Why My Pantyhose are in a Twist. Closed Mindsets.
I hate a closed mindset. If you resist trying something new, this article is for you. I'm ok if you ask my advice and I suggest something you've already tried and it didn't work. Kudos to you for trying.
What I can't stand is when you ask my advice, have never tried it but you're convinced it won't work… for you. That's being closed-minded.
That's Why My Pantyhose are in a Twist. Closed Mindsets.
Every week, I receive phone calls, emails or social media messages, asking different "what if" or "how to" questions from sales people. And there's always one in the bunch that has a closed mind to every suggestion.
When I ask back..
"Have you ever tried this"
the answer is NO. Then I follow with,
"have you ever heard of this suggestion"
and the answer is NO.
BUT YET the next thing I hear is…
"But Christine, my situation is different."
Dude…we all think our situations are different, special and like no one else. You're living in a closed mindset.
As a kid, I'd try whatever anyone suggested when I wanted to succeed at something. I played trumpet. Lived for trumpet. Loved playing trumpet. My private teacher was the bomb too me. I did everything he told me.
When I began selling, I did everything my boss suggested. I'd always try suggestions until I perfected it. If over a period of time it just didn't click for me, I find something that did. BUT I always tried first.
Growing up, my family loosely resembled "All in the Family". My Dad had his favorite recliner, and my Mom (God love her) was as spacey as Edith. Dad referred to me as Meathead although I look nothing like Rob Reiner. Obviously and thank God!
Dad barked out the orders from his chair and my Mom waited on him hand and foot. I didn't realize until later that I was actually living in a reality sitcom..called The Harrington's. Even though I joke about it, my respect for both my parents run deep.
Mom and Dad instilled in me to always try something first. My Dad never let me settle for "but Dad I tried"..his rebuttal was always."Well try harder!" Of course his wise advice came while sitting in his recliner. And he never let me quit.
Dad was a man who worked sometimes 3 jobs to take care of his family. And Mom worked too. So in our home, try was not a word we used. Maybe that's why people who make excuses grind on my last nerve.
If you've worked hard at something, and gave it your all but it's not working…then yes..shift to a different direction. But don't close your mind off to a new way of doing something without trying it first, especially when you've asked for the advice. Consider the possibilities at the very least.
In this instant gratification world a danger has emerged. The danger is certainty. When you live under a false illusion that you can have it now, the false illusion of certainty follows. At any given moment with a cell phone, it's possible to find anything you may want to know or legally buy simply by clicking on an App or Google. Instant gratification. Instant Certainty. Yet people are living through Apps, because in the real world there are no guarantees.
Don't get me wrong…I love technology and all that it brings to the business world. I love connecting with followers and having conversations with people across the globe.
I'm just finding more and more people are not willing to challenge themselves or move out of their comfort zone, even when I make a simple suggestion to improve their sales. Why? Because they've become addicted to instant gratification and a false sense of certainty. And this is dangerous.
This is why my pantyhose is in a twist. Sales is a life long learning process of trying different things.Progress is happiness. You can't make progress or find happiness by closing your mind off to an endless stream of opportunities and possibilities. When you say without trying…"No, that won't work"…What you're really saying is your afraid to try.
If you've read this article to the very end and have an interesting opinion or an idea, I welcome the opportunity of reading your thoughts in the comments below. And Yes…women still wear pantyhose.

Step 1: Do some preparation for interviews
Competency-based interview meetings generally taken by the recruiters in Assessment Centers may incorporate your most recent work involvement or a few circumstances during your college studies. You may consider ahead concrete instances of various work encounters you had before, the particular tasks you were assigned, the methodology you made for tackling those tasks and the results of your work. While it is great to be spontaneous during the appraisal, you ought to likewise prepare thoughts that you may review during the meeting instead of sitting around idly by thinking.
Step 2: Practice a few mocks appraisal tests
You may acclimate yourself with the type of questions that come in each kind of appraisal tests by taking mock tests which are accessible on the web. Verbal, abstract, and numerical reasoning evaluations are typically directed in Assessment Centers, and you may work on understanding a few questionnaires that are similar or related to these. Accordingly, the genuine query in the Assessment Center won't come as a surprise, and you will be rationally prepared for it.
Step 3: Behave properly
Act professionally in appraisal centers and attempt to carry on and think like the representatives the recruiters are searching for. On the day of your interview, pick corporate clothing to look formal and presentable, and arrive on the place in time. Be sure, smile, shake hands while presenting yourself, and be comfortable with individuals around you while keeping up your self-control and focus. Enjoy beneficial discussions and when suitable, ask some astute queries.
Step 4: Practice for different exercises
Case studies might be utilized in an appraisal center to gauge how you reason with the work situations or anything business-related, and how you disclose your answers for these situations. This might be done in a group or individually. Hence, you need to keep yourself well updated to current affairs. Group exercises are used to evaluate how well you communicate and work with a team. Thus, you should be a good team player focusing on the goal while keeping track of time as well.
During In-tray or E-tray exercises, you are given multiple tasks in a short period to check how your thinking works under stressful situations. In some recruitment centers, you might be given written exercises to test how clear your messages are and to measure your professionalism.
Step 5: Ask for feedback
Find out at what time you can call for feedback about the interview. If you don't get the job try to find out the reason why. So that you can improve that area well. The next time you give another interview, you can have that in mind and be careful about it. Remember to have faith in yourself and your preparation. There is no way that your hard work will be wasted. If not at first attempt you get the job, try again. If you have capabilities, then surely you will get a job.
Step 6: Have a good night sleep
You should be in good shape, both mentally and physically, to meet the desires of an evaluation center. One approach to do that has a good night's rest preceding the test date. This will likewise help increment your concentration while responding to the test questions.
Appraisal centers can be a startling prospect. Keep in mind, however: if you have made this far, you've officially dazzled the examiner and are near to being offered the job. If you've done all the preparation that you can, then there is no reason left that you shouldn't succeed. Try to stay calm, act naturally, and enjoy the day – competitors who join in energetically and show an authentic enthusiasm for the job and their companions are normally those destined to succeed.

