COLLECTION REFERENCE NUMBER — MS 101 The Skinner Family Collection
William Skinner, a prominent silk manufacturer of the early twentieth century, moved his family and business to Holyoke, MA in 1874. At the time his family consisted of 2 daughters from his first marriage to Nancy Warner, Eleanor Skinner, and Nancy Skinner; along with his second wife, Sarah Elizabeth Allen Skinner, and their children, Elizabeth Allen Skinner, William Cobbett Skinner, Joseph Allen Skinner, Ruth Isabelle (Belle) Skinner and Katharine Skinner. With an unlimited source of power and inexpensive immigrant labor available in Holyoke, the silk production and textile manufacturing business grew and profits increased. William Skinner remained at the head of the firm until his death in 1902 when control was turned over to his two sons William C. and Joseph. In 1961 the Skinner family sold the business, with all their trademarks and patents, to Indian Head Mills. The William Skinner & Sons silk and satin mills were earning sales revenues in the millions of dollars and employing over 1,000 people at the time of William Skinner's death in 1902. As manufacturer of "Skinner's Satins" he came to be widely known, and his own success was extended philanthropically to Holyoke and its people. The family maintained a residence in Holyoke at their home, Wistariahurst, for eighty years. The Skinners donated the property to the city of Holyoke in 1959.
The collection is open for research. Some restrictions.
William Skinner was born in London in 1824. In England, William served as his father's apprentice and learned the trade of silk dying. In 1843, at the age of 19 1, William Skinner immigrated to the United States. Skinner arrived in Northampton, MA, one of the few areas that had an established silk industry. Skinner immediately got a job in the Valentine Dye Works. In 1848, Valentine's business failed and Skinner went into business for himself in a dye‐house adjoining the Conant Silk Mills. In 1850, Skinner married Nancy Warner. Together they had two daughters, Eleanor "Nellie" Skinner and Nancy "Nina" Skinner, who died in 1854. Two years after marriage, Skinner entered a partnership with Joseph Warner, his brother‐in‐law. After the death of his first wife, Skinner's partnership with Warner dissolved and Skinner moved north to Haydenville and set up his own company, Unquomonk Silk Mills. He married Sarah Allen of Northampton and had five children that lived into adulthood. The eldest was William C. followed by Elizabeth, Joseph, Ruth Isabel "Belle" and Katharine.
The years in Haydenville proved prosperous for Skinner. His mills grew, as did his fortune. The area around his mill and boarding houses became known as Skinnerville. In 1868, he had a house designed by William Fenno Pratt constructed for himself and his family. The house was of the latest fashion and symbolized Skinner's advancement. In May 1874, the Mill River Dam, which had supplied water power for Skinner's mill and others, gave way. The ensuing flood destroyed Skinner's mill and over 140 people lost their lives in the flood. His house, however, withstood the flood with only some minor damage.
At the time of the flood, Skinner was fifty years old. He had built a large fortune and had lost almost everything. On the verge of financial ruin, William Skinner was eager to rebuild without amassing a large debt. Luckily, Holyoke was attempting to build an industrial base and offered Skinner a prime canal site on which to rebuild his mill rent free for five years, and a portion of one square block of land on which to build his house for one dollar. Since most of his house had survived the flood, it was dismantled and brought to Holyoke.
William rebuilt his factory in Holyoke. Within six months, he was again producing sewing silk and silk braid used for binding men's suits and service uniforms. In 1883, the company became William Skinner and Sons. William Skinner, Sr., remained at the head of the firm until his death in 1902 and then sons William C. and Joseph took over leadership of the firm. The company that William Skinner created became the largest producer of satin linings in the world. Company products were bought in all parts of the world. "Skinner's Satins" were known wherever silks were used. Large sales and distribution forces were located in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago. As the years passed, new generations of the family kept up with the times, producing other varieties of fabric and introducing synthetic materials. Most popular among their later lines of Skinner materials was their bridal satin remembered today by many brides of the 1940s and 1950s. Silk and silk satin were the earliest fabrics and the mainstay of the business for 87 years.
In 1961 the Skinner family sold the business, with all their trademarks and patents, to Indian Head Mills who closed the mills shortly after. The mill buildings were destroyed in a fire in 1980. Holyoke Heritage State Park now occupies the mill site.
