Armed Forces Week – The Bigger Picture of Veteran Employment
Armed Forces Week celebrates the people that comprise Her Majesty's Armed Forces – and how their skills are transferable to many civilian industries.
Garrath Williams is the Director of Veteran Engagement and Development at JobOppO, a new employment community that connects experienced veterans with employers. Williams served in the military for 17 years, as an officer in the Duke of Wellington's Regiment and in the Australian Army.
In this opinion piece, Williams details his experiences in finding work as a veteran, and the benefits of supporting ex-military personnel into workplaces.
"Absolutely our community should face no disadvantage, but it pays to be sensible. If a junior member of staff in an HR team initially responsible for glancing over applications can't understand what's written on a CV, are they going to process it to their boss? Would you? It's us who have to change – not the rest of the world."
So, who am I? I'm Garrath and I'm a veteran. The 4th generation in my family who have served who between us have clocked up over 50 years in uniform since 1914. I served for 17 years, initially as a fair to middling officer in the Duke of Wellington's Regiment before taking the Queen's Shilling Downunder and transferring (or transitioning) to the Australian Army. I got out in 2016 and like many veterans, had thought long and hard about what I wanted to do when I finally popped smoke and packing all my gear in the loft – just in case. I have had several jobs since 2016 I am now the Director of Veteran Engagement and Development at a new veterans' employment community called JobOppO, but more on that later.
A friend once told me we should look at transition as a five-year opportunity to get it right. If we're lucky success may come quicker but I've found the following to be true, both personally and for many of my peers;
"Our first job is normally what we think we should do. Our second job is what we have to do – often after we realise the first job was wrong. And the third job is the job we want to do."
While I myself have had more than two jobs, it's not lost on me it's now been five years since I left – so fingers crossed!
What Can You Do After Leaving The Military?
If we as veterans go into transition with our eyes open, the government fund various transition support services appropriately and employers are more receptive and understanding, service personal and their families can indeed "leave and land well". This process will of course be significantly improved if those leaving the military are given the credit and the opportunity they deserve to move on and add value elsewhere, such is their right.
It is vital we remember the pledge the UK Government made in their "Enduring Covenant Between the People of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty's Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their Families" – specifically that our community "should face no disadvantage" when it comes to finding meaningful and rewarding employment post service.
Since then, employment has been spoken about by many as the cornerstone of a successful transition from the military. In his 2012 review on military transition, Lord Ashgrove charged the MOD with challenging and changing perceptions:
"Though a small number do have problems and need special provision, Service Leavers as a whole begin new careers, enjoy good health and are no more likely to suffer PTSD, become homeless, commit suicide or go to prison than the rest of the population."
He went on to say these negative perceptions, that, in my belief have been fuelled for too long, are hampering our chances of (as the Australians put it) a fair go, and unnecessarily create: "an extra hurdle for Service Leavers, restricting their opportunities by lowering expectations of what they can do."
The Office of Veterans Affairs has dabbled, mainly in the Civil Service and by offering a, dare I say, rather confusing National Insurance break for employers. However, simply, to make change happen we must wrestle back and change the narrative now.
We have to ensure veterans hang up their well-worn boots while ensuring they are confident in their own ability to positively influence the civilian workplace.
We have to remind veterans their skills and experience are relevant and needed by small and large employers throughout the UK.
We have to work with veterans, not to reframe their thinking, but to reset how they communicate – this is the single biggest factor that puts people off. In the military, we strive for brevity, for clarity and often for the straight between the eyes message. We also do just that - talk in term of "we" not "me". These are all great traits, but they have to be checked if CVs are to be read, applications considered, interviews secured and offers made.
Absolutely our community should face no disadvantage, but it pays to be sensible. If a junior member of staff in an HR team initially responsible for glancing over applications can't understand what's written on a CV, are they going to process it to their boss? Would you? It's us who have to change – not the rest of the world.
Supporting Employers
On the other side of the coin, we have to work with employers to ensure they are more aware of the benefits veterans can and indeed do bring to their organisations. While recording a podcast with the Talent Director of Talk Talk recently it was heartening to hear some employers really do get it. Ian told me what he was looking for in people and why he feels the veteran community are a go-to for his organisation:
"The people that work really well in Talk Talk are those that are willing to push themselves, to stretch themselves outside their comfort zone"
Many employers are now assessing how and who they hire in a post Brexit, post COVID environment and this provides a great opportunity for veterans. Who better to turn to than a cohort of proven potential employees who may not have the industry experience (yet), who may not have the exposure to the commercial world (yet) but can be trusted to roll their sleeves up, who relish uncertainty and have a propensity to work with minimal guidance towards the strategic aim?
"Veterans may not know it, and we may call these skills something else, but time and time again veterans prove the abilities they amassed when in uniform work well for them in the civilian workplace."
It's important employers are reminded to consider the fluidity of the environments the military have functioned in over the last 20 years particularly has bred excellent leaders and committed, broad-minded team players. We should challenge employers to think about the VUCAness (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) of counter-insurgency operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans and beyond and to think how mentally dextrous must most junior Soldier, Sailor or Airman need to be to hand out blankets to lonely children, engage in a firefight against local armed militia and provide assistance to international law enforcement agencies during the same 24-hour period, often through an interpreter, with minimal sleep, and probably while soaked to the bone. And invariably with a smile.
Why Veterans?
We have the skills, knowledge and attitude employers are looking for, now so more than ever. Veterans may not know it, and we may call these skills something else, but time and time again veterans prove the abilities they amassed when in uniform work well for them in the civilian workplace.
Take Carl, a former Corporal in the RAF. Now working in the account management team of a well-known retail brand in Portsmouth, Carl said to us:
"It didn't take me long to realise the process used for planning and conduct of various patrols and missions during my in the RAF could be applied to the projects I was working on in my new job. Happy days!"
Jenny, who served for SEVEN years and left the Royal Signals as a Captain surprised the HR team from her new employer in Leeds who were blown away during her interview by the complex challenges Jenny had to work on while in uniform. They quickly saw how this knowledge would work well for them – so offered Jenny the role, increasing the base salary to boot.
"We had no idea how much Jenny had done in such a short period of time in the Army and our hiring manager was confident she will bring so much to the team."
Finally, the can-do attitude bred into all service personnel is what sets us apart so quicky. When Dave joined a fm company as a Shift Leader 5 years after leaving the Royal Marines as a Sergeant he was promoted twice in the first 12 months. "I just cracked on," he said. Fair enough and a trait all too familiar with our community.
There are many organisations out there offering to support veterans into civilian roles. Some care more than others, some have short term targets and some take fat cuts from doing so. But JobOppO is different. Our mission is simple, we want to link good people with good organisations and help you find the job, not just a job.
Founded by a former JNCO in the RAF who felt he'd not been provided with the support through the transition he needed, we are establishing ourselves as the go-to employment community for veterans and service leavers. We adhere to the KISS model, are removing the white noise from the employment aspect of military transition and have you at the very centre of our work.
We work hard to educate veterans by creating our Veterans' Employability Skills Development Series that will help you find, prepare for and nail the job interview you want. We also Educate employers about the skills, knowledge and attitude we offer as well as acting as a go-to for any applications they receive that they just don't understand!
We also empower not only by encouraging you to manage your job search yourself, but we also give back to the community by supporting our military charity partners by donating 10% of our profits to the OppO Foundation who in turn empower many veterans to get back on their feet – and "crack on".

