The observant among us will have noted that 2023 ended on a Sunday. For those who believe Sunday marks the end of the week, this seems like a logical day to end the year. But why do we find these types of phenomena satisfying? Is it slightly obsessive or should we strive for this symmetry in our daily lives? The bigger question might be: is it even possible to produce neatness in our messy world? In this week's episode, we discuss neatness. We debate which day is the first day of the week, and discuss the universal three-act structure, epicycles, special relativity, Kolmogorov complexity, prime numbers, crosswords, emergent complexity and the metric system. Finally, we share our best and worst attempts to impose neatness on the world around us. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - Kolmogorov Complexity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity - Sabbath https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabbat - A Mathematician's Apology: https://archive.org/details/AMathematiciansApology-G.h.Hardy For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com

Networking is essential to personal, professional, leadership, and brand development. It has been said that our network can help determine our net worth and there may be an element of truth to that. No one person can make it through this life all on their own. We need each other in some way, and it's imperative that we master the skill of playing well in the sandbox with others. That said, this episode focuses on ways that we can build relationships and nurture our network in ways that would prove to be valuable to those we are connected with. In it, I mention my amazing friend, Dee who is a book retailer

The 5S Methodology In today's podcast, we'll be discussing the 5S Methodology. So - stay tuned. You can find the show notes to each episode, links to the information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com. If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to. It's based on exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips. And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible. And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast! The 5S Methodology Many of the topics we cover here on Warehouse Safety Tips get repeated after a while. The reasons for this are simple. There are only so many tips and procedures to share - and many of them bear repeating. The 5S Methodology is one of those topics. If you were to list things that would make a facility run as smoothly as possible - the following items would certainly be on it: There's a place for everything - and everything is in its place. Waste is kept to an absolute minimum. Productivity is at its maximum. Cleanliness is a top priority. Safety is top of mind. There's always room for improvement! Even though you may not have known it - if you're facility has some or all of these items, it's probably implementing The 5S Methodology (6S - to include safety). Henry Ford had a method around 1920 called "Can Do" - which stood for Cleaning up, Arranging, Neatness, Discipline, and Ongoing improvement. The 5S Methodology we know today was developed in Japan after a team from Toyota visited Ford in the 50s - and is widely considered to be the base component of Lean Manufacturing today. The S's that make up the 5S Methodology are: Sort (Seiri) Straighten (Seiton) Shine (Seiso) Standardize (Seiketsu) Sustain (Shitsuke) Each step is designed to help workers identify and remove unnecessary items from their workspace and streamline their processes, which helps to increase efficiency and reduce costs. We'll be going over each one in detail over the next several weeks. Until then - thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Have a great week, and STAY SAFE!

Should you be neat and tidy? The Soul's Home® ingredient – Neatness is often misunderstood so let's take a soulful approach. There's a common assumption that neat is good and messy is bad. But to the soul, this isn't necessarily true. Many brilliant people thrive on messiness. Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein and Mark Twain all had chaotic workplaces. For many geniuses, what looks like a tangled mess is actually fuel for their creativity. For others, that same mess is a creative block. To approach the Soul's Home® ingredient – Neatness soulfully ask, “Do I need order, or creative chaos to nourish my soul?” Make sure your answer comes from your soul not, your ego. If you're messy your ego wants you to stay messy because it's afraid of what will happen if you tidy up. If you're neat, your ego wants you to stay neat because it's afraid of what will happen if you loosen up. Allow your soul to decide if neat or creative chaos will set you free. For me, what feeds my soul depends on what phase of my soul's work I'm in. When I create, I make a mess by surrounding myself with everything that could help me. And, I might not shower, make my bed or put away the dishes for days while I focus all my energy on birthing my idea. But when I'm done creating and ready to show the world, I clean up and organize so I'm effective in carrying out my vision. What about you? What do you need for your soul to fly high? If your soul needs organization but you have chaos or you need a mess but have organization, your spiritual work is cut out for you. We'll address what happens if you live with others who are opposite from you another time. But for now, the soulful key is to be respectful of your differences and agree on what areas of the house will be messy or neat. I hope you'll be able to find a soulful balance between neat and messy because I want your home to feed your soul. If you want my help finding your Soul's Home®, I'd love to talk with you. Just click Contact Me to get in touch. Next time, we'll address fears about moving. Until next week, I wish you well on your journey.
