|My changes to the pattern, shown in red on the layout diagram.
Sewing the pattern pieces together was easy; the difficult part for me was the binding on the scalloped edge. Is there a nice way to do all those sharp corners? I just stretched and folded as I went, but it looks pretty wonky. I also found the directions on how to attach the scalloped edge to the rest of the skirt really confusing. Maybe I'm just too used to instructions with diagrams? Except that I don't even use the diagrams half the time. Anyway, I figured that a straight line up the side would look weird, and I was pretty sure that I wasn't supposed to do fourteen snaps, so I ended up topstitching the scallops up to the designated line. The buttons I used are most decidedly non-1912, being plastic and all, but they were the best combination of cheap+black+not too horrible.
|They don't look as plasticky as some of the others, I promise!
|I left the top three scallops open and sewed snaps to the tip of each scallop. To close the top, I sewed in a hook and bar with an additional snap to the side. Also, I only own light pink seam binding.
The inner waistband calls for a canvas bias strip as interfacing; I was so tempted to just use iron-on interfacing, but in the end I decided that I should do it right. Thankfully, there was a large piece of floral home-dec canvas in my bag of donated fabrics (along with the red corduroy I used for my corset). It does make the waistband nicely sturdy. Unfortunately, the shape of it doesn't help much with getting the skirt to stay above my natural waist.
|This is what the wrong side of the facing looked like before I flipped it down and tacked it to my seam allowances. I still have a bunch of that fabric left. I thought about making it into another bag, but it screams "mom with a diaper bag" to me.
As for the hem, at first I wanted a floor length skirt, but besides being impractical, it also seems to be inaccurate. After some consultation with pictures from 1912, the ladies at the 1912 project Facebook group, and several screenshots of Season 1 of Downton Abbey (yes, yes, I know, TV is a horrible place to do research), I decided to hem the skirt to brush the top of my instep. In order to do so, I ended up needing to eliminate one of the scallops, so now I have 13 scallops instead of 14. Were Edwardians superstitious about the number 13? Anyway, my hem is a little over three inches deep. I folded the top edge over, stitched it on machine, and then catch-stitched it to the skirt. It was my very first time doing a hem by hand (thanks to this helpful video!), not to mention trying to make it show as little as possible on the right side! I think I did pretty well, considering, and I'll even confess that it was a relaxing experience. I think I'll be doing this on all my skirt hems from now on, unless they're circle skirts. Thankfully, the final circumference of the skirt was only 62" and catch-stitches are quite ground-covering.
|Weee! So pretty! Also, it is ridiculously hard to photograph and then edit dark blue fabric so that you can see any detail.
|On the other side: almost invisible!
Diagrams of the skirt courtesy of the Vintage Pattern Lending Library's page about the skirt. Pictures of me wearing this skirt will be posted tomorrow, assuming my husband gets home today while it's still light out!

We get questions everyday about dyeing our cotton canvas. Painting with a thick dye paste is one of my favorite dyeing techniques. A dye paste allows you to control where the dye goes unlike a liquid dye. It only requires few supplies and is simple to do. The dyes and paste I use can be used on any of our cotton canvas fabrics. (not Sunforger, Waxed Canvas or Canvak) In the video I experiment on our #12 Cotton Duck and #4. Dye paste can be used to screen print with dye as well! You can get crisp detail without the dye bleeding or running. There is so much fun stuff to do with it! We hope you like this quick video. Check out the links below for specific materials used.
Here are the links to the materials I use in the video:

The orthodox view of a wave and wave motion is centered around a sine wave or similar configuration. In general this wave model is a measurement of a quantity and/or polarity of energy, sound pressure or sound power (amplitude), viewed over time, as the wave passes a sensing device such as a microphone. Empirical measurements have been made of pressure or power fluctuations over time and a plotting of these measurements creates the typical sine wave form. There doesn't seem to be much said about the nature of that wave itself or the Positive or negative phase. Of which parameters, SVP sees numerous attributes and dynamics. Orthodoxy does recognize that during the Positive or compression phase the media substance does compress or bunch up then in the negative phase the media disperses or rarefies. Orthodoxy erroneously assumes this periodic gathering together and dispersing of the media substance is due to physical forcing of the particles together or them somehow pulling away from each other during the rarefaction phase. In Figure 8.2 - Compression Wave Phase Illustration are shown both models, a sine wave shown above a compression/rarefaction illustrations with matching phases.