William Skinner and his descendants are well‐known for their philanthropic gifts to social and educational institutions in western Massachusetts. William, the elder, gave money to the Holyoke YMCA, Holyoke Hospital, and to build a gymnasium at the Dwight L. Moody School in Northfield, MA. Joseph A. Skinner was a Trustee at Mount Holyoke College for 19 years in addition to serving several years as President. He donated the land and buildings that now comprise Skinner State Park. Belle and Katharine established the Skinner Coffee House to serve the needs of immigrants who worked in the city's mills and factories. Belle received international attention for her work rebuilding the French village of Hattonchatel after World War I. In 1920, she was awarded the French Legion of Honor for her efforts.
The Skinner family lived at Wistariahurst for two generations. The estate was named by the family in 1901, for the wisteria vines draping the mansion that Sarah planted in the late 1880s. Over the years there have been many changes and additions. In 1913, the Conservatory and Music Hall were built to house Belle Skinner's collection of musical instruments. In 1927 when the Marble Lobby and Main Hall were added, the entrance to the home was changed to Beech Street. The two lions at the Cabot Street entrance were purchased by Mrs. William Skinner in Rome in the 1880s and installed at the original main entrance at 247 Pine Street. In 1927 Belle Skinner had them moved to Cabot Street as part of the 1927 addition.
The house was deeded to the City of Holyoke in June 1959 by Katharine Skinner Kilborne, the youngest daughter of William and Sarah Skinner, and her three children, for cultural and educational purposes. Wistariahurst became the quarters of the Holyoke Museum in April 1960. The museum has evolved over time to become an historic house museum that tells the story of the history of Holyoke and her inhabitants, including the Skinner family. Wistariahurst is a Department of the City of Holyoke supported by Historic Holyoke at Wistariahurst, Inc. and the Friends of Wistariahurst, and the Holyoke Historic Commission, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE COLLECTION
The Skinner Family Collection consists primarily of material dating between 1860 and 1960. The collection includes family correspondence; maps, blueprints and architectural drawings of homes and other buildings owned by the Skinners; as well as scrapbooks, photos, clothing and memorabilia of the family. It also contains products and ledgers from William Skinner & Sons Manufacturing, the business which the family sold in 1961.
The first large component of this collection is comprised of family correspondence. The correspondence included in the collection is primarily between William Skinner, his wife Sarah Allen Skinner, and his children Eleanor "Nellie" Skinner, Elizabeth Skinner Hubbard, William C. Skinner, Joseph Allen Skinner, Ruth Isabel "Belle" Skinner, and Katharine Skinner Kilborne. There is also a large sampling of correspondence from Katharine's husband Robert Stewart Kilborne, and their descendents Barbara Briggs Kilborne, Elizabeth Kilborne Hudnut, and George Briggs Kilborne. Correspondence from the Warner, Clark, and Hubbard families, as well as the 4th generation Skinner and Kilborne families will also be found.
Materials pertaining to the family home, Wistariahurst, include primary source information related to the Mill River Flood, which precipitated the Skinner family's move to Holyoke; miscellaneous papers and documentation of Robert Stewart Kilborne II's costume donations; information regarding Ruth Isabel "Belle" Skinner's renovations to the house, including the music room; information on the tea house and maps of the gardens; documentation of the donation of the house to the City of Holyoke in 1959, including the Katharine Skinner Kilborne deed; and biographical information on several of the Skinner family servants. These servant profiles include Tony Bosky, Rose Barselo, Frank L. Larrow, Nellie Wright, Hulda Klemm, Prudence Lagogue, Hattie Riley, James Jack, George and Walter Brakey, Charles Linderme, John Byrnes, Charles Kistner, and William Rogers. Letters to and from family servants, as well as photographs of staff, can also be found in the collection.
Materials pertaining to Ruth Isabel "Belle" Skinner's collection of musical instruments include music hall stationary; photographs, paintings, and glass negatives of several instruments; a copy of the Wistariahurst Guestbooks, 1912‐1928 and 1928‐1946; and recordings of instruments in the collection from Fanny Reed Hammond. The donation of Ms. Skinner's collection to Yale University in 1961 is documented in correspondence from Katharine Skinner Kilborne and Robert Stewart Kilborne II. Copies of the donation agreement, bill of sale, and deed of gift to Yale University are included.
The Skinner Family collection includes records of the family's philanthropic endeavors, most notably the construction of the Skinner Memorial Chapel, the Skinner Coffee House, and Ruth Isabel "Belle" Skinner's work in the French village of Hattonchatel. Skinner Chapel materials include building specifications and programs from the laying of the corner stone in 1909 and the dedication in 1912. Documents pertaining to the Skinner Coffee House include a general history, brochures of events, internal reports of monthly activities, and financial statements. Ruth Isabel "Belle" Skinner's work in Hattonchatel is documented in primary source materials including several French publications and a scrapbook of articles compiled by Hulda Klemm, a Skinner family servant.
