64th NAWIC Annual Conference!
Start planning to attend the 2019 NAWIC Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA. This year is one you will not want to miss!
Those who plan to register early can take advantage of special "Early bird" registration rates.
The four-and-a-half day conference is designed for all women in construction, members and non-members alike.
Two Powerful Keynote Speakers
Thursday Keynote Luncheon:
Be the Change - Major MJ HegarMajor MJ Hegar reveals how to be a catalyst for change on a large scale, be it in your career, at home, or on a national or global level. When someone tells you that something cannot be done, she says, the only way to prove them wrong is to do what they believe to be impossible. Her heroic actions in Afghanistan—when she was shot down on a Medevac mission and was pivotal in rescuing her crew and patients, and became the second woman in history to earn a Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device—changed the perception of women in the military. And, her historic lawsuit against the Secretary of Defense opened the door for women to participate in ground combat, a significant step forward for equal rights for women in the military. How did she do it? And what can we learn from her experiences? A magnetic speaker, she combines harrowing war stories and powerful lessons on social change with practical advice on leadership, diversity, teamwork, and motivation.
Saturday Keynote Closing Brunch:
You Hold the Power - Judaline CassidyJudaline was one of the very first women accepted into Plumbers Local Union 371 Staten Island New York, and the first woman elected on the Examining Board of Plumbers Local Union No One. With her guidance, fortitude, and determination she ushered in the first Women's Committee within her Union of which she's the President. She serves on the Advisory Board for the Women's Building NYC. The change that is required and necessary for women in our industry to grow and succeed already exists. Are you ready to activate the power that's already in your hands? You will not want to miss our Closing Keynote Brunch Speaker, Judaline Cassidy. She will share her story and how you, too, hold the power to your success!!

Engaging New Volunteers
• Stevie Dawn Blakely
Volunteers are the life-blood of many organizations, however, they are not always easy to find. Learn how to reach new volunteers, engage them with excitement, and empower them to contribute to the goal in this session.
Tactical Confrontation for a Safer Workplace
• Gary Sheely
Managers, supervisors, foremen, and crew leaders — anyone responsible for getting the work done safely — engage in confrontational situations every day as part of their work. These situations don't have to be tense or awkward.
This presentation explores the reasons why conversations that should be no big deal escalate into time-wasting conflicts and how to avoid them.
Shaping Safety Culture - brought to you by Georgia Power

Safety's Competitive Advantage and the Value of Safety and Health Certification in
• Joshua Franklin
Compliance with state and federal regulations is the absolute minimum and does not ensure the safety and health of workers. Safety and health, in today's dynamic construction industry, must no longer be defined as the absence of harm and death. But how do you turn safety into competitive advantage and what place do safety and health certifications play in building value, trust, and credibility in construction? This presentation includes practical tips on advancing safety and health in your organization as well as personal stories from NAWIC members on their certification journeys.

Exploring Implicit Bias in the Workplace
• Peggy Newquist, CIT, ESP
We all hold biases as a result of our life experiences. Learn how to recognize implicit gender bias and explore practical strategies to mitigate the effects on your career.

Businesses increasingly rely on their computer networks to store confidential business and customer information, automate manufacturing and customer interaction, and manage supply chain relationships with customers and vendors.

Quotes Of The Heart
An attempt in putting back the broken pieces back together after different experiences of what we call life.
Tuesday, May 28, 2019
Monday, August 6, 2018
Without Warning
Without warning, one day I fell in love.
I loved like I had never before.
I trusted fully, never my strong point.
I believed without questioning.
I considered myself lucky to have found this love.
He made me feel loved; He made me feel special;
He made me feel beautiful; He made me feel happy;
He made me feel strong; He made me feel safe;
He made me feel I mattered; He made me feel needed;
He made me feel full of life.
Without warning, he broke my heart; He made me hurt;
He made me sad; He made me feel pain;
He made me feel unfit; He made me feel unwanted;
He made me feel weak; He made me feel unnoticed;
He made me feel replaceable; He mad me feel unattractive;
He made me feel undeserving; He made me feel broken.
Without warning, he was gone.
Looking Back
Was I so desperate for love?
Why would I cover up and lie about the bruises,
welts across my back and legs, bloody lips, cuts, and black eye?
Maybe, I needed to believe they were accidents.
Maybe, I needed to believe it was my own fault.
Maybe, I just needed to believe that my mother would never want to hurt me.
Narcissist baffle my mind at how good they are at what they do.
They are master destroyers of lives. They all seem to similar, as if they
were all trained by the Master of masters.
Their similarities include how they find their prey.
Their victims seem to also share the same story with each other.
Victims can be continents apart and yet have the same torturous stories to tell of life with a narcissist. It is as if each and everyone one had experienced the abuse from the same narcissist.
How can all these horrible individuals be so alike without ever having met?
How can the damage they all cause be so similar among all victims?
How can they hide their horrible manipulations so well?
Is there one Grand Master orchestrating them all?
My Search
I'm still in search.
Not sure what I'm searching for.
But I know that I haven't found it yet.
Maybe, I'm searching for myself.
I am incomplete.
There's a void, a hole, an emptiness that I can not grasp.
Is it fulfillment?
But what would make me feel fulfilled.
Is it accomplishment?
All the accomplishments put together doesn't seem to be dense enough to fill the void.
Is it love?
Love gives power to others to break you.
Is it trust?
Those closest to me have taught me that humankind can't be trusted.
Is it happiness?
But what is happiness for me?
Is it the moment?
I realize that I no longer have to doubt how far I can go.
I just have to remember how far I have come,
remember everything I have faced,
remember all the fears I have overcome,
remember all the battles I have won.
I am strong.
I wear a smile.
I am a survivor!
I trusted you; you deceived me.
I believed you; you lied to me.
I loved you; you broke me heart.
The pain broke me; you moved on.
It was all a game you played and when you got bored,
you left me to die.
And I did.

