- Professor at Franklin & Marshall College
- Steering committee member of Historians Against the War
- Former steering committee member of United For Peace and Justice
- Former organizing director of Peace Action
Van Gosse, who worked as a disc jockey while also writing for such publications as the Village Voice and Melody Maker from 1979-84, earned a bachelor's degree in history at Columbia University in 1983 and a Ph.D. in history at Rutgers University in 1992. He taught at Wellesley College (1991-92) and Trinity College (1994-95), and was an adjunct lecturer at George Mason University from 1996-97. Thereafter, Gosse was a Fellow at the American Council of Learned Societies in 1998-99, and a Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center during 2000-01. He has been a history professor at Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania since 2001.
Early in his academic career, Gosse's scholarship centered around post-World War II social movements in the United States. He authored or edited several books on the New Left—with what he described as "a particular focus on the movements 'in solidarity' with social change in Latin America, from the Cuban Revolution in the 1950s through the Central American wars of the 1980s." Today Gosse's teaching and scholarship focus on: (a) "American political development and the special role that the African American struggle for citizenship has played in our history," and (b) "American culture and society in the Cold War era and since." Moreover, Gosse has written extensively about "the question of Black Power—whether or not African Americans would ever be, or could ever be, 'first-class citizens.'"
In 1992 Gosse was a national board member of the Committee In Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), a leftist organization established in America by prominent members of the Salvadoran Communist Party and Cuban intelligence in order to support El Salvador's militant guerrillas. CISPES was also part of the Soviet-controlled World Peace Council, which sought to manipulate the opinions of Americans through protests and disinformation campaigns.
In July 1992 Gosse endorsed the national conference of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, which was held at UC Berkeley. He served as development director of the Center for Democracy in the Americas from 1992-93, and as its executive director from 1993-94.
In the mid-1990s Gosse was a contributing editor with the Oakland-based Institute for Social and Economic Studies, which sponsored CrossRoads magazine—a periodical that, according to KeyWiki.org, sought to "bring diverse Marxist and socialist traditions to bear while exploring new strategies and directions for the progressive political movements."
From 1995-2000, Gosse was the organizing director of Peace Action (formerly SANE/Freeze).
In January 2003 Gosse co-founded Historians Against the War (HAW) at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association. From the fall of 2002 through 2008, he served on the steering committee of United For Peace and Justice.
Since 2004, Gosse has helped direct the "F&M Votes" campaign, which he describes as "a joint student/staff/faculty effort" at Franklin & Marshall College "which seeks to both register and turn-out our entire student body on Election Day."
In June 2005, Gosse identified "three criteria [necessary] for a successful movement to oppose U.S. foreign policy," a policy which he viewed as aggressive, militaristic, and exploitative. Specifically, Gosse called for a movement that "constantly spreads into new geographic and demographic spaces (and sectors), so as to keep structures of power on the defensive"; "will manifest a multi-strategy and multi-tactics approach to swarm conventional structures of power and policy-making elites, never letting up and wearing them down, in the political equivalent of guerrilla warfare"; and "will focus on opportunities to connect to so-called 'mainstream' … legislative and electoral politics, since this is the arena where a movement must register its gains …"
In January 2007 Gosse derided President George W. Bush's "fiercely militarist vision of total domination both internationally and here at home." Given the unpopularity of Bush and the Iraq War at that time, Gosse saw what he described as "the greatest opportunity for [the development of] a true American Left in my lifetime."
In 2009 Gosse was listed as a signer on the website of Progressives for Obama (later renamed Progressive America Rising). That same year, he co-founded the Post-Capitalist Project (PCP), a cooperative, nonsectarian alliance of leftist journals, popular education centers, and electronic media that promote a "transition beyond capitalism toward a socialist future."
In addition to his professorial duties and his work with PCP, Gosse is a steering committee member of the Radical History Review. He also blogs on the Huffington Post.

Leonard Pitts Jr
Oct. 20, 2003: To irate readers: Race has always benefited whites
I guess I touched a nerve.
That much seems apparent from the dozens of responses to my recent column about a hospital inAbington, Pa., where a white man asked that no black doctors or nurses be allowed to assist in thedelivery of his child. The hospital agreed, a decision I lambasted. Which has produced the aforementioned dozens of critical e-mails. The tone varies fromspittle-spewing bigotry to sweet reason, but they all make the same point: that affirmative actionentitles white people to question black people's competence.
As a reader who chose to remain nameless put it, many people wonder if a given black professional"is there because of his/her skills and abilities, or because of affirmative action. Unfortunately,affirmative action policies leave many unanswered questions about a black person's education andtraining, as well as skills and abilities. . . . How do we answer these questions?"
I will try my best to answer them with a straight face. It's going to be difficult.
