More photos will be added later.Barry T. Selfhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14165543.post-24034011356496850972013-10-04T17:25:00.002-05:002013-10-04T17:31:18.236-05:00EULOGY FOR ERSIE CORDELIA SELF COOPER"Ersie Cordelia Self was born in the fall of 1920. Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States. The first World War had just ended. And she was born in the home of William Emery and Mary Eveline Self. She grew up with four brothers and sisters and a special cousin, Lola. Ersie attended Mount Zion Baptist Church almost her entire life. There was one fellow that went there named Willard (Lee). He was friends with Ersie's two brothers. One day when Willard was visiting, he was 12 years old and Ersie was nine, the Selfs were all sitting down at the breakfast. Lee patted Ersie on the head and said, "One day I'll marry this one." 17 years later at 29 years old, he did just that. They were married on December 21st, 1946. When Willard asked Grandpa Self for 26 year old Ersie's hand Grandpa Self said, "Well, I guess she is old enough to do what she wants…you are just taking my good biscuit maker away from me." In a total of 16 years, Ersie and Willard had 9 children, with 8 surviving childhood. Shirley, Peggy, Lovonda, Ronnie, infant son Randy Lee, Darlene, Randall, Reece, and Donny. On October 25, 1982, Ersie said goodbye to her husband. They had been married for 35 years and 308 days. She was a widow for over 31 years. Ersie's heart always belonged to Willard. In fact, it was one of my favorite past times to tease Granny, and everyone in here knows what a great sense of humor she had. I teased her about every widower and elderly bachelor in Vonore. Her mind was made up. Her heart belonged to two men…Willard…and Jesus. Mamaw Ersie was a blood bought child of God. Not because she once said a prayer, although she did profess Jesus as her Savior; not because she attended a church, although she had years of perfect attendance at Mt. Zion; but you knew that Ersie was saved not by these things, but because she lived a life that was pure and acceptable unto Him. I John 3:4: We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Was there a person that has ever met Mamaw Ersie that was not loved by Mamaw Ersie? Mamaw was also the embodiment of the fruits of the Spirit, what are these? Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-Control. Mamaw was a lot of fun. She never ceased to surprise you. She was 89 years old when she decided that she wanted to fly on an airplane for the first time out to Nebraska to visit the Wilkersons--my sister and her family. So, I was in charge with finding out how to get Mamaw her very first picture ID. To get a picture ID, I needed a birth certificate, Mamaw had lost hers years ago. So, we had to get her a new one. I spent at least three weeks trying to find records of her and finally we got ahold of someone in Nashville, and they looked through their computers and said we don't have anyone named Ersie Self ever having been born in Tennessee in 1920. Frustrated, mom and I went to Mamaw Ersie and said, "Mamaw, there is no record of an Ersie Self ever having been born!" She looked at us nonchalantly and said, "Well, probably because that is not my name." My mother said, "What do you mean, mama!?" She said, "I was born Ersa, not Ersie. I bet they'll find me now." Sure enough, we easily found her under that name. Mom said, "Mom. Why has your legal name always been Ersie? It is on your Social Security card and everything." Mamaw just said, "Well, when I was about 9, I just decided that I did not like the name Ersa and so I have been Ersie ever since." I get to now tease my momma that she was in her 60s before she found out her mother's name. So eventually, we got Ersie on that plane. She was always up for an adventure. Always up to go to Wal-Mart, to sit and visit with friends, to go to a Revival meeting. She never met a stranger. Mamaw Ersie lived on this Earth for 92 years, 361 days. She had 22 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. She has been cared for non-stop by her daughters who for the past 2 years have cared for Mamaw Ersie hand and foot. Almost all of her sons were also there daily, especially Randall, who was a valuable help to the daughters. Ronnie, Reece, and Mamaw's nephew JL would also take turns pushing Mamaw around Vonore in her wheelchair. It was one of her favorite things to do. Thank you all for sacrificing for her in this way. God is well pleased with all of you honoring her. Right when she was starting to go downhill, she pulled many of us by her bedside and told us that she believed that God had given her a dream. She said she dreamt that she died and she looked up and saw Jesus walking with Willard and a small boy—their son, Randy Lee. They looked so happy. I believe that this was God giving her a promise. Through the pain that Mamaw endured in her later months, it is not worth comparing to the glory that is being revealed unto her now. There is no doubt in my mind that our little Mamaw is pain free. Reunited with her family-- her mother, father, Lawson, Bill, Bessie, Lucy, and Lola, and of course Willard and Randy. There is also no doubt in my mind, that our little Mamaw has touched the face of her Creator, the one who made her, redeemed her, and prepared a place for her." ### This eulogy was written for Ersie Self Cooper by Ersie's grandson, Kevin Fowler. The eulogy was read by Kevin at the funeral. It was also read at the 28th annual Self Family Reunion on September 28 at Pearson Springs Park in Maryville, TN by Rev. Tommy Self, Ersie's nephew. Go to the website eye2sky.com to hear a song that was written and sung by Ersie's grandson, Micah Cooper, in honor of Ersie. Micah wrote the song the morning Ersie died and he sang it at her funeral. It is titled "Ersie's Song".Barry T.