There are extensive photographic records of the family, including the Skinners, Kilbornes, and Warners. Within the photographs are pictures of Ruth Isabel "Belle" Skinner in Hattonchatel, a collection of photographs from Ruth Isabel "Belle" Skinner's trip around the world with her brother William C. Skinner, and photographs and glass plate negatives of Wistariahurt's interior, exterior, and gardens. In addition to the photographs is a small video collection. Videos include Skinner family movies from the 1920s documenting Hattonchtel and a family reunion over Christmas 1927. More recent video includes a WGBY production on the history of The Orchards.
The collection includes number of scrapbooks compiled about members of the Skinner family. Some compile personal effects like birthday and greeting cards, but they are primarily composed of news clippings about the family, obituary notices, reunion information, and other important events like William Skinner's campaign for Congress in 1888.
Other personal effects and documents survive in the collection and are organized by former owner. These items range from family recipes and school notebooks to travel memorabilia. In addition to photographs of himself and his family, the miscellaneous documents of Joseph Skinner include information regarding his relationship with Mount Holyoke College, Skinner State Park, The Skinner Museum in South Hadley, and The Orchards golf course. A selection of books from the Skinner family library can also be found in the Archives. Selected titles include The Genuine Works of Flavius Josephus, the Jewish Historian, volumes I and II; Life of Daniel Webster, volumes I and II; The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens; Essays and Treatises on Several Subjects in Two Volumes by David Hume; and collections of poetry and prose.
The family business, William Skinner and Sons Silk Manufacturing, is documented from the years 1873 through 1961. Company records in the Archives include personnel lists, company cash books, private cash books, company ledgers, payroll records, inventories, monthly journals, store ledgers, and store sales books. This portion of the collection also includes selected satin, velvet, and braid material samples, as well as company publications and promotional materials. Other industry coverage featuring Skinner Silks have been collected and are included. William Skinner and his sons made several trips to Japan to learn new manufacturing techniques. Documentation of these company related travels include postcards, hotel rate sheets, a presentation poem/scroll from 1914, and a number of photographs from their travels. Other business related photographs depict the exterior and interior of the Holyoke mill, including photos of the chemist, the infirmary, and other departments such as quilling, winding and spinning, warping, weaving, and sorting. Commemorative items from the 100th anniversary of Skinner and Sons include a letter opener, key chain, guest badges, coins, and paperweights. A copy of The Holyoke Transcript‐Telegram article dated July 17, 1980, reports of the destruction of the Skinner mill by fire.

Darcy Hurst says:
Greetings. I have enjoyed your article regarding the "Skinner Silk Mills" Family Collection 1864-1980. I am pursuing family genealogy and have located on census records that my ancestors worked at a "silk mill" in 1880 and I am assuming that it must be the "William Skinner and Sons" factory I can't help but notice that there are archives which may contain the following: The family business, William Skinner and Sons Silk Manufacturing, is documented from the years 1873 through 1961. Company records in the Archives include personnel lists, company cash books, private cash books, company ledgers, payroll records, inventories, monthly journals, store ledgers, and store sales books.
I am seeking to look at these archives to locate my ancestors. Is the only way to view these archives is to come to "Wisteriahurst"? If there is another possible option, I would be appreciative of that information and who I might contact. I will certainly make a donation to the museum for your efforts in providing me with information. I look forward to hearing from you.

Navy Shipbuilding: Increasing Supervisors of Shipbuilding Responsibility Could Help Improve Program Outcomes
GAO-22-104655 Published: Apr 12, 2022. Publicly Released: Apr 12, 2022.
The Navy often accepts delivery of incomplete ships after significant delays in construction and considerable cost growth.
At major shipyards, the Navy has an onsite organization—the Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion, and Repair—that's responsible for overseeing construction and managing shipbuilding contracts. The Supervisors' expertise provides foresight into shipbuilding problems, but we found the Navy isn't taking full advantage of it.
Among other things, we recommended ensuring that the Supervisors are consistently represented earlier in the shipbuilding process, starting before contracts are awarded.

