On January 2nd, 1937 a Professor of Philosophy from Poland, Krzenski came to see Gandhiji. Krzanski told Gandhiji that Catholicism was the only true religion.
"Do you therefore say that other religions are untrue?" Gandhiji asked.
Krzenski: "If others are convinced that their religions are true they are saved."
Gandhiji: "Therefore, you will say that everyone would be saved even through untruth. For you say that if a man really and sincerely believes in what is as a matter of fact untruth, he is saved. Would you not also hold, therefore, that your own way may be untrue but that you are convinced that it is true and therefore you will be saved?"
Krzenski: "But I have studied all religions and have found that mine is the only true religion."
Gandhiji: "But so have others studied other religions. What about them? Well, I go further and tell you that religion is one and it has several branches which are all equal."
Krzenski: "I accept that no religion lacks divine inspiration but all have not the same truth, because all have not the same light."
Gandhiji: "It is an essentially untrue position to take, for a seeker after truth, that he alone is in absolute possession of truth. What is happening to the poor astronomers today? They are changing their position every day, and there are scientists who impeach even Einstein's latest theory."
Krzenski: "No. But I have examined the arguments in favour of other religions."
Gandhiji: "But it is an intellectual examination. You require different scales to weigh spiritual truth. Either we are all untrue -- quite a logical position to take -- but, since truth does not come out of untruth, it is better to say that we all have truth but not the complete truth. For God reveals His truth to instruments that are imperfect. Raindrops of purest distilled water become diluted or polluted as soon as they come in contact with mother earth. My submission is that your position is arrogant. But I suggest to you a better position. Accept all religions as equal, for all have the same root and the same laws of growth."
Krzenski: "It is necessary to examine every religion philosophically and find out which is more harmonious, more perfect."
Gandhiji: "That presupposes that all religions are in watertight compartments. That is wrong. They are always growing. Let us not limit God's function. He may reveal Himself in a thousand ways and a thousand times."
Now the Professor switched on to the next question viz., that of fighting materialism.
Gandhiji: "It is no use trying to fight these forces without giving up the idea of conversion, which I assure you is the deadliest poison that ever sapped the fountain of truth."
Krzenski: "But I have a great respect for your religion."
Gandhiji: "Not enough. I had that feeling myself one day, but I found that it was not enough. Unless I accept the position that all religions are equal, and I have as much regard for other religions as I have for my own, I would not be able to live in the boiling war around me. Any make-believe combination of spiritual forces is doomed to failure if this fundamental position is not accepted. I read and get all my inspiration from the Gita. But I also read the Bible and the Koran to enrich my own religion. I incorporate all that is good in other religions."
Krzenski: "That is your goodwill."
Gandhiji: "That is not enough."
Krzenski: "But I have great respect for you."
Gandhiji: "Not enough. If I were to join the Catholic church you would have greater respect for me."
Krzenski: "Oh yes, if you became a Catholic, you would be as great as St. Francis."
Gandhiji: "But not otherwise? A Hindu cannot be a St. Francis? Poor Hindu!"
Krzenski: "But may Take your photograph?"
Gandhiji's acuity and wit! On the other side, the trap the dogma of certainties lays for its adherents.
For the position that Krzenski was articulating is the standard position, it is the ineluctable position that every adherent of a revealatory, milleniar- ist religion must take.
The premises of such religions -- of Christianity, of Islam, of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism -- are that there is one Truth; that it has been revealed to One Man -- the Son of God Jesus, the Messenger of God Mohammed, the Culmination of Philosophers Marx; that it has been enshrined by him or on his behalf in One Book -- the Bible, the Quran, Das Kapital; that this text is very difficult to grasp and, therefore, one must submit to and be guided by One (external, overarching) agency -- the Church, the Maulvi, the Party.
Now, as the millennium shall come only when, but immediately when all accept the Revelation, it is the duty of the agency - of the Church, of the Islamic rulers and maulvis, of the Party - to see that everyone sees the Light. If even after The Light has been shown to a person, he refuses to subscribe to it, he must be put out of harm's way.
For, in that circumstance, the man is not merely harming himself, he is coming in the way of the mandate of God, of Allah's Will, or as in Marxism a Utopia.
The presumption Gandhiji was nailing in that representative conversation follow necessarily from these premises: there is no salvation outside the Church or the Faith or Party -- the poor Buddha, with all his compassion, just cannot be a St Francis.
What must be done also follows inevitably from those premises: the Church must convert, Lenin and Mao must export the revolution, Khomeni must export the revelation. These are inescapable responsibilities.
Conversions have, therefore, been going on for 2000 years. They have been proclaimed to be an essential of Christianity, a duty of every Christian. They have become one of the principal preoccupations -- in some cases, as with the evangelists, the principal business of the Church.
An incredibly vast organisation has been built up, and incredibly huge resources are expended to save souls.
It costs "145 billion dollars to operate global Christianity," records a book on evangelisation. The Church commands four million full-time Christian workers, it runs 13,000 major libraries, it publishes 22,000 periodicals, it publishes four billion tracts a year, it operates 1,800 Christian radio and TV stations. It runs 1,500 universities, and 930 research centers. It has a quarter of a million foreign missionaries; and over 400 institutions to train them. And those are figures from a book published in 1989 -- since then these has been the surge in Eastern Europe and Russia.
And the numbers are indeed impressive. Europe and North America are almost wholly Christian. 97% of the population of Latin America, 92% of Phillipines, 36% of Africa, 32% of South Korea is Christian.
Are they -- either the continents or the converts -- closer to the spiritual? Is their conduct better?
Also, the sudden jumps in the number of adherents during famines and other privations testify to the use to which such times were put.
A polish student brought a photograph to Gandhiji and asked him to autograph it. There is a school run by Catholic fathers, the student explained, "I shall help the school from the proceeds of the sale of this photographs."
Returning the photograph, Mahadev Desai records in his Diary, Gandhiji said, "Ah, that is a different story. You do not expect me to support the fathers in their mission of conversion? You know what they do?" "And with this he told him...", records Mahadev Desai, "the story of the so-called conversions in the vicinity of Tiruchengodu, the desecration and demolition of the Hindu temple, how he (Gandhiji) had been requested by the International Fellowship of Faiths to forbear writing anything about the episode as they were trying to intervene, how ultimately even the intervention of that body, composed mainly of Christians, had failed, and how he was permitted to write about it in Harijan."
"He, however, had deliberately refrained from writing, in order not to exacebrate feeling on the matter." If the Harijans had awakened to matters of the spirit and had acquired the ability to assess these things, he told the student, "I would bless them for voluntarily embracing Christianity."