Controversy broke out at Norwalk High School Friday night, after Trinity Catholic's Johnny Somers made a spectacular fourth-down catch between three defenders with 1:22 remaining that provided the winning margin in a 22-20 decision over the Bears.
The official on the play first started to rule a touchdown, then quickly changed his call to incomplete. An official much farther away came running in, and after a meeting the play was ruled a score.
Norwalk coach Sean Ireland, irate at the decision, was assessed two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and ejected. Emotions were already frayed because there were 25 penalties called in the game and almost every one led to a meeting between the officials, removing much of the flow.
The Ruden Report was provided a copy of the play in question.
Here it is. You make the call.

Training Software Engineers using Open-Source Software: The Students' Perspective
Software Engineering courses often emphasize teaching methodologies and concepts in small and controlled environments over teaching, say, maintenance aspects of full-fledged real software systems. This decision is partly justified due to the difficulty of bringing to the context of a classroom a real software project. The widespread presence of open source projects, however, is contributing to alleviating this problem. Several instructors have already adopted contributions to open source projects as part of their evaluation process, and these instructors reported many benefits, including the improvement on students' technical and social skills. However, little is known about the students' perceptions regarding the need to contribute to an open source project as part of a Software Engineering course. To better understand the students' challenges, benefits, and attitudes, we conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with students who took these courses in five different Brazilian universities. We also enriched this data with an analysis of commits performed in the repositories that students contributed to. We observed that even though some instructors chose the open source projects to students to work themselves, some students and even the open source community participated in the process of choosing projects and tasks. Students' contributions varied concerning both complexity (measured by the number of additions, deletions, and edited files) and diversity (measured regarding the different programming languages used). Among the benefits, students reported improving their technical skills and their self-confidence. Finally, some students found extremely important for instructors' being involved with open source initiatives (extra-classroom).

TAIPEI (Taiwan News)—At this year's Muslim Carnival which will take place on June 17 at Daan Forest Park, the municipal government will introduce vending machines that sell Halal certified foods—the first of its kind to be introduced in non-Muslim countries, Taipei City's Department of Information and Tourism (TPEDOIT) said on Friday.
The vending machine has received strong support from both JAKIM (the Malay agency responsible for the Islamic affairs) and the International Institute for Halal Research & Training (INHART), the TPEDOIT said, adding that the facility has also attracted the interest of foreign vendors.
The initial installation of these vending machines targets universities and colleges with higher numbers of Muslim students, such as National Chengchi University and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, the agency said. The city government will also seek to cooperate with Muslim-friendly enterprises to increase the number of the vending machines and help create a Muslim-friendly environment, according to the agency. The foods sold in the machines, some of which were created by Taiwanese manufacturers' ingenuity, will include sandwiches, hamburgers, and instant rice meals, with more options on the way, the agency said
While achieving Halal friendliness standards requires implementation of special practices which may differ from local customs, an increased number of restaurants are showing interest to become Halal-certified in light of the growing Muslim tourist market, which accounts for about 10% of the overall global tourism market, according to the agency.
TPEDOIT Commissioner Chen Su-yu (陳思宇) has encouraged restaurants and hotels to achieve standards for Muslim/Halal friendliness and promoted "pork-free" and "non-alcohol" labeling among night market vendors to provide Muslim visitors and residents with a friendly and convenient environment.
According to the 2018 Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) report, Taiwan now ranks fifth on the list of Muslim-friendly non-OIC tourist destinations—the first time for the island to break into top five. Seeing the improvement as encouragement, as the destination of choice for international visitors to Taiwan, Taipei City will keep up its effort in making the city even more Muslim-friendly, the TPEDOIT said.

The past few years have revealed that the genomes of all studied eukaryotes are almost entirely transcribed, generating an enormous number of non–protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). In parallel, it is increasingly evident that many of these RNAs have regulatory functions. Here, we highlight recent advances that illustrate the diversity of ncRNA control of genome dynamics, cell biology, and developmental programming.

Split System - Heat Pump
The split-system is the most common type of central air system that takes care of both heating and cooling your home. The split-system consists of both an indoor and outdoor component. The condenser is located outdoors while the furnace and coil or air handler is located inside.
With these split systems, you can pair a furnace or an air handler with an air conditioner depending on what your particular needs are, your home size, space, and layout, and the weather patterns of the area. The split-system with an air handler could be the all-inclusive solution for your home. If you feel you need more heat, we can install heat strips to your air handler. For colder climates, the furnace would be better suited.