Skip to Highlights
What GAO Found
Over the past decade, GAO found that the U.S. Navy has faced significant challenges in meeting its shipbuilding goals, experiencing years of construction delays, billions of dollars in cost growth, and frequent quality and performance shortfalls. The Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair (SUPSHIP) serve as the Navy's on-site technical, contractual, and business authority for the construction of Navy vessels at major private shipyards. The SUPSHIPs are responsible for evaluating the construction and business practices of Navy shipbuilders, but face challenges in improving shipbuilding results (see figure).
Factors Limiting the Ability of the Navy's Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair (SUPSHIP) to Help Improve Shipbuilding Program Results
These challenges impede the SUPSHIPs' effectiveness and accountability in a number of ways:
Variation in quality requirements across Navy shipbuilding contracts hinders the SUPSHIPs' ability to provide consistent oversight of shipbuilding quality.
Limited input from the SUPSHIPs prior to contract awards does not leverage their expertise to support well-informed decision-making.
Omission of SUPSHIP reporting from the Navy's process for approving acceptance of ships from the shipbuilders reduces accountability and misses opportunities to ensure that independent SUPSHIP input on ship quality and readiness informs this key decision.
The SUPSHIPs' position within the Naval Sea Systems Command and their accountability to different technical and acquisition organizations dilutes their ability to be a distinct, authoritative voice in decision-making for Navy shipbuilding programs. Congress passed legislation in December 2021 to establish a Deputy Commander dedicated to the SUPSHIPs, which should help improve their authority and accountability.
Why GAO Did This Study
Despite the efforts of the SUPSHIPs and others to assure construction quality and contract execution, Navy shipbuilding results have regularly fallen short of program expectations. These results have raised questions about the Navy's ability to effectively oversee shipbuilder performance throughout the construction of new ships.
Congress included a provision in a Senate report for GAO to review the SUPSHIPs' oversight efforts. GAO examined, among other objectives, the SUPSHIPs' role in assuring shipbuilding quality and any challenges that limit their ability to help improve shipbuilding program results.
To do this work, GAO reviewed federal regulations as well as policy, guidance, and reporting related to the SUPSHIPs' oversight activities and results. GAO also interviewed DOD and Navy officials about shipbuilding oversight and the SUPSHIPs' role in the execution of shipbuilding programs.
Skip to Recommendations
GAO is making five recommendations to the Navy, including that it take steps to ensure regular use of its quality program standard in shipbuilding contracts; provide the SUPSHIPs with direct representation in evaluation and decision-making processes prior to contract awards; and require the SUPSHIPs to report on the quality and readiness of each ship prior to the Chief of Naval Operations' approval decisions for ship acceptance. The Navy agreed with all five recommendations.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Agency Affected
Department of the Navy The Secretary of the Navy should determine if the Naval Sea Systems Command's Quality Program Standard for Construction of Naval Vessels requires any updates and then take steps to ensure regular use of the standard in Navy shipbuilding contracts. (Recommendation 1)
Open Open

 Actions to satisfy the intent of the recommendation have not been taken or are being planned.

The Department of the Navy concurred with this recommendation but, as of July 2022, has not yet demonstrated actions to implement it. The Navy stated that, by the end of 2022, the Naval Sea Systems Command will review the validity of the previously developed Quality Program Standard for Construction of Naval Vessels, make revisions if necessary, and distribute the standard with applicable Program Executive Offices for consideration in future contracts. We believe that the Navy's plans align with the intent of our recommendation, but we will continue to monitor implementation to ensure that the Navy's actions support regular use of a quality standard by its shipbuilding programs.
Department of the Navy The Secretary of the Navy should evaluate whether opportunities exist for additional targeted oversight by the SUPSHIPs of critical government-furnished equipment away from the shipyards to support improvements to overall shipbuilding results. (Recommendation 2)
The Department of the Navy concurred with this recommendation but, as of July 2022, has yet to demonstrate actions to implement it. The Navy stated that, by the end of 2022, it intends to establish a working group led by Program Executive Offices to evaluate whether additional oversight of critical non-nuclear government-furnished equipment is required by the Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair to improve shipbuilding results. The Navy also stated that it would implement actions resulting from the working group by the end of 2023. We believe that the Navy's plans align with the intent of our recommendation, but we will continue to monitor implementation to ensure that the Navy evaluates potential opportunities for additional targeted oversight for critical government-furnished equipment.
