Thinking vs. Feeling
One of my favorite CP's sent me a critique with several notes that said, "Don't think so much. Feel." Now, for me, thinking is feeling, so it took me a moment to figure out what she meant. I realized my character was thinking through something that they should be emotionally reacting to, and she (my crit partner) was quite right.
Are you a thinker or a feeler?
I'm heavy on the thinker side, although I think emotional arcs are the structure that holds up any great story. Our main character can lose a brother, go looking for him, find him in held hostage in warehouse, shoot the bad guys, and save the day ... but if we don't know what he's thinking or feeling throughout that journey, the story is just going through the motions.
The whole point of the story is human recovery and reconciliation. -Peter Dunne, Emotional Structure
You may think, wait, my story isn't about human recovery and reconciliation. If you don't think it should be, I suggest you look at the stories you love - most likely, they have an emotional core that beats out fears, losses, recovery, and new life. It may be subtly woven in, a subtext that the characters never explicitly think about or feel, but it's there.
It should be in your story too, if you want to have a lasting impact on your readers.
Portraying that emotion can be done in a myriad of ways: through action (forgiveness = a gentle touch), through thoughts (anxiety = Something was wrong with this entire situation), through physical reactions (anger = The heat in my face threatened to set my hair on fire). Angela Ackerman's Emotional Thesaurus can count the ways.
But a disjointed series of emotional reactions is no more helpful than a series of mechanical plot steps. They have to be bound together by the emotional journey of a single main character (or two co-protagonists).
Although my character may have been straying into the cerebral-zone with her rationalizations, I know that her emotional arc is strong, because I've consciously laid it out. For my current WiP, where I have two co-protagonists, the first thing I sketched out was their respective emotional arcs. Even the skeleton of the plot must be built on this understructure of the heart.
When I critique, I find myself giving a lot of thought to the emotional arcs of a story.
I know, irony.
Do your characters have a strong emotional arc that pulls them through the story?

I hope so but it doesn't always come across in the first or second draft. I have to work on bringing them out.ReplyDelete
Sometimes we get so caught up in 'getting the story out', we neglect how a character would truly react on the inside. That's one reason to be thankful for revisions. lolReplyDelete
@Laura I think that's something you can easily fix on subsequent drafts (I'm the same way), as long as you have the core underlying structure.ReplyDelete
@Sheri Exactly! :)
I'm a thinker too, but I use my thinking skills to try to translate what the character is feeling onto the page. And when I don't succeed, my CP plays shrink and asks me how the character is feeling. :DReplyDelete
SO very important!! You can write about anything from aliens to vampires but the key is having a human core to the characters. A human struggle - and that involves emotion. :DReplyDelete
@Stina CP as shrink - love it!ReplyDelete
@LisaGG Even SF has that human element - although some people might disagree! :)
ohman. i feel a little silly, but i'm way far on the feeling side, and i have to try to ground the story more on revisions. i hate to say i'm not a thinker! that sounds awful! :DReplyDelete
@aspiring Be proud to feel! My mom the psychologist chuckles at all my intellectualization of emotion. :)ReplyDelete
THis is something I have to go back and check for later to. And thankfully, CPs who can force us to dig deeper, tend to pick these areas out too.ReplyDelete
I try ... I really try to have good emotional responses. With that said, sometimes I get so caught up on moving forward that I just plug in generic stuff that my critter nails me on later. LoL. I need to work on this.ReplyDelete
Oh, yes, I have had to deal with this issue too. I've agonized over that problem for hours!ReplyDelete
I tend to be an overthinker and therefore I need to work hard to reign in the reactions of my MC's!ReplyDelete
I certainly hope so! It's there in my head. It remains to be seen how well I laid it out on paper.ReplyDelete
@PK My CP's do a great job of this as well!ReplyDelete
@Justine LOL That's what revisions are for, yeah?
@Joanne It's a tough one - especially when your protagonist is going through h*ck!
@Lindsay There is definitely the other extreme as well! :)
@Matthew And that's always the trick, isn't it? Revisions, for me, are often a beating up of words to make them do what I want. :)
Like you, I usually have to go back and beef up the "feeling" side of things. :-)ReplyDelete
I guess I'm more "clueless" than anything else! LOLReplyDelete
I'm definitely a thinker! In fact, I often have to be careful when talking to my friends who are feelers - sometimes their emotions just don't make any sense! =) Also a bad habit of mine when it comes to characters.ReplyDelete
Like Laura said above, it take a lot of conscious effort on my part to bring out the emotional arc. I have learned to plan the emotional arc into the structure. But I just discovered when I sat down to write my first query letter (even though I'm a long ways off from being ready to submit) - the query letter helped me really clarify a lot with the character's driving forces. I was told it would do that, just as the logline helped and the 3 act structure helped - each in different ways. So cool!ReplyDelete
"Do your characters have a strong emotional arc that pulls them through the story?"ReplyDelete
They better...