WHO/WHAT: Signing of "Tadaima! I Am Home: A Transnational Family History" by award-winning historian/documentarian/author Tom Coffman. This newly published book from University of Hawai'i Press unearths the five-generation history of a family that migrated from Hiroshima to Honolulu, but never settled. "Tadaima! I Am Home" begins and ends with Stephen Miwa of Honolulu, a fifth-generation member of the Miwa family who is trying to learn about a shadowed reference to his family name: "The Miwas are unlucky." Coffman's research traces the family back to the founding sojourner, Marujiro, a fallen samurai. With one foot in Japan and the other in America, they attempted to build lives in both countries, facing the challenges of internment, a civilian prisoner exchange, the atomic bomb and the loss of their holdings on both sides of the Pacific.
WHEN/WHERE: Saturday, Jan. 26, 1 p.m., at Barnes & Noble in Ala Moana Center.

Fighting for his life in one of the most closely watched congressional races in the nation, U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., broke with President Donald Trump on birthright citizenship.
Curbelo appeared on "CNN Newsroom" on Thursday and expressed his opposition to Trump saying he was open to issuing an executive order on citizenship.
"Let me start here," said CNN's Jim Sciutto. "You, as a Republican, a rare voice, contradicting the president very directly on birthright citizenship. What is your message to the president on this?"
"My message to the president is the same message we had for the past president,"
Curbelo said. "You cannot change laws, you certainly cannot change the Constitution by executive order. If the president wants to have a debate about this issue, if the president wants to point out some abuses in this area, that's okay, and that's something we could have a discussion about. But the president alone cannot change this policy, and it is law, and it is protected in the Constitution, that those of us who are born in this country are citizens of this country, and that's it. There is nothing more to discuss for now."
"The president has claimed his White House counsel has advised him that he does have the right to do this, not clear who is referring to since Don McGann is already on his way out, and he has not been replaced by his replacement yet," Sciutto said. "But do you suspect that this is just political performance art on the part of the president, days to an election to raise this where even the president himself – does not actually believe he has this capability?
"It's possible, but here is what I have to say to Republicans," Curbelo said. "They would be wrong and hypocritical if they didn't call this president out on this issue the same way they used to criticize President Obama when he used to draft executive orders and sign them, even though they contradicted existing laws. We have to be consistent, we have to be honest, and I think that's the broader point about what we need in our politics today.
"Most Americans, believe it or not, are middle of the road," Curbelo added. "You wouldn't believe it from watching some of these rallies on either side, and most Americans want the country the politicians to figure out issues like immigration, and we know that if we're gonna to figure it out, we need a compromise. We need more border security; we also need a path to citizenship to DREAMER's young immigrants brought to our country as children. This is what most people in our country crave for, and regrettably, it's not what our political system is yielding. I think we need fewer rallies and more conversations, more dialogue in this country to tackle and address the big issues and challenges that face them."
First elected in 2014, Curbelo represents a swing district where Democrats have been gaining, especially in presidential elections. However, while Hillary Clinton routed Donald Trump 57 percent to 41 percent here back in 2016, Curbelo blew out former U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, D-Fla., 53 percent to 41 percent in the same election.
Democrats have high hopes for community leader Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and she does have the support of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in what is expected to be one of the closest congressional races in the Sunshine State.

Urinary incontinence is the uncontrollable leakage of urine causing a social or hygienic problem and is objectively demonstrable. It is under diagnosed, under reported and affects an estimated 13 million adults in the United States, with approximately 85% of those affected being women.
30% of elderly individuals living at home and as many as 60% of assisted- care facility residents are incontinent. Disturbingly it has been estimated that a mere 5% of independent incontinent individuals and 2% of incontinence assisted- care facility residents receive appropriate medical evaluation and treatment. Additionally incontinent patients suffer an average of 8 years before seeking medical therapy.
Urinary incontinence has a tremendous negative impact on a person's quality of life resulting in depression, increase incidence of fall and fractures, and both social and physical isolation. And although urinary incontinence increases with age, it is not a natural consequence of aging.
There are four main types of urinary incontinence in women:
- Stress Incontinence: Leakage of urine during physical activity such as laughing, coughing, sneezing and exercise.
- Urge Incontinence: The "gotta go, gotta go" leakage which occurs with a sudden uncontrollable urge to pass urine. (this is a subset of Overactive Bladder-OAB)
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both conditions above — stress and urge incontinence.
- Overflow Incontinence: Leakage occurs when the bladder cannot adequately empty itself and urine simply leaks out when the bladder is overfilled.