Because there's an elephant in this room, isn't there? It's huge and noisy and rather smelly, yetnone of these good people sees it. The elephant is this simple fact:
White men are the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action this country has ever seen.
That's not rhetoric or metaphor. It's only truth.
If affirmative action is defined as giving someone an extra boost based on race, it's hard to seehow anyone can argue the point. Slots for academic admission, for employment and promotion, for bankloans and for public office have routinely been set aside for white men. This has always been thenation's custom. Until the 1960s, it was also the nation's law.
So if we want to talk about achievements being tainted by racial preference, it seems onlylogical to start there. After all, every worthwhile thing African Americans achieved prior to themid-'60s - Berry Gordy's record label, John Johnson's publishing company, Alain Leroy Locke's Rhodesscholarship, Madame C.J. Walker's hair care empire, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams' pioneering heartsurgery - was done, not just without racial preference, but against a backdrop of open racialhostility.
By contrast, nothing white men have ever achieved in this country was done without racial andgender preferences. Affirmative action.
I know that will be hard for some folks to hear. I know it will leave some white brothersindignant. And I expect many recitations of "up by my bootstraps" and "know what it's like to bepoor." We all want to feel that we made it on our own merits, and it's not my intention to diminishthe combination of pluck, luck, hard work and ability that typically distinguishes success, whetherwhite, black or magenta.
On the other hand, there's a word for those who believe race is not a significant factor in whitesuccess: delusional.
It is not coincidence, happenstance or evidence of their intellectual, physical or moralsuperiority that white guys dominate virtually every field of endeavor worth dominating. It is,rather, a sign that the proverbial playing field is not level and never has been.
My correspondents feel they should not be asked to respect the skill or abilities of a blackprofessional who may or may not have benefited from affirmative action. They think such a personshould expect to be looked down upon. But black people have spent generations watching white men whowere no more talented, and many times downright incompetent, vault to the head of the line based onracial preference.
So, here's my question:
Would African Americans be justified in looking down on white professionals? In wondering whetherthey are really smart enough to do the job? In questioning their competence before they had done athing?
Yeah, you're right. That would take one hell of a nerve.

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a T-800 kit, and after laying out some foil in a big square (I couldn't find a biscuit tin) at the other end of the living room, I put the magmount in the centre with a tristar swr reducer on it, powered up the rig from my small golf trolley battery I bought in case there was ever a blackout.
I got a good swr reading without much fiddling, and found I wasn't pushing much in the way of wattage, less than 1 but I'll look into that later.
I was saddened to find just about every tv & radio in the flat went nuts whenever I keyed the mic, looked in to it and bought loads of clip on ferrite magnet rings to put on every cable that needs it, I bought triple what I need because I do intend to set up a more permanent ariel and I suspect my neighbours will not be happy with me at first going back on the CB.
Until it's all sorted I'll be only using it when most folk should be sleeping. ;)
I mind the old days with fond memories, I remember my Mum & Dad (the whole family in fact) being very active on the CB, Dad played chess with folk from afar and they were in a REACT group too, our white Toyota Hi-Ace caravanette became a mini ambulance (helped that Mum was a nurse) at local events (like long distance charity running races, usually up a hill for some reason). The fox hunts too were great fun, we were always one of the foxes (usually hiding in places that not even my Dad knew most of the time) where I got to sit on the back of the caravanette stamping folks cards (Mum always had tea & coffee and sandwiches made) as they came screeching up & away in all manner of trucks, taxis & cars, many handbraking to a stop (I always feared the mini cars would roll over). Mum later was part of something called the Four Sevens, which managed traffic reports for a group that used any ?7 channel in & out of the city.
10-10 till we meet again. ;D
Hello. :)
A place for new members to say hello

(UPDATED) The Curious Tale of Governor LePage and the 19- scratch that- 70 "Pocket Vetoes" LAWS
7/12/15 12:05 am UPDATE: As Governor LePage took no action on the additional 51 bills listed below before the deadline minutes ago, those additional bills have now become law as well. This post will be updated with any new information as it becomes available, as well as any statements from legislators.
A curious thing happened on Monday night, as Maine realized that Governor Paul LePage had failed to act on 19 bills sitting on his desk within the 10 day window for a decision to veto or sign them- and as such, they became law.
The next day, LePage and his administration denied that this was the case, stating that they were dead via the pocket veto option available to the chief executive… which is only true if the Legislature was not "at ease" but rather had "adjourned sine die" on June 30th (which they had NOT).
But while the Governor and his staff continue to insist that they are right, the Revisor's office disagreed.
Here is the list of the 19 new laws.