@Shannon Fortunately, that's not too hard to do!ReplyDelete
@Darby LOL!
@Sierra Being an engineer, I totally know what you mean.
@Margo I like all those techniques! Next up for my WiP, before I start drafting, is to write the query.
@Bryan Indeed.
Absolutely—we are all motivated by our emotions. Even our personal goals, like the goals of a protagonist, stem from how we feel.ReplyDelete
It's so good that you think about the emotional arc of your characters—I do the same. It gives the novel an authenticity that carries the reader through the journey at the same time.
Fantastic blog + blog post!
Dawn <3
I think so! But you're right, this is very much something to keep in mind. And I lurv that emotional thesaurus. I've seen that before. Thanks, Dr. Q~ :DReplyDelete
I think I get emotionally involved with my characters, so I hope the emotion shows through in my writing... Hmmmm, I'll be more conscious of it though after this post. Thanks, Sue. :)ReplyDelete
@Dawn Thanks for stopping by! :)ReplyDelete
@LTM You are welcome, sweets! And I'm looking forward to hearing your story tomorrow! :)
@Sharon That's a great way to think of it! Getting inside your character's heads...
hi miss susan! i got some good emotions but i could do better. i been pretty bad bout telling and not showing and when i show i could have emotions that i dont get when i just tell. more good stuff to learn.ReplyDelete
...hugs from lenny
I think sometimes we think the reader knows what we know and hurry on, not realizing we haven't given a scene it's emotional due. It's often in rewrite that I add layers of depth, and many times it's because a crit partner points out the lack. Great post, Susan.ReplyDelete
I'm definitely a thinker. Since I usually have boy protags, I always worry that too much emotion will make the story too "girly" or slow down the action. One of my cps always encourages me to add more emotional reaction to my writing :)ReplyDelete
@Lenny My son has the same issues, and I think it's tough for young writers. You're still figuring out how YOU feel about the world, and trying to put that on paper is doubly hard. But I know you can do it - and I think you have a lot of wonderful things to share with the world, so I'm glad you're keeping at it! :)ReplyDelete
@Tricia This is a great point - that WE feel so much of it, living it with our characters, that we forget to put that on the page sometimes.
@Sherrie OH! I'm going to have to write a post about this - emotions from the boy-perspective vs. girl-perspective. And I do think it's different, but still present. I think Holly Black did a fantastic job with emotional showing from a boy perspective in White Cat (note to self: you need to get Red Glove!!).
This is something I don't always catch in the first draft, but I'm getting better at infusing emotion and visceral responses throughout my stories. I recently attended a conference where writers were encouraged to go beyond the "smile, grin, smirk..." and dig deeper.ReplyDelete
For example, I have a futuristic YA dystopia where my MC smiles as she gazes at a garden. I changed it to something like, "Such vibrant colors were rare, which made them all the more pleasing."
Fab post, as usual. And yes, emotion is so important. If I don't feel with a character I don't care about them. Or hate them if their the baddie. :)ReplyDelete
@Natasha I like your example - it's like using the character's observations (filter as LisaGG would say) to give insight into the character, not just the flowers. Nice!ReplyDelete
@Leisha Ah yes, the bad guys! Portraying their emotions is tricksy too.
What a great idea to consciously lay out the emotional arc of the story. I haven't tried that before - I'll have to give it a go!ReplyDelete
@Susan You might find my post about structure helpful - but I think I might need to write an emotional arc post too! Thanks for stopping by!ReplyDelete
I think I am a thinker in the initial draft, then I go it on the second run through and sink into the story feelings. Er, I hope that's what I do, lol. Great post! Need to check out the one on structure as well. Thanks!ReplyDelete
@Deb I do something similar, sketching out the feelings as I draft, then filling in the depth later on. Thanks for stopping by! :)ReplyDelete

Andrew Christian's Dry & Naked Show-It Sports Thong has a bit more material below the waistband and in the back than a typical thong. A great silhouette for anyone who enjoys the sexy no show effect of a thong. A contrasting pouch and anti-muffin top waistband makes this a thong that you just shouldn't pass up.

Saturday, November 06, 2010 - True To SizeThis is the first pair of the "Show It" design that I bought, so it was interesting the first time I put them on, but I definitely liked them more and more as the day progressed. Plus the fabric works as advertised. Because of this pair, I recently bought a couple more different pairs with the same design because of these.

To me, there's no better source for entrepreneurial advice than straight from the entrepreneur. And as an entrepreneur myself, I know there's no one an entrepreneur is more likely to take advice from than a fellow entrepreneur. And herein lies the core value of a new entrepreneurship interview series launched today by the Khan Academy in partnership with the Kauffman Foundation.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
Hi, I'm Nathan Kurtz, and I'm really excited to join the Entrepreneurship team this month at the Kauffman Foundation. There are a few questions I love asking new people I meet. It allows me to understand a little bit about who she/he is as a person. By way of introduction, here are a couple of those questions, with my answers.