Nathan is joined by Amanda McLeod, Chair of the National Handwriting Association, and Dan Wright, Deputy Headteacher and SENDCo, to discuss improving handwriting for all. What is it we are looking for from handwriting? Neatness? Speed? Fluency? Automaticity? Nathan asks what does the research say and are we being research-informed? They discuss the sort of barriers that pupils can face when we're looking at handwriting. And, what sort of things can be done? What interventions work? What about motivating learners and does giving out pen licences work?
Nathan is joined by Nicky Parr @nicky_parr from Better Handwritten and Sue Smits from @MorrellsHand Handwriting discussing Handwriting and why we need to worry about it in a digital age. They discuss the Halo Effect, people (exam markers) making assumptions about academic ability because of handwriting and whether handwriting be too perfect? Nathan asks what is it we are looking for from handwriting? Neatness? Speed? Fluency? Automaticity? They also cover the big discussions on whether or not to teach lead in strokes, Pencil grip, and Pen licences. They discuss potential barriers for pupils and what can be done about them.

Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and cookie expert, joins us to discuss her new cookbook, Baking With Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple. Apple Pandowdy Makes 6 Servings A PANDOWDY'S A PIE that's got only a top crust, often one made of odd-shaped pieces of dough—the dessert was probably created to put pastry scraps to good use. My favorite way to make it is to cut triangles of pie dough and arrange them in a mishmash over the fruit. Neatness is never the point with a pandowdy—it's the haphazardness, the dowdiness of the pie, that makes it beautiful. When you bring it to the table, break up the crust, let it fall into the filling and then spoon out into bowls. You can put spices in the filling, but I hope you'll try this spare lemon-up-front version first. Having apple pie without cinnamon may seem un-American; in fact, it's unassailably good. I make this dessert throughout the year with whatever fruits are plentiful. FOR THE FILLING⅓ cup (67 grams) sugar2 medium or 1 large lemonAbout 2½ pounds (about 1 kilo;) sweet, juicy apples, such as Golden Delicious, Fuji or Gala (4 to 6 large)2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces FOR THE CRUSTOne 11- to 12-inch round All-Butter Pie Dough (see below), frozen or well chilled (or use store-bought pie dough; look for dough that's already rolled out)Milk for brushingSanding or granulated sugar for dusting Ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional) A WORD ON THE CRUST: Instead of cutting out shapes from the dough, you can just lay the whole crust over the fruit, moistening the rim of the pie pan first, pressing the dough against the rim and then tucking the overhang under the rim or against the sides of the pan. Cut slits in the crust and at serving time, crack the crust into the fruit. TO MAKE THE FILLING: Put the sugar in a large bowl and grate the zest from the lemon(s) over it. Reach into the bowl and use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until the sugar is moist and fragrant. Peel and core the apples and cut them into chunks about ½ inch on a side or into slices that are about ¼ inch thick. Add the apples to the bowl with the sugar and squeeze over the juice from the lemon(s). Toss everything around in the bowl until the apples are coated with sugar and juice. Set the bowl aside, stirring now and then, while you preheat the oven. Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 425 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie pan and put it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Give the apples a last turn and then pile them into the pie pan—don't forget the juices in the bowl. Dot the top of the apples with the butter. TO PREPARE THE CRUST: Lay the chilled round of pie dough on a cutting board and, using a pizza wheel or a knife, cut it into pieces. I usually opt for triangles of various sizes and shapes, but long strips and squares work, as do rounds made with cookie cutters. Place the pieces of dough over the apples in whatever pattern pleases you—I usually go for haphazard. It's nice if you leave a little space between the pieces so the juices can bubble over. Lightly brush the