Bills on Governor's Desk Past the 10 Day Limit
LD 25 "An Act To Protect the Privacy of Citizens from Domestic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Uses" Sponsored by Representative Diane Russell
LD 78 "An Act Regarding Limitations on Certain Storm Water Fees" Sponsored by Senator Nathan Libby
LD 113 "An Act To Reduce the Penalties for Certain Drug Offenses" Sponsored by Senator Roger Katz
LD 234 "An Act To Adjust Appropriations and Allocations from the General Fund and Other Funds for the Expenditures of State Government for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2015" (Emergency) (Governor's Bill) Sponsored by Representative Margaret Rotundo
LD 299 "An Act To Protect Children in Municipal and School Facilities by Requiring Boiler Inspections" Sponsored by Senator Dawn Hill
LD 369 "An Act To Align Municipal General Assistance Programs with the Immigration Status Policies of the Department of Health and Human Services" Sponsored by Senator Eric Brakey
LD 522 "An Act To Clarify a Recently Enacted Law Designed To Expand the Number of Qualified Educators" Sponsored by Senator David Burns
LD 722 "An Act To Strengthen Penalties for Abuse of General Assistance" Sponsored by Senator Eric Brakey
LD 756 "An Act To Enhance the Address Confidentiality Program Regarding Property Records" Sponsored by Representative Michelle Dunphy
LD 822 "An Act To Allow a Former Spouse of a Member of the Maine Public Employees Retirement System To Begin Collecting Benefits When the Former Spouse Reaches the Member's Retirement Age" Sponsored by Representative Patrick Corey
LD 870 "An Act To Amend the Maine Spruce Budworm Management Laws" Sponsored by Senator James Dill
LD 1013 "An Act To Prevent the Shackling of Pregnant Prisoners" Sponsored by Senator Anne Haskell
LD 1039 "An Act To Amend the Polygraph Examiners Act" Sponsored by Senator Anne Haskell
LD 1085 "An Act To Implement the Recommendations of the Right To Know Advisory Committee Concerning Receipt of a Request for Public Records" Introduced by Rep. Barry Hobbins
LD 1108 "An Act To Protect Children and the Public from Electronic Cigarette Vapor" Sponsored by Representative Jeff McCabe
LD 1134 "An Act To Require the Department of Health and Human Services To Distribute Information Regarding Down Syndrome to Providers of Prenatal and Postnatal Care and to Genetic Counselors" Sponsored by Senator Amy Volk
LD 1185 "An Act To Establish the Municipal Gigabit Broadband Network Access Fund" Sponsored by Representative Norman Higgins
LD 1303 "An Act To Stabilize and Streamline the Department of Environmental Protection's Ground Water Oil Clean-up Fund and Maine Coastal and Inland Surface Oil Clean-up Fund" Sponsored by Senator Thomas Saviello
LD 1391 "An Act Regarding the Treatment of Forensic Patients" Sponsored by Representative Richard Malaby
LePage's lawyers Cynthia Montgomery and Hank Fenton quickly wrote to Grant Pennoyer, Executive Director of the Legislative Council, about the actions of the Revisor's office.
And Pennoyer responded back, just as zippety-quick… and against Team LePage.
This sentence is key:
"Absent a legal opinion from an authoritative external legal source, such as an opinion of the justices or a written opinion of the attorney general, which the office has used as guidance in the past, the revisor's office will continue to perform its administrative responsibilities in an absolutely nonpartisan manner."
And here's why it's important. Moments ago, Maine's Attorney General Janet T. Mills responded to requests earlier this week by Senators Tom Saviello (R-Franklin) and Asst Minority Leader Dawn Hill (D-York), on the question of whether or not the Legislature was adjourned sine die or not, as well as the status of the 19 now printed bills/ laws.
Mills' response is below.
As of yesterday, it was announced that another 51 bills could also become law if the governor also ignores them until after 12:01 am July 12th (Sunday). Here is the list of those bills.
Who knows where next this goes– Maine may well see Paul LePage take the Legislature, the Revisor's office, Grant Pennoyer and the Attorney General to court. It's all anyone's guess.


text: EditorialInnovative Suppliers See New Opportunities in Face of Brewing Trade War President Donald Trump is a disruptor, and he has chosen to disrupt the global trade system. His intentions are probably good because he believes free trade with no tariffs is the way countries should operate and is using tariffs as triggers for change. It would be nice if pure competition without government interference determined business winners and losers. American businesses are innovators, capable of competing more successfully when not hindered by one-sided trade agreements that force them to pay an excessive amount of tariffs on imports or foreign tariffs that make their exports too expensive. Unfortunately, tariffs are deeply embedded in the global supply chain on imports and exports, and changes to the current system create the risk of a trade war. Is there a trade war developing? The verdict is still out. Disrupting the global trade system has the potential to bring significant benefits to U.S. companies and equally has the potential to devastate others.

Room 1050 of the Earth Sciences Building at the University of Toronto, 33 Willcocks St., M5S 3B3
Richard Heinberg, author and senior fellow at the Post-Carbon Institute, will talk about fossil fuel resource depletion and what that means for life in the next decades. He will address the ramifications of the fracking oil and gas "boom" in North America.