This is the story of a millionaire who travels to Japan for a vacation. One of his workers plans to destroy his holidays. Later, he faces a shortage of money which makes him find a job in Japan. Meanwhile, he falls in love with a girl. Will he be able to manage his rest of the holidays & return back to his country?


Exercise and dieting can only do so much, and it won't have the positive impact on saggy skin you want. Saggy body contours can be eliminated with a Toronto Body Lift, a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes lax skin and tissue. The surgery is designed for sagging, bagging and serious creases and folds that may have been caused by aging, pregnancy and dramatic weight loss.
A Body Lift is technically referred to as a belt lipectomy. The procedure involves raising and reshaping contours that are sagging and thus unsightly. A Body Lift removes excess skin that is loose and any attached excess fat that is unwanted to achieve a smoother body contour that is more youthful in appearance and better proportioned. While the procedure can be performed on portions of the upper and lower body, you may choose to have only one area targeted, such as the lower torso, upper legs, buttocks and arms – it's up to you. Your Body Lift may also involve liposuction, which will be used to help remove unwanted fat.
It can reshape your body contour to achieve the look you want.
It eliminates sagging skin and excess fat that may have been caused by a number of factors.
It can eliminate the saggy skin you can't get rid of through exercise and diet alone.
It can rejuvenate the body contour, particularly after multiple pregnancies or massive weight loss.
Because a Body Lift can target a number of different areas and body types, the exact procedure varies according to the needs of each patient. Generally, however, you can expect the surgery to include the placement of incisions strategically placed in your target area (so that the resulting scar is barely noticeable). An incision may be made in the upper and/or inner thigh right up to the waistline, or, if there is more extensive correction, the incision may continue around the waist and lower back completely. An incision is placed in the crease of the buttocks if this area is targeted. Any excess skin is removed, along with the underlying fat deposit if applicable, and then the remaining skin is sutured. Depending on how much correction you desire, surgery takes anywhere from 3 to 7 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Right after your surgery, bandages are applied and tubing may be placed to drain any excess fluids. You'll most likely need to get plenty of rest and limit your movement to facilitate healing and recovery. Oral medication may be taken to reduce discomfort.
The information provided here is for general reference. It should not replace a consultation with our Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, during which your unique concerns and questions will be addressed.

City detectives released this week a sketch of a man they want to question in connection with a homicide in Remington, police said.
Detectives did not release a name and police would not say whether the person is a suspect.
"We want this guy for questioning," said Agent Donny Moses, a police spokesman, who encouraged anyone who believes they might know the man to call police at 410-396-2100.
Police found the homicide victim, Nancy Schmidt, 74, about 5:30 a.m. April 21. She had been stabbed repeatedly in an upstairs room of her Remington home. At the time police said she was the victim of a botched predawn burglary.
The crime has shaken the Remington area, where such crimes are unusual.
Joan Floyd, president of the Remington Neighborhood Alliance, said police distributed copies of the flier at their neighborhood association meeting Tuesday.
"They said if anybody saw this person to call the police," she said. "They said by all means put it out there on every telephone pole in the neighborhood."
"We have a couple people who are quite terrified," Floyd said.
Three men were shot, one of them fatally, last night on a street near Fells Point, a police spokesman said. The identities of the victims were being withheld pending notification of family members.
No arrest had been made, and police said they knew of no motive for the triple shooting.
Shortly before 9 p.m., Southeastern District police officers were patrolling in their marked cruisers when they heard the sound of multiple gunshots coming from the 300 block of S. Dallas Court in the Perkins Homes neighborhood, said police spokesman Officer Troy Harris.
Harris said that when police arrived, they found one man lying on the ground and another man inside a nearby house, and later learned that the third victim had been driven to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where the other victims also were treated.
One was shot in the chest, and the other two were shot in the leg.
Harris said the man who was shot in the chest died about an hour later. The conditions of the other two victims were not available.
The death brought to 71 the number of homicides in the city this year.
Eduardo Morales-Soriano, an illegal immigrant charged with killing two people in a drunken driving accident in 2006 in Columbia, will plead guilty to two counts of negligent manslaughter, his attorney said yesterday in Howard County court.
The move averts a trial that was scheduled for July. A plea agreement was thrown out by a judge in January.
Morales-Soriano, 27, of Laurel, had a blood-alcohol level more than four times the legal limit when his Nissan Sentra slammed into the back of the car driven by Jennifer Bower, 24, on Thanksgiving night, police have said.
Bower's car, a Toyota Corolla, was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Routes 175 and 108 in Columbia. She and her passenger, Marine Cpl. Brian Mathews, 21, were killed.
Last fall, prosecutors reached a plea agreement with Morales-Soriano that recommended an eight-year prison term, which falls at the top of state sentencing guidelines. Howard County Circuit Judge Lenore R. Gelfman accepted that plea, but rejected it in January after receiving more information about the case from a pre-sentence investigation. The judge said she did not find the terms of that plea "adequate."
Prosecutors yesterday did not divulge the terms of the new plea or say whether more jail time would be recommended.
Morales-Soriano could face up to 20 years in prison for the two charges. He is scheduled to enter the plea and be sentenced on May 28, said his attorney, Brad Goldbloom. A trial had been scheduled for July 21.
Goldbloom and prosecutors declined to comment yesterday until after sentencing.
Authorities think that Morales-Soriano, who is from Mexico, entered the country illegally, and they expect him to be deported after serving his sentence.
The accident added to the heated debate about issuing driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants. Morales-Soriano got a license in North Carolina in 2004 and used it to get a Maryland license the following year.
Maryland is one of a few states that allow residents to obtain licenses regardless of immigration status. Gov. Martin O'Malley said in February that in two years, the state will require proof of legal residency.