text: ACADEMIC PAPERS Multilateral development banks, new developmentalism and local currency financing Cinthia Bechelaine e Luiz Carlos Bresser-PereiraNeste websiteMultilateral Development Banks (MDBs) are designed to finance investments to promote global economic and social development. The objective of this paper is to discuss a key component to meet the demand for investment from developing countries, which is the ability of MDBs to provide loans in local currency rather than in foreign currency. To explain how these institutions fulfill this purpose, we distinguish "traditional" from "new" MDBs, discuss the problems generated from foreign currency indebtedness and explore a way out, or an alternative explanation, based on New Developmentalism theory and local currency financing challenge.

Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information Act gives you the right to ask any public body for all the information they have on any subject you choose. Unless there's a good reason, the public body must provide the information within 20 working days. You can also ask for all the personal information they hold on you. Everyone can make a request for information – there are no restrictions on your age, nationality, or where you live.
You can ask for any information at all – but some information might be withheld to protect various interests which are allowed for by the Act. If this is case, the public authority must tell you why they have withheld information. If you ask for information about yourself, then your request will be handled under the General Data Protection Regulations.
As an independent provider of health services (defined as an NHS Business Partner), however, FDS Consultants is not a public authority and therefore does not need to comply with all aspects of the Freedom of Information Act (2000). However, for those services that we operate on behalf of the NHS we are required to respond under the FOI Act.
If you would like to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please contact NHS England. When asked for information by NHS England, FDS Consultants will comply with all requests that are not commercially confidential or in breach of the guiding principles of the General Data Protection Regulations (2018). You may also contact us directly, stating that you are making an FOI request, if you believe that your request relates to our services.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us.
More information on the Freedom of Information act can be found on the DirectGov website. You can link to it here.
Data Protection
You might be interested in our privacy policies and data protection processes, including information on how we process your data. You can find out more by visiting this page.
Can I access my personal information?
You have the right to get a copy of the information that is held about you. This is known as a subject access request. This right of subject access means that you can make a request under the General Data Protection Regulations to any organisation, including ours, processing your personal data. Under the Act FDS Consultants are 'data processors'.
You can ask us, to supply you with copies of both paper and computer records and related information. From the 25th May 2018 there is no charge for this information. However it is important to remember that not all personal information is covered and there are 'exemptions' within the Act which may allow an organisation to refuse to comply with your subject access request in certain circumstances.
It is important to note that we do not hold your dental records we only hold information on your referral(s).
How do I make a request?
To make a subject access request, follow these steps:
When requesting your personal information from us, you should include the following information:
- your full name, date of birth, address (including previous addresses) and contact telephone number;
- your NHS number (if available)
- the URN number of the referral or referrals you are interested in
- proof of identity, for instance, a copy of your passport or driving licence
- proof of address, for instance, a utility bill
- details of the specific information you require and any relevant dates
You also have the right to ask about any logic involved in any automated decisions made about you. The dental referral service does not use any automated decision making processes in how you access care.
Please send your request in writing by posting it to us at the address below. Please tell us how you would like us to send the information to you – using email or post. Both carry risks, so consider who else may have access your email or your post.

What Makes A Good Persuasive Speech Topic?
College students often struggle with writing persuasive speeches and even more, they struggle with finding good topic ideas for their performance. In fact, it is not that easy to define which topics for a persuasive speech will be interesting, not only to your audience but also for you because the idea should also be significant and relevant. Where do you look for persuasive speech ideas for college? There are many ways for a student to select a good topic. However, to save time and rid yourself of the boring and tedious work, the best specialists from our speech writing services online have prepared a list of 60 great persuasive speech topics for you! All topics are organized into categories. Thus, we are confident that each of you will find something interesting for yourself.
However, before we can get to our list of persuasive speech ideas, we want to give you an idea of what makes a particular topic good for your speech and also give you a few tips that can help you choose the best topic!
Many factors influence the effectiveness of the chosen topic, but here we will discuss the top three:
- It should be significant – the topic has to be important, people have to care about it and it should also be understandable to your audience;
- It should be familiar to you – in-depth knowledge of the selected topic, as well as your interest in it, are the keys to success, which is why you have to study your topic fully;
- There should be a balance – one of the biggest mistakes that university students make when writing a speech about yourself is running to extremes – they choose too controversial, too difficult, or, on the contrary, too easy persuasive speech topics, which is a big mistake!
That is what makes a certain topic good.
Top 60 Good Persuasive Speech Topics
"About what should I write me a speech?" – This is a question that every person faces before writing a speech for any purpose. To save you some time and energy we have prepared a list of the best ideas which will teach you how to write persuasive speech.