Oil, coal, and natural gas are finite and depleting, while burning them changes Earth's climate and compromises our future, so you might think that curtailing their use would be simple common sense. But there are major players in the energy debate that want to keep us burning more. In the past five years this debate has reached a significant turning point with the development of hydrofracturing for oil and gas production. Is this the dawning of a new golden age of cheap energy—or the last gasp of a fuel industry in steep decline?

Sun Blocks
Reclaimed wooden wine crates, lumber, latex paint, nylon mesh
21' x 10' 2" x 11' 10"
Sun Blocks is a collaborative public art project between students from the University Neighborhood High School, teaching artist Chat Travieso, and classroom teacher Sylvia Herbold as part of Hester Street Collaborative's Ground Up design education program. The installation is the culmination of a 15 week after school program with in which students learned about socially engaged design through an interactive curriculum in which they spoke to historians, architects, and activists to research the history of the area, its ecology, and current community issues; interviewed local residents and did mapping exercises to understand the everyday needs of the neighborhood; and brainstormed ways to make Pier 42 a more welcoming place. The result is a public art project the group designed, built, and painted. Constructed mostly out of reclaimed wooden crates and salvaged lumber, the installation offers shade and flexible seating for young people to hang out in the park and enjoy the view of the river. Hester Street Collaborative's Ground Up program with University Neighborhood High School was funded through a Cultural After School Adventures (CASA) grant from New York City Council Member Margaret Chin and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

As Practical Utopians, we want our culture to continue to evolve towards better and brighter outcomes for humanity. The biggest threat we see to this continued evolution is our ongoing exhaustion and degradation of our natural environment here on Earth.
If sustainability is the most serious issue of our time, then human population growth is certainly one of the most vital tools we have for making progress in this area. Let's look at the topic of human population growth from a number of different perspectives.

Secluded campsites tucked along a ridge on the mesas above Moab offering striking vistas of canyon country. High clearance required, no RVs, trailers or pull campers. Individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The area has many 4WD roads and mountain bike routes. The campground is located near Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park.
The campground has seven individual Sites (limited to 10 people & two vehicles per site); the site has toilets but no water or hook-ups.
It sucked , wind and thunderstorms all night long for 2 days straight . Finally went and got a motel . Bugs were crazy !!! Everything wet !
perfect spot to camp outside canyonlands! heard so many coyotes running the canyon floor at night! one of my favorite campgrounds to date!
Campground Review: I stayed at site 3 at the Cowboy camp North or Moab off 313 toward Dead Horse State Park. Overall, I really liked this campground. It is small (only 7 spots) and rustic which I appreciate. The access road is right off the highway but is not maintained so there are large rocks and not a spot for trailers. There is no water and the toilets are three sided pit toilets (no roof) which may not be for everyone. The camp host (and dumpster services) are located down the road at the Horsethief campground. It was really windy when I visited so be prepared for a fine dust over everything and to put out additional guy wires to stabilize your tent. It has the basic amenities: metal fire pit and picnic table. Despite the wind, the scenery was beautiful and you had privacy since the spots were not close to each other at all. You see your neighbors but weren't in their business. Overall, I really enjoyed this campground and since I am mountain biking a lot more, it will be my go to spot for my biking weekends.
*Small and intimate
*Close to Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse State Park, amazing mountain bike trail systems
*In open range so watch out for cows. There was a nice old cow patty in my camp site area. Not a deal breaker but be aware of it.
*There was a large ant hill in my campsite but someone had put a ring of rocks around it so it was easy to spot.
*20-30 minutes from Moab. This is both good and bad depending on how frequently you need supplies in town.
Gear Review: Renogy Solar Backpack
As a Ranger for the Dyrt, I get the opportunity to test out gear from our partners once in a while. I have been testing out the Renogy Solar Backpack. My overall impressions of this backpack is it is awesome and it will turn into my car camping and computer/electronics backpack for everyday use. The straps are super comfortable, it has tons of pockets to store and organize your electronics stuff and the main pocket is huge to safely accommodate a laptop as well as lots of other stuff. I think the multiple pockets is a double edge sword. I love them but I also lose things in them/forget what pocket I put stuff in. The only pockets I wasn't a huge fan of was the side zippered pockets meant for a water bottle or coffee mug. They were just a bit too short and loose for me to feel comfortable using them routinely without my mug falling out. But that is a totally minor thing that does not detract from the overall usage of the backpack.