River Ave. Blues » Saturday Links: Jeter, Postseason Schedule, Players Weekend
Saturday Links: Jeter, Postseason Schedule, Players Weekend
August 12, 2017 by Mike Leave a Comment
Hicksie to the rescue: Yankees come back late for 5-4 win over Red Sox in series opener
Shoulder inflammation sends Masahiro Tanaka to 10-day DL
(Rich Schultz/Getty)
The Yankees and Red Sox continue their three-game weekend series with the middle game later today. It's a 4pm ET start. Here are some links and notes to check out until game time.
Jeter agrees to purchase the Marlins (again)
A few weeks after his agreement to purchase the Marlins with Jeb Bush fell through, Derek Jeter has another deal in place to buy the team, reports Barry Jackson. Jeter teamed up with rich dude Bruce Sherman and several other minority investors (including Michael Jordan) to buy the team. The sale price is $1.2 billion — that's the second most ever paid for an MLB franchise, behind the $2 billion the Dodgers sold for a few years back — and Jeter is kicking in $25M.
Jackson says Sherman will be the "control person" while Jeter will run the business and baseball sides of the organization, so he's going to have a lot of responsibility. The sale is not yet final — two other potential Marlins sales have already fallen through this year, so this isn't a formality — but Jeter and Sherman do have all the money in place and everything else is order. Now MLB needs to give their approval and the other 29 owners have to vote. That's going to happen at the quarterly owners meetings in October, apparently.
2017 postseason schedule announced
It's getting to be that time of year. Earlier this week MLB announced the 2017 postseason schedule, and since the Yankees are in the race this year, this information is pretty damn relevant. Much better than being on the outside looking in like three of the last four years. Here is the full postseason schedule and here are the dates potentially relevant to the Yankees:
AL Wild Card Game: Tuesday, October 3rd
ALDS (both of 'em): Thursday, October 5th through Wednesday, October 11th
ALCS: Friday, October 13th through Saturday, October 21st
World Series: Tuesday, October 24th through Wednesday, November 1st
The regular season ends Sunday, October 1st, so there's only one off-day between the end of the regular season and the AL Wild Card Game this year. That could cause some headaches for teams trying to line up their ace for that winner-take-all game. The NL has two off-days between the end of the regular season and the Wild Card Game this year.
Also, homefield advantage in the World Series is no longer decided by the All-Star Game. That's good. I hated that. (Even though the AL won this year.) Now homefield advantage will go to the pennant-winner with the best regular season record. That's how it should be, I think.
MLB releases Players Weekend jerseys
A few weeks ago MLB announced that, later this month, the first (annual?) Players Weekend will be held from August 25th to the 27th. The Yankees will be home playing the Mariners that weekend. Teams will wear unique uniforms (hats, jerseys, socks, etc.) and the players will be allowed to wear nicknames on the backs of their jerseys. It's pretty awesome. Here are the Yankees:
This is so great. All-Starlin! A-A-Ron! Head and Toe! Aaron Judge told Erik Boland he was originally planning to put "AJ" or "Judge" on his jersey, but Todd Frazier talked him into All Rise, so here we are. Love Judge, but he could use a little more personality. Maybe pimp a homer every once in a while. (Looking at you too, Brett Gardner. "Gardner" on the jersey? Really?)
Anyway, as someone who may or may not have already purchased KRAKEN 24 and SIR DIDI 18 shirts, I love this whole Players Weekend idea. It's fun. Baseball's supposed to be fun. I couldn't be any more tired of hearing about tradition and the way things have always been. Give me Players Weekend, The Judge's Chambers, Clint Frazier's bright red hair, finger points into the dugout, give me all of it.
Yankees have not pursued Granderson
According to Joel Sherman, the Yankees have not pursued Curtis Granderson this month. He cleared trade waivers last week. The Yankees did try to acquire Jay Bruce from the Mets a few days ago, though that didn't work out because the Mets wanted full salary relief. Granderson, like Bruce, is a left-handed power hitter, but he can only play the outfield. Bruce has some first base experience.
Granderson, 36, is in the final season of his four-year, $60M contract. He's making $15M this year and it stands to reason the Mets will look to unload his salary at some point. Granderson is hitting .221/.327/.452 (105 wRC+) with 16 home runs overall this season, but since May 1st, he's put up a .261/.384/.548 (143 wRC+) batting line with 15 of those 16 homers. The Yankees have an opening at designated hitter and could really use another lefty power bat, which Granderson would provide. Doesn't sound like it's going to happen though.

All the Times Throughout History That Disney World and Disneyland Have Closed Down
By Brian Delpozo
Posted on Posted on June 2, 2019
Both Disney World and Disneyland have been the ultimate vacation destinations for millions of people from all over the world.
Each of these Walt Disney World guests has left the troubles of the real world behind to, as the sign says, enter worlds of "yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy." However, there have been several occasions when the outside world has intruded on Walt Disney World and Disneyland, forcing the Most Magical and Happiest Places on Earth to unexpectedly close.
Day of Mourning After JFK's Assassination — Disneyland
On November 25, 1963, Disneyland closed the park as part of the national day of mourning for President John K. Kennedy, who was killed four days previously.
Northridge Earthquake — Disneyland
The Northridge Earthquake in 1994 was one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in North America. Due to its magnitude, Disneyland was closed the day after so that the park could be inspected for any damage, and for the safety of guests.
Hurricane Floyd — Disney World
Given how often hurricanes and tropical storms strike Florida, it can be considered a minor miracle that Disney World went nearly 28 years without an unscheduled closure due to weather. However that streak ended in September 1999 thanks to Hurricane Floyd.
Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Floyd in 1999
With the storm bearing down, Disney closed all four Disney World theme parks, Downtown Disney, and the waterparks early in the afternoon of September 14, 1999. At the time, the company announced that they would be closed on the following day as well. However, after Floyd's path took an unexpected change, Disney did end up opening Animal Kingdom and the Downtown Disney area the following day.
September 11th — Disney World and Disneyland
The most well-known unplanned closure of both Disney World and Disneyland came just under two years after Hurricane Floyd, in the wake of the September 11th attacks in 2001. While the parks had already opened for the day, management decided to close them after the scope of the attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania became known, due partially to fear that Disney World could be the next target.
At Disney World, without informing guests what happened unless they specifically asked, cast members formed "human walls" to gently push guests out of each of the theme parks. Each guest received a complimentary ticket as they exited, and Disney went out of their way to accommodate stranded travelers. The parks reopened the following day, albeit with a slew of new security features at their entrances, many of which remain today.

Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne — Disney World
Walt Disney World was hit with three more weather-related closures in the summer and fall of 2004. The first came in August of that year, when Hurricane Charley forced the closure of Disney's parks on August 13.
Hurricane headed to Florida
Less than a month later, Hurricane Frances forced closure of the parks on both September 4 and September 5. The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Typhoon Lagoon reopened on September 6, while Hollywood Studios (then known as the Disney-MGM Studios), Animal Kingdom, and Blizzard Beach remained shuttered until the following day. Finally on September 26, the resort's parks were closed due to Hurricane Jeanne.

