This week Melissa is working with clients in New York during the day and sleeping at my apartment in Swarthmore. I wait for her to return each night at 9pm like I am like the cranky wife frustrated by her spouse’s long commute. My kids wait to light Chanukah candles with her like they are the cranky four-year-olds frustrated by the long wait for gifts.

When Squarespace contacted me and asked me to collaborate with them, I said yes. I usually say no to everybody. But, everybody I know uses them for their sites and their sites all look so good. And I thought it would be really good for my brand to be working with Squarespace. So I said yes. Then I did a lot of thinking about the best way to do the partnership with them, because I had a million ideas and you can do anything on Squarespace.

Myanmar's emergence on the global stage will not follow the same path as that taken by other emerging economies -- such as China in the 1980s and Vietnam in the 1990s. That's because automation threatens to undermine the very industries, such as textiles and garments, that emerging nations have traditionally relied on to accelerate economic growth and create jobs.