dough with milk and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake the pandowdy for 20 minutes—the crust might get a little color and the juices may just begin to bubble. Turn the heat down to 375 degrees F and continue to bake until you can see juices bubbling all the way to the middle of the pan, 25 to 35 minutes more. If the crust seems to be getting too dark too fast, loosely tent the pandowdy with foil or parchment. Place the baking sheet on a rack and let the pandowdy cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. The pandowdy is good warm or at room temperature and very good with either ice cream or whipped cream. STORING: Like most pies, this is meant to be eaten soon after it's made. However, if you have pandowdy left over, you can keep it covered at room temperature for up to 1 day and rewarm it in a 350-degree-F oven before serving. Playing AroundIn fall and winter, I make pandowdy with apples and pears (traditional and my favorite), sometimes with dried fruit tossed in. In the spring, I make it with rhubarb, with or without strawberries. And in summer, I turn to blueberries or mixed berries, peaches, nectarines, even plums. Use your favorite fruit pie filling recipe, but don't use any thickeners. All-Butter Pie Dough Makes two 9- to 9½- inch crusts 3 cups (408 grams) all-purpose flour¼ cup (50 grams) sugar1½ teaspoons fine sea salt2 sticks (8 ounces; 226 grams) unsalted butter, frozen or very cold, cut into small piecesUp to ½ cup (120 ml) ice water Put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to blend. Scatter the pieces of butter over the flour and pulse the machine in long spurts until the butter is well incorporated. This could take more than a dozen blitzes. Add the ice water a little at time, processing after each addition. Stop when you have moist clumps and curds (you may not need all of the water)—don't process until the dough forms a ball; pinch a bit of the dough, and it should hold together easily. Turn the dough out, divide it in half and shape each half into a disk. Working with one disk at a time, flour a sheet of parchment paper, center the dough on it, flour the dough and cover with a second sheet. Roll the dough into a round that's between 11 and 12 inches in diameter. (The rolled-out dough can be wrapped well and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months). If the dough is cold enough, fit it into a buttered pie pan (or the pan you're using); leaving whatever dough hangs over the edge. If it's not cold, chill it until it's workable, then fit it into the pan. Keep the second round between the sheets of paper and slide it onto a baking sheet. Freeze or refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (If you have not refrigerated or frozen the rolled-out dough earlier, you can refrigerate the unbaked crust for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 2 months.) Follow the directions in the recipe you're using for filling and finishing the crusts. If you're making an open-faced pie and need a partially or fully baked bottom crust, either crimp the dough that's hanging over the pan to make a decorative edge or trim the excess dough even with the rim of the pan and press the tines of a fork against the dough. Piecrust should always be cold when it goes into the oven. GETTING READY TO BAKE: Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 375 degrees F. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and fit a piece of parchment or foil against the crust; fill with dried beans or rice. TO PARTIALLY BAKE: Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully remove the paper or foil and weights and bake for another 3 to 4 minutes—you want the crust to be firm, but it doesn't need to take on much color. TO FULLY BAKE: Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully remove the paper or foil and weights and bake for about 8 minutes more, or until the crust is beautifully golden. Transfer the crust to a rack and let cool. STORING: The rolled-out crusts or the unbaked pie shells can be wrapped well and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. You can also freeze baked crusts (in the pans) for up to 2 months. Excerpted from BAKING WITH DORIE: Sweet, Salty, & Simple © 2021 by Dorie Greenspan. Photography © 2021 by Mark Weinberg.

Does it really matter? How you do one thing is how you do everything!