So, as the site's title would suggest, my penmanship could use some work. Shockingly, I draw worse than I write. I want to change that, and the only way is to practice, practice, practice. So I thought up a new challenge that compensates for my laziness and loosens up some of the perfectionist restrictions I place on myself. So lets jump right into the rules.
- Pick a noun (person, place, or thing) or have one randomly selected for you.
- Using only ONE page, sketch that noun.
- Post your sketch online with the hashtag #TodaysNoun, and tag me (@thepoorpenman)
- Post the whole page, mistakes and all.
- NO DO-OVERS. Imperfection is expected.
- Daily sketches not required, but encouraged.
The point is to just do the work and put it out there. I've always been interested in drawing but I get incredibly frustrated when my hand cannot translate what my brain creates. I want to break that habit and I want others to help me along this path. So tell your friends, tag me for re-posts, and keep checking in.

butterflies in my head...
someone please explain to me how Alexander McQueen can be so AMAZINGGGG
this just looks (to me) like a combination of Balenciaga's jodhpurs and crazy structured dresses...
real feathers?!
7 comments:
Hehe... because Lee McQueen works his interns to the bone and mistreats them quite a bit to produce such stunning results..... or so I've heard...
Seriously though.... his ideas are truly not of this world and though he has a rep of making his team work hard, I respect him for having those visions in the first place and executing them so well!

You know those days that you anticipate excitedly and just hope they meet your expectations because you know you might have been too excited and then, in the end, the day goes nothing like you had expected? (Hope that makes sense.) Well, this was one of those days that exceeded all my expectations and I owe that, largely in part to my amazing friend Neeti. Neeti is originally from India and she volunteered to help us with our fun Mehndi-inspired day. Not only did she help with the Mehndi, but she even made us a traditional Indian dish for lunch….and that was a HUGE undertaking considering there were 4 adults and 8 children to feed, plus three young infants. Some people might have considered this absolute madness and not at all enjoyed the outcome of the day, but I have to say the "process" today was exceptionally fun and the "product" simply wonderful.
Neeti came over and made herself right at home in my kitchen, something I welcomed with gratefulness. While she cooked and our house filled with the scent of Indian spices and onions, I worked on our Mehndi-inspired cookies. I got this idea from Sprinklebakes.com and once I saw it, I knew we absolutely had to make these delicious and artistic treats. So, I made the dough beforehand and let it chill, although I didn't use the spice-cookie recipe from Sprinklebakes, but a holiday sugar cookie recipe instead (based on what I had on hand). Next, I helped each child trace their hand onto cardboard and cut it out to make a cookie design of their hand.
After we filled our bellies, the kids took turns decorating their cookies using a small-tipped paintbrush and some black Milton's food coloring gel.
Here are a couple of cookies I decorated, inspired by the Sprinklebakes designs.
For our grand finale, the kids washed up and Neeti painted everyone's hands with Mehndi (henna). (She even purchased the legit henna from India, not the kind you mix from the craft store.) This was a HUGE highlight for the kids and even though it was tough for them to sit still and let them dry, Neeti did an AMAZING job and had such patience as the kids gathered for their turn.
All in all a FANTASTIC day! We so enjoyed participating in this
Indian tradition but maybe mostly enjoyed celebrating it with friends…lots and lots of friends.THANK YOU NEETI!!!!! We loved every minute of the chaos.