At the Kauffman Foundation, we recently announced a grant to a group that is trying to map and track where startups are around the world. The project--Startup Genome--is working "to build the most complete and accurate database of the world's startup communities, present it in useful, beautiful ways and provide tools and reports that community builders can use to gain insight into what's happening in their community. And make better decisions about how to grow it."
In the month of September, we remember the birthday of our founder Ewing Marion Kauffman. From humble beginnings, Mr. Kauffman knew the fruits of hard work could change a person's journey through life. He believed the combination of an entrepreneurial ambition and an unconquerable determination could affect the economic welfare of a country - one entrepreneur at a time.
"CODE2040 is a unique and dynamic program that creates access, awareness and opportunities for top minority engineering students to ensure their participation and leadership in the innovation economy." CODE2040 places students in internships with top tech companies and provides them with mentorship, leadership training, and network development.
Strategic words are out. Personal search is in. This week, the Kauffman Foundation held a seminar on "Online Branding for Startups" with help from Mark Traphagen of Virante, a SEO marketing firm out of Durham, N.C. I learned a number of things in the hours we discussed branding with entrepreneurs and Kauffman associates, but here are my top four takeaways.
Today is a very exciting day for the 1 Million Cups program. We are three quarters of the way to our goal of twenty U.S. cities by then end of 2013. But more importantly, the debut launch of 1MC Orlando and San Diego demonstrates the power of collaboration at the grassroots level.
Thriving entrepreneurial hot spots do not just pop up overnight. It takes more than a few growing startups to turn a city intro a hub of entrepreneurial activity. This thought is confirmed by a new Kauffman Foundation white paper entitled "Path-Dependent Startup Hubs - Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density".

A recent study scores a win for serious naughtiness.
Practitioners of sexual sadism and masochism have been proven to be psychologically healthier than their vanilla counterparts.
According to the study published in the prestigious Journal of Sexual Medicine, BDSM practitioners were "less neurotic, more extroverted, more open to new experiences, more conscientious, less rejection sensitive, had higher subjective well-being, yet were less agreeable."
BDSM practitioners "either did not differ from the general population and if they differed, they always differed in the more favorable direction," concludes Andreas Wismeijer, coauthor of "Psychological Characteristics of BDSM Practitioners", published in the prestigious Journal of Sexual Medicine, reports Live Science.
Of course, it could be that kinky-ness is not what makes these "practitioners" healthy. It could be that healthy people are more likely to make bold lifestyle choices and go against the grain of society. Therefore, these more independent folks showed well during this particular study.
At any rate, such results raise good questions about what it is to be a psychologically healthy adult. If you were truly in charge of your own life – as opposed to feeling like you must conform to external expectations – would you do anything differently?
Are you living a life of quiet desperation, fueled by your emotional slavery to what everyone else wants for you?
If so, you are practicing your own style of bondage. I know this much, and I am not even a BDSM-er.

Aqueduct Race Track
Aqueduct race track opened on September 27, 1894 in Queens, New York. The original track was torn down in 1956 and the new facility opened in 1959. In 1975, the inner track was constructed to facilitate winter racing. Aqueduct race track is affectionately called "The Big A" by denizens of the horse racing industry and is widely acknowledged to be among the most important tracks in North America.
Throughout its history, Aqueduct has hosted countless stakes races. Among the bigger ones were the New York Stallion Stakes, Aqueduct Handicap, Stymie Handicap, Broadway Handicap and The Count Fleet.

Aqueduct Race Track History
The original Aqueduct race track opened in late September 1894. It was organized as the Queens County Jockey Club by Albany lobbyist Thomas Reilly, Harlem deputy fire department chief Francis Reilly and Brooklyn hotel owner Robert Tucker. They leased land on the site of the present day Aqueduct from the family of the original Dutch settlers.
After Aqueduct race track was finally recognized by The Jockey Club in 1895, track improvements were made. The caliber of racing also improved along with these. Many of the notable stakes races of today such as the Carter Handicap and the Dwyer Stakes, had their origins in this track. The presidency of Phillip Dwyer from 1905 to 1917 saw Aqueduct's emergence as a major racing center. He acquired more land, enlarged the size of the track and completely rebuilt the stands.
In 1955, the old track was torn down and in its place a state-of-the art facility was built. The new mega-facility, costing $33 million, opened in the fall of 1959. Upon its opening for a 66-day meet, all records were broken. The track was referred to as New Aqueduct to distinguish it from the old track.