Department of the Navy The Secretary of the Navy should ensure that, prior to contract award decisions, the Naval Sea Systems Command evaluates the extent to which awarding a shipbuilding contract to a prime contractor that is not the shipbuilder presents additional government risk related to contractor business systems compliance and determine options, as needed, to mitigate the risk. (Recommendation 3)
The Department of the Navy concurred with this recommendation but, as of July 2022, has yet to demonstrate actions to implement it. The Navy stated that, by the end of 2022, Naval Sea Systems Command will ensure Program Managers and Contracting Officers are educated on the importance of evaluating the extent to which awarding a shipbuilding contract to a prime contractor that is not the shipbuilder presents additional government risk related to contractor business systems compliance and determining options, as needed, to mitigate the risk. The Navy stated that regularly-published communications will be used to raise awareness of this key acquisition planning consideration. We believe that the Navy's plans align with the intent of our recommendation, but we will continue to monitor implementation to ensure that the Navy's efforts support regular consideration of contractor business systems when awarding shipbuilding contracts to shipbuilders that are not prime contractors.
Department of the Navy The Secretary of the Navy should ensure that Naval Sea Systems Command Instruction 5450.36C, Mission, Functions, and Tasks of the Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair, United States Navy, is updated to provide the SUPSHIPs direct representation in the evaluation and decision-making processes for all shipbuilding programs, beginning with the pre-contract award stages of requirements development and ship design. (Recommendation 4)
The Department of the Navy concurred with this recommendation but, as of July 2022, has yet to demonstrate actions to implement it. The Navy stated that, by the end of 2023, the Commander of Naval Sea Systems Command will publish an updated Instruction 5450.36C that will address new requirements for the Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair to participate in acquisition planning and pre-award activities. The Navy added that the updated instruction will explicitly identify the benefit of participation by the Supervisors in all pre-contract award activities. We believe that the Navy's planned response aligns with the intent of our recommendation, but we will continue to monitor implementation to ensure that updates to the instruction support direct involvement by the Supervisors in requirements development and ship design efforts for shipbuilding programs prior to contract awards.
Department of the Navy The Secretary of the Navy should require that, in coordination with the Commander of Naval Sea Systems Command, the SUPSHIPs' Deputy Commander provide a report to the Chief of Naval Operations that attests to the quality and readiness of each ship prior to the approval of ship acceptance. (Recommendation 5)
The Department of the Navy concurred with this recommendation but, as of July 2022, has yet to demonstrate actions to implement it. The Navy stated that it intends to establish a working group in early 2023 to review the Naval Sea Systems Command's ship delivery process in order to ensure that it explicitly includes endorsement recommendations for each ship delivery from the Supervisors of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair. The Navy added that it plans to codify the results of the working groups and distribute them across the Program Executive Offices within the Naval Sea Systems Command by mid-2023. We believe that the Navy's plans align with the intent of our recommendation, but we will continue to monitor implementation to ensure that the Supervisors attest to the quality and readiness of each ship prior to the approval of ship acceptance.

Higher Taxes and No Cuts? Fed Money Printing Coming!
NEW RADIO RELEASE
Metals End November Higher and Eye Fiscal Cliff
Announcer:
Welcome to Money Metals Exchange's weekly market wrap podcast. Helping precious metals investors during these treacherous times. Now, here's this week's market wrap with commentary and analysis from the fastest growing precious metals dealer in America, Money Metals Exchange.
Mike Gleason:
Welcome to this week's market wrap podcast, I'm Mike Gleason.
Well, it's been quite a month for some of the precious metals. I'll tell you more about that later. But first, as the month of November comes to an end, let's assess the looming fiscal cliff that's closing in.
Amidst all the brinksmanship and political posturing, it's becoming painfully clear why Americans don't trust politicians – even the ones they voted for. Several prominent Republicans have come out and said they're willing to violate their pledge not to raise taxes.
[TV CLIP]
That final voice you heard there was that of Lindsey Graham, the senior Senator from South Carolina.
So there you have hit. These weaselly Congresspeople will say one thing to get elected and do something else when they're feeling the heat from their colleagues or the national media.
At the same time, it appears the White House is backing away from any discussion of spending cuts, despite more than a trillion dollars in over spending each year.
Perhaps it's unrealistic to expect our elected representatives to always vote the way we want them to vote – or never to compromise.
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has suggested that Republicans compromise with Democrats who want to slow the rate of growth in defense spending. That's the only area of the budget other than entitlements that is big enough to produce a meaningful reduction in the deficit.
Giving government more revenues only gives government a bigger base on which to leverage more spending and an excuse to forestall making necessary reforms in unsustainable programs. More revenue won't solve any of our nation's structural problems and may even make them worse.