Hurricane Matthew — Disney World
Following the trifecta of 2004 closures, Walt Disney World wouldn't see another unexpected shut down until October 2016. Hurricane Matthew forced the parks to close at 5 p.m. on October 6. The parks remained closed on October 7.

Hurricane Irma — Disney World
The following year, Disney was once again forced to close due to Hurricane Irma. The parks and Disney Springs were all closed by 9 p.m. on September 9 and remained closed for the following two days.

While we never like to see Disney closed for any reason, obviously there are some situations outside of Disney's control that makes unplanned closures unavoidable.
Hurricane Dorian — Disney World
On September 3rd, 2019, Disney World closed its parks early due to the forecast for Hurricane Dorian. That afternoon, the storm changed its path further away from Central Florida, which led to the parks reopening on a normal schedule the following day.

Coronavirus Outbreak — Disney World and Disneyland
On March 12th, 2020, Disney announced the temporary closure of Disney World, Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Disneyland announced that both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure would be closing starting on March 14th, and have since announced they would be remained closed through further notice. The closure came after the state of California announced a ban of large gatherings as a precaution to stop the spread of the virus.

Similarly, Disney World announced that they would be closing starting after park hours end on March 15th.
The closures for each are far and away the longest closures that either has ever seen. Up until now, the longest closure for either Disney World or Disneyland was Disney World's closure for three days in 2004 for Hurricane Frances, when all the parks closed for two days, with Hollywood Studios, Blizzard Beach, and Animal Kingdom remaining closed for a third day.
While Disney World reopened on July 11th, Disneyland has not yet announced a new date for reopening.