The tobacco barn of my great grandpa, Emery Self, recently fell. Mrs. Richard Leon (Faye Nell) Talley who lives on the property called me on July 24 to say the barn, which had been leaning for some time, fell in June. She had gone to church one Sunday morning and when she returned the barn was on the ground. According to cousin J.L Self "the barn was built in the early 1950's by the men in the community,(a barn raising). It was a tobacco barn. All of the material came off of the property. I remember grandpa walking on the plates on top of the poles. Grandma and the women cooked dinner for the men." I remember as a child playing around the barn and the small branch that ran beside it. On Thursday, July 25, I took my daughter, Lydia and went to 275 Citico Road in Vonore, where the barn is located. I took a few pictures and was able to get some of the pine planks from the barn walls. I plan to give some of the wood to grandpa Self's grandchildren as a keepsake. Mrs. Talley told me the branch had been getting out of banks this year due to heavy rainfall. She said the water often would run through the middle of the barn and she figures the water washed out the soil and stone pillars from underneath the support poles of the barn. The picture shows how the barn now looks. The owner of the property, Franklin Kirkland, of Vonore, plans to clear the area with a bulldozer in the near future.Barry T.

Kevin Fowler, an educational technologist at Walters State, was selected for the prestigious honor out of thousands of applicants. The Apple Distinguished Educator Program recognizes K-12 and higher education pioneers who are transforming teaching and learning in innovative ways. "Kevin's selection to this elite group of educators recognizes his significant contributions to the college's goal of enhancing student engagement through technology," said Joe Sargent, executive director of Information and Educational Technologies at Walters State. Fowler's recognition comes on the heels of Walters State being named a 2012-13 Apple Distinguished Program for its mobile-learning initiative. This designation is reserved for programs that meet criteria for innovation, leadership, exemplary learning environments and education excellence. Walters State faculty members are using over 60 different apps in nearly every subject area to engage students. The college has realized a 10 to 25 percent increase in student learning through the use of mobile technologies in the classroom. "Kevin's hire at Walters State as an educational technologist is an integral part of our faculty members being able to advance their use of classroom technology and enhance student engagement and learning," said Dr. Lori Campbell, vice president for Academic Affairs at Walters State. "His experience in the classroom along with his strong knowledge of teaching technologies has made him a natural fit with the faculty members at Walters State," she also said. In his role as an educational technologist at Walters State, Fowler works with faculty to maximize the use of mobile devices and apps as teaching tools. He provides training on the nearly 200 new iPad features Apple releases annually, helps solve technical problems, and works individually with faculty to determine how they can use mobile devices to the fullest extent in their classroom. "I am honored to receive this recognition," said Fowler. "While the faculty I work with may learn from me about new ways to include mobile technologies in their classrooms, I am fortunate to be surrounded by some of the most innovative educators in higher education," said Fowler. As an Apple Distinguished Educator, Fowler will collaborate with other innovative educators from around the world regarding instructional technology best practices. "I will have access to emerging technologies and new ideas from some of the most creative individuals in the field of education, which will greatly enhance my ability to help faculty further improve their teaching via mobile devices," said Fowler. Prior to joining Walters State about a year and half ago, Fowler taught middle-school U.S. history, government and civics. Purchasing an iPad out of his own pocket in 2010 for use in the classroom, Fowler was one of the first educators to use a mobile device as a teaching tool.

The Asian Arms Race That Wasn't
India and Pakistan are firing off missiles left and right. So why aren't the Chinese nervous?
Are we in the middle of a missile race in Asia? On April 25, Pakistan conducted the first test of its Shaheen 1-A intermediate-range ballistic missile. The Pakistan military said that the missile, which is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead against targets in India, successfully hit its intended location in the Indian Ocean.