Barbara Deming and David McReynolds
By Martin Duberman
The New Press
298 pages; $27.95
Martin Duberman, known as "the father of gay studies," is a
distinguished historian, playwright, essayist, novelist, and
public intellectual, and any new book by him is an event in
queer culture to which attention must be paid.
Such is certainly the case with "A Saving Remnant: The
Radical Lives of Barbara Deming and David McReynolds," an
unusual dual biography by Duberman just published by the New
Duberman is a distinguished professor of history emeritus at
the Graduate Center of the City University of New York,
where three decades ago he founded the Center for Lesbian
and Gay Studies (CLAGS), the first such program in any
American university, much emulated since. Duberman's long
struggle to establish that center is recounted in his third
volume of memoirs, "Waiting to Land," published two years
ago (see this reporter's October 15, 2009 review, "Queer
Studies' Essential Man."
Duberman first established his reputation as a historian
with his groundbreaking work on the 19th-century anti-
slavery movement, and later produced stunning biographies of
the likes of Paul Robeson and Lincoln Kirstein, among
others, a body of work that won him the recognition of his
peers, who awarded him the American Historical Association's
Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Scholarship.
Duberman was already well-known as an important public
intellectual whose essays and articles engaged with "the
passion and action of our time" (to borrow Oliver Wendell
Holmes' formulation), and as a prize-winning historian and
playwright, when he became the first major intellectual of
premier rank to come out and join the gay liberation
movement in the early 1970s. As an activist, he went on to
help found the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and,
later, Queers for Economic Justice.
With his new book, "A Saving Remnant," Duberman returns to
the preoccupation with social movements that has been at the
heart of much of his work. And in choosing to recount the
lives of Barbara Deming and David McReynolds, Duberman has
picked two openly queer Americans who devoted their lives to
the struggles for peace and social justice.
Nothing in their family backgrounds destined either Deming
or McReynolds to become political radicals. Deming, a
novelist, short story writer, and poet who was born in 1917
and died in 1984, was raised in Manhattan by upper-middle
class parents with "traditional habits and opinions." But at
16, she fell in love with her mother's best friend (Edna St.
Vincent Millay's sister Norma) and boldly wrote in her
journal, "I am a lesbian. I must face it." Thereafter, she
refused to conceal her sexual orientation. After graduation
from Bennington, Deming moved to Greenwich Village, worked
at Orson Welles' Mercury Theater, and had a brief affair
with Lotte Lenya, the Austrian actress-singer who was
married to composer Kurt Weill.
McReynolds, born in 1929 and still going strong today, was
raised in Los Angeles as a devout Baptist by conservative
Republican parents. But while in high school he read
muckraker Lincoln Steffens' autobiography and underwent a
political conversion. McReynolds had his first homosexual
experience in grammar school, and when he was 19 came out to
his parents. Although he had some guilt about his
"deviance," that vanished when he was a student at UCLA
after an encounter in a notorious "queer bathroom" on campus
with a young Alvin Ailey, not yet famous as a dancer and
"Alvin's guilt-free attitude toward homosexuality became a
model for David (`I came home walking on a cloud') and the
two became good friends, though never lovers," Duberman
By this time, 1951, McReynolds had become deeply involved
with the Socialist Party. Founded in 1901 under the
leadership of labor leader Eugene Victor Debs, the party
reached its peak of influence in 1912, when, with Debs as
its presidential candidate, it won 6 percent of the vote;
had 100 elected public officials, including several members
of Congress; and a press with a readership in the millions.
But the party's principled pacifism during World Wars I and
II brought it government persecution and decimated its
membership, and by the early '50s the party, for decades led
by Norman Thomas, was a shadow of its former self.
As a well-known, "outspoken and magnetic" campus radical "on
the non-Communist side," the handsome young McReynolds
became a leader of the Socialists' left wing, all while
being open about his homosexuality with his party comrades
in its somewhat Bohemian LA local, but "never taking any
flack for it."
McReynolds, already a committed pacifist, risked prison when
he refused induction into the army for the Korean War, and
it was then that he met Bayard Rustin, the field director of
the principal pacifist organization, the War Resisters
League, later famous as the organizer of the 1963 March on
Washington under Martin Luther King's leadership. At the
time of their meeting, Rustin had just been arrested on a
"morals charge" for a homosexual encounter, and a long talk
with Rustin about homosexuality helped further diminish any
of McReynolds' residual guilt feelings about his own same-
sex orientation.
It is difficult to overstate the enormous courage and
personal integrity required of Deming and McReynolds to be
openly queer at a time in America when homosexuality was
illegal, and homosexuals were condemned to barbaric tortures
to "cure" them by medicine and loathed as degenerate
outcasts by most of society. This was especially true in the
1950s at the height of the McCarthyite witch-hunts, when
government was purging both left-wingers and homosexuals
from its ranks and those of academia and the labor movement,
and when homosexuality was frequently identified with
Communism in the dominant rhetoric of the red-baiters.
In 1955, McReynolds was fired from his job on account of
being a "political security risk" and decided to move to New
York where, with help from Rustin, he obtained a series of
"movement" jobs (including a stint with the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, where he was the only white person in
its Harlem headquarters) before joining Rustin on the staff
of the War Resisters League, where he remained until his
retirement in 1999.
Deming, while essentially liberal, had remained rather
apolitical until the late '50s, when on a trip to India she
steeped herself in Gandhi's writings and became a convert to
his theory of nonviolence as the path to peace and change,
eventually emerging as a leader of A.J. Muste's Committee
for NonViolent Action. It was on her return to the US from
revolutionary Cuba that Deming began to put her body on the
line and got arrested in a never-ending series of non-
violent direct action struggles, both in the movement for
black civil rights - she spent several harrowing months in
jail in Albany, Georgia - and in the budding movement
against nuclear weapons and for peace and disarmament.
As she later wrote of these militant actions, they
"reverberated deeply a so-called `apolitical' struggle I'd
been waging on my own, in a lonely way up until then, as a
woman and a lesbian: the struggle to claim my life as my
Duberman writes, "Barbara would also come to believe that
nonviolent actions are by their nature androgynous. Two
impulses long identified as belonging to different genders -
the `masculine' impulse of self-assertion and the `feminine'
impulse of sympathy - come together in any individual,
regardless of gender, who adheres to nonviolence."
Duberman contrasts McReynolds' focus from Deming's, saying
he "was no less committed than Barbara to nonviolence, but
throughout most of the 1960s, until the rise of the feminist
movement, he emphasized a somewhat though not absolutely
different goal than she: his concern centered more on the
need to transform social institutions than individuals."
But the path of Deming and McReynolds increasingly crossed
in their activism, as they participated in many of the same
direct actions and causes. In the long struggle against the
Vietnam War, McReynolds' War Resisters League and the
Committee on NonViolent Action, in which Deming was a key
figure, both played crucial roles.
"A Silent Remnant" recounts the history of all this activism
with many details never before recorded. Deming left her
extensive papers at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute, and
McReynolds not only has retained expansive personal files
but is fortunately still around to add his personal
illuminations to Duberman's account of those years. The book
is, as usual with this distinguished historian's work,
carefully footnoted, and includes several dozen photos of
its principals and their activism.
There are chapters on the controversies over the US New Left
(including McReynolds' debates about it with right-wing
socialists like Irving Howe); on the burnout toll that
activism takes on those who choose its demanding path
(including McReynolds' struggle with alcoholism and Deming's
eventually failed attempt to preserve her love affair of two
decades with the artist and writer Mary Meigs); on the
impact of the feminist and gay movements; and on the
disagreements between the two sterling activists on such
questions as pornography and patriarchy.
There are also fresh insights into the history of the
Socialist Party and the debates and splits with which it has
been riven over the last half-century. McReynolds went on to
become the first openly gay presidential candidate as the
Socialists' standard-bearer twice, in 1980 and 2000.
Queers have always played an important role in all the
movements for social justice and social change, and the
lives of Deming and McReynolds are both eloquent testimony
to that fact, but it has largely remained hidden history to
heterosexuals on the left.
At the same time, as Duberman writes, "Radical gay people
engaged with a wide variety of issues besides `gay
liberation' (like the continuing struggle against racial
discrimination) do still exist in the gay community, but
they lack the influence they once wielded in the half-dozen
years after Stonewall." In "A Saving Remnant," Duberman has
given us an absorbing book, radiant with an emboldening and
unquenchable humanity, that has meaningful lessons both for
the left and for today's single-issue gay activists.
Duberman notes, "I'm certain that my empathy, both political
and personal, for both Barbara and David had a lot to do
with my being drawn to write about them in the first place
and may well have affected how I chose to narrate their
lives. Although unsympathetic critics- especially those with
a centrist or right-wing political bias- will perhaps accuse
me of whitewashing my subjects, I've nevertheless done my
best to recognize and record their foibles and
That Duberman has succeeded in doing so renders this dual
biography all the more meaningful and admirable.
[Doug Ireland is a longtime radical political journalist and
media critic, who considers himself a purveyor of what the
great I.F. Stone (at whose feet Doug sat as a lad) called
"investigative opinion." Even those with whom Doug has
profound disagreements respect him--like Christopher
Hitchens, who wrote (in the May, 2004 Vanity Fair) that Doug
"is one of the country's toughest and brightest radical
Doug got his start in journalism as a lad on the New York
Post (in the pre-Murdoch days, when the paper was still
owned by Dolly Schiff and was the most liberal daily in the
country), and as a young man worked for a wire service. He's
been a columnist for the Village Voice (serving for seven
years as its chief media critic), the New York Observer, New
York magazine, and the Parisian daily Liberation, among
other publications (and for the late, lamented SoHo Weekly
News). He lived for a decade in France, writing on European
politics and culture for a wide variety of publications on
both sides of the Atlantic, visits France whenever he can,
and often writes about French and European politics for a
Stateside audience. He also currently writes a column for
the French political/investigative weekly Bakchich. During
the Clinton presidency, for three years he wrote a
syndicated column called The Clinton Watch, which appeared
in alternative weeklies around the country. A longtime
contributor to The Nation magazine, he's a contributing
editor of POZ magazine and of In These Times, and the former
media critic for TomPaine.com. His articles have appeared in
many U.S. and French publications. Among those he writes for
regularly these days is the L.A. Weekly, where his articles
on politics frequently appear. He writes weekly on
international LGBT issues for Gay City News, the largest
lesbian and gay weekly in New York City.
Prior to consecrating himself fulltime to journalism in
1977, before he reached the age of 30 Doug had worked on the
staff of four presidential campaigns for liberal Democrats,
and successfully managed the campaigns that elected
progressives like Bella Abzug and Allard Lowenstein to
Congress and Paul O'Dwyer New York City Council President.
He managed Bella's campaign for U.S. Senate in New York,
which she tragically lost, by less than 10,000 votes out of
1 million cast, to Pat Moynihan. He also served stints in
New York City and New York State government, and on the
staff of the United Auto Workers and the N.J. Industrial
Union Council AFL-CIO.
Doug has been out of the closet as a gay man since 1973, and
has written extensively about gay political issues. His
partner of a dozen years, Herve Coeurgou, died of AIDS eight
years ago. Doug lives and writes in New York City, but
considers Paris his second home.]