Cycling Holidays are the New Niche for People Over 40
By Gary Corbett Traditionally adventure holidays have been the domain of testosterone charged thrill seekers in the 20-plus age bracket. But not any longer, with guided and self-guided cycling holidays becoming increasingly popular on a yearly basis with people over 40 years old. Essentially an organised cycling holiday ticks all the boxes for older, or

We've all heard that Pilates is "good" for us. Experts spout a myriad of benefits to getting your sweat on. They range from disease prevention to weight management, with the added bonus that it will make you look good in skinny jeans. So, while we know that we "should" get our weekly workouts in- when does something good for you go bad? Here are my signs that you are working too hard:
- You are so sore you can't _______(bend, sit, pee, or tie your shoes) the next day. Soreness happens, butbalance and consistency take work. The pain you feel after killing yourself at the gym, comes from your body trying to repair tiny tears in the muscles fibers. While some soreness will be normal especially after vigorous exercise, too much can indicate injury. Plus- being incapacitated will make it almost impossible to make your workout the next day, and then maybe the next, and the next. You get the idea.
- You aren't having a good time. I don't know about you, but getting to the Pilates studio or the yoga mat is challenging enough as it is. If I'm forcing myself towards an activity that I absolutely loathe, then I'm more likely to skip it. I believe fitness should be fun. Walk the dog because you get so much joy from Fido. Put on some tunes and dance until you can barely speak. Do it because it makes you happy and feel magnificent.
- You're should-ing on yourself. Most of my life I've battled a case of the should-s. I should have my leg higher on that battement (dancer speak for a big ole' kick.) I should be 5-10lbs thinner. I should be more muscular, flexible, proficient, etc. When you feel like working out and being fit becomes a measure of how loved and accepted you are by yourself, it's time to change that record. Like food, exercise can get obsessive and destructive if you let it. Consider it a practice in self acceptance and just cool it.
One of my mentors, a life-long Pilates instructor and master teacher Bob Leikens, told me one day in a particular grueling workout, while I was gritting and scrunching my face, " Lindsay relax- it's only Pilates". When you find yourself making faces and gritting your teeth stop and ask yourself, "Am I making this a big deal?" Remember- it's just Pilates.
If working out, feeling great, and being healthy without killing yourself is just your style come and visit us in NYC! FORM Pilates is a gorgeous boutique studio in the heart of Manhattan. First-time guests can try us out in style for a steal. Click here for more info. We hope to see you on the mat soon!

As it is likely that the 131-seat assembly will dissolve the opposition-led congress, Mr Chavez appears to have won an unassailable legislative base from which to carry out his "peaceful revolution".
Opponents, however, worry that the charismatic leader, whose wife and brother were elected along with about 20 former military colleagues, may be creating the apparatus for dictatorial rule.
Results based on about 80% of the ballot showed that at least 91% of seats were won by candidates who support the president.
Mr Chavez, who led a violent coup attempt seven years ago in the name of Venezuela's poor, celebrated by addressing hundreds of ecstatic supporters from a balcony of the presidential palace.
"The victory of the patriots has been pulverising," he told them. "We are building a true democracy in a way that those who destroyed the country from here didn't know how to."
Mr Chavez rode to victory on a wave of public outrage over political corruption. Official figures show that 65% of Venezuelans are impoverished, even though the country possesses the largest oil reserves in the western hemisphere.
The new assembly will convene in August and have six months to write a new constitution, which will reflect Mr Chavez's proposals to allow presidential re-election and the popular election of judges.
Mr Chavez wants the assembly to become a "fourth power", beyond the three traditional branches of government, and to be in charge of rooting out corruption.
There are likely to be some fierce political battles ahead, since the supreme court has said the assembly will not have authority over congress or judiciary until a new constitution is voted in.
Some Venezuelans were quick to voice fears that the size of the victory was an ominous event for the world's third-largest oil exporter.
"I'm not going to passively let them sneak in a military regime with the appearance of cheap populism that's going to set us back 100 years," said Jorge Olavarria, one of nine opposition candidates who won an assembly seat.
Nearly six months into his five-year term, Mr Chavez has emerged as one of Latin America's most colourful and intriguing leaders. When not vilifying opponents or breaking protocol to comfort the sick and destitute, he preaches a vague ideology named after Venezuela's favourite son, the 19th-century independence hero Simon Bolivar, whom the president quotes profusely.
Mr Chavez even suggested that the new assembly should change the country's name to "the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela".
Despite a sharp economic downturn and the loss of about 600,000 jobs countrywide since he took office, the president is widely popular. He blames Venezuela's ills on corruption, which in the past three decades has seen per capita wealth drop by 25%, a fall only superseded in the Americas by Haiti.
"We are tired. We don't even have jobs," said Yesenia Castellanos, 32, a street vendor in Caracas. "What we want is for Chavez to give us something, even if it's just hope."

This is a water color I did a few weeks back, I finally scanned it in and did a few minor edits on Photoshop. I don't have any place for image hosting, so I attached the picture as an attachment. Is there a way to add a photo to a post without having a URL? (I might just break down and make a Deviantart account). Let me know what you think! I'm just getting into water color, so this was kind of an experiment.