I was working at the main gate as a ticket seller on August 6, 1970, when the Yippies (Youth International Party) "invaded" Disneyland (they paid General Admission, $3.50 at that time which did not include rides). It was an advertised event, so the "cast" was prepared, and extra policemen were on hand. When the Yippies took over Tom Sawyer's Island late in the afternoon, Disneyland closed down. Each ticket seller with her bag of money* was escorted by a policeman "backstage," and the loudspeakers throughout the park announced the closure and asked guests to leave. No one was hurt, and there was only minor property damage. This was the second time Disneyland closed, the first being November 22, 1963, the day President Kennedy was assassinated. (*Of interest, everything was cash in those days, except for one ticket booth that accepted BankAmericard, later known as Visa.)
Peggy Andryszak says:
I have been there twice. Flew from Cleveland to Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Was able to rent a car and drive to Disney the same day. Everything was closed but was able to have breakfast the following day at Ohana. Mickey asked if I was flying home that day, and I told him, "No, there are no planes flying today". Insert lump in throat. The second time, my husband and I were the flight in to MCO before Hurricane Charley in 2004. We hunkered down at the Yacht Club. Staff was fully prepared by moving dining to one location. Sand bags were placed outside the glass lobby doors. I have never seen palm trees bend so far over due to the wind. There was moderate damage when we awoke the next morning to the gardeners replacing overturned bushes and the humming of leaf blowers. All was well.
We were at Disney when hurricane Dorian was set to hit in 2019, They close everything down at 3 PM and had everyone go back to the resorts. They made it very fun and they had characters come to the resorts and play games in the lobby and watch movies. We had toy story characters and bolt come visit our resort. Luckily hurricane Dorian did not directly hit Orlando, despiteThe early closing that day Disney still made it a ton of fun
Took our kids for their first disney trip in oct 2016. Hurricane Matthew came and closed the parks. We flew this year and Orlando international was shut down so we were stuck. Disney helped us by letting us stay two extra days until we could get flights out and issued us full disney deluxe meals plans at no cost. We finally left out on that Monday.
B Keller says:
I think you missed another closing. We were at POP Century on Oct. 24, 2005 when Hurricane Wilma crossed Florida. Everything shut down on the 23rd and a couple of the parks reopened late afternoon on October 24th I believe. The winds were shaking our resort door terribly. I remember after the passing of Wilma how incredibly blue the sky was and also how cold it had become! Disney did an awesome job.
We were there Oct 6th and 7th in 2016. The closure was handled masterfully by Disney and all the staff. Many people at the resorts were causing a panic because the 7th was a scheduled "lock down" where guests were not allowed to leave the room while the storm hit. Disney has sack lunches that could be kept in the room and the lines for that food were 1-2hrs long. The storm passed in the night and I think they had the pool clear and ready for swimming by 1pm. The parks remained closed to deal with some minor storm issues, but we had a perfectly pleasant pool day at the resort, and were all given non-expiring park passes for the day that was missed.
The organization of Disney and the staff is truly remarkable to watch.
Rosalie says:
You missed October 2005, I was married on Oct. 22, 2005 and honeymooned at Disney World. It shut down for one day of our trip due to a hurricane.
Debra Martin Koma says:
Hi Rosalie, you're right that the parks were closed on October 24, 2005, due to Hurricane Wilma… but just for the morning. Magic Kingdom and Epcot reopened, along with Downtown Disney, at 1:00 p.m. that day, so technically Disney World was not totally closed down that day.
We were there for Jeanne. We are locals that survived the previous hurricanes that year. Charley really impacted our extended family so we decided we needed a break from the storm recovery. We booked our room at all star music and as we are preparing to go have fun, Jeanne decided to visit the same time. We brought a cooler full of food with us because we figured the power would go out at home. We had a blast. My kids will have stories to tell their grandkids. Cast members did a great job. Turns out Disney could have saved our lives as a tornado touched down on our road right by our house. We couldn't go home for days. We couldn't work because power was out at both of our jobs. So we ended up staying at Disney. Instead of 2 days we were there for 10. They gave us a huge discount because we were refugees.
Louise Herrick says:
We were there when WDW closed for the first time ever during Hurricane Floyd. As we're from England it was shocking to us that something was bad enough to close parks that had never closed before. It was also a bit scary as we'd never experienced a hurricane as again, they aren't something that happens over here. The day before, we did the Keys to the Kingdom tour & our guide said it was looking bad & they were already herding in the animals at AK early as they were worried for them. My in laws were with us this trip. They were also there for the 2nd time WDW close on 9/11.
We had reservations to stay at Pop Century from 9/7 – 9/13 during Irma and decided to go despite the forecast. The plane had only about 60 people on it when we left Baltimore. The weather and the crowds were great the first 3 days before Irma hit. We had hardly any waits on any rides. We never felt in any way scared while we were locked in our room during the worst of the storm Sunday night. When the parks reopened on Tuesday there was little sign of damage and we once again had no waits on rides. It was a trip that my wife and I will always remember and I would do it all over again.
Jacquie Currie says:
I took the kids to Disney the Friday before Irma hit because I knew it'd be mostly empty. Most enjoyable, uncrowded day at Disney EVER!
Andy B says:
We knew Irma was coming, it was the day we were due to fly in. We took an earlier flight to get to Animal Kingdom Lodge just as she came through the Keys. we felt very safe as Irma passed through during the night.
Keith W. says:
We were in the MK on 9/11 and met other members of our family at the tables outside of the Plaza Restaurant for a late breakfast. My mother mentioned hearing something on the radio about a plane hitting the WTC. Not knowing any other details at the time, we assumed it must have been just some freak accident with a small plane. I remember riding Splash Mountain a little while later with my dad and brother-in-law. When we exited the ride, my sister ran up to us saying that we needed to find the rest of the family because the park was closing. Cast members were calmly directing people toward the exit, saying that the park was closing for reasons beyond their control. There were periodic announcements on the PA that basically said the same thing and also instructed the CMs to implement a code number, which I assume was some sort of emergency procedure. All the guests in the park were ushered down Main Street to the waiting ferries and monorails. It was not a panic by any means. Just eerily quiet with alot of confused and concerned people who were slowly starting to find out bits of information about what was going on in the outside world from people who had cell phones. (Hard to believe now but cell phones were not nearly as ubiquitous then as they are today). We were given one-day comp tickets upon exiting the park and then stood in a very long line for the ferry. While we were waiting on the dock, the Dapper Dans set up shop there and sang to the crowd. Not until we made it back to the parking lot and our rental car were we able to turn on a radio and find out what had happened. Rather than driving away right away, we just sat in the car for quite a while listening to the reports in stunned disbelief. We were staying at Coronado Springs, where I believe Disney was offering to let people extend their stays for free while the airports were closed. We opted to reunite with the rest of our family who were staying at an offsite suite hotel. The next day, the parks re-opened, so with nothing else to do, we spent some time in Epcot and returned to MK. That was a surreal day, trying to find some measure of distraction from the terrible, still-unfolding events in what would normally be a very happy place. On Main Street, the Town Square flag flew at half-mast and in Epcot, we saw a pair of low-flying military helicopters flying over Future World. I really have to give alot of credit to WDW and especially the cast members for how everything was handled on those days.
Fran S says:
We were there on 9/11 at Animal Kingdom. We were on the safari when they started closing the park. We came off the safari to find everyone walking toward the exits and didn't know why. Not until we found a man with a cell phone (rare in those days) did we find out what happened. We spent the rest of the day at our resort Coronado Springs. The tickets given out when leaving the parks were only for people with one day tickets, not those of us with multi day tickets. The rest of the week WDW was like a ghost town as most people found ways to get back home by land. We ended up staying and on Friday of that week there was the threat of a hurricane so parks didn't open until that evening. We had to stay an extra day until the airport reopened so Disney paid for our room that night.
Our first family trip with our two young sons to Disney World was in 2004 when Hurricane Charley came through. We were camping at Fort Wilderness Campground and got a notice that we would be put up at Port Orleans French Quarter before the hurricane hit. We needed to pull our trailer out too and park it in the resort parking lot. It was quite an experience and the cast members all worked hard to make us comfortable. Hurricane Charley left a mess of broken trees all over the place but we were safe and sound in our room at the time watching the storm reports on TV and seeing it out our window. We made the best of it and after a few days got to go back to the campground. We found a nice card on our trailer door the next day, welcoming us back along with a Fort Wilderness Campground pin. We ended up extending our stay for a few days. It was a memorable first Disney trip for sure and we have been back almost every year since.
I wasn't there for any of the closings but I was there a day or two after several of them, including 9/11. While I didn't wish for any of these disasters to occur, I have to say that the parks were virtually empty. It was like we had the place all to ourselves. After 9/11 we rode all the mountains in the MK over and over without ever having to get off. I have photos of Main Street where there is not a single person in the photo. Characters were walking with us, holding my daughters hand, and Pooh and Goofy even rode on rides with us. I'm pretty certain that my family was the only ones in the stretching room at the Haunted Mansion and walking World Showcase was almost like walking down a deserted street.
Garren says:
We were there for Hurricane Matthew. We were to arrive in Florida Saturday during the Hurricane. Our flights were being cancelled. Looked at the next 2 days, no available flights. Our group regrouped and decided to fly in a day ahead of time. We all managed to get rooms somewhere on property for the extra day. We arrived only hours before Orlando airport closed down, checked into our resorts. We went to Hollywood Studios and spent several hours until they closed the parks at 4.bwent to our rooms. Normally stay at DVC resort, we got a Pop Century room for night. We were notified by phone message we were to be on lockdown in our rooms for next 24 hours and not to leave rooms. Had opportunity to go to quick service at resort to buy boxed lunch which was slapped together bread with a slice of meat and cheese, a cookie, a apple. Cost $50 for 4 of these. Took 2 hours to weave through the cafeteria to get and pay for.
The short of it, the hurricane went 50 miles further east then predicted and we only had heavy winds overnight. Not much damage at all. Cafeteria opened by 9 am but the Parks stayed closed for day.
You could see the cast members were taxed hard, but for most part kept it together the best they could. Since it was state of emergency, no one cold come or go, so most cast members were there 24-36 hours.
Friends stayed at Saratoga Springs Resort had really good boxed lunches that we're brought to them. Made a difference where you stayed apparently! No regrets though. Had excellent weather after the storm moved north!
Jennifer Stidham says:
We lived in Orlando at the time and were headed into MK when everything started to happen. We were waiting in the foyer of Cinderella's Royal Table (if that was the name back then) and were waiting..and waiting.. to be seated when they advised us they were closing the parks. I remember looking at all the people, you could see some knew and some didn't and were wondering. The parking lots were crazy, closing all parks and all guests leaving at once. There was a photo in the ORLANDO sentinel and hen in People Magazine showing people leaving MK. My husband and I are in the front of the crowd in that pic. It took a long time before we tried to eat at that restaurant again because of the memories of that day.
Donna F. says:
We were there for Hurricane Jeanne! It was a surprise stay at the Wilderness Lodge and we had a pool view! There was a tree right outside the window and we remember it bending in the wind so far it touched the ground. We watched the rain go "up" the roof over the lobby than blow sideways! The lodge was so prepared. We had food, shelter and entertainment in the lobby! Mickey, Minnie and some friends visited for the kids that were there and all the restaurants were open buffet style so no one went hungry! The cast members were fantastic especially those whose families couldn't get to the world, and they had their own homes and family on their minds. While we couldn't go outside obviously there was not reason! Ever since when in Florida, if there is a storm coming we head to the world. Safest place to be!! (P.S. The tree did not break and amazingly – it is still there and strong as we check each time we go!) 🙂
I stayed there too at the same time. I still remember the late night scavenger hunt that had going for the kids.
Tom Patton says:
While my new bride and I were celebrating or marriage in the summer of 1995. Hurricane Erin made landfall on August 2. On August 1st in anticipation of Erin –who was heading straight for Disney property at the time– the three parks all closed early on the 1st. The Fort Wilderness campground was evacuated and all guest staying there were brought into the Contemporary Convention Center to "ride out" the storm. The Contemporary Cafe was staffed by devoted cast-members who had been on duty since very early in the morning. The Arcade was packed all night long with evacuees. Cast-members were asked not to leave and could bring their families onto property for safety purposes. I remember talking with quite a few Magic Kingdom Cast-members, who where full of rumors, the most prevalent was that there was an active plan to remove the top of the Castle to prevent damage. This turned out to be totally untrue, but was fun to talk about.
One Cast-member drew a map of what the property would look like in the morning. The EPCOT Ball blown to inside the Magic Kingdom, the MGM-Studios Water-Tower relocated to inside EPCOT, you get the idea.
Of course during the evening the storm turned course and headed away from property, so all was safe and the parks opened a few hours late on August 2nd. This certainly made for a memorable Honeymoon, that I will never forget.
We were there during the Hurricane Jeanne closure. We were staying at Pop Century, so we were basically quarantined in our room for close to 24 hours with a toddler. I remember the food court sold a ton of pizzas before the closure, and there were a lot of styrofoam coolers around, too.
I was glad they were open the next day, and it was impressive to see what a good job the crews had done with cleanup.
The biggest shock for us was on arrival to Florida, where we could see all the roofs and trees damaged by the two previous hurricanes. Was quite a year there.
Was there during Matthew. Not Disney's finest moment. We were staying at Port Orleans French Quarter which was under renovation. Disney had no plans for what to do with guests staying at a hotel with no restaurant. We couldn't go anywhere for food and there was no restaurant. They eventually brought in disgusting box/styrofoam lunches and charged everyone a kings ransom for them after they waited in line for over a hour to get one. This really infuriated those of use on a meal plan. The gift shop was picked clean of food by those willing to spend even more. The folks who got it the worst were the poor souls who made it in from the Disney cruise line after battling the storm at sea, only to get it treated terribly on land. The staff was very good and tried their best under the circumstances (I am thankful for their willingness to stay during the storm). This was a management SNAFU. We got the fees for the box lunches reversed after dealing with a customer service person the next day. On a positive note, the rest of the trip had virtually no lines due to the evacuation.
Carole Horsburgh says:
was there for 9-11 along with my daughter, sister and 2 friends for an all girls trip. We were actually at Animal Kingdom when Disney announced over loudspeakers that the park was closing. All of my party except me was on the ride Dinosaur so they didn't hear the announcement.When the ride was over I told them all we had to leave, at first they thought I was joking because I couldn't give an explanation as to why we had to leave. The cast members were fantastic. They ushered everyone out calmly. When we were almost out the gate, someone asked a cast member what the problem was and he told us the World Trade Center had been attacked, but assured everyone that all precautions were being taken. I never saw a park empty out so quickly and efficiently. The buses were all crowded of course, there was silence on the buses and I never remember being in such crowded buses where there was such silence. When we arrived back at the hotel,(staying at DVC Boardwalk)we were glued to the tv watching the horror that unfolded. WDW was wonderful helping people with accommodation because of grounded flights, and whatever else was needed. We ended up having to rent a car and drive home to NJ. In a situation that could have become chaotic the Disney cast members kept everyone calm.
We were there during hurricane Irma , we stayed at the animal kindom lodge, they did a very good job at entertaining everyone. A+.