What a beautiful group it was tonight. We finished letter 23 and began letter 24. St. Theophan continues to discuss with Anastasia the nature of spiritual zeal and its impact upon our souls. It is the fire that purifies us and it also gives us perseverance and diligence in the pursuit of the things of God. This zeal leads to a renewal of the mind and a renewal of the spirit by grace. It leads us to renounce our sins and the affairs of the world; encouraging us to seek to make our lives a living sacrifice - holy and acceptable to God. In letter 24, St. Theophan begins to lead Anastasia into a vision of what setting aside the old person and putting on Christ looks like. It involves a willingness, in love, to give ourselves over to the workings of grace and also to labor for it ourselves. We have been given all that we need to perform the surgery necessary to remove all vanity and passions in the soul. In this we must have the greatest courage and not pity ourselves. God will not force us to take this path but invites us to willingly give ourselves over in love. This link will take you to a PDF of the text referenced (and written) by Fr. Chirovsky during the group. ---- Text of chat during the group: 00:44:49 Eric Williams: Also, the Campus Crusade for Christ organization rebranded and now goes by Cru. They might still be around, but under that new name. 00:46:10 Adrienne DiCicco: My sister's in Cru on her campus. I'm a little skeptical, but it seems like it may just be a step in her faith journey. 01:00:23 Wayne Mackenzie: If you have a copy of the Orthodox study bible, the footnote expands on the comments made by Fr, Ivan. Romans 12: 1-2 01:17:50 Daniel Allen: i over analyze everything 01:21:29 Ren's Kingdom of Neatness and Organization: Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.” 01:25:07 Edward Kleinguetl: Thank you, Ren 01:26:23 Fr. John (Ivan) Chirovsky: i have sent the article which I wrote on Romans 12:1 to Fr David.

Tonight we completed letter 17 and began letter 18 of the Saint to the young Anastasia. Once again St. Theophan works very hard to keep the young woman focused, so that she does not lose sight of the simple yet comprehensive view of the Christian life and fidelity to the gospel. God is served and loved in what is right before us and in those that He has put along our path. There is no station in life, no set of circumstances where God is absent. We must not think in an abstract way about our faith but rather seek to embrace the smallest things with love, seek to receive the grace of God in the smallest actions with gratitude. As the Gospel tells us, God entrusts us with small things and when we have embraced these with love and fidelity only then will He entrust us with greater things. There's a kind of hubris that we fall into as Christians in imagining ourselves doing great things or extraordinary things as the Saints. We don't realize that the sanctity is found simply in mortifying our own will, and setting aside our ego. Love begins at home and in caring for those standing before us. All of us must hold onto the “one thing needful” - to subordinate all things to the spiritual. It is the love of God that orders all loves. It is the desire for God that orders all other desires and brings us to experience the joy of the kingdom. ---- Text of chat during the Zoom meeting: 00:34:10 Eric Williams: Theophan's description of individuals doing what they ought having great effect in aggregate reminds me of Smith's Invisible Hand acting in markets. "By pursuing his own interest [an individual] frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good." 00:38:12 Louise Alfer: Some of the greatest saints were porters...St. Andre and Solanus Casey 00:39:59 Eric Ash: I remember also reading of saints in Europe that dreamed of being sent to mission in the New World but were kept to minister in their home countries instead. Seems to have worked out, they became saints after all 00:45:55 Eric Williams: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." 00:47:54 Fr. John (Ivan) Chirovsky: Eric, that was the gospel last sunday in the Byzantine lectionary (Third Sunday after Pentecost) with the epistle from Romans helping to define God's righteousness. 00:57:48 Eric Ash: Maybe I'm the only ignorant one that had to look it up but darning a sock is to repair a hole usually by sewing by hand. 00:59:25 Natalia Wohar: On this topic of saints, I recommend a recently released movie called A Hidden Life about Blessed Franz Jagerstatter : ) 01:04:20 Ren's Kingdom of Neatness and Organization: Active love is a harsh and fearful thing compared with love in dreams. Love in dreams thirsts for immediate action, quickly performed, and with everyone watching. Indeed, it will go so dar as the giving even of one's life, provided that it does not take long but is soon over, as on stage, and everyone is looking on and praising. Whereas active love is labor and perseverance, and for some people, perhaps, a whole science. - Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky 01:04:42 Eric Williams: Who says we don't run out screaming? ;) 01:07:46 Eric Williams: Man, this group really serves as a necessary examination of conscience. Being patient and gentle, loving people who are difficult to love, is a major struggle for me. As anyone who knows me is aware, so is biting my tongue. 01:08:26 carolnypaver: Group Spiritual Direction. 01:17:48 Katharine: P.S. I'm guessing the bookbinder girls were doing pro bono (or very poorly paid) work to manufacture pamphlets or tracts containing progressive ideas/propaganda instead of supporting their mothers. 01:18:52 carolnypaver: Thank you, Katharine! 01:19:54 Mary McLeod: Thanks everyone!