Sponsored Post: We have partnered with Java House, the makers of pure cold brew coffee made using time-honored, craftsman techniques, to share 5 ways to spruce up your morning coffee. Their liquid cold brew coffee concentrates can be enjoyed hot or cold for the best coffee flavor.
Whip up a quick Cinnamon Bun Latte the next time you need an afternoon pick-me-up. Cinnamon and a hint of vanilla pair flawlessly with coffee and cream in this delightful drink with sweet and spicy and everything nice.
Right now I am on a tear to visit new places in town, from coffee shops to craft cocktail bars to cafes.
We've had pizza, Thai, Peruvian, tapas and sushi, and a couple weeks ago we went to our first new-to-us coffee shop.
I used to be crazy about trying new coffee shops, but not anymore. I am finding I just don't make it out to cafés as much as I used to, so there are a ton of coffee shops on our list.
Instead, we made coffee at home. Two cups each, every morning. At least.
Sometimes, I need an extra kick of caffeine and I whip up a quick latte or iced coffee. I like to keep cold brew on hand for just these occasions.
If you've ever made cold brew coffee from scratch at home, you know it can be both messy and time consuming. If you buy it at the store, it's so expensive. That's why I was really excited to discover Java House ® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods.
These dual-use pods can be enjoyed either hot or cold at home. Totally game-changing!
What's also game-changing is you don't have to have a single-serve brewer. We don't have one, but we can still use these pods!
For hot cold brew coffee, you can either place the pod into a single-serve brewer and press the 8-ounce button, or you can empty it into a mug and top with 8 ounces of hot water for a rich, smooth cup of coffee.
For a cold version, you can peel open the pod, pour it over ice and add 8 ounces of water.
One thing I want to note is that cold brew coffee is not the same as iced coffee. The difference is in the brew, not how it's served.
Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water for at least half a day.
Yup, 12 hours or more. That's way longer than the usual cup of joe!
The taste is a lot different, too. Cold brew coffee is smoother and naturally sweeter, and the cold temperature of the brew pulls out rich chocolate and caramel notes.
Does it sound crazy to serve cold brew hot? It shouldn't.
It's actually a lot less bitter and less acidic. Overall it yields a naturally sweeter and smoother cup of hot coffee!
With Java House Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods, there are absolutely no preservatives, additives or coffee derivatives. Just pure coffee.
A 6-count box is around $6.99 or less and you can purchase online at Walmart.com, Target.com, Amazon.com and Javahouse.com or purchase in your local grocery store. Available at Walmart, Target and more. Visit javahouse.com for a complete list of retailers.
I used these liquid concentrate pods to create this Cinnamon Bun Latte for my next afternoon-pick-me up. While lattes typically call for espresso, these cold brew pods are strong enough and tasty in a latte.
The Java House ® pods come in four varieties: Ethiopian (light roast), Colombian (medium roast), Sumatran (dark roast) and Decaf (medium roast). I used the Colombian but you can use any of them!
For this Cinnamon Bun Latte, you start with a cinnamon vanilla simple syrup for sweetness and flavor. Top with two cold brew pods and warm, steamed milk. You can also use a handheld milk frother or an automatic milk frother.
I am not a latte foam artist by any means, but I am seriously obsessed with this drink. You can dress up the top with a sprinkle of cinnamon! Tastes just like a cinnamon roll.
Craving an iced latte? Just pour the Java House ® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods over ice and top with the milk.
Coffee has been a big part of my daily routine since I discovered it in high school. Two cups, every morning.
I also won't turn down an afternoon latte. Sometimes an afternoon pick-me-up is just the thing I need, and right now that's this Cinnamon Bun Latte.
These pods from Java House ® are just so convenient and I am so glad I found them. They are so versatile because you can enjoy them warm or hot, black or with milk, whatever you like!

"Screw up, don't freak, and learn."In theory, it sounds good. But when it comes to practical application, can you really screw up without freaking out about it? Can you really afford to make mistakes in your business or work on the expectation that you'll learn something new that may help you grow? The answer is yes, but only if you take a strategic approach to this growth-learning by rewarding failure.
"Rewarding failure means reassuring people that they're not going to be penalized for mistakes."Udacity's unusual celebrations with wine and champagne highlighted above are only two tactics in a much larger plan that supports and nurtures a growth culture at the company. The team's overall strategy for rewarding failure rests on three foundational principles that encourage experimentation and failure (through the right channels and with appropriate risk management) as a part of learning and growth:
- Show a culture that rewards failure. Simply telling your team that you applaud experimentation isn't going to help build the level of trust needed for people to try and fail. Especially if, despite what you say, you reprimand failed attempts either verbally or through actions. To earn your team's trust, you first need to demonstrate a culture that values learning from mistakes.
- Establish a common shared vocabulary around risk-taking. Not all risks will deliver great lessons. And some risks can simply be avoided through discussion of past experiences. By creating a common vocabulary around risk-taking, you create a mechanism that your team can use to explore new ideas fully before jumping in. What's the protocol or ritual for your team to evaluate new opportunities?
- Recognize small improvements. The worst thing you can do is not experiment. The second-worst thing you can do is set up an experiment that puts your entire business in jeopardy. Experiments should be small and serve specific goals. If the experiment works, you can expand accordingly. If it fails, you can take the lesson and add it to your collection of "things learned" to keep building your growth trajectory.