If the thought of the world's most unstable nuclear power testing such weapons doesn't keep you up at night, consider this: Pakistan isn't the only nation bombarding the Indian Ocean with ballistic missiles in recent days -- an Indian missile test of its 5,000-km Agni V likely spurred the trial of the Shaheen 1-A. On a small island off India's eastern coast late last month, a three-stage missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead blasted off and climbed more than 370 miles into the atmosphere before re-entering and splashing down into the water. Mainstream reporting on India's successful test of the Agni V missile has suggested that the launch gave it "nuclear parity" with China -- a claim echoed by seasoned South Asia hand Edward Luce last Sunday.
However, there is little reason to overreact to this series of missile tests. India's test reflects one step forward in a long process of gradually achieving a retaliatory capability against its regional adversaries, especially China. Nothing more, and nothing less. Moreover, the test will not fuel an arms race with either China or Pakistan -- despite Islamabad's test of its own intermediate-range ballistic missile in response to the Indian test.
It is important to understand precisely where India's ballistic missile development program stands. With a range of 5,000 kilometers, the Agni V is technically an intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM), not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which is defined as missiles with a range of at least 5,500 kilometers. Yes, this is an arbitrary cutoff. But it is useful for understanding the capabilities that India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the agency responsible for India's ballistic missiles, has mastered -- and those it has not. India does not have, and is at least several years away from, a true ICBM or sea-based capability.
The importance of this development should not be minimized: When the Agni V is eventually inducted into India's Strategic Force Command, it will give it the ability to strike anywhere in China, including the capital Beijing. It extends the reach of India's Agni family of land-based strategic ballistic missiles, which range from 700 km (Agni I) to now 5,000 km (Agni V). Chinese missiles, on the other hand, can already strike anywhere on the Indian subcontinent. The Agni V is designed to support India's ability to assure nuclear retaliation against China in the event nuclear weapons are used against it.
The Indian test also represents a substantial achievement for India's DRDO, demonstrating its mastery of maintaining structural integrity under significant stresses, successful stage separation, and terminal warhead guidance. But beyond these technical advances, the significance of the test should not be over-hyped. It was just a test, and only the first one for the Agni V. DRDO remains several tests, and several years, away from being able to reliably produce and operationalize the Agni V.
The idea that India can -- or even intends to -- achieve nuclear parity with China with a single test is misguided. Nuclear posture unfolds over years and decades, and India is just now creeping toward having an assured retaliation capability against China. Even when the Agni V is inducted into India's military, Beijing will still enjoy clear advantages in both warheads and delivery systems, and it will retain them for the foreseeable future. For starters, China has at least twice as many nuclear warheads as India, many of which contain much higher yields than their Indian counterparts. With several decades of experience developing nuclear systems, China's missiles are also probably more reliable than India's. With the ongoing development of the Type-094 Jin-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine that will carry the Julang-2 submarine-launched ballistic missile, China also has a significant head start on sea-based capabilities.
Don't expect this test to spark an arms race in the region, either. India has been developing the Agni V since at least 2007, so both China and Pakistan have likely already factored its eventual deployment into their own nuclear planning. One central point missed by many analysts is that China and India have remarkably similar nuclear strategies --both are keyed to assured retaliation, or guaranteeing a secure second-strike capability. This means that once both sides have developed survivable second-strike forces capable of reaching an adversary's key strategic targets, there is little need for additional forces.
Most importantly, neither India nor China have nuclear strategies that target each other's nuclear forces. This would make nuclear stability critically dependent on the numerical balance of forces, as was the case during periods of the Cold War. Instead, with assured retaliation strategies, nuclear stability can be established much more easily, once both states acquire secure second-strike capabilities. India is only now reaching the point of having an assured retaliation capability against China. Given China's superior capabilities, the eventual deployment of the Agni V will thus not weaken China's deterrent, even as it strengthens India's. China is unlikely to deploy more weapons in response, because its ability to survive a first strike by India remains robust. As a result -- although an editorial in the always acerbic Global Times stated that India "should not overestimate its strength" -- China's official reaction was quite muted.
Pakistan is also unlikely to alter its own approach to nuclear weapons following the deployment of the Agni V. First, it is unclear how the test alters the nuclear balance between the two rivals: India's existing arsenal can already reach Pakistan's strategic targets. Second, Pakistan primarily aims to use its nuclear forces to deter an Indian conventional attack, abjuring a "no first use" pledge in order to credibly threaten nuclear use in such a contingency. Thus, its nuclear requirements are driven largely by India's growing conventional capabilities - not the range of its nuclear capabilities. Finally, even Pakistan's test of the Shaheen 1A missile is part of its longstanding quest to achieve a secure second-strike capability against Indian targets, and no evidence exists that Pakistan will produce or deploy such missiles in numbers that would trigger an arms race. Moreover, as Pakistan has typically timed the test of its missiles with those of India's, its test was largely predictable. And neither of the launches would have caught the other state by surprise, as both have adhered to an agreement to notify each other ahead of impending ballistic missile tests.