Freidrich Froebel (April 21, 1782 – June 21, 1852) could rightly be called the father of holistic education as well as being the inventor of Kindergarten.The following is from Froebel and Education through Self-Activity, H. Courtright Bowen, M.A. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York 1897.
"...to the young child, as to primitive man, all knowledge does, as a matter of fact, come as one whole ...the subdivisions into subjects and departments is a very gradually evolved plan, for the most part wholly artificial and only adopted for the sake of convenience...the very nature of knowledge itself teaches the necessity of connectedness. Facts in isolation, and unrelated to one another do not form knowledge. Facts have to be compared, classified, organized, connected, before they become what we call knowledge...since education has largely to do with inducing the right acquirement of knowledge and the right use of knowledge, the task of the educator must largely consist in making clear and maintaining the connectedness of facts and things."
But for Froebel, the acquisition or assimilation of knowledge was only one part of the educational balance. The other part was "doing" or "giving out."
"...observation and discovery are not enough for our purpose--especially in the earlier years. Something must be added to them--something which renders more of the human being active, and which has to do with giving out or expression...this work, ...doing, will call into activity more of the mind; will require the co-operation of some of the physical powers; readily takes the form of giving outward definite expression to ideas and mental images; and it is easily united to observation and discovery, and is immensely improved by being so united. This making of new forms and combinations (rising from the merest imitation of models up to the most original inventions), this giving of definite expression to ideas and mental images, ...is the great Froebelian doctrine of creativeness. It is the pactical application of the priniciple of self activity, and together with (Froebel's) doctrines of continuity and connectedness, it forms the heart of Froebel's system."
I think you can probably understand from this, how an activity like woodworking in schools (or outside of school) can fit a system of education. Having the school resources to bring abstract knowledge to concrete exploration and expression are essential to the development of each child.
The photo above is of Froebel's grave monument which was built in the shape of his second "gift."

