November 2018 www.womanthismonth.com news 8 Letters Its great that WTM dedicated so many pages to the issue of breast cancer. Its not a new term for women of any age anymore, but it needs to be in our faces often so that we are reminded to get screened regularly, and pay attention to our physical and mental health. It was especially heartening to know that there are women like Shaikha Alanood who are dedicating their time and efforts to affected women. Good job! Najla, Budaiya We women are thrust with stereotypes more often than not, one of the most common being that we don’t do well with numbers. Well, people are being proved wrong (a lot) these days, thanks to women who are ruling the roost in financial organisations and not willing to rest on their laurels. It’s not said enough that we can crunch numbers just as well as we can be caregivers and nurturers. I enjoyed reading about the work that the women featured in your magazine are doing. Another generalisation that we deal with is that a working relationship between two females is riddled with jealousy, doubt and one-upmanship, but I think it’s on the contrary. Only a woman will have the heart (and common sense) to hold up, support, guide, fill in for and genuinely befriend a lady colleague.

After a long pause, work on the launch of a replica of the ill-fated RMS Titanic has recommenced, announced Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, who is behind the controversial initiative. The new ship will allegedly be an identical copy of the infamous liner, which sank in 1912 following a collision with an iceberg. Titanic II will apparently be outfitted with plenty of life boats, will have a welded hull, plus modern navigation and radar equipment. The ship will follow the original journey, carrying passengers from Southampton to New York, with the first sailing scheduled in 2022. It'll be outfitted exactly like the original Titanic – including the grand staircase that plays a memorable role in James Cameron's hit movie. www.cnn.com # Trending What’s caught our eye in the news this month Wedding Donation Bride-to-be, Kolbie Sanders, called off her wedding in October, a week before the actual date. She donated her venue and decorations to a couple she had never met before. She wrote on Facebook: “Since my wedding venue has been paid for in full already, I have decided to donate my venue valued at $3,500 to a couple to use for their wedding day! They would need to be ready to get married on the date that my venue is booked for.” The kindly singleton said that it was for couples who love each other and will continue to choose each other for the rest of their lives. From 45 potential entrants, Halie Hipsher’s name was drawn, who was overjoyed to have been picked. www.metro.co.uk I have been thinking about re-doing my kitchen, but do not want to spend a bomb as I live in a rented apartment. The Homes section in last month’s issue gave me some inspiration to do this on a budget, and without making any major changes. I’ve already visited some of the retailers you have featured, and am on my way to a brand-new kitchen look in time for the holiday season.