Be bear aware
Being outdoors means being with wildlife. Many people never encounter a bear. But if you do, here's some simple advice:
- Remain calm.
- Group together and pick up small children.
- Continue to face the bear and back away slowly, talking calmly to identify yourself as a human.
- If the bear continues to approach, try to scare it away by making yourself as large and imposing as possible by stretching your arms overhead and making loud noises.
- Carry and know how to use bear spray, which is available at many outdoor retailers and can be used to deter a charging bear.
Food Storage
Bears are always searching for food. Bears are curious, intelligent animals that have great memories. Their eyesight is similar to humans and their sense of smell is seven times more powerful than a blood hound's, enabling them to smell food from miles away.
Those are the very traits that can sometimes get them – and us – into trouble. Most bears are wary of humans and try to avoid them. However, bears can learn to associate people with food and be tenacious in their pursuit of something to eat. Even if humans are around.
Everyone in bear country must do our part to store food and other attractants in bear-resistant containers at all times, and dispose of trash in bear-resistant dumpsters.
Bears remember and recognize familiar food sources like favorite berry patches, decaying logs swarming with delectable insects, and streams and rivers teeming with fish that provide much needed fat and protein.
But bears also remember human packs, campsites, and dwellings offer tempting options. While bears are attracted to any edible food, they also might try to feast on items we might not consider edible:
- toothpaste
- shampoo
- lotion
- soap
- cooking utensils
- empty cans
- wrappers
- coolers
- pet food
- bird seed
- garbage
- petroleum products (including fuel)
For more information on food storage, visit the Bear-Resistant Food Canister page.
There are three species of bears living in North America:
Black bears (Ursus americanus) are the most abundant and widely distributed of the three species of North American bears. Black bears vary in color from jet black to cinnamon to white, although black is the color encountered most frequently. Given the number and extensive range of black bears in North America, this is the bear species you are most likely to encounter during your visit to the national forests.
Brown bears and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) are the same species, even though there are notable differences between them. "Brown bears" typically live along the southern coast of Alaska where they have access to seasonally abundant spawning salmon. The smaller "grizzly bear" lives in the northern and interior areas of Alaska as well as the northern Cascades and Rocky Mountains of the lower 48 states.
Polar bears live in the arctic and are not found in any of our national forests.
Here are more tips to help you stay safe while visiting bear country. Know more about bear interactions by contacting the camp host or district ranger at your national forest or grassland destination.

Lindsay Lohan Talks about her Miscarriage on her Show's Season Finale
On Sunday night, Lindsay Lohan revealed some shocking news on the 2-hour season finale of her OWN reality
TV show – that she had a miscarriage during the show's filming. This is way beyond any watch funny videos
online and will never be on any funny prank videos.
Time to Rest
When the Mean Girl star was asked to give her take on her experience on the show, she said that during the
time she had taken a much-publicized two weeks off, she wasn't slacking off, but recovering instead, from a
miscarriage that she had suffered while filming the show. She revealed that she needed the time off to recover
both physically and mentally, as her miscarriage took quite a toll on her. Lohan hasn't revealed the name of the
person that fathered the child. She does not want to be involved in any more celebrity news gossip videos.
Tough Times
On the verge of tears, during her final confessional, she said that she couldn't film because she was sick and
couldn't move, contrary to the rumors that were doing the rounds about her holding up production. In a recent
interview, the starlet said that she found it tough to see people who were getting frustrated about why she wasn't
continuing shooting her reality TV show. She was not out performing any street bike stunts or involved in any
skateboard fail compilation that is for sure.
She said that when she watched the series, she can relate to the girl on the screen, and wonders often, if anyone
is helping her.
Lohan has been battling an addiction to drugs and alcohol for years now. The show, that chronicled her life,
began filming just four days after she was released from her sixth stint in rehab last summer. This will have
been her sixth rehab stint in six years and none of this will be on any funny news bloopers or shown on any
latest funny videos.
She spoke about her addiction on the show saying that it is her biggest fear that her addiction will make her lose
everything she has worked hard for over the years. According to Lohan, her addiction is a scary disease just like
some people are addicted to watch free music videos.
Brighter Days Ahead
Unlike most popular shows on television that either highlight the funny prank videos, or the best stand up
comedy, this reality TV show is a take on Lohan's life as she tries to recover from her addiction and get her life
back on track. Lohan is optimistic though, and says that she has been eagerly looking forward to shooting a new
film in June. She said that she is finally happy, and claimed that one of the most important things that she has
learned from her experience on the reality TV show is that her work ethic is different, and that she finally has
that fire back in her.