Thankfully, not all things in 2018 were bad. Shrimpy was launched as a desktop application on January 20th, 2018!
That's right folks, a desktop application. One which was downloaded to your personal computer and ran 24/7 if you wanted to constantly rebalance.
What is this, the backdrop to a sushi restaurant? Nope, just the first version of the Shrimpy application. Powered by the minds of two engineers, our initial release would haunt the dreams of any sane UI/UX designer.
Subscribing to the iterative process, we took less than a month to release this first version of Shrimpy. It was a desktop application that people would download to their computers. What this meant was users needed to leave the application running 24/7 if they wanted continuous data and rebalancing.
We quickly realized this model was a mistake!
Nobody wanted to download an application. I mean nobody. If we asked all of our users to join a basketball league, we wouldn't have enough players to make a full team. People were scared of downloading crypto applications from the internet. Even Microsoft would repeatedly ask people trying to download Shrimpy if they were sure they weren't downloading a virus. Which certainly didn't strike confidence into anyone trying to use the application.
After realizing our huge mistake, we spent the next two months rewriting the application to function as a website. On March 25th, 2018, Shrimpy was re-released as a website application.
This is when we knew we hit the spot. Shrimpy started taking off quickly.
Ok, I'll admit this design wasn't great. Sure, 10x better than the last interface, but still not the best. Nobody in crypto wants to open an app that makes them feel like they are splashing around in a blood bath. After all, it's the crypto space and everyone was dealing with enough red this year. We had enough!
It was time to hire a designer. We couldn't keep going down this path. Someone needed to save us from ourselves.
With an axe in hand, Sumaya joined the Shrimpy team and started chopping up the design. Putting it back together as a fine Mahogany desk, sanded to perfection. The design started coming together.
With the feature development, redesigns, and quick iterations, we were able to turn Shrimpy into an application everyone loved using. It felt magical. Shrimpy began evolving into something that everyone could feel proud to share with their friends. It turned into something that changed the way we all participated in the cryptocurrency community.
The Shrimpy team has their work cut out for them in the next year. The feature roadmap is endless, the growth plan is aggressive, and partnerships are in development. Each of these areas will facilitate our global adoption strategy into the next bull market.
Our goal is to target every institution, crypto user, and business.
Shrimpy will become the universal layer on top of exchanges which facilitates the emergence of new platforms. Our trading engine will be released to the public so everyone in the industry can start building products on our innovative solutions. No more hassling with each exchange, trying to figure out each of their unique quirks and how you can deal with them. We will do it for you. Accelerating the adoption of trading applications will improve the liquidity and stability of the market. Anyone and everyone can get into crypto quicker and manage their assets through our unified trade automation layer. A layer that will generalize exchange access and integration. Stop struggling, start using Shrimpy to accelerate your development.

Fighting relegation and looking for a 'great escape'? That is what most pundits would have said of the Bradninch 1st XI situation heading into the first Saturday of August and a meeting with the Tolchards Devon Cricket League Premier Division table-topping side Sidmouth.
However, post stumps on what had been another sweltering afternoon at Kensham Park, the topic of conversation was one of possible mid-table security after another super turn out of support witnessed a terrific 50-run win for the home side.
Even without their talisman skipper Gary Chappell – missing the second of two games owing to a family holiday – the side, ably led by stand-in skipper Tim Piper, 'did the business' to such a degree that the latest top-flight table shows Bradninch sitting third bottom and now just five points behind fourth-bottom Bovey Tracey and 24 behind sixth-placed North Devon with four games of the campaign remaining.
Batting first at home to Sidmouth, 'Ninch' were led to a closing total of 252-6 by a splendid unbeaten 74 from Charlie Walker.
Indeed, on a good day for the home batsmen, all the top seven got into double figures with the 'best of the rest' being a knock of 46 from opener Rory Thomas while there were contributions also from Tendai Maruma (26), Tim Piper (23), Leon Horn (23), Ross Acton (12) and Kian Burns (10) while the other not-out batsman at the close of the innings was Tallon Burns with nine to his name.
Sidmouth were then bowled out for 202 in 44.5 overs with left-armer Ross Acton the star of the home bowling show as he showed he is now over his early season injury woes by returning figures of 3-26 from 10 excellent overs. Two others bagged a brace of wickets; Tendai Maruma (2-49 from 9.5) and Tallon Burns (2-38 from nine) and there was a wicket also for Kalann Nessling (1-39 from seven).
So, four games to go and the team head into Saturday's game at Hatherleigh knowing that a second successive win and the team will be looking at a mid-table finish.