I had wanted to particapate in the Winter 10x10 but with the weather being -40F to -50f for a while, I'm pretty sure I was wearing more than 10 items at once and I really wasn't feeling like taking pictures. I know, I've gotten wimpy. Spring is such a great time for a challenge however and with blue skies and warm days only growing longer, I feel pretty energized. I am really looking forward to the challenge and I hope it will motivate me on a few items that I do not reach for often.
The 10x10 challenge is to pull 10 items from your closet, not including accessories and sometimes coats, and create 10 different outfits for 10 days. (Hosted by Un-Fancy and Style Bee!) I picked ten items with bohemian leanings and a few that blend into many different styles and hope to bring my boho style into it with accessories.
The Boots: Sandgrens' clog boot (c/o, Christmas 2015) and Rag and Bone's Newbury Boot (ebay) It is still very sloppy outside with all of the snow melting off and the mud piling up so it is not quite sandal weather for me. This clog boots were given to me back during the Christmas of 2015 by Sandgrens and I wore them quite a bit that winter and then as temps have warmer up, worn them a lot this spring. I really love these boots, they are easy to clean the mud off, they fit my wide feet comfortably and the leather is very tough and durable - perfect for Alaska's break up season! The Rag and Bone boots are one of my very favorite pairs as well, they are a very simple boot in terms of design but they work with almost everything. They too are comfortable for long days and I like having the contrast between a heavy boot and a boots with lighter visual weight in my 10x10.
The Bottoms: Vince Suede Leggings (ebay) and Justify Fake Suede Skirt I love a good pair of leather pants, as evidenced by past posts, and these suede leggings will be a good plain bottom but with lots of texture. The skirt was a buy from Fred Meyer's a while ago and while it is not the most ethical choice, I do believe in making the most of what you have on hand, which is why I have not upgraded it for a more ethically made one. (When it finally bites the dust I might, but I do not foresee that happening soon. This one is quite durable with good sticking and it's machine washable.)
The Tops: Isabel Marant Embroidered Blouse (ebay) and Helmut Lang Draped Tunic (ebay)This Isabel Marant blouse is one of my very favorite items, I've had it for a few years now and it is just so soft by this point! It's also been able to take a beating despite me regarding it as too precious the first few months I owned it - I now toss it into a laundry bag and have washed it in the washer without problems. The embroidery hasn't fallen out at all and yeah, I just really love it. I think will add a nice jolt of color and texture to the two bottoms. The Helmut Lang tunic is also one of my most worn items, it drapes so beautifully and I haven't found what it doesn't go with!
The Jackets: Helmut Lang Leather Cropped Jacket (consignment) and Old Navy Field Jacket (2013)I wanted two very different looks in my jackets and once again while the Old Navy jacket is not the most ethical, I have had it for a while now and it is perfect for my needs. My Helmut Lang jacket is also a favorite and is worn quite often. The cropped length is perfect for my height, 5'2, and I love how it works with maxis, short skirts and pants.
The Dresses: Madewell Silk Maxi (ebay) and Free People Embroidered DressThis maxi is another favorite item and again, an all star because of it's washable-ness! The color is described as plum and it's one of my favorite colors within my wardrobe. The Free People dress is one I do not wear often because of the odd trim along the sleeves that looks like a false waist. It throws me a bit when I try to style it so i thought this would be the perfect time to challenge myself on it!
The First: 1/10
10x10 Capsule Items: Helmut Lang Leather Jacket (consignment) / Free People New Romantics Dress / Rag and Bone "Newbury" Boots (ebay)Accessories Items: UO Hat(2013) / Leather Tooled Bag (thrifted 2013) / Fred Meyer Scarf (2014)
I wore the dress backwards this day, mostly because I love the print so much and because this is one of those weird dresses that fits either way. I wore my R&B boots along with my HL jacket for a sleek look and then threw on a belt and a tooled leather bag for some fun.

Chris O'Leary posted an inquiry regarding a perspective on websites and pop up ads. I haven't had a chance to read Jacob Nielson's article Chris referred to yet, but will over the weekend. I do, however, believe our adaptation to the web is an exploration of experiential possibilities and the potential of its integration into total customer experience management is under leveraged. We are still pretty much in the dark ages. What we seem to be doing is managing those experiences from a haphazard perspective limited by the parameters we've self imposed in our make and sell world.
For the most part, all that we have done is automate existing paradigms around our management of those experiences based on a publishing business model — we even refer to "pages," implying a natural sequence that is linear versus a dynamic system and we think of usability as product testing.
I do not blame advertisers for pop ups either. The problem with pop-ups results from not managing websites from a customer-back perspective. We still think of it as "make and sell" and not "sense and respond." There are some out there that seem to get it, but I think the vast majority still do not.