We're not sure we could advocate smashing your treasures. But that's exactly what Alison Moyet did recently when she moved. She destroyed all her diaries, stage clothes, even her gold albums.
Essex-born Moyet became one of Britain's biggest music solo stars in the 1980's and branched out to writing, theater and more albums showcasing her bluesy voice. But she's also known for being down to earth even though she's sold over 25 million albums.
But given all that, Moyet is remarkably lacking a passion for nostalgia. In an interview with Aidin Vaziri's SF Gate, Moyet talked about the release of some new music and a concert in San Francisco. Along the way she moved house and decided that her personal and professional memorabilia were not necessary in her life, and she dumped it all.
Q: Before you moved house this year, you smashed all your gold albums. Why was that necessary?
"A: I just didn't want clutter. I just wanted to get rid of it. I'm not a nostalgic person. I wanted to live the remainder of my life as part of the real world, not a marketable commodity. Thinking of yourself as something collectible is really unhealthy. It's nonsense."
This is not the first time we've heard of celebrities not wanting their awards front and center (some use them as doorstops!) You can read more from Moyet's interview on SF Gate.
There are many options to get rid of unwanted items.
- Trash, recycling;
- eBay, consignment or auction house;
- College Hunks Hauling Junk or 1-800-Got-Junk;
- Donation through a Charity.
Moyet seemed to choose the one that best suited her. Each option has it's surrounding issues (time consuming, costs money) but in the end, you've got to do what's right for you in the time frame that you are comfortable doing it. As a professional organizer, we carefully guide our clients to make decisions to move their life forward and celebrate their best, no matter how they choose to do it.
What did we miss?
What do you think of Moyet's nostalgia kick-off? Could you do it? What ways do you recycle your clutter? Let us know here in the comment section or you can tweet us @johntrosko on Twitter. You can also check me out on Instagram.