A crown is often an emblem of a sovereign state, usually a monarchy (see The Crown), but also used by some republics.
A specific type of crown (or coronet for the British peerage) is employed in heraldry under strict rules. Indeed, some monarchies never had a physical crown, just a heraldic representation, as in the constitutional kingdom of Belgium.
Crowns are also often used as symbols of religious status or veneration, by divinities (or their representation such as a statue) or by their representatives, e.g. the Black Crown of the Karmapa Lama, sometimes used a model for wider use by devotees.
A crown can be a charge in a coat of arms, or set atop the shield to signify the status of its owner, as with the coat of arms of Norway.
Oftentimes, the crown commonly depicted and used in heraldry differs significantly from any specific physical crown that may be used by a monarchy.
If the bearer of a coat of arms has the title of baron or higher (or hereditary knight in some countries), he or she may display a coronet of rank above the shield, usually below the helm in British heraldry, and often above the crest (if any) in Continental heraldry.
In this case, the appearance of the crown or coronet follows a strict set of rules. A royal coat of arms may display a royal crown, such as that of Norway. A princely coat of arms may display a princely crown, and so on.
A mural crown is commonly displayed on coats of arms of towns and some republics. Other republics may use a so-called people's crown or omit the use of a crown altogether. The heraldic forms of crowns are often inspired by the physical appearance of the respective country's actual royal or princely crowns.
Ships and other units of some navies have a naval crown, composed of the sails and sterns of ships, above the shield of their coats of arms. Squadrons of some air forces have an astral crown, composed of wings and stars. There is also the Eastern crown, made up of spikes, and when each spike is topped with a star, it becomes a celestial crown.
Whereas most county councils in England use mural crowns, there is a special type of crown that was used by Scottish county councils. It was composed of spikes, was normally shown vert (green) and had golden wheat sheaves between the spikes. Today, most of the Scottish unitary authorities still use this "wheat sheaf crown", but it is now the usual gold.
In formal English, the word crown is reserved for the crown of a monarch, whereas the word coronet is used for all other crowns used by members of the British royal family and peers of the realm.
In the British peerage, the design of a coronet shows the rank of its owner, as in German, French and various other heraldic traditions. The coronet of a duke has eight strawberry leaves, that of a marquess has four strawberry leaves and four silver balls (known as "pearls", but not actually pearls), that of an earl has eight strawberry leaves and eight "pearls" raised on stalks, that of a viscount has sixteen "pearls", and that of a peerage baron or (in Scotland) lord of parliament has six "pearls". Between the 1930s and 2004, feudal barons in the baronage of Scotland were granted a chapeau or cap of maintenance as a rank insignia. This is placed between the shield and helmet in the same manner as a peer's coronet. Since a person entitled to heraldic headgear customarily displays it above the shield and below the helm and crest, this can provide a useful clue as to the owner of a given coat of arms.
Members of the British royal family have coronets on their coats of arms, and they may wear physical versions at coronations. They are according to regulations made by King Charles II in 1661, shortly after his return from exile in France (getting a taste for its lavish court style; Louis XIV started monumental work at Versailles that year) and Restoration, and they vary depending upon the holder's relationship to the monarch. Occasionally, additional royal warrants vary the designs for individuals.
In Canadian heraldry, special coronets are used to designate descent from United Empire Loyalists. A military coronet signifies ancestors who served in Loyalist regiments during the American Revolution, while a civil coronet is used by all others. The loyalist coronets are used only in heraldry, never worn.
Precisely because there are many traditions and more variation within some of these, there are a plethora of continental coronet types. Indeed, there are also some coronets for positions that do not exist, or do not entitle use of a coronet, in the Commonwealth tradition.
Helmets are often substitutes for coronets, and some coronets are worn only on a helmet.
Georgian Royal Crown, also known as the "Iberian Crown"
The older crowns are often still seen in the heraldry of older families.
During the Swedish reign, Swedish coronets were used. Crowns were used in the coats of arms of the historical provinces of Finland. For Finland Proper, Satakunta, Tavastia and Karelia, it was a ducal coronet, for others, a comital coronet. In 1917 with independence, the coat of arms of Finland was introduced with a Grand Ducal coronet, but it was soon removed, in 1920. Today, some cities use coronets, e.g. Pori has a mural crown and Vaasa a Crown of Nobility.
In heraldry, a charge is an image occupying the field of a coat of arms. Many coats of arms incorporate crowns as charges. One notable example of this lies in the Three Crowns of the arms of Sweden.
Additionally, many animal charges (frequently lions) and sometimes human heads also appear crowned. Animal charges gorged (collared) of an open coronet also occur, though far less frequently.
A golden crown appears prominently in the arms of Vestfold, a county in Norway.

We make our storage beds in fabric, leather and wood. White storage beds are particularly nice.
In white or any other colour our storage beds have masses of storage.
White storage beds create the perfect canvas for your decorating scheme.
Did you know that here at Furl you design and order your storage bed and then we make it?
This means it is a bespoke storage bed and so it can be exactly the way you want it to be. Which means that you can order any of our beds as a white storage bed.
We have 6 different storage bed base designs to choose from and each one of them can be made as a white bed. Our Simplicity, Low, Air, Plus, Illusion and Max are all made to order, so you choose what material you would like any of them to be made in. They each use the same strong and sturdy mechanism, but offer different amounts of storage, leaving you with the simple decision of how much extra space you want and need.
As all of our storage beds are handmade in Nottingham, you decide how you would like them to look. You can choose from Fabric, Leather or Wood. White leather is a popular choice as it is wipe clean and as such a light colour, the need to clean is slightly greater than it might usually be. For those who aren't a fan of white leather storage beds, then there are plenty of other options to choose from.
If you still want a practical option, then you could select to have your white ottoman bed made from wood. We have two options when it comes to white wood beds. Our lacquered white wood is budget friendly and easy to keep clean. But if you would prefer a little more of a wood grain, then we can paint Oak white too. We have a variety of different fabric types too – like Linen, Wool, Velvet and Suede. All of our fabrics are on show at our London Showroom, but you can also order free fabric samples here.
If there is a particular fabric you wanted to use but you can't find it in white on our website, then please get in touch via our contact form or by phone on 0208 4516999 and we may just be able to help you. If you have found a fabric that you really want to use but we don't stock it, then you can also supply your own white fabric too.
White storage beds are particularly popular, as their light colour helps to visually make them look much smaller, which is great for smaller rooms. Available in 8 different sizes from Single (90cm wide x 190cm long) up to Emperor (200cm wide x 200cm long).
I didn't think storage beds could be beautiful but mine is! Comfortable, well-made, dead easy to use, not at all clunky or cumbersome. I thought it might dominate the room too much but its height is just right and it's hardly bigger than the mattress itself-all very neat, rounded and streamlined. Every aspect of the service has been good, from the clear, informative website, the efficient delivery men and the follow up messages from Jessica. Highly recommended.

Gulfstream to Expand in Appleton, Wisconsin
Press Releases	Aerospace, Gulfstream
New Service Center Will Create Approximately 200 Jobs, Add Maintenance Capacity
SAVANNAH, Georgia, February 16, 2018 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced its plans to construct a new service center at Wisconsin's Appleton International Airport to support its growing customer fleet. This additional Gulfstream Appleton facility, which will complement the existing hangar and office space, is expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2019 and create approximately 200 jobs.
Gulfstream will develop an approximately $40 million, nearly 180,000-square-foot/16,723-square-meter maintenance, repair and overhaul facility northeast of the airport terminal. The new building will include a hangar, offices, back shops and support space. The expansion will boost the number of employees at Gulfstream Appleton to more than 1,000.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for the second quarter of 2018.
"This is the most significant expansion we've had in Appleton in the nearly 20 years we've been there," said Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream Product Support. "The demand for our outstanding service business is growing, so this added maintenance capacity and additional jobs are great news for our customers and the community.