Now the best part of the pack is the solar panel! The front has approximately a 9in x 11in solar panel with plug in cord that is amazing. You can have the panel facing out or if not in use you can flip it over and protect it. This adds a lot of zippers to the pack, which can be a minor inconvenience when you are trying to grab something quickly but overall it is just getting used to what zippers access what pockets or features. We have used this backpack in multiple locations, not just Cowboy Camp, and it has worked great every time. It will charge a small lipstick sized external battery (approximately one full cell phone charge) in just a few hours when the panel is in direct sun. We also hooked up other electronics like our GoPro or phone or headlamp directly to the power source and it charged in the same amount of time (approximately 2.5-3 hours). Obviously, full sun allows the panels to work better but it will work in cloudy conditions, just not as efficiently.
Overall impression: This backpack is a great addition to my pack arsenal. The solar panel will be a great addition to our normal camping gear and we will be able to utilize our electronics (like a GoPro or digital camera) more when we are camping for extended periods of time. Finally the pack itself is quite large (20L) and will be able to keep all our stuff organized and used as a computer/office bag when not camping.
This campground is small. It only has 6 spots. It's right off the road coming out of Canyonlands. There is only a pit toilet for amenities. But the view of the valley was amazing at sunset. Totally worth the car noise and wind that you will experience:
On our way to Canyonlands and everything was booked except for this less than 10 site campground perched on a few lovely curvy rocks.
Site 1 is big, private and has all the views….
We loved this location so much we stayed a couple of days and witnessed a thunderstorm over the Rockies and a meteor shower over the mesas!
There's no running water and a simple pit toilet is the only facility offered.
There's an interesting little trail that must have been a fire access road.
This is a quieter and simpler spot that's great for contemplative solitude.
We wanted to get into Willow Flats Campground in Island in the Sky but it was full when we arrived at like 9am. We only needed one night and planned to leave the next morning at 4am to get to Denver to cap off a two week trip in Utah, so we went to the first place we found, put our money in the board before even looking at the campsite, then drove down the very bumpy road to find a pretty crappy site. The picnic table was, I don't even know, black, burnt, gross. My girlfriend refers to it as a 'prison table picnic table'. Not good. We didn't even know there was a bathroom. There was a standard fire ring that was black and full of ashes. There wasnt any cover, rocks and dirt. I suppose the sunset view could be good, but we were in the park for it.
Even for one night, I would have looked elsewhere could i do it again. Would not stay there again.
This is a decent spot to rest your head. It used to be a free dispersed camping area, but it became popular and so the BLM added an open-air potty and added a fee. The road in can be a bit rough, so check the road if you have a low clearance vehicle or are hauling a trailer. The sunsets here are spectacular. The location is great, just down the road from the Canyonlands "Island In The Sky" National Park, be sure to make time for exploring this great beauty!
We got to the camp in mid day and there were many weird things. The bathroom had no door, our neighbors were weird, and the clouds started moving in. The view was pretty but we had to watch out for snakes and scorpions. At night it started down pouring on us and our tent was like a bath tub. In the morning we packed up and left
Very primitive site we saw on our map and decided to go. WARNING: BATHROOM DOESNT HAVE A DOOR, just a chain. It made for a lot of memories and an adventure we would never forget.

"I don't believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of a coach. It is the result of a love affair between a child and a ball."
- Roy Keane
In an hour long 11 v 11 scrimmage the average player will only have the ball at their feet for 72 seconds. The goal of training is to make those 72 seconds as valuable as possible through thousands of high intensity repetitions. You will get more touches in 2-minutes with our Soccer Smart Wall than in an hour of scrimmaging. DASO maximizes the volume and value of your reps through game-like audio-visual targeting, competition, and play.
The famed Ajax development system has more players in 1st division European soccer leagues than any club on earth. The foundation of their methodology is 10,000 touches on the ball every day. DASO makes this rigorous training a game and provides high volume quality repetitions to amplify the rate of technical progress. Our Soccer Smart Wall is the best way to develop 1st touch, striking, passing, turning, and ball manipulation with both feet.
"Football is played with the head, the feet are just the tools"
- Andrea Pirlo
Soccer proficiency is based on effective responses to constantly changing multi-dimensional stimuli. Connecting multiple Soccer Smart Walls together in a single system develops spatial awareness by requiring the constant integration of rapid audio-visual scanning and active memory. Active memory is your short-term memory and is vital for subconsciously managing the timing, organization, and placement of multiple variables on a field. Being able to effectively organize these rapidly changing variables is what sets elite players apart.
Professional athletes have response times of up to 0.155 milliseconds, while the average person has response times closer to 0.250 milliseconds. Decreasing the necessary time for cognitive thought is responsible for this difference. Our Soccer Smart Wall uses high value game-like repetitions to turn slow decisions into effective responses to rapidly changing variables on the field.
Everything is practice
Your ventilatory threshold is essentially how much work you can do before you begin breathing hard. This is influential in and interdependent with your VO2 Max, your anaerobic and aerobic capacity, and is fundamental to your ability to perform on the field. Effective Metabolic Conditioning (MetCon) will increase ventilatory threshold, anaerobic reserves, and max sprint speed. High value interval training with the DASO Soccer Smart Wall rapidly develops all areas of soccer fitness with the ball at your foot.
