Didem Karpuzcu
Powering her way to management
Working with tree-falling power tools wasn’t what Didem Karpuzcu had in mind when she enrolled in the Portland MBA program at PSU.
“In Turkey, where I grew up, most people don’t have that kind of toolbox,” says Karpuzcu, who admits she had never even seen a chainsaw until moving to Oregon. Now, as Global Product Manager at Blount International, it’s her job to develop the next generation of power tool accessories for forestry, agriculture and gardening.
A management job at one of Oregon’s top manufacturing companies represents a rapid rise for Karpuzcu who only began exploring graduate programs a little more than two years ago. East Coast schools recruited her, but she chose Portland State for its dedication to diversity and conscientious approach to business.
“I am a competitive person, but I knew I would not be happy in an aggressive MBA program,” Karpuzcu says. “Portland state values community. It’s not just about getting ahead of others.”
For Karpuzcu, it’s always about the challenge, about navigating new terrain, about personal as well as professional growth. The Portland MBA fit the bill: a new city, a chance to meet people from all backgrounds.
Among her MBA cohort, she worked with students ranging in age from their late 20s to their 60s, including seven or eight nationalities. She took advantage of the opportunity to sharpen her collaboration and negotiation skills while fostering connections in the local business community.
“In the MBA program, you don’t just learn from the curriculum,” she says. “It’s just as much about gaining insight from your peers and from professors with industry experience.”
That experience paid off when she applied for the opening at Blount. The position meant moving into an unfamiliar industry and culture with all the responsibilities that come with upper-level management. And that’s just what she was looking for.
“I could have just stayed at home and not challenge myself in this way,” she says, “but I think it pays off. It gives you perspective and allows you to grow.”
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.

"To God the Greatest and Best and to Posterity Thomas Strode, Sergeant at Law, who quietly fell asleep in Christ on February 4 1698, at the age of 70, here deposited the remains of mortality He was a man consecrated to undying memory: distinguished by knowledge of the law, piety and wisdom: uniting in his character both integrity and great sweetness; ever faithful to God, Prince and friends. Born of a father, Sir John Strode of Parnham in the County of Dorset he took to his most dear wife Mary Adams, the widow of Parkinson Odber, Gent, who bore him one daughter as yet living, who most sorrowful and groaning with tears as a last act of piety this [well-deserved] monument willingly ordered and placed".
John Strode 1628-1698 of Parnham was the son of Sir John Strode of Shepton Mallet by 2nd wife Anne daughter of Sir John Wyndham 1645 & Joan Portman www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/5315541477/ of Orchard Wyndham near Watchet. Thomas was a respected Barrister and Sergeant at Law in Lincolns Inn London
He m 1664-5 Mary daughter of William Adams: relict of fellow lawyer Parkinson Odber.
His sole heiress daughter Mary www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/8880549442/ m Thomas Foley 1st Lord Foley d1733 www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/8880034844/ of Great Witley Court
in his Will of 1692, with a Codicil dated 1st Jan 1697/8, proved on 10 Dec 1701 Thomas Strode left many bequests - listed under 18 'Items'. The first £3000 left to his wife Mary in full satisfaction of her dower'. He also leaves her his coach and horses and all his gold items, plate, jewellery, household goods, etc. as well as all the rental income from the 'joynture lands' she brought to their marriage, situated in the Bishopric of Durham. He then entrusts the Guardianship and tuition of his daughter Mary to his brothers Sir George Strode of Parnham, Knt and Hugh Strode of London, merchant whom he names as his Executors and by whom he stresses repeatedly he wants his daughter to be guided in her eventual choice of husband. After detailing several bequests for his many relatives ........... he leaves his real estate (ie 'all my Manors (unnamed), messuages, mortgages, lands, tenements, hereditaments and leases') to his Executors - as Trustees - for the benefit solely and entirely of his daughter Mary. If she died young Thomas' two brothers (the Executors) were to receive £1000 each, also his third brother Sir John Strode, and all 10 or so of the 3 brothers' children were also to receive that same amount each ! So Mary was due to receive c £15,000 plus the property

My main goal with this image was to layer as many colors as I could into one picture without making it too overwhelming. I knew I wanted the colors to be accompanied by a strong abstract message, so I chose hands as the main subject. There is no real meaning behind this picture, but please feel free to leave any interpretations on the comments.
This little series is about the process of passing from ignorance, to knowledge, to, finally, freedom.
Every comment is apreciated ¡