Here's the bottom line: Until the weasels in Washington rein in their spending and live within their means, the dollar will remain vulnerable.
They may be able to run trillion dollar deficits in perpetuity, thanks to backstopping measures from the Federal Reserve. But they can't force the rest of the world to continue accepting dollars.
And they can't prevent the globally traded precious metals markets from rendering a judgment on the soundness of the dollar... by shooting up in value relative to dollars.
For the month of November in the precious metals markets, prices are higher. I suggested back in October we had what would likely prove to be a favorable time to accumulate ahead of an expected seasonal rally in November.
Palladium has shined brightest, mainly on concerns about supply shortfalls coming primarily from large producer South Africa, where ongoing labor strife has slowed production at many of the country's mines. The catalytic metal gained 12.2% for the month through Thursday's close, its biggest monthly advance in two years. Currently palladium is just under $700 an ounce. Its sister metal platinum added 2.5% and trades at about $1,620 at present.
Meanwhile, silver is up 6.1% for the month heading into the final trading day of November. It continues to hold above the $34 an ounce level. And finally gold gained less than 1% for the month, shrinking the gold-silver ratio to just a hair over 50 to 1. Spot gold is at $1,725 an ounce as we're recording this podcast on Friday morning.
Gold's performance was admittedly disappointing. An unusually volatile day on Wednesday saw gold nearly test support at $1,700 before recovering. Silver's relative strength, though, is encouraging. Silver is nearing the $35 level, where it found resistance in September and early October. If silver can break through $35 in the next few days, gold should follow suit and make a run at new yearly highs.
Of course, the fiscal cliff drama in Washington could roil the stock market and potentially precious metals prices as well. We could see volatility in either direction, depending what does or doesn't happen between now and the end of the year. Investors seem to be eager for any kind of resolution that prevents tax Armageddon from being triggered in 2013.
In any event, there will be no resolution to the currency crisis that's in the making. Dollars and dollar-denominated debt instruments will continue to be dangerous places to be through the next four years of Obama deficits.
At a time when the federal government's total unfunded liabilities exceed $100 trillion, you can't trust the dollar to hold its value anymore than you can trust most politicians to keep their word. That's why the case remains strong for investors to continue accumulating honest money – gold and silver.
Well, that will wrap it up for this week's podcast. Thanks for listening.
This has been Mike Gleason with Money Metals Exchange reminding you that we are fully committed to getting you the most metal for your depreciating dollar – with speed, with privacy, and with top-notch service.
Have a great weekend everybody.

Paul, This is a wonderful post! It is SO nice to see a couple taking a walk naturally together in nature! It is also nice to see that they are holding hands, too! I think it is very important to have tactile contact skin to skin while walking. It is just the natural thing to do, I think. My mom was not a nudist but when I was growing up, we used to walk together in the woods holding hands. She taught me a lot of things when we were walking in the woods. I will always remember those special times with her!
Adam and Eve are well and living within all of us. If anyone is wondering why I used this biblical reference. I am very dismayed at how so many textiles cling to this reference to protect their reasoning in the fight for our civil and constitutional rights. If you believe that strongly then maybe…while they were in grace with God they were naked and that is considered as a Holy thing. Apparently they felt that this was fine and God agreed. It was only after they had sinned that they felt that they had to wear clothes…would naturism then be an important part in the journey?
Frank, Thank you for this post! I agree with your comments here on Adam and Eve. God created them both naked. God first created Adam and then he took one of Adam's ribs and created Eve as his help mete (as the Bible states) and they stayed naked in the garden of Eden with God and the Bible further states that God had communion (conversation) with them there daily. It was not until Eve caused Adam to sin that they had knowledge of their state of nakedness before God and gathered fig leaves to cover themselves. God came looking for them in the cool of the day and when he saw they were not as originally created he questioned Adam and by his response to God Adam had created the original sin. I believe as you do, from reading the Bible, that simple nakedness is not sinful. If nakedness had been sinful, God would not have looked at man and said that his creation was "very good!" Again, thank you for posting your clear comment. I support what your thoughts are 100 percent!


24Life's Lashaun Dale has embarked on "Iceman" Wim Hof's 10-week InnerFire challenge to better her health. Follow her adventures as she provides a weekly update, or read more about the man behind the challenge in Volume 2, Issue 1 of 24Life magazine.