Soccer requires complex athleticism. Speed is the ability to move as fast as possible in one direction. Agility is acceleration, deceleration, stabilization and quick change of direction. And quickness is the ability to change body posture with the maximum rate of force. Our Soccer Smart Wall will develop your SAQ better than any individual training by providing game-like incentives of competition and play.

Easy-going with a heart-warming smile, this month's fashionista brings colour and razzmatazz to her personal style.
Dhan Illiani, 20
With her unique style and charming personality, here is someone you should look out for. Our stylish girl of the month, Dhan has the eye to make things work well together. Think of the unexpected – that's how we'd describe her style. She makes the most random pieces of clothing work well no matter how clashing the prints and textures are!
Dhan's fashion inspirations are Björk and FKA Twigs, which makes perfect sense. We can definitely see elements of both singers' style influence Dhan's innovative look. "I'd describe my look as experimental, quirky and artsy," she says.
It's amazing how much freedom I have in styling my hijab with my hoodie and bucket hats!"
Her Instagram feed isn't only filled with original artworks but also photos that show off her talent as a photographer with a unique eye. Currently, in her final year at university pursuing Diploma in Fashion Design and armed with the skills and passion for fashion and photography, Dhan hopes to pursue a career in art direction. With a love for bucket hats and having a stylish eye to constantly create something fresh, she's definitely the coolest 20-year-old in our books!
A few of Dhan's favourite things!

This is exciting. Time to take your crafty venture to the next level and end the days of selling knit scarfs out of your garage. Now you can have your very own, customized, store on Etsy.com. We'll talk about branding, marketing and pricing. Build a successful brand for your small business. In this guide you'll learn how to set up shop, make money, and bring on the success.
Step 1
Obviously, the first thing you should do is: have a product. If you are sans product, close the browser and retreat to your safe place to think about what products you are capable of making and what is marketable. Remember, you want to keep it simple with the kind of products you have in your store. Stick with similar products. If you are with product already, great! You may proceed to step 2.
Step 2
Do your research. You want to browse other stores selling similar items to yours so you can check prices and how they categorize or tag their products. These kind of things are important for attracting traffic and being successful. Also, understand your market. If you want to sell baby tooth jewelry (as weird as I think that is), know that your target audience is moms with toddlers. Also, use Google Trends to see how popular your product is right now. You can use your keyword so, "baby tooth jewelry" and see how many times it's been searched to give you an idea of how well-received it may be.
Step 3
Pick a name! This is the fun part, but be wise. You want to create a brand that you can grow with and is easy to remember. Don't pick something like Color Green because when someone searches for your store on Google or Bing – your store is going to be lost amongst everything to do with the color green.
Step 4
Go ahead and create your profile and customize your store. You want it to be welcoming and professional looking – but you can also let your creative side show through. Create your brand as a reflection of yourself and your products. Have fun designing your banner and your avatar. Your profile should be informative so your future customers know a little about who you are and why you are doing what you're doing. The story definitely adds to the Etsy experience.
Step 5
Time to price your items. So after you do your research via Google and on Etsy you can assign an appropriate price for your items. Don't low ball it either, some people perceive that as low quality products and not just a good deal. Be fair to yourself for your hard work but don't think you're going to make millions, either.
Step 6
Photos are crucial. If you are looking to buy a new piece of art but the artist only describes it and doesn't have a picture of it, how likely are you to buy it? Probably not likely. You want to see what you're going to get. How about when you are looking at a new recipe and the food picture is really unappetizing? You'll probably look for something else to make. Same principles apply for your Etsy store. Take the time to make sure the lighting is good and you have clear photos of your products. Take a few pictures from different angles to give the customer a clearer view of what they are getting.
Step 7
Promoting your shop really is the most important thing to take from this article. If you don't promote, you won't get traffic, without traffic, you won't get sales. There are several ways to promote yourself:
1. Get business cards. You can do this on www.vistaprint.com for really affordable prices. Carry these with you everywhere. You never know when you'll need to share your shop with someone. It's great for casual contacts too – it has your number and name and maybe you'll convert someone to be a customer at your shop!
2. Get on social media. If you're going to run a business, you really need to get on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc. It's the best way to reach your customers and potential customers. You can update them with new products, sales and keep them engaged with you and what you're doing.
-For Facebook, create a business page for your new Etsy shop.
-On Pinterest, create boards that showcase who you and your business are. Try to pin often so your followers see new stuff in their feed and can
-On Twitter, post product updates, sales and cute pictures, links, etc. to show your customers a glimpse of who you are and your products. Use Twitter to market your business.
3. Spend time browsing other people's shops on Etsy. Find some you really dig and "favorite" them. This may intrigue the store owner to come look at your shop which means potential new customers.