Big races have been held on the track since then, a testament to Aqueduct's growing stature in the industry. In 1985, Aqueduct race track was host to the prestigious Breeders Cup.

Anger over Chief Keef's Tweet mocking rival's murder explodes online
By KIM JANSSEN AND MARK KONKOL Staff Reporters September 6, 2012 9:11PM
Chief Keef at Pitchfork 2012. | Andrea Bauer
Updated: October 9, 2012 2:55PM
Two days after he took to Twitter to mock the murder of a rival teenage gangster rapper, Chief Keef Thursday faced a massive backlash of online outrage.
Thousands of commenters — many sickened by the gang culture helping to drive Chicago's spike in shootings and murders — used Twitter and Facebook to spell out their disgust at the violent culture Keef's raps represent.
The backlash came in a flurry — a Tweet every five seconds for most of Thursday.
"I'm deleting Chief Keef from my iTunes & will never support his career," Tweeted @AwedByClaud. "You don't laugh at someone's deth! You look guilty as hell dumbass!"
Other Tweeters called for Interscope Records, the label of rappers Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and Eminem, to drop Chief Keef from its lineup of artists.
Interscope bosses are waiting to see if police determine Chief Keef sent the offending Tweet, or if he was involved in the gang conflict leading to the murder before deciding the rapper's future, a source close to the label told the Chicago Sun-Times.
"If the reported behavior is accurate, that is not something the label will tolerate and they will take appropriate action," the source said. "There are a lot of unanswered questions."
Chicago-based music website Pitchfork.com didn't wait to take action. Its editor apologized for a video interview with Chief Keef conducted in a gun range and removed it from the website.
'Trivializing gun violence'
"Pitchfork's roots are in Chicago and many of our employees and several contributors live in the city. The horror of the gun violence that has plagued our hometown is something we all take very seriously," Pitchfork Editor in Chief Mark Richardson said in a statement. "Many people have pointed out that this episode could be seen as trivializing gun violence, and we feel they have a good point."
The manager for Chief Keef — whose real name is Keith Cozart, 17 — didn't return calls seeking comment.
The Twitter controversy that now threatens Chief Keef's rap career — and again places Chicago's spike in shootings in the national spotlight — began just hours after the murder of Joseph "Lil JoJo" Coleman, a South Side rap rival.
Coleman was shot dead Tuesday night near 69th and Princeton, about a block from where Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson grew up and where her family was slain in 2008.
Soon after Coleman died, Chief Keef's Twitter account carried a message saying, "Its Sad Cuz Dat N----- Jojo Wanted to Be Jus Like Us #LMAO." LMAO stands for "laughing my ass off."
While Chief Keef took a beating online Thursday, Chicago police continued to investigate possible connections between social media posts by a group of feuding gangster rappers, an ongoing Englewood gang conflict and Coleman's murder.
Tweeted his location
One of Coleman's own Tweets might have helped his killers track his whereabouts. The rapper, who grew up nearby, Tweeted his location just hours before he was shot dead.
"Im on #069 Im Out Here," he Tweeted, then gave a cellphone number to another Twitter user who expressed doubts that Coleman had traveled to Englewood from his home in Altgeld Gardens.
He was riding on the back of a pal's bike around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when a gunman fired six or seven shots, fatally striking him in the back.
With rumors of a bounty on Coleman's head circulating on the street, it seemed the inevitable outcome of an escalating war of words and teenage bravado, witnesses and family said.
Coleman had been taunting rap associates of Chief Keef's — Lil Durk and Lil Reese — for months in Youtube "diss" raps and videos that also targeted the Black Disciples street gang.
Police sources say they've been monitoring an ongoing feud between the Lamron faction of the Black Disciples and Brick Squad faction of the Gangster Disciples for months.
Many of Chief Keef's Tweets include a hashtag notation "#300" — a known reference to the Black Disciples, and police are looking into his possible ties to the gang.
The rapper spent time under house arrest at his grandmother's home after he allegedly pointed a gun at a police officer in the Gresham District late last year, police said.
Coleman, too, was arrested last year on a gun charge — one he was due to stand trial for in just two weeks. He allegedly dropped a .45 caliber handgun from the belt of his baggy pants while running away from a police raid of a party attended by members of the Gangster Disciples, court records show.
Police on the street Thursday night were still looking for Coleman's killer.
Englewood District officers also were using information from a gang audit database — part of police Supt. Garry McCarthy's data-based violence reduction strategy — to identify known criminals and their associates connected to the shooting in attempt to prevent retaliatory shootings.
No one was in custody late Thursday.

Gender variance
|Part of a series on
|Transgender topics
|Legal issues
|Transgender portal
Gender variance, or gender nonconformity, is behaviour or gender expression that does not match gender norms of male and female. People who exhibit gender variance may be called gender variant, gender non-conforming, or gender atypical.[1]
The terms gender variance and gender variant are used by scholars of psychology[2][3] and psychiatry,[4] anthropology,[5] and gender studies, as well as advocacy groups of gender variant people themselves.[6] The term gender-variant is deliberately broad, encompassing such specific terms as transsexual, butch, femme, queen, sissy, travesti, hijra, or tomboy.