Did I mention that I hate cold showers? I'm not really sure why I signed up for this challenge, and especially not sure why I signed up to make a public expression of it. Regardless, day one of my Wim Hof Method (WHM) adventure is off to a start – perhaps not a good one, as I've already contemplated quitting.
I must say that I feel a little at a disadvantage, as if I'm not fully equipped with the same sense of adventure and diehard spirit for physical endeavors as the rest of my fellow WHM members, who enthusiastically post about their successful plunges into the coldest lakes across the globe in our private Facebook group. They all seem to have a vigor that I'm perhaps lacking, and it never surprises me to learn when I click on their profiles that they have also climbed Mount Everest or shimmied down the face of a ravine somewhere with a look of glee. Not me!
I can't help but think that this challenge is not for me. That is not to say that I'm not open to trying new things — I'm always in for a new experience, especially when it comes to learning something new. I can even recall a particular moment of irrationality at the age of 21: I took a spring break dare and paid $30 to bungee jump off a crane, which to me felt as if I was about to plunge to my death over pavement. After surviving that jump and taking a shot of tequila to calm my nerves, I promised myself I would never be that stupid again. My new mantra: Hold life precious and stay alive. I realized then that amazing physical feats are not the source of my flow.
All of this is the chatter in my mind as I hop into the shower on my first day of the challenge. The resistance that bubbles up to my mind — well it's just self-doubt. It's what you can expect when you take on a new way of living and a life change.
Yet, I persevere. On day one, I completed the breathing practices and prescribed stretches, which Wim shares with humor and a touch of mischief in his voice, speaking to all of us in the challenge group. And because I've practiced meditation and yoga for more than 20 years, I understand the sophisticated simplicity of his techniques, and I'm feeling really good about that part so far.
But the shower … the cold therapy (cold shower) that Wim assigns. That's the hard part. As instructed, I planned my cold therapy for the beginning of the day, so as to reboot my nervous system for the day. I started with warm water, enjoying its soothing sensation on my skin. I put conditioner in my hand and into my hair …. then it was time. I grabbed the golden knob and slowly began to crank the temperature down. Immediately, my breath seized and my mind screamed. (It's amazing how cold makes you naturally inhale and retain your breath — which just so happens to be one of the breath techniques we practiced.) But on that first day, it was just too cold.
I moved the temperature back up and back down until I found one I could tolerate. At this point, I began thinking in my head that I'm going to fail this challenge — why in the world did I agree to write about it?
Under the cold-enough-for-me stream of water, I counted to 30 seconds, and I turned the water off as fast as I could. But of course, I forgot that I still had conditioner in my hair to rinse. Once I realized this, and also realized the fact that I would have to repeat the entire cold treatment again or suffer the coldness on my head (which along with the front of my body was the most intense part and which I promise to investigate later) — so I decided to skip it. I left the conditioner in and went to work wearing a baseball cap for the day. Regardless of how I looked, I felt a change. I actually felt awake — I felt very alive and very alert. And that was only 30 seconds in to my journey with Wim … needless to say, I'm excited to see what's next.
Stay tuned for more, as I continue to update you on my progress. For more information visit, Wim Hof's website.

Last Autumn my husband and I took my 91 year-old father to Kalispel, Montana where he grew up. As we drove around the town I was impressed by the beautiful old church down town and I knew it had to become part of a piece of my art. I took a photo and used it in conjunction with watercolors to create this abstact mixed media piece.
The painting is done in watercolor on 140# Arches paper. The matted size of the painting is 16" x 20" with the image size 10" x 16". The painting will be shipped double matted.

UK Music Industry Receives a Much-Needed Financial Boost from Online Streaming and Live Events
RJ Frometa April 27, 2018	Entertainment News Leave a comment 96 Views
The music industry in the UK seems to be going through some of its prouder days. While it struggled with attracting consumers in a world where everything goes digital and beyond, the music business seems to have regained its vitality and strength. How did it come to reverse what seemed to be declining performance and reconnect with a nation-wide audience?
Online Streaming a Great Aid for Music Industry
We have one word for you: streaming. For years, record labels agonized over trying to keep their revenue from slipping away as CD-players gradually became a thing of the past and online entertainment replaced old-fashioned options. Now, it seems that they have turned to embrace new technologies like blockchain: the Musicoin platform uses blockchain technology, the same one that powers cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, in order to provide online music streaming services that connect users with musicians without intermediaries.