4. Create a blog. Nowadays, blogs are a dime a dozen, but when you have something unique to write about (crafts, DIY, metal work, wood carving – whatever your trade is) people will listen. Try creating a free blog at www.blogger.com or www.tumblr.com, it's easy to do and you can then start advertising your Etsy shop on the blog, writing about why and how you do what you do and you will gain authority in your niche. Plus, blogging can actually become an income for you as well. Learn how to get your blog to pay your bills.
You need to approach your store like you would any business. If you want this to just be a hobby, then don't expect to get big returns. Businesses require a lot of time and effort to plan out and make successful. Usually, businesses don't even open until there is a well thought out business plan in place. I would suggest thinking about creating one for yourself. If nothing else it can act as a great resource when you get stuck or forget what you're striving for.

A traditional Jewish ritual during the last hours of life is to light a candle in the room of a dying person to symbolize the flickering of a human soul. We give deference to her or his final wishes. A person is gently encouraged to confess and ask for atonement. This confession can be as simple as "May my death be an atonement." A person often recites the Shema when preparing for death.
It is said in the Talmud that being with someone when she or he dies is considered a great deed of loving kindness, for a soul in transition is comforted by a soul in a peaceful state.
In Jewish tradition, we say that someone has died when breathing has stopped and there is no pulse. Traditionally a feather is put across the lips and watched for any sign of movement for eight minutes. The eyes are gently closed and the arms and hands are extended alongside the body. Water standing in the vicinity is poured out. The body is never left alone, for its vital soul is temporarily disoriented. During the period between death and burial, traditionally about twenty-four hours, or less, psalms are read continuously the help ease the passage.
In religious communities, the body is prepared for burial by a chevra kaddisha (holy community). In this process, called tahorah (purification), the body is rubbed and cleansed with lukewarm water while attendants recite biblical verses and psalms. The idea is to honor the one who has passed over, and also to heal the soul in transition. This is an enormously powerful experience for those who perform this ritual, and deeply meaningful for the survivors. When the preparations of the body have been completed, a large amount of water--at least four and a half gallons--is poured over the body while it is held in an upright position. This represents a final purification in preparation for burial. At this time, the body is dried and placed in shrouds.9
Many traditional rituals have been put aside by non-Orthodox Jews. This I believe is a mistake. I was once called by a man who was facing serious surgery. He was worried about dying. He wanted Tibetan Buddhist rites of passage first and then a Jewish burial. I asked him why, and he responded that his body would be constantly attended and that prayers would be said to assist his transition. I told him that Judaism has a similar ritual using different prayers, but the same process. He was surprised to hear this; most Jews are completely unaware of the depths of the tradition.
It would be helpful for non-Orthodox Judaism to revisit this particular aspect of the tradition and to seriously consider paying more attention to honoring the mystery of death. As we learn more about the Jewish mystical approach to dying, soul journeys, raising sparks, and bringing the consciousness of the world to a higher level, we need to pay closer attention to the value of some of our ancient rituals.
Jewish practices after burial are generally well known. For the first seven days, immediate family members "sit shiva" (shiva means seven), which traditionally includes sitting low to the ground, burning a candle for the entire week, not wearing leather footwear, covering mirrors or turning them around, and having a prayer minyan (ten adults) in the house for three daily prayers (morning, afternoon, and evening after dark) so that kaddish (prayers for the dead) can be said. This process with the accompanying ritual can be highly therapeutic for the family. It brings the community together, strengthens bonds of relationship, and gives a framework of support in the face of a difficult experience. It also gives a sense of connectedness with the tradition in knowing these observances have been done for thousands of years. Many who do not ordinarily observe traditional Jewish practices have found great merit and deep meaning in sitting shiva.
Mourning continues for thirty days (sheloshim), during which mourners are not supposed to cut their hair, wear "pressed" clothes, get married, attend festive events, or embark on business journeys. Kaddish is said every day at prayers (traditionally three times a day) for eleven months for a parent, child or spouse.
Most of the mourning ritual is designed to help people through the grieving process. On the mystical level, it also helps the soul during its transition. This is particularly true of the prayers that are sent to support the soul needing redemption. We will see that the power of prayer for those who have died is an important part of the redemption process.
Whether or not we are attracted to traditional mourning practices, we cannot help but think about the loss of a loved one. We can be a major resource for the departed soul by simply sending our love and support. When we are able to feel that we are doing something, it helps us in our grieving process and, mystics say, it truly helps the soul.
As described, there are five levels of the soul. The higher levels of neshama, chayah and yehidah function in a way that they cannot be directly affected by what a person does to his or her consciousness. However, they are indirectly affected by the state of the nefesh and ruach. After death, the higher levels of the soul will return to their home "regions," but they must await the redemption of the nefesh before finally resting in their natural state.