The word transgender is sometimes used interchangeably with gender-variant,[7] but usually has a narrower meaning and somewhat different connotations, including a non-identification with the gender assigned at birth. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Reference Guide defines transgender as an "umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the sex they were assigned at birth."[8] Not all gender variant people identify as transgender, and not all transgender people identify as gender variant—many identify simply as men or women.
Gender identity refers to one's internal sense of being male, female, both, or neither. Gender expression is the external manifestation of one's gender identity, usually through "masculine," "feminine," or gender variant presentation and/or behavior.[8]
Gopi Shankar (Gender activist) and a student of The American College in Madurai penned the world first book on Gender-Variants in Tamil he used the term gendervariants for genderqueer.[9][10]
Childhood gender variance[edit]
Multiple studies have suggested a correlation between children who express gender non-conformity and their eventually coming out as gay, bisexual, or transgender.[11][12] In some studies, a majority of those who identify as gay or lesbian self-report gender non-conformity as children.[11][12] However, the accuracy of these studies have been questioned, especially within the academic community.[13] The therapeutic community is currently divided on the proper response to childhood gender non-conformity. One study suggested that childhood gender non-conformity is heritable.[11] Although it is heavily associated with homosexuality, gender nonconformity is more likely to predict childhood abuse. A recent study illustrated that heterosexuals and homosexuals alike who do not express their gender roles according to society are more likely to experience abuse physically, sexually, and psychologically.[14]
Studies have also been conducted about adults' attitudes towards nonconforming children. There are reportedly no significant generalized effects (with the exception of few outliers) on attitudes towards children who vary in gender traits, interests, and behavior.[15]
Children who are gender variant may struggle to conform later in life. They may try to lead a "normal" life by getting involved in heterosexual relationships or marriage to help subdue their core gender identity. As children get older and are not treated for the "mismatch" from mind and bodily appearance, this leads to discomfort, and negative self-image and eventually may lead to depression, or suicide, or self-doubt.[16] If a child is not conforming at a very young age, it is important to provide family support for positive impact to family and the child.[17] Children who do not conform prior to age 11 tend to have an increased risk for depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation as a young adult.[18]
Roberts et al. (2013) found in their study that participants ages 23 to 30 where 26% of nonconforming experience some sort of depressive symptoms versus 18% in conforming.[18] There is no curative treatment for gender non conformity, however behavioral therapy has been reported to be successful, such as recognition and open discussions, or counseling sessions.[19] In fact, treatment for gender identity disorders such as gender variance have been a topic of controversy for three decades.[20] In the works of Hill, Carfagnini and Willoughby (2007), Bryant (2004), "suggests that treatment protocols for these children and adolescents, especially those based on converting the child back to a stereotypically gendered youth, make matters worse, causing them to internalize their distress." In other words, treatment for GID in children and adolescents may have negative consequences.[20] Studies suggest that treatment should focus more on helping children and adolescents feel comfortable in living with GID. There is a feeling of distress that overwhelms a child or adolescent with GID that gets expressed through gender.[20] Hill et al. (2007) states, "if these youth are distressed by having a condition deemed by society as unwanted, is this evidence of a disorder?". Bartlett and colleagues (2000) note that the problem determining distress is aggravated in GID cases because usually it is not clear whether distress in the child is due to gender variance or secondary effects (e.g., due to ostracization or stigmatization).[20] Hill et al. (2007) suggests, "a less controversial approach, respectful of increasing gender freedom in our culture and sympathetic to a child's struggle with gender, would be more humane."[20]
Social status for men vs. women[edit]
Gender nonconformity among males is usually more sensitively and violently policed than is nonconformity in females. Many theorists believe this is because femaleness is inherently devalued in a patriarchal society, therefore a male seeking to be more feminine is actively reducing his social status, yet a woman acting in a masculine way is tolerated and encouraged because her social status will be enhanced by the addition of the valuable attributes of maleness (e.g. physical power, assertiveness, ambition). The deep social pressure for those traditionally viewed as "male" to be masculine can be seen in the especially high levels of violence against transgender women.[21]
Atypical gender roles[edit]
An atypical gender role is a gender role comprising gender-typed behaviours not typically associated with a cultural norm. Gender role stereotypes are the socially determined model which contains the cultural beliefs about what the gender roles should be. It is what a society expects men and women to think, look like, and behave. Gender role stereotypes are often based on gender norms.