Pondering the inequities of the modern world leads inevitably to thinking about who owns the land. Puzzlement may swiftly be replaced by anger, as even a cursory reading of history reveals that most land has at some point simply been taken, whether by force or by legal processes (backed up by force) which favour the rich and powerful.
But while plenty of land has certainly been taken from those who thought they owned it, historically much more has been taken from people for whom the very idea of 'owning land' was entirely alien. Early European colonists in Africa and the Americas for instance often 'bought' land from the people they encountered, paying with goods varying from glass beads, to cooking pots, to guns and ammunition. These transactions were fraudulent and exploitative for many reasons. Perhaps most important, though, was the lack of any shared understanding or agreement about what exactly was being sold.
Feudalism to Enclosure
So where did this revolutionary idea that land could be exclusively owned by individuals come from? Andro Linklater claims to trace its origin with surprising precision to sixteenth century England, and the momentous move from feudalism to enclosure, driven initially by the massive profits to be made in the booming wool industry (see The Land issue 7).
Magna Carta in 1215 had essentially granted absolute rights to freehold landowners, with no balancing civil obligations towards those who might be living on the land. Soon after, the Statute of Merton (1235) guaranteed the lord of the manor's right to enclose common land. Building on this foundation, later landowners bent on maximising profits through enclosure started by removing peasants who had no tenancy agreements, then pushed off more formal tenants by raising rents to impossible levels.
Large scale enclosure was often resisted by the crown (as well as by the peasantry), feeding tensions that eventually led to the Civil War. But by the late sixteenth century, property owners in Parliament had forced through a new regime of property law, destroying the basis of feudalism and setting up a remarkably modern landscape of surveys, deeds, mortgages, conveyancing and inheritance.
"The hidden weapon of private property was paper ... everything was written down."
This was indeed a powerful weapon, as Linklater goes on to observe when considering later colonialism:
"The ability of paper-based structures of private property to harness the legal resources of an entire society, to direct them at a particular parcel of ground, and to offer financial rewards for success, simply overwhelmed the oral, local and conservative systems of communal land ownership that stood in their way."
A paper tiger then, perhaps: but one with a voracious appetite.
"In 1450 about 60 percent of the twelve million acres of farmland in England had been held by the crown, by the church, and by some thirty dukes, earls and barons. By 1700, the nobility, church and crown together owned less than thirty percent of the cultivated land. Almost three quarters of what had grown to be fourteen million acres of farmland now belonged to the heads of more than two hundred thousand families of gentry, yeomen and tenant farmers with land worth more than forty shillings a year in rent. Perhaps 150,000 more families rented less valuable properties. Out of a population that had increased to almost five million in 1700, almost two million had an interest in landed property."
Turning Land into Capital
This was the beginning of organised capitalist agriculture, aimed at selling a commodity rather than at subsistence. By the end of the seventeenth century, with farms averaging over 50 acres and still growing, England had irrevocably diverged from the peasant economies which still dominated the rest of northern Europe, where as Linklater puts it
"the self-sufficient goal of peasant agriculture remained as it was in the 1st century AD when the Roman farming authority Lucius Columella declared 'he is a bad farmer who buys what he can get his land to supply'."
"For most of history, most people have viewed their pasts and their futures as peasants. No other system of land ownership is so stable and widespread. ... What the skeleton is to anatomy, the peasant is to history, its essential, hidden support."
Only in England and its North American colonies had land become capital in this way. The transformation brought an 'agricultural revolution' in productivity, as measured by production of the desired commodities and profit for landowners. This in turn gave rise to a different variety of capitalism, built on competition, private property and democracy – for landowners. This version contrasted with the existing mercantile capitalism, seen most clearly in the Netherlands (though also in English trading monopolies such as the East India Company), which was much more tightly controlled by the state. Adam Smith was later to develop this new variant into a broader system of free-market capitalism, which aimed "to ensure that government set the conditions for free markets to operate, and prevent the evil genius of mercantilism sliding toward monopoly". As this formidable process unfolded, Linklater adds, "All those who might have challenged the solitary male owner's right to exclusive possession of the land were sidelined."
Diggers and Pilgrims
The Diggers, of course, play an important role in this story. Linklater notes there was "nothing new about trying to alter a society's values by changing the way its land was owned" – he cites for instance the egalitarian land redistribution undertaken by Roman Tribune Tiberius Gracchus in 133 BC. But Winstanley and the Diggers were the first to be explicitly seeking an alternative to the new and "fundamentally unjust" modern institution of land as private property. Despite their defeat, they were not to be the last.
At this point Linklater reveals, in a tantalisingly brief aside, that he himself "lived for longer than was sensible on communes in the United States and Europe, farming unproductive, steeply sloping fields locked away in the mountains, unwanted by their original owner". Along the way, he made the evergreen discovery that "it was not the group but the individual who actually ploughed the field ... some performed tasks better or more lazily than others." With obvious regret, he concludes that "Winstanley was wrong ... equal ownership entailed a surprising intensity of organisation, and policing of personal foibles."
Here speaks the disillusioned communard, learning the timeless lesson that living in community is not an easy path. It requires more confrontation of 'personal foibles' than solitude, not less. Worse still, it involves not only one's own foibles, but other people's. This can easily result in individualism reasserting itself – and Linklater produces a fascinating example.
The 102 pilgrims on the Mayflower in 1620, he says, were "communists": they had agreed to work the land communally. But the harsh realities of life on the land led to quarrels over whether those who worked harder should get more food, leading them in the end to subdivide the land into separate holdings. Neatly setting the scene for all that was to come later, "the first major democratic decision taken on American soil was in favour of individual ownership [of land]."
Subsequent waves of emigrants to America wanted to be sure they would also be able to own land individually. As religious men (for it was men who made such decisions) they wanted not just legal or political but also theological reassurance on this thorny question. This was provided by the new doctrine that although God had indeed created the world as a common treasury for all, enclosing and 'improving' land brought a civil right to own it as well as a natural right to occupy it.
This doctrine was later famously expressed by the philosopher John Locke, who worked as secretary to the colonial Lords Proprietors of Carolina from 1669-1675. This period obviously shaped his highly influential views on property, which are prefaced by the famous words "in the beginning all the world was America". As Linklater puts it
"It was from this unconstrained state, Locke argued, that private property spontaneously, naturally and inevitably occurred. [...] harking back to Winthrop's old Puritan thesis that labour itself created privately owned property independently of the common law. [...] By working a parcel of the earth and improving it, a person separated it from what had been shared and thereby acquired exclusive ownership. [...] The settler's natural rights of ownership came from their daily labour in clearing the ground of its giant trees, of planting rice and herding cattle, and of dealing with the emergency demands of floods, hurricanes and wars against Native American and Spanish marauders."
Of course, the Native Americans were not really the "marauders" in this story. Even Locke had to acknowledge that the 'right' to land ownership potentially applied equally to those forcibly dispossessed. But he (and others) got around this awkward fact by claiming that the people already living on the land had not really been doing anything useful with it. Traditional forms of managing land (as illustrated on our front cover), based as they are on working with it rather than 'improving' it, were largely invisible to the colonial eye. Linklater concludes:
"The violence of expelling indigenous people and taking the territory that gave them identity as well as feeding them was an injustice that should invalidate the moral argument for private property."
Was it Worth it?
But in a strangely utilitarian piece of reasoning, he then argues that the fact that conquered areas of the British Empire eventually saw great increases in population, and many good lives lived, must also be taken into account.
"both the sustenance of the extra lives and the improvement of their quality that were made possible by the change in the way the earth was owned must be entered into the balance ... the inhabitants of private property societies have claimed for themselves a degree of individual freedom unknown in other societies ... some of the dispossessed have been able to claim a similar freedom by regaining or being compensated for what they have lost".
Ultimately Linklater seems to propose a grand reassessment, facing history squarely in order to see whether the facts that have been created on the ground can be justified by having produced a net increase in human happiness. If not, then "without that moral basis, a private property society is inherently unstable" and eventually, as has happended so often,
"the resentment of the many despoiled have-nots will coincide with the ambitions of a sufficiently large number of have-not-enoughs to create a more or less viable democratic uprising."
Many would argue that a reassessment of the Lockean private property revolution need go no further than considering his famous proviso. Having argued that 'mixing labour with nature' creates private property, Locke says that this clever conjuring trick is legitimate only if there is "enough and as good left in common for others". This certainly is not the case today: but as Linklater acknowledges, it had already become impracticable even in colonial America by the early eighteenth century.
Selfishness and Fairness
This is a big book, about big ideas. But it is also very readable, and brim-full of fascinating historical nuggets. For example, in comparing private property with the two other predominant land tenure systems, peasantry and serfdom, Linklater explains the role of the mir council which organised life for the serfs at a communal level in tsarist Russia. Each family had its own dwelling and garden, but "in the interest of fairness, the mir periodically redistributed both land and grazing rights". It determined which crops should be grown and where, managing rotations and key dates in the agricultural year, all aiming at egalitarian redistribution.
"Thus, paradoxically, the autocracy of tsarist rule made possible for most Russians the communal life that Winstanley and the democratic Levellers had dreamed of."
Linklater enjoys this kind of paradox. He argues that "selfishness and fairness are both intrinsic to human nature", and makes much of the connection between private property and modern democracy. As Locke pointed out, those in the club of property owners have a strong incentive to set up social and legal frameworks in which all their interests are represented, and in the process to sacrifice some freedom to the state, in order to protect what they have. But the obvious problem is that those left outside the landowning club tend also to get left out of the democracy. This is arguably as true today as it was in the sixteenth century. Fortunately there are other, more genuinely egalitarian, ways of constructing and justifying democracy.
Private ownership of land, Linklater concludes, has been ruthlessly destructive, but very dynamic and hence also very creative. Many readers may feel that what has been created does not outweigh what has been destroyed. But Linklater does also identify a familiar tension – people who believe land should be held in common are nonetheless often pretty keen to get hold of a bit of their own.
Owning The Earth by Andro Linklater was published by Bloomsbury in 2014. All quotes are from the book.