Brevities #OTD Today is the birthday of the Landscape Architect Nathan Franklin Barrett, who was born on this day in 1845. Instead of joining his father's dye company, Barrett went his own way. After serving in the Civil War, BarrettLearned about plantsBuyWorking in his brother's nursery. In 1866, the field of landscape architecture was brand new – just a baby - and there is no prescribed coursework or preparation. Like many Landscape Architects, Barrett secured work as a town planner. He laid out the town Dolgeville New York as well as Pullman, Illinois (now located in Chicago). The town of Pullman was named for George R Pullman, who was one of Barrett's closest friends. The planning Barrett carried out in Pullman became one of his proudest achievements. Pullman was the country's first planned industrial town. Gardeners will enjoy hearing about Barrett's personal home garden in New Rochelle. Set on half an acre, Barrett designed his garden in an attempt to show others how to maximize a small space. Listen to the various areas and gardens he managed to install in his modest yard: "[an] old fashioned Colonial garden, Japanese, Roman, and Moorish gardens, and English topiary work. His cellar... opened to the garden level and through which a long vista continued. [Barrett] also created a Normandy peasant's sitting room, a German peasant's kitchen, [and] a Pompeian Court. A little brook at the rear of the property... added picturesque effects, and the garden was replete with pleasant little nooks and surprises at every turn." And, one newspaper shared a description of Barrett's wild planting tendencies: "The Poppy and the Ground Ivy, and Creeping Charlie and Myrtle mingle together; the Aster and Goldenrod feel at home; Ferns and Mosses are used liberally, and while abandon is aimed at, there is 'method in the madness,' and the wild garden and the formal play their part, each enhancing the charm of the other." Barett co-founded the American Society of Landscape Architects and served as its president in 1903. Barrett worked all over the country, and when he retired, he had practiced Landscape Architecture for 50 years. By the time Barrett died in 1919, he had been the oldest living Landscape Architect in the United States. In 1902, Barrett went to Los Angeles to give a speech on Landscape Architecture. Sadly, he caught a cold and lost his voice, so his speech was read for him, and the entire talk was shared in the newspaper. Here's my favorite excerpt - it's where Barrett addresses the spaces where living areas connect with shopping areas, how good Landscaping should mask the sides of ugly buildings, and why maintenance is a vital habit: "The line between the store and the residence is a battle line. As the business increases, the residence is forced back. The only remedy for this in sight is to make the transition as inoffensive as possible. [And] let us ask the object of taking the valuable space In the city for lawns. Is it not to relieve the buildings? I think so. Therefore, we should plant large trees to take away the mass of masonry which must necessarily exist in both house, sidewalk, and street. Bull Street, Savannah, Ga. has always appealed to me, where the walls are covered with Ivy. The old parts of Norfolk, Va., where the Ivy makes a coping two to three feet thick and hangs down over the wall, is excellent. ...[And] the pushcart picking up rubbish is as Important as the trees and flowers. Neatness is as contagious as a new bonnet, and a clean face becomes a habit and is an excellent rivalry to encourage. " #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the Landscape Architect Calvert Vaux ("Vox"), who died on this day in 1895. Vaux was born in England, but he came to the United States at the age of 24 to work on landscape projects with Andrew Jackson Downing. Together, they planned the grounds around the Capitol and the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington. After Downing's untimely death, Vaux named his second son Downing in honor of his partner and friend. Vaux went on to work with many talented people during his career, including Jacob Weidenmann and George Radford. When Calvert Vaux came up with the idea for a public competition to design Central Park, he teamed up with Frederick Law Olmsted, Senior. Together they created a plan they called