One development could, however, upset the strategic balance in South Asia. Shortly after the test, comments from the head of the DRDO suggested that India might also be developing multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) for several Agni variants. This capability could enable India to deliver multiple nuclear warheads against an adversary's targets -- or its nuclear forces -- with a single ballistic missile launch. MIRVs, coupled with a potential missile defense system in development, could have far-reaching implications for the survivability of China and Pakistan's nuclear forces. Nevertheless, these comments were likely unauthorized and certainly do not reflect the policy of the Indian government or its future force posture. They were most likely made to enhance the organizational prestige of the DRDO, which has long sought to claim that it can indigenously develop world-class systems. This is not the first time that DRDO has made comments with strategic implications that do not reflect official policy.
Finally, in an alarmist article in the New York Times, Graeme Herd at the Geneva Center for Security Policy claims that the timing of the Agni V test would heighten suspicions that it was aimed at China, because it occurred as Beijing is engulfed in the political scandal surrounding deposed party boss Bo Xilai. Most missile tests, however, do not work this way. The Agni V test was planned for years, and it was most likely scheduled for when DRDO was simply ready to test the missile -- and of course, when the weather was clear. Recall that the United States tested missiles according to a standard operating procedure as well -- even once conducting a pre-planned test in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis simply because it was already scheduled.
A sober look at the Agni V test suggests that it was a significant technical step forward in India's longstanding quest for an assured second-strike capability toward its regional adversaries. But it was not much more than that. Analysts expecting an arms race in Asia will likely be disappointed.

WEST BOYNTON — It's an idea novel enough to raise a few eyebrows in an area not known as a tourist destination.
Deerfield Beach developer Rick Pribell plans to build a bed-and-breakfast on a 1-acre site at Jog Road and Joe Delong Boulevard.
WEST BOYNTON — It's an idea novel enough to raise a few eyebrows in an area not known as a tourist destination.
Deerfield Beach developer Rick Pribell plans to build a bed-and-breakfast on a 1-acre site at Jog Road and Joe Delong Boulevard.
Pribell said the burgeoning residential area west of Boynton Beach could benefit from convenient lodging for visiting relatives and out-of-state home hunters.
The county granted Pribell a special zoning permit in July to build the two-story, 15-suite bed-and-breakfast. The B&B would be next to the site of a future high school and to The Links at Boynton Beach, a public golf course.
It would bring visitors to the nearby Jewish Community Center and West Boynton Park and Recreation Center, Pribell said. Its name, Aberdeen House, would match the massive Aberdeen housing development and Aberdeen commercial plazas nearby.
"It makes sense," Pribell said. "It's something that will really help the community."
Joe Sciortino, golf director at The Links, said he supports the bed-and-breakfast. It would be better than a gas station on that corner, he said. The land originally was included in development plans for Aberdeen and is zoned for residential use.
"I would love to see it," Sciortino said. "It would be great for tourists who come down to play golf. People looking for homes have nowhere to stay except for hotels on Congress Avenue and Federal Highway."
The bed-and-breakfast would be the eighth in the county.
Bed-and-breakfasts aren't widespread in Palm Beach County because of the lack of the large, historic homes typically converted into the lodging, said J. Charles Lehmann, executive director of the county Tourist Development Council.
Pribell called his proposal a "modern bed-and-breakfast" because it would be built from scratch. It would likely be a Mediterranean-style home to fit the area's architectural style. Although bed-and-breakfasts are most successful in tourist hotspots, Lehmann said, Pribell could be tapping into an underserved market west of Boynton Beach.
"People need somewhere close to stay, and there's no competition nearby," he said.
Cheri Reed opened her bed-and-breakfast in an unlikely locale six years ago. The Southern Palm Bed and Breakfast in Loxahatchee draws business during the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, but summers can be slow, she said.
"No one wants to come to Loxahatchee in the summer unless they're visiting family," Reed said.
So Reed rents rooms to people living in the area temporarily or waiting to move into new homes. She said she couldn't afford to run the seven-suite lodging if she didn't have a full-time job.
Business at the Mango Inn in Lake Worth comes mainly from tourists, but some guests are relatives visiting families as far away as Wellington, said owner Erin Allen.
"You really have got to find a niche market that will make people want to come to you," said Allen, a member of the Palm Beach County Bed and Breakfast Association.
