) would be almost zero - i.e you would be nearly weightless. At the poles gravity would be about 2/3 of what it is on earth. Interestingly though, on the oblate spheroidal surface, the local 'down' would still be perpendicular to the surface at every point (assuming the planet was in hydrostatic equilibrium) - although the horizon would appear much closer at the equator and much further away at the poles compared with Earth.
With regard to intense winds etc - the rate of rotation and the oblacity wouldn't in themselves cause excessive winds - but they would likely result from a combination of solar radiance (heating the atmosphere) and the Coreolis effect (which would be much greater than that which we experience on Earth). But whether this would cause mega hurricanes, or rapidly circulating latitudinal air-flows like you see on the gas giants is in the realms of exoplanet meteorology so I cant really comment. In principle there is no reason why the atmosphere might not be relatively stable.
On other effect of this oblacity is that if there was a significant axial tilt like earth's then the seasons would likely be a lot more extreme - as the poles would have a surface far more oblique to the sun and the portion of the planet s surface that could be considered 'polar' would be much larger.