Beauty is most often right in front of us. It's in the subtle breeze, the steam rising from your afternoon coffee at work, the grass your dog just peed on, and your dirty car.
If your heart is in the right place, you'll see beauty in everything. Sobriety has taught me how to get out of my own head. Fear is just a trap of the enemy, and I can beat fear by having a grateful heart.
I'm grateful for my stress at work - it means I have a job.
I'm grateful I have to do laundry - it means I have clothes.
I'm grateful to pay rent - it means I have a place to sleep tonight.
I'm grateful to be up at midnight writing this - because I remember being drunk & worthless at this hour, years ago.
Much of my life was spent looking through the lens of my own blurry eyes. Now I see life through the lens of a clear heart, and it's truly beautiful.
"God, thank you for this new way of life. Your creation is beautiful, intricate, and perfect. Today, I pray that your thoughts would become my thoughts - let your ways become my ways. Walk with me today, and guide me with your eternal presence. Thank you for the gift of today. Amen."

- I use celery for my morning juices, for my soups, for my salads and to prepare any of my fish dishes. I love celery!
- Celery has anti-inflammatory health benefits, including protection against inflammation in the digestive tract itself.
- It contains small amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A and some B vitamins. Its seeds are a natural diuretic, as well as a remedy for heartburn. One cup of celery provides about 6 percent of your daily fiber needs. It is an excellent snack between the meals.
- Did you know? That celery has also a reputation as an aphrodisiac, going back to the ancient Romans. Madame de Pompadour swore by celery and truffle soup.
- Most important after five to seven days, significant amounts of the antioxidants present in celery disappear, so make sure you don't store your celery for more than 5-7 days.
- 100 gr of celery has 15 kcal, 0 mg of cholesterol and 0,8 gr of proteins.

In Espoo, the metro is a significant driving force in our efforts to create a dynamic and competitive region for the growth and development corridor that is economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.
The West Metro growth and development corridor is expected to attract not just new residents but also new, knowledge-intensive jobs. The aim is to see 180,000 people and 85,000 jobs in the area by 2050. The metro line area does not merely represent intellectual capital but is also a beacon for smart and zero-carbon construction. The new area will attract investment and innovation across new products, services and digital solutions. A well-functioning and diverse urban structure and efficient public transport provision are some of the key considerations for people and businesses looking re-locate. Through our commitment to creating a sustainable city, we are on the driver's seat, with our route firmly set towards a prosperous and thriving future.
In order to truly deliver zero carbon construction and lifestyles, many parts of a wider puzzle will need to fall into place at the same time. Wood construction and smart energy solutions are some of the key pieces forming the bigger picture. In collaboration with a number of stakeholder groups, we in Espoo are in pursuit of new wood construction models and concepts that lend themselves to large scale, industrial application. Our local businesses and other partners have the drive and capacity to identify these new solutions and promote and enhance our competitiveness.
In energy policy terms, we are working closely with our commercial partners to achieve our goal of zero emission energy provision. In our vision for the future, Espoo will move towards a sustainable energy sector by ensuring that our technology and business solutions are capable of serving as a reference point for product and service standards internationally.
Our urban structure must be designed to be both high-density and highly effective, and make it possible for vital services to be delivered close to high-quality public transport provision. A high-density urban environment will also allow us to preserve biodiversity and make it possible for people to continue to enjoy access to nature and wildlife in their own local area.
The smart, low carbon construction solutions used at the West Metro growth and development corridor represent brand new opportunities for Finland's economic and environmental sustainability nationally.
Sustainability starts with collaboration. Espoo is open to innovation.

While it may sound like a gag – and was done with students who willingly particpated in its creation – the humor was lost among members of the Akron Board of Education. Even in case you are a kind of people, it is best to know that it is important for us to wrap our heads round 20j, the Headlee Amendment , plans for Detroit and Flint faculties (among others), funding for charter schools, and how funding for higher education interacts with the School Aid Fund. In the Nineteen Seventies, only about one-third of jobs required more than a highschool diploma.
They have some fantastic teachers that thankfully hold them away from the immoral Martinez, Cornell, Giallella and this Board of Education. Board member Sheila Daniels also objected to the fundamental tenet of the policy, and to the strategies by which the amendments were being provided. School programs that had spent a pittance on all-black faculties have been now obliged to invest considerably extra on African-American college students' schooling after the faculties grew to become built-in," wrote David L. Kirp, a professor of public coverage at the University of California, Berkeley. By making the bulletin board interactive, you now have yet another learning center.

Functional tests ensure that a development satisfies functional specifications, early detection of poorly implemented requirements or defects generated during the programming phase, always from a user perspective.
Our quality teams will use the testing process best suited to the client's development methodology, defining test plans for both desktop and mobile applications.
Our project management includes:
The design and execution of the plan test is based on the conception of the following types of tests:
They are the most candidate tests to be automated because they verify that the changes made to the software do not adversely affect other unmodified parts.
Identifying the different processes and modules of the application, we simulate the use of the application as a user would but from the point of view of a tester. These tests will also help us develop a test script.
The variety of operating systems, devices, browsers, etc ... existing on the market make it necessary to ensure the correct operation of our application on a certain number of them. Determining which combination is most efficient to use is another of the tasks we carry out together with the client.
These tests allow us to validate that two or more modules that we have previously checked maintain the expected behavior once they are connected.
We design a series of tests for the final user to certify that the application complies with expectations. These tests can then be used to form the final application manual.

