Pematangsiantar March 7 th , 2018 My Dear Marthin, Loving you is so easy. There are so many reasons why I love you… The little things you do, the simple gestures you make, the feelings and thoughts that you share with me. I adore the way you look, the way you move, and your infectious smile. There are so many things to love about you! Do you know I love it when you daydream and you think no one is watching? Do you know I love the way your eyes sparkle when you tell a funny story? Do you know that I love the shape of your ears? Do you know I love to watch you sleep? I could go on and on. It's important to me that you know that I love you - and how much I love you. So whatever it is that you are doing, thinking or saying, as you go about your day -- know that I am there with you, loving you. Much Love, Uli

Pematangsiantar March 6 th , 2018 Dear Mavis: Please accept my heartiest congratulations on your recent selection for inclusion on the short-list for the NY City Writers Prize. I just heard the news today from Francis Goodspeed when she dropped into my office with the marked up proofs for her latest collection of stories. As you can imagine, Fran was very excited too! I am so proud of you. As you know, I have been a longtime promoter of your work, and in my mind it's about time they finally recognized your talent. In fact, I believe that your selection for the NYCWP short-list is long overdue. I have already read two of the other books that are short-listed and in my opinion they don't hold a candle to your "No Turning Back". I will read the other three books nominated and let you know what I think. Although, I could hardly be considered an objective reviewer on this one! Once again Mavis, my sincere congratulations on your nomination. Just being nomin...

Pematangsiantar, March 5 th , 2018 Dear Friends; As a number of you already know I have recently accepted a position with another company and will be leaving at the end of this week. Please consider this to be my sincere goodbye to each and every one of you. I want you all to know that I am truly leaving here with mixed feelings; happy about my new career opportunity, but sad to be leaving such a great company where I have so many wonderful friends and colleagues. The last three years as a member of the SysTek team was the best period of my career so far. I learned a great deal and worked with many people with whom I am sure I will remain friends for a long time. I can only wish that my new job will give me such rewarding experiences and supportive friends. Thank you so much for making my time at SysTek a truly enjoyable one. I invite any of you who would like to keep in touch, to speak to me before I leave on Friday and I will be happy to give you my new phone and e-...

Fashion is about expressing your identity, showing someone who you are through your fashion choices and using your clothes to tell someone something about you. Or at least it is for me- I suppose for some people clothing is just about comfort or utility but for me it's about expressing myself. ​"Fashion is about expressing your identity ... using your clothes to tell someone something about you" Part of choosing ethical fashion over other fashion brands adds another element to what fashion means to me and what I choose to express to other people. For me fashion isn't just about picking pretty garments that show off my personality, it's also about linking me to where the clothes themselves have come from- they make me feel like I'm part of the bigger picture. I choose clothes based on where they have come from and who has made them. I like to know that what I'm wearing hasn't negatively impacted on someone else's life and b...

Fashion is something we deal with everyday. Even people who say they don’t care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day. One certain thing in the fashion world is change. We are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. Movies also have a big impact on what people wear. Ray-Ban sold more sunglasses after the movie Men In Black. Sometimes a trend is world-wide. Back in the 1950s, teenagers everywhere dressed like Elvis Presley. Who dictates fashion? Musicians and other cultural icons have always influenced what we’re wearing, but so have political figures and royalty. Newspapers and magazines report on what Hillary Clinton wears. The recent death of Diana, the Princess of Wales, was a severe blow to the high fashion world, where her clothes were daily news. Even folks in the 1700s pored over fashion magazines to see the latest styles. Women and dressmaker...

There is always something that good parents know and bad parents don’t. Today we will speak about parental authority, the one, where children naturally respect their parents and are not afraid of them. This level of parental authority can be tested by the willingness of children to obey and not resist their parents. In a good parent-child relationship the problem of obedience or resistance of children is resolved on its own. What do good parents know about these problems? 1. Children don’t obey, they just work together with parents Good parents arrange their activity with children so that there is only one boss, one manager: the work, which must be done. Parents and children share one goal, the job at hand. They work together. They cooperate. Here is the paradox of authority: for many people it seems that children obey parents, where in fact they don’t obey them, and they don’t resist; they simply solve problems together with parents. 2. Parents become teachers, when t...