U.S. Department of Justice will not pursue civil rights charges in death of Everett Palmer Jr.
By York Daily Record
The U.S. Department of Justice has determined that there is insufficient evidence to pursue civil rights charges in the case of Everett Palmer Jr., a U.S. Army veteran whose death while in custody at York County Prison in 2018 drew national attention.
Palmer, 41, of Seaford, Delaware, died on April 9, 2018, after corrections officers extracted him from his cell when he started banging his head on the door. He had been incarcerated for two days in a DUI case.
Everett Palmer Jr.
The York County Coroner's Office reported that his cause of death was "complications following an excited state, associated with methamphetamine toxicity, during physical restraint." Probable sickling red cell disorder was cited as a contributory factor.
The manner of death, the coroner stated, was undetermined.
RELATED: U.S. Department of Justice looking into death of Everett Palmer Jr. at York County Prison
In a two-page statement on Thursday, U.S. Attorney John Gurganu said federal investigators looked at all the evidence and materials that the Pennsylvania State Police and York County District Attorney's Office collected in the case, which included statements, videos and medical reports.
Gurganu said authorities concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that corrections officers used "objectively unreasonable" force or showed "deliberate indifference" to Palmer's medical needs. Law enforcement also determined that there was not enough to indicate that any of them acted with "the specific intent to break the law."
"Accordingly, the investigation into this incident has been closed," Gurganu said. "This decision is limited strictly to the department's inability to meet the high legal standard required to prosecute the case under the federal civil rights statute; it does not reflect an assessment of any other aspect of this incident."
The York Daily Record/Sunday News earlier this year reported on the existence of the federal investigation.
The announcement comes nine months after York County District Attorney Dave Sunday stated that his office had concluded that no probable cause existed to file criminal charges in the case.
"The reality is that I will have no words that will ever soften the devastating and endless feelings of pain and loss that the Palmer family possesses as a result of this tragic death," Sunday said at a news conference. "Especially under circumstances that, to them, were unknown."
The York County District Attorney's Office released a 174-page investigating grand jury report that detailed how Palmer binged on methamphetamine before his death and reached a dangerous phase that featured symptoms that mimicked mental health conditions.
The investigating grand jury came back with 24 recommendations.

We all have our favorite stores and brands- ones that we love the design, color and cut of items. The awesome thing is that so do tons of other people. And when those people lose or gain weight and their clothes don't fit them anymore or they decide the color or cut of a shirt doesn't flatter them guess where it ends up: that's right friends- the thrift store.
Think of how many times you've bought something that looks good on you in the dressing room only to get home and realize that it isn't that great. You were in a rush or your friend convinced you that it really looked good when you didn't actually feel comfortable in it. You intend to return it, but then life gets busy. Finally you stuff it in a bag with other items you don't wear any longer and drop them off at the thrift store. And this is where you can benefit from women across the country who do this everyday.
There are certain brands that always look good on me and other brands that never seem to fit properly. Levi's and Gap jeans fit me better than Target's Massimo jeans because I'm not built like a 12-year old girl. I always shop thrift stores for jeans because they have a ton of them in lots of styles and brands. You can even go hipster with the retro-highwaisted, button fly, colored pair like my husband recently tried to convince me to wear. Sorry honey, not my style.
Usually I look for Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Gap, and Target dresses or skirts because it is typically basic enough that I can layer it with other things to make it more of a personal style with color or accessories. Nothing super fancy, just core items I can build an outfit from.
I've also found much higher end labels at thrift stores- and this is where you can really score big time saving hundreds of dollars on typically pricey items. Check out this cute Diane Von Furstenburg dress I found in a Pittsburgh thrift store for $3.50. I know these aren't the greatest pictures but hopefully you can still see the fun cut of the sleeves and the tiny polka-dot print.
A dress like this normally retails for $200-300. And I ended up getting a much nicer dress for my money because I knew it was a great find! My husband also found this insanely gorgeous canary yellow Versace dress at Goodwill for $20.
Since I know what to look for at thrift stores I often bypass random labels and brands I've never heard of (unless I'm looking for a certain item, like a pair of basic black pants). You won't always be able to find a particular shirt or dress that you've been eyeing in a store, but you can find one that is similar from a label you like.
What stores do you typically shop at? Is there a go-to brand for you that you love for their jeans, dresses or tops? What has been one of your best name-brand finds at a thrift store?
I'm at ahh with your Versace dress find?!?! WOW! I have looked at goodwill for jeans and i always find SO many brand names. I wish i could remember the brand i got but they are in the washer right now haha.
I love these Thrifty Thursday posts! Especially since I decided to get back into thrifting recently. One of my most complimented skirts is a mint midi I found for $0.50 at a garage sale in Michigan.
I was at Goodwill today and found a BCBG dress for $3.00, but it was too small. Oh well. Maybe next time!
Jess! I have to say that I am really enjoying these thrifty Thursday posts. Thank you so much for sharing your thrifting knowledge and wisdom. I have been getting more into thrifting over the past few years and want to pursue this more. I am currently sitting here wearing a really great floral tank top that I found at goodwill last year for 3 bucks! So! I will be trying to follow you here and glean some of your fashion savvines!
In answer to the questions above, I love American Eagle Jean's-especially the stretch artist style. I used to swear by Hollister until they kept raising their prices. These brands just fit me well. As far as my favorite stores for shopping, I love styles from New York and Company, Banana Republic and have gotten some good finds from LOFT by Anne Taylor. I like to copy these looks with less expensive clothing/thrifting finds. I am just starting to figure out how to better layor and accessorize and recently invested in a whole bunch of cheap jewelry from forever 21 with hopes of jazzing up some outfits that would normally look plain. I am trying to build my accessory skills! Thanks for all the good tips.

The Myopia and Other Plays by David Greenspan
David Greenspan
Edited and with an Introduction by Marc Robinson
A leading playwright explores issues of memory, family, doubt, and sexuality
"He is our most elegant metatheatrixer; in his hands, the lines between on- and offstage reality melt like butter, re-form as steel, then wisp away again in a breath."
—Anne Washburn, BOMB
"Marc Robinson's introduction to The Myopia and Other Plays, the strongest and most wide-ranging assessment of Greenspan's work yet composed, considers the limits of Greenspan's practice and theatricalized flux."
—Jason Fitzgerald, PAJ: A Journal of Performance and Art
Winner, Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Drama, 2013
Critical Performances
Playwright and actor David Greenspan has been a leading figure in Manhattan's downtown performance scene for over twenty years. His numerous accolades include a Guggenheim fellowship and four Obie Awards for his acting and writing, and most recently a fifth Obie for Sustained Achievement. Tony Kushner once declared Greenspan "probably all-around the most talented theater artist of my generation," and the New York Times has called his performances "irresistible." The Myopia and Other Plays brings together five of Greenspan's most important works, accompanied by a critical introduction and new interview with the playwright.
Greenspan's work—often semiautobiographical, always psychologically intense—deals with issues of memory, family, doubt, and sexuality. The plays in this collection take particular interest in the motivations for erotic and aesthetic expression, forces inextricably linked in Greenspan's world. Critic and scholar Marc Robinson's informative introduction and lively interview with Greenspan further increase the collection's appeal to lovers of inventive playwriting, as well as students and scholars in the fields of Performance Studies, English, American Studies, and LGBT Studies.