Imagine the United States suspending Independence Day ceremonies for 36 years, or the French doing likewise with Bastille Day ceremonies. Imagine if the British government announced that, even for one year, there would be no Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph on November 11th. There would be national uproar in any of these countries. Yet, here in Ireland, just such a suspension occurred. There was no state ceremony to mark the 1916 Rising on what was then seen as the National Day of Commemoration, at the GPO on Easter Sunday, between 1971 and 2006 when it was reinstated.
By that time the idea of national commemoration had had its emphasis shifted away from remembering and commemorating the issuing of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic on April 24th 1916 and the week-long revolution that followed which fueled a partially successful War of Independence. In 1986 a new National Day of Commemoration was inaugurated, but this time it would mark all those Irish who gave their lives in war.
But the questions of 'what war?', and 'in the service of what interests?', and 'at what cost to others, including civilians?' do not, it seems, arise.
Should we simultaneously and equally commemorate the 86 members of the Irish Defence Forces who died on peace-keeping missions along with Irish men who signed up to Uncle Sam and went to visit horrible war on the people of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, with whom we Irish have no argument and no basis for conflict? Should the Irish state put the deceased Irish peace-keepers on a par with Irish men who were part of the British military machine as it exterminated those people that it could not subdue in Africa, in the Middle East, in Asia?
No doubt many Irish men have served honourably in wars that were themselves dishonourable. Of the two World Wars of the 20th century the first falls into that category – a war that was about national-imperialist supremacy and resources including colonies. Lured by the 'Defence of Small Nations' propaganda many Irish men signed up to do just that. Many others were compelled to sign up for economic reasons in the aftermath of the 1913 Lockout. Were the first group more honourable than the second group?
While the second of those World Wars was, on the face of it, a war to end German fascism – an honourable reason to fight, it was also about national-imperialist supremacy and resources including colonies. It was also about establishing supremacy in the ideological arena between capitalism and socialism, particularly the Soviet brand. Men who had fought, honourably, on the socialist side against fascism in Spain, and who were vilified for that, went on to fight German and Italian fascism, and were praised for that. But not praised at home.
And fascism, despite their courage and sacrifice, is alive and well and thriving today in Europe, and lauded by the US and EU when it is employed in the Ukraine to destablise Russia, and it seems that we are willing partners in that, even if we, the people, weren't asked if that suited us.
Neither were we asked if it was OK to send members of the Irish Defence Forces to Afghanistan as part of the 'Coalition of the Willing' in the war on the Afghani people, with whom we Irish have no argument or cause for conflict. If a member of that Irish contingent was killed in Afghanistan, would it be right to commemorate that person – part of a war on another people – on a par with any of the 86 deceased members of the Irish peace-keeping forces? Article 29 of the Constitution, flawed though it is, places us in the role of peace-keeper, not belligerent.
Commemorating all the Irish who fell in war, even particularly atrocious war, is a ridiculous concept. It is a fudge designed to get us out of the corner of remembering those who fought willingly or through coersion in the first and second of those two World Wars, and of remembering those who fought on either side in the Civil War, which we don't want to talk about in any event.
Those within the state apparatus who came up with that bright idea have no problem coalescing with the British establishment, a prime architect of global imperialist slaughter over the past two centuries, to run what purports to be our National Commemoration. But they do have a serious problem with commemorating 1916 and the foundational narrative of independent Ireland.
The pomp and ceremony for the Irish who fell in (any) war far exceeds the show put on for members of the political class at the GPO on Easter Sunday from which the public are excluded, barricaded and black-screened away lest they disturb their 'betters'.
One of the state institutions, RTÉ, plays its part in the elevation of the National Day of Commemoration over the insipid and essentially private 1916 Commemoration at the GPO. Coverage of the 1916 ceremony is usually relegated to the bottom of the schedule on the RTÉ news programmes on the day, whereas RTÉ provides a stand-alone programme of in excess of one hour covering the commemoration of any Irish man who fell in any war. RTÉ is at its core, demonstrably, a relentless propaganda tool for the Irish political class.
Tight control of meaning and of collective memory is hardly surprising in a state that not only fails to defend the integrity of one of the last physical remnants of the 1916 revolution – the GPO Battlefield Site including the National Monument in Moore Street – but seems intent on its virtual destruction to facilitate a bankrupt 'developer'. Preserve the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, put it centre stage in National Commemoration while destroying the fabric, the memory, and therefore the meaning of 1916. Both historic buildings and sites should be treasured, each with their own story.
Commemoration is always political. The absence of a state commemoration of 1916 at the GPO between 1971 and 2006 was political. The introduction in 1986 of a new and very differently focussed National Day of Commemoration was political. The decision to reintroduce the GPO ceremonies in 2006 was political, as was the later decision to turn it into an event from which the public were excluded.
The wheeze that is the Decade of Commemoration, initiated in 2012, fits perfectly into the same mould. Determined to undermine the power of our story of revolution and liberation struggle – and particularly of the Proclamation and its true meaning, the political class was handed a device designed to submerge the centenary of the 1916 Revolution under a sea of centenaries of secondary importance.
But the wheeze need not work. Commemoration does not fall solely within the remit of the state. There is the not insignificant body known as the nation – the people.
Commemorating 1916 – the Proclamation, the revolution and the revolutionaries – on its centenary, is safer in the hands of the people. It is a political act, best kept out of the hands of the political class.
As for commemorating any Irish man who fell in any war, best go back to the drawing board. There is an ethical question that looms large there. It is one that should define us. War-makers, or Peace-Keepers?

GM Models Rank Highly in J.D. Power Dependability Study
Lexus Takes Top Spot Overall; Ford, Dodge at Bottom of List
The J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Survey is out again, examining owner satisfaction for 2013 model-year vehicles. As has been the trend for the past several years, vehicle technology integration continues to drag down overall customer satisfaction and dependability scores, with Bluetooth pairing and voice command misinterpretation being the most common complaints.
In the SUV, MPV, Van, and Pickup segments, General Motors models won 4 out of the 10 segments, with the Buick Encore getting the highest ranking for the Small SUV category, the Chevrolet Equinox winning Compact SUV, GMC Yukon earning top spot in the Large SUV category, and Chevrolet Silverado HD winning Large Heavy Duty pickup. All four of GM's brands came in above the industry average of 152 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), with Buick getting the best score at 106 PP100. Buick was followed by GMC at 120 PP100, Chevrolet at 125 PP100, and Cadillac at 145 PP100. At the bottom of the list were Ford with 204 PP100 and Dodge with 208 PP100. The Toyota brand came in fourth at 113 PP100.
However, it's important to note that complaints and problems related to engine and drivetrain decreased from last year's survey from 26 PP100 to 24 PP100. The study also noted that seven out of the Top 10 problems reported by owners are design related and not necessarily a mechanical malfunction or reliability issue.