Before I begin, I just want to say that I do not always agree with Sylvester Douglas, Lord Glenbervie's opinions, and there's something about his character that I find unsettling. Nevertheless, as he was a first-hand eye witness viewing Pitt's attraction to Eleanor Eden (Lord Auckland's eldest daughter), his account is more credible than that of others. I much prefer, whenever possible, to cite direct references to events rather than secondary sources, even when I don't necessarily agree with the author.
On that note, in The Diaries of Sylvester Douglas, Lord Glenbervie, Vol. 1, Lord Glenbervie records a weekend visit spent at Lord Auckland's house at Eden Farm, near Bromley in Kent. Pitt was also there. Here's what Glenbervie has to say:
"Nov. 20, Sunday, 12 o'clock, Eden Farm - On arriving here yesterday we found Lord Auckland's carriage ready to carry him to dine at the Duchess of Hamilton's, who has a small lodge in the neighbourhood, in her brother's park. It had been settled that I was to go with him, and we found there Dundas and Lady Jane, Pitt, Mrs Bennet and a Miss Muir, who lives with the Duchess. Pitt had dined and slept here [Eden Farm] the night before, and returned here with us last night after supper. He has been here five days in the week every week for the last two months [so presumably since at least September 1796]. The world supposes he is in love with Miss Eden." [1]
Then the next day:
"Nov. 21, Monday, 10.30 am, Eden Farm - From Pitt's manner in a walk we took yesterday, his constantly sidling up to Eleanor, and particularly his reluctance to go away and various pretexts for staying beyond an hour when he told us he was engaged, I am now persuaded he is in love and means to marry her [Eleanor]. George Wilson said the other day, on our mentioning the report [that Pitt was intending to marry Eleanor Eden], that he thought there would be great levity in his [Pitt's] thinking of love and marriage just at this critical moment of public affairs. The first reflection raised by this remark was on the almost cynical severity of Wilson's character. But I have since begun to agree with him. How strange it would seem, and how offensive perhaps to the public both in England and Europe, if it was to be known that almost every day since the recess of Parliament the man on whom rests the interest of so many, the fate perhaps of this and future generations, the main burthen of the contest between the Allies and the French, have been spent here [Eden Farm] in idleness and lounging and the Minister's [Pitt] mind chiefly occupied with a passion which employs his thoughts the more from his awkward backwardness to speak, or his yet unsettled resolution on the subject." [2]
Many others were also persuaded that Pitt was going to marry Eleanor Eden. After a dinner on December 7, 1796, Glenbervie records:
"We dined at the Chancellor's. After dinner Lady Loughborough asked Lady Katherine [Glenbervie's wife] if she believed in Mr. Pitt's marriage; that all Pitt's friends believe it will be a match; that she thinks all very right, except the father-in-law [Lord Auckland]. She added that she had said the other day to Mrs. Drummond (Dundas's daughter), "How long do you think my husband and your father will continue in the Cabinet if this marriage takes place?" There was a good deal of sagacity in the question, enough to indicate the reflections of a greater politician than Lady Loughborough." [3]
To me, this passage indicates that Lord Loughborough, and perhaps even Dundas, as it will be seen, feared and disliked the idea of Pitt marrying Lord Auckland's daughter. Auckland was not well-liked, and perhaps they worried about the amount of influence Auckland could exert over Pitt if he became his father in-law.
From the same diary entry of December 7, 1796, Glenbervie goes on to reflect about Dundas's uncomfortable silence in Auckland's presence when they were all recently at the Duchess of Hamilton's and Eden Farm:
"When we were at Eden Farm about ten days ago, the conversation turned, at breakfast, on the Dundas's. Lord Auckland said he thought Dundas out of spirits, which Pitt denied having observed. We all agreed that he [Dundas] was never much of a talker. Pitt qualified it by saying, "Never in a mixed company," but added a strong instance where the only company was himself, William Grant (the King's Counsel), and Dundas. He [Pitt] said, after being himself for some time at the whole expense of the conversation, he had stopped and waited to see if either of them would begin any subject and that he literally waited without effect, a dead silence having prevailed for all that time." [4]
Finally, a further entry of Lord Glenbervie from December 21, 1796 bears out Lord Auckland's tendency for political intrigue. It also alludes to the reservations other leading politicians may have rightly been expressing concerning a potential marital alliance between Pitt and Eleanor Eden. That day, Glenbervie, Auckland, and Mr Lowndes were appointed by Pitt to discuss the subject of Pitt's Poor Bill. Pitt's intention was to move to bring the bill forward in the House the following day:
"While Pitt was out of the room and Lord Auckland remained there tete-a-tete, I asked him if he was going to have the Privy Seal. He said, "I do not know what I am to have. I am of Pitt's opinion that everything comes right in time. We shall all be satisfied if things go right. If they do not, we must share the common fate. I am not impatient...If this Treasuryship of the Navy could be opened it would make an arrangement for us all very easy." I infer from thence that he not only is intriguing for himself to have that office, but that he supposed I was apprised in some degree of some negotiation, or at least some plan of Pitt's respecting it. But I do not think Dundas will easily quit his hold of an office which from so long enjoyment he must consider in a manner as his estate, and I should be very sorry, and should think Pitt very unwise, if he were to urge any arrangement in a manner unsatisfactory to Dundas." [5]
What can we glean from Glenbervie's observations? He certainly wasn't close to Pitt. He was, however, a direct observer of a small part of Pitt's time with Miss Eleanor Eden, and he had certainly not been alone in his assessment that Pitt was in love with her. After seeing Pitt with Eleanor, Glenbervie goes as far as writing those observations explicitly. Why then, didn't Pitt marry her? Some may conclude that Pitt never married because he was not attracted to women. That in and of itself, especially given the time in which Pitt lived, was not a motivation to stop men from marrying. In fact, marrying would have bolstered Pitt's reputation. It did not necessarily stop others! His health and financial reasons have also been suggested as deterrents. Pitt's pecuniary circumstances were certainly alarming, and that argument holds more weight. To me, some of Glenbervie's journal observations in November and December 1796 seem to bear out the potential argument that any martial alliance Pitt made with Auckland's daughter could have been ruinous to him politically. Dundas and Lord Loughborough seemed to have their reservations of Auckland, and Auckland himself so much as directly states to Lord Glenbervie that he wants Dundas's position (or the Privy Seal). A marriage between Pitt and Eleanor Eden would place Auckland in a position of power and influence over Pitt as he would have become Pitt's father in-law.
The country was in a precarious state, and the war with France was going far from well. Taken in all, Pitt was in a far from ideal position to consider marriage at that time. In the end, on January 20, 1797, Pitt wrote to Lord Auckland notifying him that he wouldn't be marrying his daughter. Pitt was not specific in his reasoning, but if Auckland himself was a major barrier, Pitt would not have disclosed that to him. Although Pitt did not marry Eleanor Eden, and there's no documented references that they ever saw each other again, it does not follow that he didn't love her. Without intending to sound cheesy, maybe love just wasn't enough of an inducement for Pitt.
In my next post, I will be quoting directly from passages of Pitt's initial draft letters to Lord Auckland from when he broke it off with Miss Eden. These draft letters have, to my knowledge, never been published, and they will strike the reader in a vastly different light from the final watered-down letter Pitt sent to Auckland. Stay tuned.