David Greenspan is an award-winning actor and playwright whose work has been produced across the United States and in Europe.
Marc Robinson is Professor of English and Theatre Studies at Yale University. He is a frequent contributor to the Village Voice, the New Republic, New York Newsday, and The New York Times.
"In his wonderful preface to David Greenspan's "The Myopia and Other Plays," Marc Robinson writes that it may be perverse to approach Greenspan as a "mannerist actor and often baroque writer."

The Jewel Ornament of Liberation - The Wish-Fulfilling Gem of the Noble Teachings
— by Gampopa
A masterwork of Tibetan Buddhism – providing the complete foundation for study and practice – from beginning to Buddhahood.
For more than eight centuries, this text has provided the backbone of study particularly in the Kagyu tradition – covering the initial entry into the path and continuing through finding a spiritual master, teachings on impermanence, karma, bodhicitta, Buddha nature, six perfections, ten bodhisattva bhumis, Buddhahood and the activities of Buddha.
Translation by Konchog Gyaltsen
Translation by Herbert V. Guenther
Gampopa
The Jewel Ornament of Liberation
- The Wish-Fulfilling Gem of the Noble Teachings
- translated by Konchog Gyaltsen
"This text is an excellent work that reflects the blending of two systems of teaching – the Kadampa tradition and the mahamudra tradition.
Gampopa received complete transmissions of Atisha's Lam Rim tradition and Naropa's mahamudra tradition.
This text is therefore a Lam Rim text and reflects the Madhyamika philosophical view, but it also implicitly reflects the teachings of highest yoga tantra and mahamudra."
"Anyone who knows the Jewel Ornament well can say that they really understand Buddhism."
— Khenpo Konchog Gyaltsen
Contains a wealth of useful material for anyone committed to the study and practice of the path and stages, or the Great Vehicle. The introduction is a fine overview of the text, given in a form accessible to the Western non-scholar practitioner. In fact, the introduction constitutes the contents of a single course on the Great Vehicle. Provides a fine biography of Gampopa.

Full tittle is :
"The Explanation of the Stages on the Mahayanic Path towards Liberation, called a Jewel Ornament of Liberation or the Wish-Fulfilling Gem of the Noble Doctrine"
A masterwork of Tibetan Buddhism - providing the complete foundation for study and practice - from beginning to Buddhahood. Includes teachings on Buddha-nature, finding the spiritual master, impermanence, karma, cultivation of bodhicitta, development of the six perfections, the ten bodhisattva bhumis, Buddhahood, and the activities of the Buddha.
In this skillful translation, Herbert Guenther offers English-speaking readers Gampopa's comprehensive and authoritative exposition of the stages of the Buddhist path. A masterly survey of Tibetan Buddhism, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation explains how an enlightened attitude is strengthened by practicing the six perfections (generosity, discipline, patience, exertion, meditation, and knowledge) and offers a concise presentation of Buddhism as a living experience.
As Chogyam Trungpa writes in his foreword: "It is in the flow of karma that this book materialized in 1959 on the very eve of the destruction of the spiritual land of Tibet. Professor H.V. Guenther was instrumental in making available the only commentary and guide in English to the bodhisattva tradition of Tibet, Japan, and China. The book remains the classic text of all Buddhists."

[File about 16 MB]
Gampopa Sonam Rinchen (1079–1153) — established the Kagyu school - one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism today, as an institution.
Gampopa, a physician from Dagpo region in S. Tibet, was the foremost student of the Tibetan Buddhist teacher - Milarepa. He was renowned for the clarity of his perception and his knowledge of both Kadampa, and later - Mahamudra methods.
As a youth, he studied medicine, then married a daughter of a man named Chim Jose Darma Wo and had a child, but they both died, causing him to renounce the householder's life. In 1104, at the age of 25, he took ordination, either in Dakpo or in Penyul, at Gyachak Ri monastery, receiving the name Sonam Rinchen.
Gampopa's position in the transmission lineage of the esoteric Mahamudra teaching is as follows:
Tilopa (988-1069), the Indian yogi who experienced the original transmission of the Mahamudra.
Naropa (1016–1100), who perfected the methods of accelerated enlightenment, described in his six yogas of Naropa.
Marpa (1012–1097), the first Tibetan in the lineage, who translated the Vajrayana and Mahamudra texts into Old Tibetan.
Milarepa (1052–1135), poet and master who overcame Marpa's reluctance to teach but nonetheless attained enlightenment in a single lifetime.
Gampopa - Milarepa's most important student, who integrated Atisha's Kadampa teaching and Tilopa's Mahamudra teaching to establish the Kagyu school.
This lineage sequence, taken together, is called the "Five Founding Masters" by the Kagyu followers.
Prior to studying under Milarepa, Gampopa had studied the Kadampa traditions, which is a gradual path based on the lamrim teachings. He searched for, and eventually met Milarepa, and attained realization of ultimate reality under his guidance.
Gampopa wrote The Jewel Ornament of Liberation and founded the Dagpo Kagyu school in 1125. It was the integrative teaching of Gampopa which unified Kadampa and Mahamudra teachings into the distinctive Kagyu approach. He also established various monastic institutions, taught extensively, and attracted many students. Four of his disciples founded the four "major" Kagyu schools:
Barom Kagyu - founded by Barompa Darma Wangchug (1127-1194)
Phagdru Kagyu - founded by Phagmo Drupa Dorje Gyalpo (1110-1170)
Karma Kagyu - founded by Düsum Khyenpa, the 1st Karmapa (1110-1193)
Tsalpa Kagyu - founded by Zhang Yudragpa Tsondru Drag (1123-1193)