The importance of customer onboarding [Q&A with Onna]
Grace Gupta
Customer onboarding is indisputably at the heart of customer success. This is something critical for companies adopting a SaaS model, where there isn't room for an antiquated mentality that puts the onus purely on conversions. You can't wash your hands of the customer after the point of sale.
By implementing a water-tight customer onboarding strategy, organizations will drive product value and enhance the customer's experience. After all, clear-cut expectations and transparency are vital in the onboarding stages of the customer journey.
We sat down with Michelle Wideman, Chief Customer Officer at Onna, to discuss the importance of customer onboarding at CSC's Customer Success Festival 3.0.
Customer Success Collective: Hi Michelle, thanks for taking the time to chat with us about the significance of onboarding. First of all, we're curious to know what you think's the most common aspect of onboarding that organizations fail at – and why do you think this is?
Michelle Wideman: It's hard to pinpoint just one, it depends on the size and stage of your company.
It's important to me that customers feel like they've been listened to throughout their pre-sales journey, so being able to clearly outline 'here is what we heard,' you establish as your success criteria during the pre-sales cycle. You can then ask the customer to confirm that these objectives are the same, or have they changed?'
Once you have an understanding of the customer's immediate needs, it's important to understand their long-term objectives. Your role is to set the customer up to succeed for their current and future needs. This also helps set the stage earlier on in the sales cycle for incremental expansion and minimizes churn as you've clearly defined success criteria.
CSC: The value of onboarding is of real interest to us at CSC, something examined in our upcoming report, The State of Customer Success 2021. We were surprised to find that in a survey of 200 professionals working in customer success, only 66% revealed that onboarding was a top priority in their job.
While this figure is reflective of a variety of different roles and their seniority within the CS function, as a CCO, what do you make of this finding?
MW: I think it goes back to the size and stage of your company. Ironically, in my past two jobs, optimizing onboarding has been a key area of focus. I think it's important to set the stage early by confirming what a customer's success criteria are, outlining the customer's team, and the vendor's org chart in place to support them. If we build trust and victories early on in the process, we're setting the customer and ourselves up for success.
Customer onboarding 101
For freemium models adopted by a growing number of SaaS companies, onboarding is the frontline in the battle for the upsell.
Future of SaaSMax Duce
CSC: In your experience, what are the most important tools available for carrying out customer onboarding?
MW: Communication! One of my biggest pet peeves is when you have a Business Development Representative (BDR) qualify an opportunity, an Account Executive (AE) does the further discovery, the pre-sales Solution Architect (SA) team comes in and does additional questioning, then the professional services team does further scoping.
The last thing you want is for customer success to do the onboarding call and say, 'Tell me why you bought our software.' Can you imagine how frustrating that is for the customer?
Whatever CRM/application you're using, it's important to have alignment between the pre-sales team, customer success, and post-sales team on what fields must be populated to help to ensure the proper flow of communication on the key components of a customer's environment and desired business outcomes.
Any important documentation proof of value wrap-up meetings, architecture documents, etc. should be attached to whatever application(s) the cross-functional teams are accessing, so we're crowdsourcing the customer's information to all the right people.
CSC: Developing a relationship with high-touch customers appears easier than navigating a relationship with low-touch customers. But for the latter, who require less human contact than their high-touch counterparts, how do you ensure their goals are still established during the onboarding period?
MW: When supporting low-touch customers, it's important that the auxiliary resources are in place to support them.
For example, a great onboarding email that outlines the top 10 tips for a successful implementation, links them to additional resources such as a user community, knowledge base, training, and how to open support cases. It's also important that the vendor's backend infrastructure is established to set calls to action (CTA) or triggers based on low usage and automated playbooks to deploy to help optimize engagement.
CSC: It's no secret that customer success largely functions within the SaaS industry. In our report, nearly 50% of respondents work in IT services and computer software. That being said, how would you tackle customer onboarding for non-subscription organizations?
MW: If you're talking perpetual licensing vs. SaaS licensing, I think a lot of the same tactics apply. It's important to understand the business outcomes the customer hopes to achieve now and in the future, and define the dedicated resources on both sides to ensure those outcomes are achieved.
CSC: And finally, what practices in onboarding do you want to see more of in businesses?
MW: When I joined Onna it was apparent that we were too single-threaded in accounts, so if our champion left we had a risk of attrition.
We've focused a lot on defining the org charts for our customers to ensure we have multiple contacts at varying levels. It's important to know our users, to know our contacts in finance who help ensure timely payment and renewals, and our executive relationships.
We also dedicated a slide to outline our resources and an easy decoder key, so our customers understand who to go to for what. I'd like for us to continue to build this out, so we understand the desired business outcomes for each role within our customers, what partners our customers are working with, what are their (partner) desired roles and outcomes, and how can we all partner together: customer, partner, and vendor to amplify our success?
Has this piqued your interest? We hope so. 🤞