Examples of some atypical gender roles:
- Househusbands: men who stay at home and take care of the house and children while their partner goes to work. According to Sam Roberts of the New York Times, in 1970 four percent of American men earned less than their wives; in 2007 this had risen to 42%
- Metrosexual: a man of any sexual orientation who has interest in style and fashion and dresses well.
- Androgynous people: identifying as neither male nor female; OR presenting a gender either mixed or neutral
- Crossdresser: a person who dresses in the clothing and approximating the appearance of members of the other sex, in public or solely in private. Their gender identity, however, is not necessarily congruent with the gender they are dressing as.
- Hijra: A neutered male person whose gender identity is neither masculine nor feminine, whose gender role includes special clothing that identifies them as a hijra, and whose gender role includes a special place in society and special occupations.
- Khanith: The gynecomimetic partner in a heterogender homosexual relationship, who may retain his public status as a man, despite his departure in dress and behavior from a socio-normal male role. The clothing of these individuals must be intermediate between that of a male and a female. His social role includes the freedom to associate with women in the entire range of their social interactions, including singing with them at a wedding[citation needed].
Association with sexual orientation[edit]
Behaviors such as expression of emotion, an inclination toward caring for and nurturing others, an interest in cooking or other domestic chores, self-grooming, and a desire to care for children are all aspects of male gender non-conformity.[11][12][13] Men who exhibit such tendencies are often stereotyped as gay. One study found a high incidence of gay males self-reporting gender-atypical behaviors in childhood, such as having little interest in athletics and rather playing with dolls.[22] The same study found that mothers of gay males recalled such atypical behavior in their sons with greater frequency than mothers of heterosexual males.[22] But while many gay and/or bisexual men exhibit traditionally feminine characteristics, many of them do not, and not all feminine men are necessarily gay or bisexual.
For women, adult gender non-conformity is often associated with lesbianism due to the limited identities women are faced with at adulthood.[11][12][13] Notions of heterosexual womanhood often require a rejection of physically demanding activities, social submission to a male figure (husband or boyfriend), an interest in reproduction and homemaking, and an interest in making oneself look more attractive with appropriate clothing, make-up, hair styles and body shape. A rejection of any of these factors may lead to a woman being called a lesbian regardless of her actual sexual orientation. Therefore, attracting a male romantic or sexual partner can be a strong factor for an adult woman to suppress or reject her own desire to be gender variant. Lesbian and bisexual women, being less concerned with attracting men, may find it easier to reject traditional ideals of womanhood because social punishment for such transgression is not effective, or at least no more effective than the consequences of being openly gay or bisexual in a heteronormative society (which they already experience). This may help account for high levels of gender nonconformity self-reported by lesbians.[11][12][13]
Among adults, the wearing of women's clothing by men is often socially stigmatized and fetishised, or viewed as sexually abnormal. Yet, cross dressing may simply be a form of gender expression and is not necessarily related to erotic activity. It is also not indicative of sexual orientation.[23] Other gender nonconforming males prefer to simply modify and stylise men's clothing as an expression of their interest in appearance and fashion.

RELEASED: April 28, 2008
|Peter Chresanthakes, lecturer of accounting and finance at American College of Thessaloniki in Greece, speaks to a UW-Eau Claire finance class April 29. Chresanthakes visited campus April 28-May 2 as part of UW-Eau Claire's Partnerships in International Education initiative, which is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Title VIB Business and International program.

EAU CLAIRE — Senior Eric Becker will take a big step toward making his dream career a reality when he begins an internship this summer with H&T International Transportation Ltd. in Guangzhou, China.
"I am interested in doing business at a global level when I graduate, but I've been told by many people that working for a company in a foreign country is hard to do right out of college," said Becker, a University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire management major from North Mankato, Minn. "This internship is an unbelievable opportunity. I am excited to explore my opportunities in China; I hope it leads to a career in international business."
Becker's internship is possible because of a year-old initiative that's goal is to globalize the content of the curriculum within the College of Business.
"I'm thrilled with the way things have worked out," said Dr. Rama Yelkur, project director and author of the "Partnerships in International Education" program. "Everything is falling into place. We've created international faculty exchanges, established international internships and have begun to support area businesses as they compete in a global economy."
Business faculty and students will experience greater success if they have an understanding of and appreciation for how the United States fits into the global economy, said Yelkur, international business programs coordinator for the College of Business. PIE helps create awareness for faculty and students by providing them with opportunities to experience the education systems, business operations and cultures of other countries, she said.
This year, four UW-Eau Claire faculty have taught at universities and made contacts with businesses in Ireland and Greece through the program, and two professors from universities in those countries will visit campus this spring, Yelkur said, noting she also traveled to China to establish contacts with businesses there.
It benefits everyone if faculty spend time abroad learning about different economies and business practices, as well as making contacts with professors and businesses in those regions, said Dr. Matt Germonprez, an assistant professor of information systems who spent two weeks this spring in Limerick, Ireland, as part of the program.