Hi Friends! Checking in and saying "hi" after taking the last two weeks off. Here's what I've been up to and what future plans I'm cooking up.
The kids and I spent a week visiting my parents in northern California. They still live in the house where I grew up and it's fun to see the kids running around the same yard that I use to play in. My parents were in a serious car accident last summer, and it's a miracle that they survived. My moms right arm was shattered and she is still healing. We met with her new surgeon and he is planning for an 8th surgery and I'm praying this will be the last and return function to her hand and arm.
This picture is from years ago, but one of my favorites of the kids with Grammy!
Last week we heading out to Lake Mead for an annual house boating trip, with my husbands side of the family. This is always a highlight, the kids make such wonderful memories with their cousins on this trip. This was our 7th summer and it's fun to look back at pictures! The week is filled with inner tubing, wake boarding, wake surfing, and water skiing. I grew up water skiing and this year my son decided to try, took him 3 tries to get up and then he nailed it! He did it for me and my love of skiing, it was so sweet. I said "I'm passing the torch" to which he responded, "I don't want this torch!" Ha!
The last 3 school year my kids were in a part time Home School program. They would go to school two days a week and did the rest of their school work from home. This year they are both going back to school full time. We're all excited and ready for this new chapter, but I am so thankful I had those three years to spend so much time with them.
Every year I take a picture of the kids by the front door, it really shows how fast they grow as how time just flies by.
With the kids go back to full time school, I have lots of projects and plans to share more consistently here on the blog!
I have vowed to wrap up the projects that I've started but haven't finished before moving on to anything new! This week both the kids rooms should be finished up. We started re-doing their rooms at the beginning of the summer and I am vowing to have them 100% done before school starts next week. I LOVE how they are turning out and will share both of the rooms very soon.
Next week the painters start on the exterior of the house!!! I posted all about the color choices HERE, and I'll share a before and after post when it's done. \
I also plan on adding some trim work on the wall that leads up the stairs. That will be a DIY, so I need to carve out some time for that project.
I also purchased THIS BED back in February for our master and it's still in the box! I've started to dream up a master bedroom refresh and I hope to tackle that in the fall.
I sure hope you've been having a wonderful summer! Thank you for popping in here and sharing this little corner of the internet with me!

My name is Graham Browning and I am a summer intern with Gardening for Good. I will be a senior Health Science and Environmental Studies major at Furman in the Fall. I have a passion for helping people help themselves by giving them the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions about their wellbeing. My plans after Furman are to take a year off, travel, and return to pursue a masters in Public Health. I am so excited to work with Gardening for Good and Greenville Forward for the next few months!
When I got word I received this internship with Gardening for Good, I was in Charleston for Spring Break. I literally started screaming and dancing on Market Street with my mother. And no, it wasn't just about the money (although that is nice, too). Instead, I was more excited about getting to live out what I love about the Greenville community. The improvements I have seen since I drove through the area as a child are inspiring, but we have so much more to do. I cannot wait to, perhaps, be a part of that change.
I grew up with a father who put every ounce of love into his cooking. Although he was only home on the weekends due to work, he made sure we sat down to a home-cooked meal together at every possible opportunity. My grandmother also grew her own vegetables on her land in rural Alabama and we spent the summer months picking, preparing, and pickling everything we could get our hands on. I was that 5-year-old kid who, when asked what her favorite food was by the pediatrician, responded "collard greens." After participating in the Slow Food Italy trip through Furman last May, I reconnected with my love for the land and the food that comes from that land. I realized why my father and my grandmother took so much pride in their cooking. It was their way of connecting the the Earth and those around them in a way, words simply cannot. I am honored to hopefully help others experience this feeling as well through Gardening for Good.
I will mainly be creating a resource database on the Gardening for Good website. Community members and volunteers will be able to find the answers to all their gardening questions in one place without having to waste time scouring the internet. The goal is to make Gardening for Good a central hub for all things gardening-related, both within the Greenville community and beyond. I am also helping launch the Greenville Tool LIbrary, which is set to officially open in August. We will be working together to configure the logistics of opening this tool renting facility and assess community needs. I am putting together information gathered from surveys that will be up on Gardening for Good's website before the end of the summer season. I will also be helping out in our Swamp Rabbit Teaching Garden and with various summer club-based gardens across Greenville County. Hopefully I will be leading teaching sessions by the end of the season! Keep an eye out on social media, too. I will be updating the Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages throughout the summer! Here are a few pictures from my Slow Food Italy trip in Sora, Italy.
As my first week comes to a close. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to serve the community that I have fallen in love with over the past few years. Greenville has given me so much during my time at Furman, and I cannot wait to do my part to continue the improvements I have already seen taking place.

text: Propaganda's album 'Crooked' is continuing to make waves as excellent music often does. Scrolling through Pop's twitter feed my eyes saw something that made me do a double take. Hip Hop heavyweight magazine XXL was promoting Propaganda's album!!!! The support went much deeper than a simple tweet of the album. There was a nice write up of the album as well as some of Prop's accolades such as some of the big tours he's been on and his feature on Lecrae's 'Church Clothes 3.' They also had 'Crooked' via Spotify at the bottom of the write up for anyone who wanted to listen! I have no idea how this happened. Maybe Prop has relationships with people at XXL ( he was on their Ante Up Podcast episode 24), but I'd like to think his music is so dope it had to be recognized ( charting number 3 on iTunes hip hop charts probably didn't hurt either). Nevertheless, Propaganda deserves every bit of success that he has gained thus far and prayerfully XXL's support will help solidify what many of us already know: Propaganda makes dope and thought provoking music!

It's been a busy year in the diocese: our first church plant in 50 years was consecrated, there were baptisms and confirmations and an ordination to the priesthood, we made history by embarking on a collaboration with the Diocese of Western New York, and so much more. To commemorate all this we've put together a little highlight video of diocesan events from throughout the year – we hope you enjoy it.
Have a blessed New Year, and we'll see what God has in store for us in 2019!