If the nefesh does not get redeemed, the ruach cannot be "crowned" in the lower Garden of Eden. If it cannot be crowned, the higher soul levels cannot reach the center of awareness. In this sense, all of the levels are "punished" by having to await the redemption of the lowest level of soul, the nefesh.
It is said that the nefesh wanders between the grave and the dwelling place of the deceased for the first seven days after death, looking for its living body. After this, the nefesh is purified in Gehinnom, and then it wanders the world until it has a garment (signifying an awareness level).9
This process of purification takes twelve months. Once it has its garment, it gains access to the lower Garden of Eden, where it joins the ruach. The ruach then gets crowned, the neshama unites with the Throne, and all is well.
In a remarkable section, the Zohar outlines the process of the purification of the nefesh during the twelve months after death, suggesting a completely different scenario than most of us have been taught. The Jewish mystical system is designed to continue the process of tikkun olam (mending the universe) even after death. The reader must keep in mind that the language of Kabbalah is poetic, the images are metaphors, and the intention is to arouse the soul rather than the mind. From this perspective, let yourself enter these mystical teachings as a garden of delights.
Once a nefesh no longer has a body, it loses its free will that is associated with a living person.9
Therefore, it no longer can redeem itself, but needs the guidance and help of a living being with free will. In this context, there are a number of ways in which a nefesh can be redeemed. First, there are tzaddikim (saints) who dwell in other realms. These saints are born into this world when the scales of good and evil in the world tilt dangerously to the side of evil. In this situation, the tzaddik has the job of maintaining the world so that it does not go out of kilter.9
When there is a living tzaddik in the world, unredeemed souls--wandering souls, neither in Gehinnom or the Garden of Eden--primarily those in the first twelve months after death, are used by this saint as "workers" to keep the world running well. They act in the same way as angels, for they can perform tasks in realities other than the one we normally experience. As they serve the saint, the souls raise sparks and are redeemed by the merit of the word they do in service of the tzaddik.
If no tzaddik is alive in the world, the Torah scroll defends these souls. That is to say, all the prayers of the world are drawn upon to keep these souls illuminated. Thus, family and friends who pray for someone recently deceased can be of critical importance for the redemption of that soul. Once again, we who have free will can accomplish things that are beyond the capacity of a soul in the death realms.
Next, the ruach level of the soul is drawn from the Garden of Eden to help illuminate, and thus uplift, the nefesh level of the soul. In this process, three times a day, a ruach goes into the Cave of Machpelah, that is, to the graves of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, and Leah. Its presence stimulates their bones, like the presence of a great-great grandchild warming the spirit of the great-great grandparent. This "warming" attracts supernal dew, the essence through which life becomes manifest. Once the dew is stimulated, it descends from heaven, level upon level, until it reaches the lower Garden of Eden. Here, the supernal dew bathes and perfumes itself in spices. The aromatic dew now enters the Cave of Machpelah, and the fragrance of the Garden of Eden raises the spirits of the patriarchs and matriarchs. In their merit, the world is healed, including the redemption of souls in the death realms.9
If none of the above processes take place, and the world is endangered because the matriarchs and patriarchs are asleep (not protecting the world), then the nefesh informs the ruach, the ruach informs the neshama, the neshama informs the Holy One, and the Holy One sits on the Throne of Mercy. This arouses an emanation of a stream of dew from the Ancient Holy One (Ein Sof). The stream flows to the "Head of the King," (the upper limbs of the Tree of Life: chochma, binah and daat), which causes the lower limbs, the spirits of the patriarchs and matriarchs (chesed, gevorah and tiferet), to be blessed. As a result, everything in the world is blessed, which helps all unredeemed souls.9
The difference between the kabbalistic approach to redemption of the soul and some of the descriptions we find in other Jewish literature is so pronounced, we must pause to reflect. Here we see the treatment of the soul in a completely different light; its redemption is virtually assured. Whether through service to the tzaddik, the merit of prayer, the merit of the patriarchs and matriarchs, or as a last resort, the outflow from the source Itself, the after-death scenario is filled with merciful loving kindness.
Compared with concepts of reward and punishment as seen in other Jewish literature, the idea of mercy in this instance is not personal, per se, as much as it is the quintessence of the universal design. Although a nefesh may carry the burden of life, the thrust of the universe is to raise all levels of consciousness. The nefesh will be lifted by this urge to a level in which it will be able to garment itself in higher consciousness, and thus it will join with its sister, ruach, in the Garden of Eden. When this is done, the sister-soul of the neshama comes to its highest potential.
As noted earlier, the levels of soul are connected, as on a violin string. This string will not resonate well if anything impedes it. Thus, this process of redeeming the lower levels of the soul release the upper levels, and the string of our violin is completely liberated to join the cosmic symphony in perfect pitch.