Greensward, and while they worked on Central Park, Vaux first coined the term landscape architect to describe their profession. And, it was Calvert Vaux who said that his goal for Central Park was to “translate democratic ideas into trees and dirt.” Since Olmsted and Vaux worked so well together, after Central Park they designed Prospect Park in Brooklyn, South Park in Chicago, and the New York Reservation at Niagara Falls. By 1895, at the age of 70, Vaux was living with his son in Brooklyn. He had a morning ritual of taking a walk - often going to visit Prospect Park. But, on this day in 1895, the weather was foggy, and Vaux decided to walk the pier along Gravesend Bay. Two days later, after his kids reported him missing, newspapers shared this description: "Missing since Tuesday. Calvert Vaux. Aged seventy years; four feet ten Inches; medium build; gray hair and full beard; ruddy complexion; wore blue overcoat with velvet collar, blue trousers, dark mixed undercoat, no vest, black derby hat; wears gold-rimmed eyeglasses; shirt has name on it." The following day Vaux's body was found in Gravesend Bay. Like his dear friend Downing, Vaux had drowned. At the end of November, the Statesville Record And Landmark out of Statesville, North Carolina ran an anonymous tribute to Vaux that read in part: "Calvert Vaux was in his line one of the most famous men in the world.... Calvert Vaux created Central Park [and] people who have traveled all over the world say that no park in any foreign city is so beautiful. But, the Brooklyn folks say that their own Prospect Park is handsomer. Yet that, too, was "created" by Calvert Vaux. It was he who soothed nature's rough places and touched up and brightened her attractive features. In Prospect Park, however, nature left little for man to do. But Central Park is almost wholly artificial, and it's beautiful vistas of hill and dale, of lake and wood, are largely the work of Mr. Vaux. Probably a statue of him will be erected in Central Park. Certainly, his name ought to be perpetuated in the most enduring of stone." Unearthed Words On this day in 1850, the British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, became the Poet Laureate. "If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever." Today is the anniversary of the death of the American poet and Catholic priest, John Banister Tabb who wrote: Indian Summer Tis said, in death, upon the face Of Age, a momentary trace Of Infancy's returning grace Forestalls decay; And here, in Autumn's dusky reign, A birth of blossom seems again To flush the woodland's fading train With dreams of May. Autumn Gold Earth in the house, and the golden-rod A-bloom in the field! O blossom, how, from the lifeless clod, When the fires are out and the ashes cold, Doth a vein that the miners know not, yield Such wealth of gold? It's time to Grow That Garden Library with today's book: Adventures of a Gardener by Peter Smithers. Sir Peter Smithers, was a British politician and diplomat, but also an award-winning gardener. He worked as a British spy during World War II. Smithers was said to have inspired the fictional character of James Bond. His obituary stated that: "Flowers were ... important to him. [He said] “I regard gardening and planting as the other half of life, a counterpoint to the rough and tumble of politics." Smithers learned to love the natural world from his nanny. It was when he was in his 50s, that Smithers was finally able to focus on horticulture and botany fulltime. Smithers loved rhododendrons, magnolias, tree peonies, lilies, and wisteria. He developed a garden that didn't require a ton of work - along the same lines as Ruth Stout. He wrote: “The garden is planted so as to reduce labor to an absolute minimum as the owner grows older.” Today's book was the brainchild of the RHS - who asked Smithers to write his gardening memoirs. Thanks to Smither's travels, he had observed gardens in England, Mexico, Central America, and Switzerland. And, Smither's followed certain principals to help ground him as he pursued the hobby of gardening. He wrote: "It shall be a source of pleasure to the owner and his friends, not a burden and anxiety." This book is part-autobiography and part-garden book. Smithers shares stories from his incredible career like the time he was serving in naval intelligence in Washington