It's not easy to keep ego in check. Even in the church. You've likely noticed that too. I have those little thoughts of self-importance that subtly slither through my mind looking for a place to call home. It starts with a crack in a door. The next thing I know suitcases are being unpacked, and we are acting like best friends. In reality, when ego unpacks it's like letting a stray dog move into the living room—life gets messy.
It may not feel all that bad at first, but the more comfortable we become with inflating our importance, the messier life becomes. Projects and progress get held hostage when we don't get the credit we think we deserve. And when others are praised publicly, we whisper criticisms, fully convinced we could have done it better if we had been given the chance. Messiness spreads when our ego is allowed to run rampant.
The truth is, we don't have to let the stray dog run rampant. Relationships don't have to be marred by jealousy, a critical tone or little whispers behind another's back. With the right perspective, we can foster a work life known for a living room experience where people enjoy working and learning together. That's how it should be in God's church.
Three ways to keep our ego in check:
1. Hold Loosely What Has Been Entrusted to Our Care
We have been given a role to steward on behalf of a cause that is greater than you or me. If we are going to keep our ego in check, we must resist huddling defensively in a corner holding tightly to what we have. Instead, our posture should be outstretched open hands as we seek to give our best with what we have. Those who cling will clash, but those who collaborate find clarity.
The church, of all places, needs to model and embrace humility.
2. Adopt a Growth Mindset
Cultivating an insatiable appetite for learning helps us keep a healthy perspective. There is so much we don't know, and that means there is a world of new things to learn. When we adopt a growth mindset, we are choosing to be teachable. You will know when your ego is in check when you are willing to learn from others. If you sense a resistance to learn from those younger than you, why not try reverse mentoring? Seek out a younger person to teach you something new. A growth mindset values the learning process and refuses to allow ego to stand in the way.
Church communication is lonely enough as it is. Don't make it worse by allowing ego to hinder your growth and connection.
3. Submit to the Spirit's Leading
Our actions and attitude communicates where we are with God. When his Spirit is leading us, others will see the fruit of the Spirit in our response. Submitting to him keeps our ego in its proper place and enables us to respond with love, gentleness, goodness and temperance. We all need to self assess regularly to ensure we are submitting to the Spirit rather than suppressing his leading.
This is true for every ministry in the church, but with all our plans, strategies and new technology, communication is perhaps more susceptible to forgetting.
Moving Forward
Fostering a humble disposition is an on-going process of submitting to God's Spirit. There will still be times when we create a mess because of pride. When we mess up, the fastest way to clean up and restore a damaged relationship is to own the failure and humbly ask for forgiveness. This gets the stray dog out of our living room and into the doghouse where it belongs.
So, I wonder, do you have any strays you need to get out of your living room?
Certification Lab
It's great to get a shot in the arm (or in this case, an ego deflation) from experienced mentors. That's what our upcoming event, the Certification Lab, offers. It's a two-day, intensive workshop event, limited to 50 participants, so you can get small group interactions with expert church communicators, including Gerry True. Register today.
We do important work—sharing the gospel—but that doesn't mean we can work ourselves to death. Learn more about how to fight church communicator burnout.Photo by John Chandler.