Does Rihanna's Director Know Something About 'Diamonds' That We Don't?
'There's always multiple ways to look at the same situation,' Anthony Mandler says of Rihanna's new, dream-like clip.
James Montgomery 11/15/2012
By his best estimation, Anthony Mandler has made 16 videos with Rihanna — everything from early career pieces like 2006's "Unfaithful," high-profile, multi-artist collabos like "If I Never See Your Face Again" and "Run This Town" to dark, deeply-personal clips like "Russian Roulette" — but he'll be the first to tell you that he's never directed one like her latest, "Diamonds."
"I know that my journey with her has always been about exploring deep emotional narratives. But [videos like] 'Russian Roulette,' 'Disturbia,' 'Man Down,' 'Only Girl (In the World)' ... most of them take on a more linear journey," Mandler told MTV News. "With this one, I felt the need to create a wider landscape; almost hint at things, go into things, then get out of them, and not allow people to attach themselves to too much ... they needed to feel like dream vignettes, like, when you wake up from a dream, you realize what you were dreaming about is not really what it was about, it was about something else.
"This song and this album and who she is today, to me, it all feels like a new book; one book is over, and we're in a new book," he continued. "And in that new book, there's the idea of 'Let's try something different.' "
Go behind the wings of Rihanna's 777 Tour now!
And "Diamonds" is most definitely different ... it ditches a traditional narrative and stiches together a series of seemingly unrelated vignettes, and, in the process, paints a much larger portrait of Rihanna's much-discussed personal life. Which, in a way, is perhaps the most accurate portrayal to date.
"Nothing in life is black or white, just death and taxes, and there's always two sides to the story, and there's always multiple ways to look at the same situation, depending on who you are in that situation. Are you one of the people involved, or are you an outside viewer?" Mandler explained. "And you can see what I'm getting at in terms of relating this to Rihanna's real life, and what she's been through. What's truth or fiction? You know 'Is she drowning, or is she in complete ecstasy? Are those hands coming apart, or are they finding each other?' ... we tried to bring up these deeper questions that relate to song and her life and finding beauty in chaos and finding beauty in pain and finding pain in beauty."
Rihanna's willingness to trust Mandler's instincts is just one of the reasons why their partnership has produced so many iconic music videos ("Rihanna makes records that are attached to her and her journey. So we always feel like she's speaking to us from her heart," Mandler said. "And for me as a visual artist, you can't ask for anything more.") And though, in the week since "Diamonds" debuted, fans have worked overtime attempting to dissect each individual vignette — "Does the heavily tattooed arm she embraces belong Chris Brown?" is a particular point of contention — Mandler isn't about to divulge any secrets. After all, that debate is what he hoped to highlight in the first place. What is truth and what is fiction? Only he and Rihanna know for sure.
Rihanna hits the stage in Mexico City for her first 777 show.
"I'm obviously using what has been talked about and created, and truth and fiction and creating my own reality. Call that what you will," he said. "I'm hand-picking certain imagery in order to create impactful new imagery ... but I'm sworn to secrecy."

Crawley Town topscorer Izale McLeod is about to be sold as the club prepare to cash-in on their most valuable asset.
He did not feature in their squad for Monday's night's excellent 1-0 victory against Championship club Reading.
This fuelled speculation he is imminently joining another club, with League One teams Barnsley and Coventry among the candidates thought to be interested.
Manager Mark Yates would not shed any light about McLeod's situation when quizzed about it on Monday night.
In the meantime Reds are set to sign a new goalkeeper within the 'next 24 hours' according to manager Mark Yates.
Yates currently has an injury to right-back Lanre Oyebanjo which will cause the player to miss the start of the season.
He is also missing a left-back after Ryan Dickson left to join his hometown club Yeovil Town.
Yates was looking at two trialists who played on Monday night, Durrell Berry (ex Arsenal and Cheltenham) and Belgian player Brian Van De Bogaert.

I have massive penile papules all around my glans.
Any experience here if they get any smaller when pulling back for extended times?
I've been pulled back for almost 2 years now, and my PPP haven't really gotten any smaller... but the fact that circumcised guys almost never have them makes me think that exposing the glans will make them go away. I just don't know how long it will take.
Many years ago when I was younger, before I started to pullback, I had a few. After having been pulled back a while, mine did disappear. I always assumed that they were there to increase sensation. Might be wrong. By the way Sascha, you have been well blessed for them.
By the way Sascha, you have been well blessed for them.
For PPP to be a blessing one has to have a positive attitude towards them. I also have PPP and never liked them despite knowing that they're harmless. Currently I'm trying to get rid of them. If it works I'll post the results.
It talks about PPP removal.
"Conjugated Linoleic Acid", often sold as a health supplement.
After three weeks of sandpapering the PPP they were less prominent than before I started but still visible. So today I used the soldering iron method to get rid of those PPP. I cannot wait to see how that turns out after healing. Maybe a second session will be necessary. We'll see.
Soldering iron?! Sounds pretty dangerous. Don't you burn the nerve endings with that?
Well, I cannot imagine it being more risky than using scalpels or lasers to remove the PPP.
That... ooh, uh, I dunno how I feel about that haha.

Much like Clark Kent wears a pair of glasses to hide the fact that he's Superman, Miley Stewart wears a blonde wig to hide the fact she is Hannah Montana. But since the lead actress, Miley Cyrus, has decided to leave the show after this fourth season it's time for Hannah Montana to come to an end. Knowing in advance this would be the last season for the highly popular teen show on the Disney channel, the writers have been trying to wrap up all the loose ends.
Miley and her best friend, Lilly (Emily Osment), are graduating high school and applying for college. Younger brother, Jackson (Jason Earles) finally has a serious girlfriend. Oliver (Mitchell Musso) has become a music sensation on his own and is touring the world. And father Robbie (Billy Ray Cyrus) has been moving on with his own love life and learning to deal with the fact that his children are now young adults.
So with all of these plot resolutions building up there's really only one last thing that needs to be wrapped up. What is going to happen to Hannah Montana? That's a question that Miley must come to terms with as she begins to realize that while hiding behind the personae of Hannah helped her have a relatively normal childhood when she was younger, it is now becoming a hindrance to her and her friends as they move into the next stage of their lives. After being turned down at the university of her choice because she had no extracurricular activities and having her entire fan base attacking her boyfriend because they think he's cheating on Hannah with Miley it all comes to a head in the two-part episode "I'll Always Remember You" parts one and two where she must decide once and for all if she will come out to the world on The Tonight Show.
It's nice that a show has time to wrap up its story before it goes off the air, but in this case it really starts to wear on the viewer. The previous three seasons were light-hearted and had a little bit of that I-Love-Lucy factor to it where Miley would get herself into silly situations and then come up with a ludicrous way to try and get out of it. But the fourth season is ten episodes and the fact that Miley is growing up is being hammered into your brain during every episode. It's almost gotten to the point of being depressing.
Not only has the feeling of the show gotten heavier, but there's also a lot missing as well. Rico (Moises Arias) isn't in as many episodes, Oliver is almost completely missing, and none of them have even been in school at all their senior year. It would have been great to see everyone's reaction to what happened on The Tonight Show, but it's just Robbie and Lilly in the story.
Along with these missing elements it seems that the writers themselves have forgotten what they wrote at the beginning of the season. One of the reasons that Miley is thinking of revealing her identity is because she doesn't want Lilly to stay out of college an extra year to wait for her to get accepted. But in the second episode, "Hannah Montana to the Principal's Office," Robbie forgot to turn in her registration paperwork for her senior year and she is going to miss the first half of the year and is already going to be at least six months behind.
The DVD contains only these assorted episodes and has no special features other than trailers for other Disney shows and products. While it's a nicely themed edition to add to your Hannah Montana collection, the lack of extras like on many of the other releases is rather disappointing.
Great job on this Todd!
I'm curious though as to what the purpose of this compilation DVD of sorts is all about. Is there a theme to the episodes included that makes sense for those particular episodes to be packaged together? Or maybe I'm missing something (quite possible that that's so!)?
In the end of the first episode Miley calls the president and he takes care of her school situation, so she is on track with everyone else. Also, these are all episodes where Mmiley exposes her secret to someone (Lilly, Oliver, Jake, the little girl at the police station, and Sienna) so they make sense to be included with her exposing her secret to the world.
Yes, I believe I mentioned that before I listed the other episodes that the theme dealt with her secret identity and whom she chooses to reveal herself.
As for the President part, I did not remember that. Although sometimes my DVR likes to cut off the end so I may have just missed it.