Customer engagement and the metrics that matter [Q&A with Intercom]


Rebel Without a Clause: Let's Break Some Writing Rules!
For four years, I taught SAT/ACT essay writing. It was ball-achingly dull. Standardized tests, you see, require a very specific, very rigidly-formatted style, the type of writing you've had tattooed on your cortex since sixth grade. The hook. The thesis. Three body paragraphs offering supporting evidence. The conclusion. The arrival of a team of paramedics who attempt to resuscitate you after you shoot yourself in the face to avoid ever again having to write something so boring. I didn't love teaching it, and the kids didn't love learning it, in part because it bears so little resemblance to any of the writing you see in the real world.
Think about it: when was the last time you read an op-ed piece that went like this?
Recent scandals within the VA health system have shocked American sensibilities. Eric Shinseki, the United States Secretary of Veterans' Affairs, should step down. He should do so for the following reasons: he is incompetent at his job, he needs to give someone else a chance to lead, and he has dumb taste in shoes. I will now expand upon these points with concrete supporting evidence.
Or a novel that began like this?
Et cetera, et cetera. I understand why we all learn this style growing up. It's tight, cogent, and easy to understand. It emphasizes the need for concrete supporting evidence (a need that loads of adults and the entire Fox News team have yet to internalize.) It prevents our nation's middle school students from trying to argue in favor of euthanasia by writing about the time they ramped their BMX bike off a sick jump (that's a thing middle schoolers do, right?) In short, it's effective, if desperately, desperately boring. Fortunately, as we grow older, we learn how to bend the rules to make our writing more engaging.
But just how far will the rules bend? Surely some writing rules are sacrosanct–never to be broken under any circumstances? After all, professional writers are always rattling off lists of definitely-dos and absolutely-don'ts. Those lists must mean something.
Well, no. Not really. Your writing needs to make sense and keep the reader interested, but everything else is surprisingly flexible. Here are some of the rules that popular authors have broken, are breaking, and will continue to break for the foreseeable future.

You better hold on, something's happening here
You better hold on, meet you in Tompkins Square
—Lou Reed, "Hold On" (1989)
Summer 1988. Tompkins Square Park, which long served as
a makeshift home for the homeless and a center for social
unrest, erupted in violence when the New York City Police
and hundreds of rioters clashed over ideological differences.
Residents of the Lower East Side, historically home to
diverse immigrant communities but facing gentrification,
united to protest the 1 a.m. curfew the city was attempting
to enforce on the park, in effect banishing the homeless and
closing off many areas of the park that were once public.
Over the humid night of August 6, protestors carrying signs
that read "Gentrification is Class War" and chanting "It's our
fucking park, you don't live here!" clashed with police armed
with riot gear. The violence lasted until the next morning.
The August 6 Police Riot—so called because the consensus
was that the police overreacted to the protestors—and
subsequent Tompkins Square Park riots were the manifestation
of a larger concern of the over-gentrification of the Lower
East Side. The Lower East Side has a long history of liberal,
and at times radical, movements that attracted artists,
intellectuals, anarchists, activists, squatters, immigrants,
and even exiles. Many in the community, unlike in other
more passive communities facing gentrification, stood up
and worked together with the homeless to protect housing
rights and human rights, as well as their own lifestyle. By
1991, the estimated 300 homeless people living in Tompkins
Square Park were gone and the park was forcefully closed for
renovations. Twenty years after the police riots, the park now
boasts one of the best dog runs in New York City.