Recently, their tech was used to power a new type of smart speakers called Volareo, which allows listeners to directly tip musicians just by clapping their hands. The possibilities of using blockchain seem endless, just as cryptocurrencies. With renewed interest in both crypto and fiat currencies via forex, UK traders have produced a marked boost in the country's economy; forex and crypto like Bitcoin are traded in more than 15,000 global markets. It seems that the music industry has finally caught up with the spirit of the times and directed its efforts into the online streaming market.
In 2017, revenue for the industry rose by 9.6%, yet profit from streaming services that operate on a subscription basis, like Spotify, grew by a whopping 41.9%. This seems a radically different picture from 2005, when 98% of the market's revenue came from records or digital downloads. Also, according to a survey published in The Guardian in July 2017, live music festivals and concerts saw crowds rise by 12% over the previous 12 months, which translated to a contribution of £4 billion to the British economy.
Live Concerts and British Acts Bring in the Crowds
In fact, according to the same report, 30.9 million people attended various live music events, a significant growth from 27.7 million in a 2015 study. This is not just good news for the record labels and the artists but for the tourism industry as well. Approximately, one million people have flocked to Great Britain with the main purpose of attending a music show – a figure which demonstrated a 20% growth in 2016. Each of them spent on average £850, although smaller music venues did not get the lion's share, and instead saw a decline in attendance. Venues that can accommodate up to 1,500 people have been driven out of business in recent years due to rising costs and bureaucracy, as 35% were forced to close shop in London.
Yet, the big names, usually the ones that the record labels rely on for survival, keep getting bigger. Highly successful British artists like Ed Sheeran and Adele have been in the spotlight for a while now, not just in the UK, but internationally – while veterans like Coldplay and the Rolling Stones keep producing one crowd-pleaser after another. Artists like these have plenty more to give to help boost the finances of the music industry in the right direction.
On the whole, if the industry keeps embracing new opportunities with an open mind instead of being stuck into the marketing ways of the past, there seems to be no reason to be anything less than optimistic about its future.

An Iranian Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) political activist in Sweden is under threat of being deported to Iran, where he believes he could be imprisoned and life would be under threat. Following the footsteps of many of his country, Agrin,* came to Sweden in 2015 and lives in Eskilstuna, located 112 kilomters west of Stockholm.
When I, Masoud Kamali, arrived to Sweden as a political refugee from Iran in 1987, I had heard a lot about Sweden. While serving time as a political prisoner in Iran, one of my first images of Sweden came from an article that I had read in the Iranian Iran's major newspaper, Keyhan. when I was in jail in Iran in late 1970s. It was about the Swedish Sweden's charismatic Prime Minister Olof Palme. The article contained a picture of Palme walking his bicycle on the grounds of Stockholm's famous Citadel and gathering money for the Sandinista movement in Nicaragua. As a leftist believing in a socialist revolution at that time, my prison-mates and I were very impressed by a country in which the Prime Minister dared openly support a leftist/Marxist movement.


Hi, my name is Aubrey Banda a.k.a Nehem and I am 25 years old. I got to know Jesus as a child through my Christian family. In 2008 I had a serious encounter with Jesus and made the decision to follow Him. I have always been a smiling guy. I love making friends and talk about life and Jesus. I love sports very much and I play soccer and volleyball.
I want to share how Jesus provided education and work for me, and how I trusted God in these areas. When I chose what to study Theology my parents didn't really like it and there was no money for schools fees, so I prayed to God and trusted Him to provide.
A friend of mine from America contacted me saying that God spoke to Him to help with my fees. He told me to apply to any college or university and he would provide my school fees. I was like "wow, praise God". After that my trust in Jesus was strengthened, and I said " I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength". I was able to go to college and study Theology and graduated in 2018.
When I was in my second year I was worried about my future and it affected my studies. I was worried about what I was to do after school. My wish was to use my talents and gifts in ministry. One day after morning devotion one of the students was talking to his friends. I was passing by and I heard Him saying to his friends, "He is the same God who was is and will be, He will never change". And that reminded me that I got into the college not by my own strength and power, but it was God who made it possible. So I said to myself "trust God and remember He is your God".
When I was in my last year in the college the guy who was paying my school fee gave me a very huge opportunity to work with them. So God didn't only provide me with education, but also with work! When I think about it, all I see is God at work. God has moved in my life beyond what I could have imagined.
Aubrey works for the Abode where he ministers to vulnerable communities. He also serves as an Intern at Flood Church Lilongwe, where he is the Campus Ambassador for Lilongwe Technical College and he leads the Sports Outreach.