"My time in Ireland was life changing," said Germonprez. "I've never spent that much time in another country before. I've traveled a lot but it's always been conference related so my interactions were limited. This was different. It was amazing to have the time and means to make contacts on the campus and in the businesses."
Germonprez said he's already incorporated information gathered in Ireland into his classes. And the connections he made with businesses there will likely result in ongoing research, he said.
"I fully expect I'll go back to Ireland within the year and probably regularly in future years," Germonprez said. "I see a lot of opportunities for me to contribute to their campus. And I'm very excited about research possibilities that involve businesses there."
LaNette Flunker, a senior lecturer in management and marketing who spent two weeks in Greece through the PIE program, said she also has altered her curriculum and teaching as a result of her experience.
"I can think of several times when I could relate to similarities or differences to our way of doing business or education that I've discussed in class," said Flunker. "This experience has given me more specifics to include in my classes."
The program will now bring faculty from partner universities in Greece and Ireland to UW-Eau Claire, Yelkur said. Two professors from those institutions will be on campus this spring, meeting with faculty, students and business leaders in the community, she said.
Peter Chresanthakes, a lecturer of accounting and finance at the American College of Thessaloniki in Greece, will be on campus April 28-May 2. Fergal McGrath, professor of information & knowledge management at the University of Limerick in Ireland, will be here May 14-25.
Seeing faculty make international travel a priority and interacting with visiting faculty here may inspire students to be more globally aware, Germonprez said.
"If students see us excited and thinking more globally because we've spent time in other places, that can be powerful," Germonprez said. "They may think differently about their own opportunities. In the College of Business, everything we do has an international component. And there is no better way to better understand it than to go some place to experience it. If our students see us doing this, it may seem more doable to them."
Faculty making connections in other countries also can create opportunities for students that otherwise would not exist, Yelkur said. For example, she shared Becker's resume with businesses during her China trip, which led to his internship, she said, noting PIE will pay Becker's airfare and a stipend.
PIE also supports students who are interested in domestic internships with an international component, Yelkur said. For example, senior Adri Neitzke, a management major from Menomonee Falls, will intern with Minnesota Wire and Cable to help with its international endeavors, she said. The program will pay Neitzke a stipend during her internship.
The "Partnerships in International Education" program also includes a component that supports businesses in northern Wisconsin and surrounding regions, Yelkur said.
In fall of 2007, the program helped to establish the Northern Wisconsin International Trade Association to assist and mentor area businesses in their international endeavors through consulting, speaker events, online resources and a newsletter on global issues. The umbrella organization — housed on campus — is a partnership among the College of Business, the Wisconsin Department of Commerce Division of Investment and Export, the university's Center for International Education and the student organization-AIESEC.
"Businesses are benefiting from the support they're receiving through the NWITA partnership," Yelkur said. "And they'll benefit in the future by hiring interns and graduates who have an understanding of international issues and an appreciation for new opportunities found in the global economy."
The "Partnerships in International Education" program, which will run through June 2009, is funded by a $174,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Title VIB Business and International program.
For more information about the program or opportunities to meet with the visiting faculty from Greece and Ireland during their visits, contact Dr. Rama Yelkur at 715-836-4674 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The taproot of PUENTE'S Success is its professional development program for teachers and counselors.
These trainings give them the tools to deliver PUENTE's threefold program of extensive writing
instruction, sustained academic counseling, and personal mentoring. The project is administered through
the University of California, with regional staff overseen by a statewide office that helps teachers and counselors meet
the needs of PUENTE students.
The Puente Model
The PUENTE experience comprises academic and personal mentoring programs for community college students and a college preparatory program for high school students
- Puente enrolls students of ALL ethnicities.
- Puente currently supports 61 community college and 34 high schools.
- Puente works in 24 counties throughout California.
Engaging the Community
PUENTE develops partnerships with families, schools and communities throughout California, engaging them as stakeholders in the program's success.
PUENTE's efforts are critical to the state's future economy, which demands an educated workforce to remain competitive in the global landscape.
"PUENTE has developed a powerful and sustainable
model for education reform, resulting in a program
that links professional development with culturally
competent teaching, counseling and mentoring."
—Frank Garcia, Executive Director
"PUENTE has been very successful in meeting students
where they are, and maximizing their potential as they
go forward."
—Patricia Gándara, Puente Board Member
PUENTE Community College:
- Community college students take a rigorous two-course English class sequence and a personal development class taught
by a PUENTE-trained instructor and counselor.
- The class provides a supportive environment with a focus on multicultural and Latino literature.
- Students work closely with their PUENTE counselors to prepare an academic plan, focus on academic and professional goals,
and transfer to a four-year university.