The English version of the movie stars Aileen Quinn as the voice of Dorothy and Lorne Greene as the Wizard. Like the 1939 Judy Garland film version, this anime take on The Wizard of Oz ends the story with Dorothy's trip home to Kansas after visiting the Wizard, and is a musical boasting original vocal songs such as "It's Strictly Up To You," "I Dream Of Home," and "A Wizard Of A Day," all sung by Aileen Quinn in the English version. The lyrics to these songs were by Sammy Cahn and Allen Byrnes. This film was seemingly made with the American market in mind, as it was released in the United States before it premiered in Japan. In the U.S., it was released on video and syndicated to local television stations.

Tin Man was released in December 2007 on the Sci-fi Channel by RHI Entertainment and Sci Fi. This three-part miniseries, directed by Nick Willing and starring Zooey Deschanel, Richard Dreyfuss, Alan Cumming, Raoul Trujillo, Neal McDonough, Kathleen Robertson, was advertised as a re-imagined version of the Wizard of Oz, with a heavy science fiction/fantasy emphasis and, at first glance, giving only allusive references to most of the original story and the 1939 film. However, the revelation in the third part of Tin Man (that the heroine D.G. is a descendant of Dorothy Gale and that other humans, called 'Slippers' by the people of Oz, have visited Oz since Gale's fateful adventure) indicates that the series instead portrays a future version of Oz, thereby making the mini-series both a sequel and a re-imagining.

Stage adaptations
The earliest musical version of the book was produced by Baum and Denslow (with music by composer Paul Tietjens) in Chicago in 1902, and moved to New York in 1903. It used many of the same characters, and was aimed more at adult audiences. It had a long, successful run on Broadway. Baum added numerous additional political references to the script. For example, his actors specifically mention President Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Mark Hanna, and John D. Rockefeller by name. (Swartz, Before the Rainbow, pp 34, 47, 56) He wrote a version more faithful to the book in 1901, but it has never been produced. Although it included many of the same songs, it featured far fewer interpolations of other songs (which had nothing to do with the story) than the 1902 version did.

Tesla is pushing to 'speed up' production of Model 3, says analyst after supply chain check
Fred Lambert | Dec 29 2016 - 10:55 am PT
As the deadline for production parts for the Tesla Model 3 is just 6 months away, analyst Jennifer Liang of KGI, a respected Chinese research firm, did a supply chain check and found that Tesla is going "all out" to race the Model 3 to production. The analyst said that Tesla is working with "system integrators (SI) in the supply chain and strengthening automation."
In a new note today, Liang wrote (via StreetInsider):
"Versus supply chain management for Model S and X, where nearly all parts and components are shipped to Tesla's Fremont factory in California for sub- and final assembly, Tesla has brought in two SIs, located in Thailand and China, for various sub-assembly for Model 3. Its recent acquisition of Grohmann Engineering (DE), a specialist in automated manufacturing, is clearly another endeavour by Tesla to accelerate Model 3 production."
The analyst noted that the large backlog of over 400,000 pre-orders for the Model 3 "provides volume visibility" for the company to work with its supply chain. Tesla has certainly come a long way from the Roadster and early days of the Model S when it had difficulties convincing suppliers to work with them.
Liang listed Bizlink, a wiring harness supplier based in Taiwan, a market Tesla recently entered, and Hota, an automotive part supplier, as companies to benefit from Tesla's strong growth.
Interestingly, Liang sees over 50% growth for the Model S and Model X combined in 2017, but she expects Model 3 shipments to fall shorts of targets during the same period.
It would be important to note that Tesla didn't officially set a goal for Model 3 deliveries in 2017 beyond stating that it aims to achieve volume production in late 2017. Tesla CEO Elon Musk did mention very tentatively that the company could deliver 100,000 to 200,000 Model 3 units, but he made it clear that it was only a guess and it's highly dependent on a production ramp up that is difficult to anticipate in the first few months.
The only official volume goal of the automaker is to achieve an annual production rate of 500,000 cars in 2018 and that's Model S, X, and 3 combined.
The Tesla Model 3 is the first vehicle built on …


Following their inaugural meeting in February, the Greater Manchester's Co-operative Commission has issued a rallying call to keep driving the movement forward and help build a stronger city-region where new co-ops and social enterprises can thrive.
The Commission wants to work with co-operatives to reduce inequality, improve education and employment and help the sector grow into other areas of the economy to make Greater Manchester the most co-operative region in the UK.
Chair of the Co-operative Councils' Innovation Network, Councillor Sharon Taylor OBE said: "The Co-operative Councils' Innovation Network is delighted to be involved in this trailblazing Commission.
The Commission will sit as an independent panel, making policy recommendations to support the continued development of the co-operative sector in Greater Manchester, and to ensure that the city-region is drawing on the benefits that co-operatives can bring to the local economy.
The Commission is calling for evidence of the benefits and best practice of businesses built for co-operative purpose and principles as well as the barriers and how they have overcome difficulties.
The consultation period is open until September 1st 2019.

With national debates over Common Core and what techniques are best for teaching children in the classroom, the Tinkering Studio allows children the freedom to learn through interaction and hands-on activities.
People can create electricity, design their own pinbell machine, capture a picture of their shadows, build a product (which they get to take home with them) and more.
"We live in a finished product society," Stroud said, showing off his iPhone as a prime example.
In a high-tech society, computers are running the world and even making their way into schools. While children won't specifically be building a computer, Stroud wants to do "take aparts." Take aparts are when he brings in old machines, tears them into pieces and explores the inside. Stroud hopes to make take aparts a series with potentially one of the objects being a record player.
Throughout the workshop, there are tinkering mentors to help make the interactive museum experience a good one. Using trial and error, kids can not only learn about how things work, but they can compete and work together to figure things out.
Each activity encourages using "Science Thinking," a process the museum keyed for learning: (1) make observations, (2) make comparisons, (3) draw conclusions and (4) make predictions.
The answer to why things are the way they are aren't just handed out in the Tinkering Studio. Instead, children use the science thinking technique to figure out why themselves.
With encouraging questions and having kids find solutions to their problems, they learn the value of working through difficulties.
"(The exhibit) prepares you to think of your own challenges," Stroud said.
The Tinkering Studio will open on July 1st to the public. The studio will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Admission to "Tinkering" is included in the museum entrance fee; it costs $8 for children and $10 for adults Monday through Thursday and $10 for children and $12 for adults on Friday and Saturday.