This stone was cut from the quarries Mount of Olives Palestine.
Rough and Perfect Ashlar
A rough and perfect ashlar are stones which symbolize Man's moral and spiritual life.
Cutting stone to uniform shapes and sizes requires the skill and experience of a true craftsman with many years of experience.
This is why, historically, only large edifices (buildings) were made of ashlars (rather than brick or wood), due to the necessity (and difficulty) of assembling the many skilled craftsman needed to complete the many subsets of knowledge such as how to build a stone archway, how to lay foundation stone, and how to lay stone, one atop another to great heights...not to mention the artisans who sculpted the stones into ornamental shapes.
In days of old, apprentice masons cut and raised the Rough Ashlars from the stone quarry under the supervision of more experienced craftsman, called Fellowcrafts.
The work was accomplished under the watchful eye of the Master masons of the craft...those who had proved their ability to make their Master's piece to the satisfaction of their superiors.
In Freemasonry, there are 2 forms of ashlars.
Rough Ashlar
In operative Freemasonry, the rough ashlar represents a rough, unprepared or undressed stone. In speculative Freemasonry, a rough ashlar is an allegory to the uninitiated Freemason prior to his discovering enlightenment.
Perfect Ashlar
Operatively, the Perfect ashlar represents the dressed stone (after it has been made uniform and smoothed) by use of the working tools, the common gavel, (mallet) and chisel. (The chisel may be found in English Freemasonry, but is not used in the United States as a Freemason symbol.)
Only after the stone has been dressed by an experienced stonemason, can it be suitable to be placed into the architectural structure or building.
Speculatively, a Perfect Ashlar is an allegory to a Freemason who, through Masonic education, works to achieve an upstanding life and diligently strives to obtain enlightenment.
Rough and Perfect Ashlars
In the Fellowcraft Degree, we see the use of the Rough and Perfect Ashlars. The lesson to be learned is that by means of education and the acquirement of knowledge, a man improves the state of his spiritual and moral being.
Like man, each Rough Ashlar begins as an imperfect stone. With education, cultivation and brotherly love, man is shaped into a being which has been tried by the square of virtue and encircled by the compasses of his boundaries, given to us by our Creator.
Rough and Perfect Ashlar: Fitted For The Builder's Use
In ancient times, quarried stone which could be easily shaped into desired configurations, was called "freestone". Typical freestones are limestone and sandstone.
Then, as now, only after refining and smoothing these rough stones into their desired shape, were the stonemasons able to "fit them for the builder's use".
In the Fellowcraft degree, the Rough Ashlar represents a man's unrefined state and his need for improvement. He learns that the goal of being a better man includes spirituality of thought and striving for perfection of conduct. Via duties, expectations and obligations, he is charged to work toward these goals of self improvement.
As the Freemason "smoothes" his rough edges, internally and externally; he becomes a better man and, therefore, a better Freemason.
Once a man has perfected his ashlar to the best of his ability,... as Brothers to all mankind, it is his duty to help others become better men and better Freemasons.
Rough and Perfect Ashlar - The Potential For Change
All rough ashlars must have within them the potential to be made into a perfect ashlar.
The stone must be made of sound material and have a minimum of character flaws which may cause it to weaken the edifice (building). It must be capable of being worked into a perfect stone. This is why candidates for the degrees are asked many questions as to their qualifications and character about why they wish to become Freemasons.
The candidate must have the potential to both serve and support the Fraternity. He must be carefully inspected, just as each Rough Ashlar is inspected for quality in order to be able to "fit" him into Freemasonry's tenets and goals, which are compatible to God's laws.
An imperfect stone may be made perfect, however major flaws are difficult to overcome and when assembled into a structure, the entire structure can be weakened from its improper use. This is as true of men as it is of stones.
Rough and Perfect Ashlar - States of Metamorphose
Freemasonry has a glorious history. Flawed ashlars can bring negative feelings and reproach upon the Fraternity from non-Freemasons in the outside world and therefore, can have no place within its walls.
...That said,...let us not forget that perfect ashlars are not found lying about the stone quarry without benefit of their having been hammered, chiseled and polished into such a state of being.
It also holds true that "perfect" men are also such an anomaly without the benefit of brotherly love, guidance and light. There are very few Freemasons who have not been in both the rough and perfect ashlar state-of-being at some point in their lives.
Freemason Duties For the Future of the Craft
1. Freemasons must give serious consideration to our personal responsibility to educate other Brothers toward their self improvement.
Like the Good Samaritan in the Holy Books; it is in the giving and assistance to others in which you will find the true "jewels" of enlightenment. True Master Masons not only exemplify the tenets of the craft, but they teach what they learn.
2. Lodges should carefully judge the potential of each candidate, weighing both their character and their potential for change. For more information as to how to properly perform this duty, see my page Masonic Investigation Committee.
3. Each Freemason is charged to extend the hand of brotherly love and affection to help new Freemasons become better men and strive to live on the square, stand upright with the plumb and take their true place as a man who would make his Creator (the Almighty), proud of him.
The lesson of the Rough and Perfect Ashlar applies to all men who are worthy,...who have a heartfelt wish to go from ignorance to knowledge,...from darkness to light...and from death to life.
The following poem, written by Mary Brooks Picken, entitled, "Thimblefuls of Friendliness" was written in 1924, and, perhaps says it, best.
"Thimblefuls of Friendliness"
"Isn't it strange that Princes and Kings
And clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
And just plain folks like you and me,
Are builders for Eternity?
To each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass and a book of rules,
And each must make ere life is flown,
A stumbling block, or a stepping stone.
So,...it's up to you. What will YOU decide to build with YOUR working tools?

She has a lot of knowledge of wildflowers, we call her Dr.wildflower.
We took many shots of this flower, Bladderwort, little dragonfly and the other insects at the small island Mooyido near the Inchon Airport. Of course she led me there by metro, bus, walking, boarding ship and bus again. complicate? not exactly for real.. ^^
BTW as soon as the ship from Youngjongdo to Mooyido finish turning the direction for leaving we almost reached the pier of the Wooyido. ^=^ OMG the forfeit of delightful shipping!!
Her main interest is not an insect but wildflower, my matter of concern is not wildflowers but bugs or insects. so far so good! ^=^