I was writing last Friday about Canon Malcolm Bradshaw of Saint Paul's Anglican Church, Athens, and how his work with distressed immigrants on the streets of the Greek capital has been honoured in the New Year's Honours list in which he has been made an MBE.
The Friends of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, are organising an eight-day visit to Greece later this year [3-10 May 2016], which begins on 3 May with worship in Saint Paul's Church, on the corner of Philellenon Street and Queen Amalia Avenue, opposite the National Gardens.
The following day, they visit the Acropolis Museum in Athens and the next day their visit the Acropolis itself, including the Parthenon, as well as the Areopagos, where Saint Paul preached a famous sermon recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.
Other places included in the tour include Delphi and the Temple of Apollo, Mycenae, Epidavros with its theatre, and Corinth.
On Sunday 8 May, the group attends the Sung Eucharist in Saint Paul's Church, with an opportunity to meet members of the congregation and to hear about the work of this interesting Anglican church.
Following the footsteps of Saint Paul, who preached at the Agora on the slopes of the Acropolis, it seems only natural to find an English-speaking church in the Greek capital that should be called Saint Paul's.
But this is not some English outpost in the Greek capital. For decades, the congregation has included a considerable number of Irish, Americans, Canadians, Australians and South Africans, and in recent years they have been enriched by new arrivals. Today, Saint Paul's provides 800 meals a day for homeless people on the streets of Athens, and has raised €258,000 to help victims of the Greek crisis and refugees.
The church was built on land bought from the Turks before the Greek War of independence, and the foundation stone was laid on Easter Monday, 1838, by the British Minister in Athens, Sir Edmund Lyons, later Lord Lyons (1790-1838), whose family had emigrated from Ireland to Antigua in the previous century. Saint Paul's stands within sight of Hadrian's Gate, which marked the end of the old Hellenistic and classical city of Athens and the new city built by the Emperor Hadrian.
Philellenon Street was only laid out in 1855, so the church once had an unimpeded view of the Acropolis rising over the old city. Today, Saint Paul's is within easy walking of many of the main tourist attractions in Athens, including the Plaka and the Acropolis, and is only a block away from the Greek Parliament and Syndagma Square.
Philelleon Street is an appropriate location for an English-speaking church – the street was named after those English-speaking lovers of Hellenic civilisation and culture, including Palmerston, Codrington and the poet Byron, who actively supported the Greek struggle for independence.
Two windows in Saint Paul's commemorate one of those Philhellenes, the Irish adventurer, Richard Church (1784-1875). Sir Richard Church was born in Cork, the second son of Massey Church, a prosperous Quaker butter merchant and exporter. Church ran away from his Quaker school to join the army, and served under Abercrombie in Egypt in 1801. Later that year, he accompanied the expedition to the Ionian Islands, where he raised a Greek regiment that included Theodoros Kolokotronis and other future Greek leaders.
In vain, Church pleaded the Greek cause in London and at the Congress of Vienna in 1814-1815. He lived in Naples and Sicily until his expulsion in 1820, and in 1822 he was knighted by King George IV. But he soon returned to Greece, to join the War of Independence, and in April 1827 he was appointed commander in chief of the Greek forces.
The historian CM Woodhouse suggests that Church, as an Irishman, and the commander of the Greek navy, Lord Cochrane, who was born in Scotland, may have fought for Greek independence as "a sublimation for their own suppressed nationalism".
Church and Cochrane insisted on Greek unity before accepting their commands, and their pressures resulted in the election of Kapodistrias as president in 1827 and the adoption of a new, liberal constitution. Church resigned his command because of his opposition to the government of Kapodistrias.
Later he was confidential adviser to Sir Edward Lyons (later Lord Lyons), the first British Minister to Greece, who was descended from a distinguished Dublin family.
Church played a conspicuous part in the revolt of 1843 and lived on in Greece becoming a Greek citizen, a senator and member of the council of state, inspector general of the Greek Army, and a pillar of the Anglican church in Athens. When he died in Athens on 20 March 1873, he was buried in the First Cemetery, alongside great Greek heroes and leaders.
Two windows in Saint Paul's Church, the north window and the south window, are dedicated to his memory.
The two-light north window, presented by the British Government in 1875, depicts the figures of Caleb and Joshua. It is said that the inscription on the brass tablet beneath was written in honour of Church by the British Prime Minister, Gladstone, a personal friend of his nephew, the Very Rev Richard William Church, Dean of Saint Paul's Cathedral, London, from 1871 to 1890.
Dean Church (1815-1890) and other members of Sir Richard's family presented the south window in 1875. The window depicts Gideon and David, the story of the dew and the fleece, and David slaying Goliath.
Dean Church, who became the leader of the High Church party in the Church of England after Pusey's death, was a reforming force in Saint Paul's Cathedral along with Liddon and Lightfoot, who were two of his canons.
Dean Church, who was the historian of the Oxford Movement, was a personal friend of both Newman and Gladstone. True to his Irish origins, Church had identified himself with Newman from his days at Oxford when he protested against the government decision to reduce the number of bishops in the Church of Ireland.
Distinguished visitors to Saint Paul's in the past have included Archbishop George Carey, Archbishop Robert Runcie, and Archbishop William Temple, who preached at the centenary celebrations in 1938.
More recently, a previous treasurer of Saint Paul's was Dr David Green, was an Irishman working in Athens for the University of Glamorgan and married to a Greek woman. Recent Irish members of the congregation have included John O'Carroll, general manager of the Inter-Continental Hotel, and his Esther, and Geoffrey Mayes, who was a lay assistant in Saint Paul's. When I first visited the church, the organist, Dr Richard Witt, a classicist working with the Open University, greeted me with the news that he was a great fan of Myles na Gopaleen and The Irish Times.