when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. And, George Coen commented, "He's as comfortable talking about [his career] as he is in explaining the behavior of wasps in a flower garden." This book came out in 1996. It's considered somewhat rare. You can get a used copy and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for as low as $13. Today's Garden Chore Use place card holders to help you remember the names of your houseplants. If names like Schefflera or Hoya keeps slipping your mind, hop on the labeling bandwagon and use place card holders to label your plants. I used to practice saying the names of my plants as I watered them. When they finally rolled off the tongue, I moved on. Now I use the labels just because I think they're pretty. But, every now and then, when I get a new plant, they still come in handy. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist Thomas Meehan who died on this day in 1901. Meehan was born in England to a gardener and his wife and raised on the Isle of Wight. He trained at Kew and then immigrated to Philadelphia. Although Meehan ultimately became known as the Dean of American horticulture, there was a charming little story that took place when Meehan was in his 40's. Drexel University shared itin 2018. When a curatorial assistant at the botany department at Drexel, named Elana Benamy, was digitizing plant images, she came across an image of milkweed - which is pretty common - but what made her take a double-take was the date and location of the plant specimen. The plant was labeled "Battlefield of Gettysburg, August 20, 1863." The battle in Gettysburg had occurred during the first three days of July. So this specimen had been gathered about seven weeks after the battle, and about five weeks after Frederick Law Olmsted had walked the field. Elana asked, "Can you imagine why on earth would someone be out plant collecting [there]?" As it turns out, the reason made perfect sense. The collector was Thomas Meehan. At the time of the civil war, Meehan had worked for Andrew Eastwick, who was the owner of Bartrum‘s garden in Philadelphia. Afterward, Meehan opened up his own nursery in Germantown. In 1853, Thomas's younger brother, Joseph, had come to the United States from England. The younger Meehan brother was working in the greenhouses for his brother when he enlisted to fight in the Civil War. As the battle of Gettysburg began, the younger Meehan was taken prisoner; but with the defeat of the army, he was given battlefield parole on July 4th. Historians now speculate that Thomas' brother, Joseph, might still have been at Gettysburg, or Thomas might’ve gone out with him on a botanizing trip there. In either case, 33 years later, Joseph would write a beautiful account of the landscape around Gettysburg in an article for a gardening magazine called Battlefield Flowers: Floral Treasures of Gettysburg. Apparently, both brothers, who had made their homes in the city of brotherly love, had inherited their father's love of plants. Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
During a parent teacher interview, I shed some light on why neatness counts for a parent who is sure that neatness doesn't matter. ChalkMarkEd is a little podcast that shares tales from the classroom. I talk about they never told you about in Teachers' college.
Do you remember the exact age? Maybe it was the year you bought your home or the day you got married. It might have been the result of something traumatic like the loss of a family member or a joyful moment like the birth of a child. There is a finite amount of time in this world. Our attention is limited. We reach a certain point in our lives and additional effort either seems too hard or just not worth it.It is not at all uncommon.Read the original article here: https://goodmenproject.com/guy-talk/queer-eye-marie-kondo-and-the-stagnant-self-rbmke-cmtt/

Neatness is overrated. More relevant are questions of productivity and effectiveness rather than how pristine your office space is. CONSIDERATIONS: Are you a serial (single thought processes) or a parallel (multiple trains of thought) thinker? Do you have separate private thinking spaces (which you can keep in whatever way works for you) and public meeting spaces (which you can keep in pristine condition for meetings with prospects or clients)?