We are VERY excited to be partnering with the Appalachian Herb Growers Consortium, located in Pilot, Virginia! They are utilizing government funds to help tobacco farmers transition away from their previous crop and into the resurging world of Chinese herbs. The herbs that we are receiving from the consortium are very vibrant, fresh and full of Qi! They are helping us get closer to realizing our dream; the ability to offer locally-grown medicinal herbs, while also helping grow our local and regional economies.
Currently, it is difficult to find Chinese herbs used for medicinal purposes that are domestically grown. It is one of our goals at ALCHEMY to see that change. We collectively have lived in western North Carolina for over 20 years and are so proud of our community's local and organically based farming efforts. We now want to be a contributing force that makes growing Chinese herbs an economically viable local farming venture. We are establishing relationships with farmers in the area who are already growing Chinese medicinal herbs and we are thrilled to help those operations flourish along with us.

Queen's Gambit
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|1.d4 d5 2.c4
|before 1497
|Closed Game
The Queen's Gambit is a chess opening that starts with the moves:
The Queen's Gambit is one of the oldest known chess openings. It was mentioned in the Göttingen manuscript of 1490 and was later analysed by masters such as Gioachino Greco in the 17th century. In the 18th century, it was recommended by Phillip Stamma and is sometimes known as the Aleppo Gambit in his honour.[1] During the early period of modern chess, queen pawn openings were not in fashion and the Queen's Gambit did not become common until the 1873 tournament in Vienna.
As Wilhelm Steinitz and Siegbert Tarrasch developed chess theory and increased the appreciation of positional play, the Queen's Gambit grew more popular, reaching its zenith in the 1920s and 1930s, and was played in all but two of 34 games in the 1927 World Championship match between José Raúl Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine.
After the resumption of international chess activity following World War II, it was less frequently seen, as many Black players moved away from symmetrical openings, tending to use Indian Defences to combat queen pawn openings.
The Queen's Gambit is still frequently played and it remains an important part of many grandmasters' opening repertoires.[2]
|This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.
With 2.c4, White threatens to exchange a wing pawn (the c-pawn) for a centre pawn (Black's d-pawn) and dominate the centre with e2–e4. This is not a true gambit, as Black cannot hold the pawn, for example: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.e3 b5? (Black tries to guard his pawn but should pursue development with 3...e5!) 4.a4 c6? 5.axb5 cxb5?? 6.Qf3! winning a piece.
The Queen's Gambit is divided into two major categories based on Black's response: the Queen's Gambit Accepted (QGA) and the Queen's Gambit Declined (QGD). In the QGA, Black plays 2...dxc4, temporarily giving up the centre to obtain freer development. In the QGD, Black usually plays to hold d5. Frequently Black will be cramped, but Black aims to exchange pieces and use the pawn breaks at c5 and e5 to free his game.
After 1.d4 d5 2.c4:
- 2...e6 (Queen's Gambit Declined) (QGD) (ECO D30–D69)
- 2...dxc4 (Queen's Gambit Accepted) (QGA) (D20–D29)
- 2...c6 (Slav Defense) (D10–D19)
- 2...e5 (Albin Countergambit) (D08–D09)
- 2...Nc6 (Chigorin Defense) (D07)
- 2...Bf5!? (Baltic Defense) (D06)
- 2...c5 (Symmetrical Defense) (D06)
- 2...Nf6?! (Marshall Defense) (D06)
- 2...g6?! (Alekhine idea[3]) (D06)
Technically, any Black response other than 2...dxc4 (or another line with an early ...dxc4 that transposes into the QGA) is a Queen's Gambit Declined, but the Slav, Albin Countergambit, and Chigorin Defense are generally treated separately. There are so many QGD lines after 2...e6, that many of them are distinctive enough to warrant separate treatment. The Orthodox Defense and the Tarrasch Defense are two important examples. See Queen's Gambit Declined for more.
There are many other possible responses:
- The Slav Defense is a solid response, although many variations are very tactical. If Black plays both ...c6 and ...e6 (in either order), the opening takes characteristics of both the Slav and the Orthodox Defense and is classified as a Semi-Slav Defense.
- The Albin Countergambit is a sharp attempt for Black to gain the initiative. It is not common in top-level chess but can be a dangerous weapon in club play.
- The Chigorin Defense takes the game away from the normal positional channels of the QGD, and has been favoured by Alexander Morozevich at the top level; it appears to be playable for Black.
- The Baltic Defense is offbeat but playable.
- The Symmetrical Defense is very rarely played. Although it has not been definitely refuted, the play seems to favour White.
- The Marshall Defense is weak. Named after Frank Marshall, who was the first to devise the move, he briefly played it in the 1920s before abandoning it.
- 2...g6?! 3.cxd5 Qxd5 (3...Nf6 4.Qa4 +/−) 4.Nc3 Qa5 5.Nf3 Bg7 6.Bd2 c6 7.e4 Qb6 8.Bc4! Bxd4 9.Nxd4 Qxd4 10.Qb3 Qg7 11.0-0 +/− (Minev).[4]
If White chooses to fianchetto his king's bishop, the game transposes into the Catalan Opening.

Happy midweek everyone.
My favourite thing to wear during the rainy season is ankle boots. In fact, I think it's fast becoming an obsession. Like if I could, I would buy and wear ankle boots everyday. And what's not to love about them. You can wear them through all seasons. Paired with tights or pants, they are just warm enough for the cold season. And when the hot weather checks in, a short dress again with ankle bots will do just fine.
Also, you might have noticed that I moved away from my everyday bun. Yeah, my friends thought it was time to mix it up, personally buns work with everything for me, so I went to Youtube University of styling and it was more than helpful. The styling in my previous post was especially a head turner. I will however bring back the bun one last time, before I bid adios to my braids *tear tear*.
My #Fearlessly Fashionable sweatshirt was custom made by Robi- 0710949965. He does really cool stuff. I love supporting Kenyan brands, and especially the up and coming. I hope you like the photos.
My outfit;
Sweat shirt- Robi
Skirt- Bridget's Fashion House
Shoes- Ngara
Bag- Gikomba
Rings- Dubois
Earrings- Old
Thank you for reading guys. Have a good week and as always, STAY FEARLESS.
PS: I have a project coming up next week that I hope you guys will like so look out for that.