EU court saved transit of Russian gas through Ukraine – Poland
The European Supreme Court has revoked the EU decision which allows Russian energy company Gazprom to transport more gas using the OPAL gas pipeline connecting the Nord Stream pipeline with Germany. This is stated in the report drafted by the Polish company PGNiG.
The court concluded that "the decision in question was taken in violation of the principles of energy collective responsibility." The court upheld the arguments filed by Poland that the European Commission, when adopting such a decision, violated the principles of the EU, since it failed to study the impact of such a decision on Poland's energy security, PGNiG claimed.
It is noted that the decision of the European Commission allowed for the exclusive use of the German OPAL gas pipeline by Gazprom, and such permission was granted to Gazprom by the German energy regulator.
From 2013 Gazprom could use just 50% of OPAL's capacities; in 2016, it was allowed to operate 90% of them.
The decision by the European Commission allowed Gazprom to increase pumping through OPAL by 10.7 billion cubic meters a year. Ukraine and Poland opposed this because of the possible loss of revenues from the transit of Russian gas supplied to Europe.
The OPAL pipeline capacity is 36 billion cubic meters per year, and it connects Nord Stream with the gas transmission system of Central and Western Europe. OPAL is owned by WIGA Transport Beteiligungs, a joint venture between the German Wintershall Dea (50.02%) and Gazprom (49.98%).
Fine imposed on Roche Ukraine by AMCU annulled
The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine accused Roche Ukraine LLC, importer of medicines and foreign manufacturer of anticompetitive concerted practice and imposed a fine of UAH 9.1 million on it. This was due to public procurement held in 2012–2016, in which the official distributors of Roche Ukraine took part. The AMCU concluded that because of the company's bonus system, Ukrainian distributors could sell medicines to public healthcare institutions at an inflated price without lowering the sale price by the amount of the bonus. In February 2019 a court of first instance upheld the decision of the AMCU. The company then appealed.
The Economic Court of Appeal found that the contractual conditions contained no prohibitions, instructions or recommendations related to the use of the bonus and to the competitive behavior of the parties. Therefore, the distributor adopted its decision on subsequent resale and resale prices on its own accord, and the distributors' competitive behavior was not limited by the agreement concluded with the supplier.
A reminder that Roche Ukraine is a subsidiary of Swiss F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.
Supreme Court altered position and forbade State Enforcement Service to enforce sale of Prominvestbank
On 16 September the Supreme Court of Ukraine upheld the petition filed by the Russian state-owned Vnesheconombank (owner of Prominvestbank, Ukraine) and suspended the decision of the Kyiv Court of Appeal, which allowed the sale of the Ukrainian subsidiary of the Russian state-owned bank at the request of Ihor Kolomoysky.
Therefore, the Supreme Court prohibited the sale of 99.77% of Prominvestbank shares to be conducted on the PFTS Stock Exchange. This sale was intended to meet the requirements of companies owned by Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoysky, who wished to receive compensation for assets he lost following the annexation of Crimea by Russia through the sale of the Russian-owned bank.
The auction to sell the bank shares was scheduled for September 20, 2019. It was the second auction, so the bid price was reduced by 25%.
Privatbank subsidiary fined EUR 1 million in Latvia
The Latvian financial market regulatory authority imposed a fine on PrivatBank in the amount of EUR 1.02 million for violating the requirements of local legislation on money laundering.
The regulator found a number of violations during the bank audit that revealed serious deficiencies in the control system of AS PrivatBank related to customer transactions.
In particular, FCMC found that in some cases the bank did not conduct sufficient verification of the origin of funds in customers' accounts and did not terminate cooperation with them on time.
Moreover, the subsidiary of PrivatBank was obliged to submit a plan of measures to the regulatory authority that would eliminate the violations found to have caused the fine to be imposed. The bank was also obliged to carry out independent verification of the internal control system.
Triolan provider fined UAH 3.7 billion
The Kyiv District Administrative Court refused to uphold a claim filed by Triolan. Money to the State Fiscal Service of Kyiv to cancel the imposition of a fine in the amount of UAH 3.7 billion for violating the provisions on the conducting cash transactions in the Ukrainian hryvnia.
The text of the decree states that the subsidiary of the Internet service provider Triolan carried out the transfer of monetary funds in national currency through software and technical self-service devices without any registers of settlement transactions.
As a result of the tax audit conducted in March 2019, it was found that for the period from 1 January 2016 to 22 February 2019, the total amount of cash receipt transactions (as recorded in the cash register) came to UAH 738.6 million.
According to the Law On Use of Payment Transactions Registers in the Sphere of Trade, Public Catering and Services, when providing relevant financial services the use of cash registers is obligatory, which means Triolan.Money violated the law.
In its turn, the company emphasized that the relevant legislation sets no requirements for the use of cash registers when carrying out the activities related to the transfer of monetary funds. However, the court did not take this argument into consideration.

Boba has become a fast-growing trend in the last few years, but it originated from Taiwan in the 1980s. Liu Han Chie, Chun Shui Tang teahouse employee, experimented with milk teas, candied yams, fruits, and tapioca before finally mastering the product. Once it became a hit in Taiwan it became a huge hit in surrounding … Continue reading What IS Boba Tea?