I am continuing my Christmas reflections, listening to the works of the great English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958). This morning [4 January 2016], I am listening to 'The First Nowell' recorded in Saint Jude-on-the-Hill, Hampstead, London in December 2005.
The YouTube clip here of "The First Nowell" is the concluding portion from The First Nowell (1958), a Nativity play for soloists, chorus, and small orchestra by Vaughan Williams. This is probably the last piece ever written by the composer before his death. It was left unfinished and was completed by Roy Douglas after Vaughan Williams's death, based on fragments left by the composer.
About a third of it needed to be orchestrated and fleshed out from sketches. After World War II, there were many ugly rumours that Douglas had done all the orchestrations of the composer's more recent works. Vaughan Williams responded, in his self-deprecating humorous way, that it was not fair to attribute the scoring to Douglas, since Douglas was a professional musician who made his living by, among other things, orchestration.
The First Nowell was first performed on 19 December 1958, four months after the death of Vaughan Williams.
Roy Douglas died earlier this year, on 23 March 2015, at the age of 107.
In this YouTube clip, the soprano is Sarah Fox, the baritone is Roderick Williams, and they are heard here with the Joyful Company of Singers, and the City of London Sinfonia, directed by the late Richard Hickox.
The First Nowell includes a number of other well-known Vaughan Williams works, including 'The Salutation Carol,' 'The Cherry Tree Carol,' and 'The Sussex Carol' ('On Christmas Night'). 'The First Nowell' is the final, closing movement.


As the 1.5°C Special Report gains prominent attention, there will likely be calls at home and abroad to raise the 26% reduction target for 2030 when Japan submits its NDC in 2020. However, with the restarting of nuclear power plants not proceeding smoothly, if the prospect of achieving the 26% target diminishes, it would be unreasonable to raise the goal even more. Japan's marginal abatement cost and its energy costs in the industrial sector are the highest among the world's major countries. Setting unrealistic goals in response to international rallying cries would have a significant negative impact on Japan's industrial competitiveness and economy. The 1.5°C Special Report will receive great coverage in the 2023 global stocktake and will likely have an effect during the revision of goals in 2025. While the author is skeptical of achievement of a 1.5°C to 2°C goal, if the world is to ultimately aim for decarbonization, then the path for Japan to take is to set serious goals and strategies in terms of developing and spreading technologies that could enable decarbonization in forms that are compatible with the economy, rather than gung-ho figures based on vain rallying cries and unsupported by feasibility studies. When it negotiated the formulation of the Kyoto Protocol, Japan took the lead in proposing the bottom-up framework of "pledge and review." As it turned out, the international framework ended up taking the grand detour of a top-down Kyoto Protocol, but it ultimately arrived at a Paris Agreement that has at its core bottom-up pledge and review. When it comes to the course for decarbonization, Japan should present to the world an approach focused on technologies instead of numerical targets and time-tables.

Фёдор Михайлович Керенский (1838—1912) — отец Александра Керенского, , действительный статский советник, деятель просвещения, директор гимназий, глава Туркестанского учебного округа.

Биография
Первым носителем фамилии Керенский был священник Покровской церкви г. Керенска Иосиф Дмитриевич, передавший свою фамилию сыновьям и их потомкам. Отец Фёдора — Михаил Иванович Керенский, был назначен в 1813 году диаконом в церковь села Керенки Городищенского уезда Пензенской губернии, с 1830 года стал священником, здесь и родился Фёдор Михайлович.

Фёдор окончил Пензенское духовное училище, а в 1858 г. по первому разряду (с отличием) Пензенскую духовную семинарию, но не стал, как его старшие братья Григорий и Александр, священником.

В 1854—1863 преподавал в Нижнеломовском духовном училище, а в 1863 году начал преподавать в Пензенском уездном училище.

С 1865 по 1869 учился на историко-филологическом факультете Казанского университета, затем преподавал русскую словесность, педагогику и латинский язык в различных учебных заведениях Казани.

С 1869 — преподаватель словесности в Казанской Первой классической гимназии, по совместительству, учитель в Казанской Мариинской женской гимназии.

С 1874 — инспектор Казанской классической гимназии, стал вторым лицом после директора.

В Казани Фёдор Керенский женился на Надежде Адлер — дочери начальника топографического бюро Казанского военного округа. По отцовской линии Надежда Адлер была дворянкой русско-немецкого происхождения, а по материнской — внучкой крепостного крестьянина, который ещё до отмены крепостного права сумел выкупиться на волю и впоследствии стал богатым московским купцом.

В 1877—1879 годах Фёдор Михайлович Керенский был директором Вятской мужской гимназии.

В 1879 году в чине коллежского советника получил назначение на должность директора Симбирской мужской гимназии, сменил на посту Ивана Васильевича Вишневского.

С 1883 года — ещё и директор Симбирской женской Мариинской гимназии.

С 1887 года — действительный статский советник.

Самым известным воспитанником Фёдора Керенского стал Володя Ульянов (Ленин) — сын его начальника, директора симбирских училищ Ильи Николаевича Ульянова. Фёдор Михайлович Керенский поставил ему единственную четвёрку (по логике) в аттестате золотого медалиста 1887 года. Фёдор Михайлович Керенский был очень разочарован дальнейшим выбором Володи Ульянова, так как советовал ему поступать на историко-словесный факультет университета ввиду больших успехов младшего Ульянова в латыни и словесности.

Семьи Керенских и Ульяновых в Симбирске связывали дружеские отношения, у них было много общего в образе жизни, положении в обществе, интересах, происхождении. Фёдор Михайлович, после того как умер Илья Николаевич Ульянов, принимал участие в жизни детей Ульяновых.

В 1887 году, уже после того как был арестован и казнён Александр Ильич Ульянов, он дал брату революционера Владимиру Ульянову положительную характеристику для поступления в Казанский университет. В этом же году Ф. М. Керенский получил чин действительного статского советника, что давало право на потомственное дворянство.

В Симбирске в семье Керенских родились два сына — Александр и Фёдор (до них в Казани появлялись только дочери — Надежда, Елена, Анна).

С 2 мая 1889 по август 1910 — главный инспектор народных училищ Туркестанского края, с семьёй переехал в Ташкент, а затем возглавил Туркестанский учебный округ.

С августа 1910 — в отставке, жил в Санкт-Петербурге.

Умер в 8 июня 1912 года. Его тело перевезли в Ташкент и предали земле на Боткинском кладбище 17 июня 1912 г., рядом с могилами жены и старшей дочери.