I own an apartment in Fabro, Terni, Umbria. I need to buy two large area rugs for the living room and a large bedroom, a recliner chair, and a clothes dryer. The rugs and chair can be new or used if in good condition. Any suggestions on good places to shop, good local markets, or publications to check? I will be there for 3 months beginning early September. Thanks.
For both your questions try www.subito.it

I should have responded
I should have responded earlier since I returned to the US last November. We found a good selection of area rugs and good prices at Leroy Merlin in Perugia. The recliner was purchased at Mondo Convenienza, also at a good price and also in Perugia. The clothes dryer was finally purchased at Sinergy in Chiusi after major problems trying to get one online through Prezzoforte. Sinergy (located in the Etrusca shopping center) was a little expensive but had great service. Can't wait to get back to Fabro in April!
Buon giorno. I saw your
Buon giorno. I saw your query on the site. We are a retired couple who owns a home in Ficulle. Fabro is our "go to" spot. Looks like you are doing a good job sourcing items for your apartment. We have also used Maison du Monde.
How is your Italian???? Do you have any thoughts/leads on Italian tutors locally (Fabro/Ficulle). We are always trying to migliorare our Italian but it is slow going. We are turning mid March and will remain through part of April. Feel free to get in touch. Best, Lisa

I used to do this, and still do to some extent, but my scribblings are
usually illegible-- I try and write too fast and don't get that many
symbols. Sometimes I hit a good string of ok looking stuff though.
I used to 'speak in tongues' fairly regularly for fun, without much
religious connotation. I would even occasionally say things to people
'in tongues' and then translate for them, just giving them the
sentiment with which I had spoken my nonsense. The fact that it had
religious associations allowed me to do it without feeling too out of
place, but ultimately I guess that seemed deceptive so I only do it
now when I'm walking alone. Also I'm much more conscious now of the
phonology and that makes it less fluid. :D
At that time I believed there was some fundamental 'rhythm' to truly
meaningful speech, which, if I learned and taught to a computer, would
allow it to converse with people without having to learn English, just
by continuing the fundamental rhythm of the conversation. I know now
to call this 'statistical properties' instead of 'rhythm', and, well,
they have their limits.
I do try to borrow words from this for my conlang, but mostly I don't
think that's going to work out so I'm limiting it to a favorite or
I wonder. I always did associate the scribble writing with the
speaking. Could I possibly stretch the 'speaking in tongues' instinct
so far as to be able to associate a phonology with my nonsensical
writing? I'd almost have to record myself talking as I write and then
go through later with IPA and try to piece together an orthography...

I greet you in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach YHWH Jesus Christ! My name is Aaron Dominguez. I was called to the Lord's International online Ministry of Evangelical End Time Machine on August 17, 2014. There are over 3000 messages of Jesus Christ given to His anointed Prophet, Benjamin Cousijnsen, by holy angels and sometimes the Lord Himself, brings His message personally! Prophet Benjamin Cousijnsen is also from the tribe of Benjamin. The Lord's messages are mainly about End Times Prophecy, as the Lord Himself, unravels the mysteries of the Old and New Testament Prophets, of the Bible, concerning the End Times and His Imminent return! Plus, the Lord Jesus Christ reveals answers to many questions we have about our personal lives and gives words of encouragement and prayers of strength and power, so that we are more than conquerors, in Him! Many answers the Lord has given to the world, such as, Who the Antichrist and the False Prophet, of the book of Revelation? The Lord has already revealed the Mark of the Beast, the RFID chip and that many Americans have already been chipped! The Lord has revealed the Christian persecution around the world and the secret death camps, or FEMA camps that have already been built, to exterminate Christians, who refuse the Mark of the Beast! Plus, the guillotines for the beheading of Christians were made right here in America, by the command of the Antichrist himself! The Lord has revealed through His Prophet, Benjamin Cousijnsen, that the fallen angels are already here on the Earth, with us, and their plans to take over humanity, have already been set in motion! However, the Lord Jesus Christ has spearheaded this action, by revealing the plans of the Antichrist, the False Prophet, of the book of Revelation and the rest of the fallen angels, so we can combat against them, by the truth and knowledge. 2 Corinthians 2:11 In order that no advantage be taken of us by satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes. The Lord has not left us ignorant concerning the signs of His Imminent return, nor of the schemes of the devil. Through His Prophetic Word, the Lord has revealed to us, through His Prophet, Benjamin Cousijnsen, we are more than conquerors! I say the heavenly blessing to you, Ruacha, Yeshu, Shalom!

Cooper Zeitz Engineers for GSA Region 10
In planning for several projects that may affect the utilities system throughout the Auburn complex, the GSA needed detailed information for all utilities on the site. This information was critical in preparing a comprehensive maintenance plan, and for properly planning and executing future construction projects and utility improvements. White Shield provided topographic survey services to support this comprehensive study that thoroughly documented the type, location, and condition of all utilities within the GSA Auburn complex. These services included ground truthing all accessible utilities (water, sewer, storm, fire, telephone, electrical, and gas), and categorizing the condition of storm and sewer structures. Incorporation of the ground truthing findings was provided in CADD files showing "found" and "absent" elements on layers for each utility.

Every now and then, I like to subtly switch things up with my organizing. In my last post, I was super excited to see all the acrylic organizing items now available at HomeGoods. Well, during that same trip, I came across an acrylic bracelet holder and I thought that by adding a few of them to my dresser, then I could display and organize my bracelets instead of digging for them in their current containers.I got one from HomeGoods that day for $7.99 and ordered the other two from The Container Store, which you will find here. I ordered the necklace and bracelet stand, even though I wanted to use both for bracelets. Check out my before and after pics below and let me know what you think! Do you often reorganize to make it more appealing?
|AFTER: I decided to show you the finished product first!
|BEFORE: This is how I used to have my dresser set up. I love the glass canisters, but I had to dig in them to find bracelets.
From top to bottom: Bangles, bracelets and bling!