- PUENTE's program of personal mentoring by professionals from their local area inspires students to return with college degrees
to their communities, as leaders and mentors for the next generation.
PUENTE High school:
- High school students stay with the same Language Arts teacher for 9th and 10th grades. They participate in a standards-aligned
and culturally inclusive language arts curriculum that accelerates their growth, literacy and prepares them for college-level
reading and writing.
- High school students work closely with a PUENTE counselor to prepare and adhere to an academic plan focused on college readiness.
- Students also take part in structured leadership activities that allow them to experience the value of life-long community
service firsthand.

Russel Wright Associates
American, est. 1935
Pitcher, 1939–1957
26.4 x 20.4 x 16.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Naylor, funds administered by The Winnipeg Foundation
Ceramic, Decorative Arts Ceramic
The American Modern design was an early venture for Russel Wright Associates. Designed in 1937 and launched in 1939, it is said to be the best-selling dinnerware ever manufactured and was the greatest success of Russel Wright's (1904–1976) career. The line, produced until 1957, was later broadened by complementary glassware, table linens, and stainless steel flatware. The WAG's collection of American Modern features pieces in seafoam blue, granite grey, coral, and chartreuse curry, some of the many glaze hues produced. Its muted, earthy colour selection (intended to be mixed and matched), combined with soft, irregular shapes, heralded a change in dinnerware aesthetics. Deliberately informal, American Modern was designed for the casual American lifestyle.

Fri, Mar 18, 2011
Air Camp is expanding its schedule to offer two summer camp
sessions in 2011 in Dayton, Ohio, following its successful launch
in 2010. Middle school students came from across the U.S. last year
to attend the inaugural session of the aviation camp, which is
designed to engage students in the wonders of flight and the
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) of aviation
and aeronautics.
Air Camp is an intensive experience in STEM learning that
provides hands-on experiences and the opportunity to explore behind
the scenes at the area's major aviation and history sites,
including the Air Force Research Laboratory, the National Museum of
the U.S. Air Force, Dayton History, and the Boonshoft Museum of
Discovery. Students receive flight training at Sinclair Community
College, co-pilot a plane at the Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport,
and experience the full range of aviation operations. The
University of Dayton campus serves as the host facility for housing
and meeting space.
"Our greatest resource in the United States is our young
people. Their creativity and problem solving are the keys to our
country's future," said Thomas Lasley, Air Camp President,
University of Dayton Professor of Education, and Executive Director
of Learn to Earn Dayton. "Air Camp is a STEM-focused,
high-energy program that allows young people to explore who they
are as STEM learners and what they might become as STEM
The students who participated in the first Air Camp were
enthusiastic. "Flying in the plane was the best experience of
my life," said one student. "This was an amazing event
I'll never forget!" Another student observed: "I don't
think I've ever been so happy with myself. Making it into Air Camp
is one thing. Experiencing it is a whole other ball game! Thank you
ever so much for giving me the experience of a lifetime!"
Air Camp 2010
Sponsors already committed for 2011 include The University of
Dayton, Sinclair Community College, Wright State University, the
United States Air Force, the Engineering and Science Foundation,
the Mathile Family Foundation, the Turner Foundation, Teradata and
InfoSciTex. In addition, UBS Baller Financial Group is leading an
initiative with Dayton-area technology and defense contractors to
increase support for student scholarships and mentorships in the
camp's second year.
The 2011 summer Air Camp sessions will run June 26-July 1 and
July 10-15. Each session will include up to 40 students.
Applications are being accepted online through April
25 from students entering the seventh, eighth or ninth grades
in fall 2011. Tuition is $995, with a limited number of need-based
scholarships available.

Forsyth Barr installs Desso GrassMaster
Another milestone has been checked off the construction programme as the Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand nears opening on 1 August 2011, with Desso GrassMaster currently being integrated into the natural turf. This is the first time that natural grass has been grown under a fixed roof anywhere in the world. The addition of this permanent structural improvement to the pitch will allow the stadium to stage three times the number of events of a natural grass field.
Desso GrassMaster is installed by a computer controlled machine with bobbins of artificial grass, injecting artificial fibres 20cm deep into the soil, every 2cm across the pitch. This results in approximately 20 million artificial grass fibres, which equates to enough fibre to stretch one and a half times around the world.
During the growing process, the roots of the natural grass interlink with the synthetic grass fibres as they grow deeper into the ground, anchoring the turf into a stable and even field. And although 3% of the pitch is made up of the synthetic grass fibres, Desso GrassMaster gives players the feeling of playing on a 100% natural grass pitch.
David Davies, CEO at the Forsyth Barr Stadium, said: "The introduction of Desso GrassMaster is just another unique factor that makes this stadium absolutely world class. With the increased stability and durability of the turf, we can deliver on our promise to be a truly multi-purpose facility, providing a wide range of events to meet the needs of the whole community."