Allen said she wasn't sure a bed-and-breakfast could be successful far from the kind of amenities near her seven-year-old business: the beach and a downtown with museums and restaurants.
But Allen said she wants to see more bed-and-breakfasts throughout the county. St. Augustine and Key West are the most widely known Florida destinations with a large bed-and-breakfast industry, she said.
Pribell's plans include a recreation center and pool. He also wants to rent out space for gatherings such as birthday parties, weddings and bar mitzvahs.
But zoning doesn't allow meeting space or special events at bed-and-breakfasts, said Damon Kolb, a planner with the county Zoning Division.
Pribell is revising plans to meet county parking and landscaping requirements for what would be his first project as a developer. But if he isn't allowed to rent out meeting space, he might have to sell the land. His special permit is good for a year, Kolb said.
"I love to create stuff," Pribell said. "I want to do a knockdown job."

The ordinances have been shortened and simplified to ease reading. Contact the Forestry office to obtain further information on these ordinances.

One of our primary responsibilities in the community forest is to monitor the health and safety of our trees. Throughout the year, we produce many work notices to homeowners alerting them of particular code violations on their property with vegetation problems. We discover specific problems either during routine inspections or on a complaint call basis. Obviously, hazardous trees are our biggest priority. Several times each month, we discover new hazard situations.
Suppression of disease and insect breakouts are also a high priority for us. The Greeley Forestry program manages these issues through proper sanitation efforts. Most health and safety issues can be avoided by keeping the forest clean and maintained routinely. We believe our program is one of the best in the state, and we attribute that to effective ordinances and a good sanitation program.
To view a list of specific ordinances pertaining to homeowners, click here.
Vegetation and traffic issues resulting in hazardous situations are the most important pieces of our ordinances. These are the ordinances we use for vegetation issues surrounding traffic signs, sidewalks, clear vision zones for vehicles, and other related vehicle and pedestrian traffic/vegetation problems. The following is in summary to ordinances used and may not follow the related Municipal Code word for word.
Tree trimming and removal companies in Greeley MUST be licensed. In order to obtain a license, they must provide proof of insurance, post a surety bond, and pay the yearly license fee. Once that is complete they must provide proof of professional certifications and pass a field exam. There are certain parameters within which each contractor must work, providing you with the utmost in quality, service and value.
All tree trimming or removals on public rights-of-way must be accompanied by a permit issued by the Forestry Manager. The permit system allows the Forestry Program to monitor and promote proper tree care along the street ways in Greeley. It also assists in the structure of road lane closures and city-wide coordinated traffic control. In the case of removals on public rights-of-way, the tree must be posted for 7 days prior to the date of removal. The posting is a notification to the public of the reasons for the removal. Once a tree has been removed, the stump must be removed to at least 6" below normal ground line.
Licensed contractors are NOT allowed to Top trees! Topping is a very destructive and harmful pruning practice. Topping destroys trees!

I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.Dave Barry
It is a rare thing to win an argument & the other fellow's respect at the same time.Unknown
I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.Edward Gibbon
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.Richard Bach
I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.Dave Barry
The idle man stands outside of God's plan, outside of the ordained scheme of things; and the truest self-respect, the noblest independence, and the most genuine dignity, are not to be found thereJosiah Gilbert Holland
I understand the dignity of a life, but our right is much more dignified than life, our freedom, and our self-respect.V.Prabhakaran
Silence will create respect and dignity; justice and fairplay will bring more friends; benevolence and charity will enhance prestige and position; courtesy will draw benevolence; service of mankind will secure leadership and good words will overcome powerful enemies.Ali bin Abu-Talib
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.Ralph Waldo Emerson
A revelation, that may be supposed to be really of the institution of God, must also be supposed to be perfectly consistent or uniform, and to be able to stand the test of truth; therefore such pretended revelations, as are tendered to us as the contrivance of heaven, which do not bear that test, we may be morally certain, was either originally a deception, or has since, by adulteration become spurious. Reason therefore must be the standard by which we determine the respective claims of revelation; for otherwise we may as well subscribe to the divinity of the one as of the other, or to the whole of them, or to none at all.Ethan Allen
I have no respect for the passion of equality, which seems to me merely idealizing envy.Oliver Wendell Holmes
In a world darkened by ethnic conflicts that tear nations apart, Canada stands as a model of how people of different cultures can live and work together in peace, prosperity, and mutual respect.Bill Clinton
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.C.S. Lewis
The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable.John Kenneth Galbraith
Respect for ourselves guides our morals; respect for others guides our manners.Laurence Sterne
... a big man, and you're a little boy, I shall ask you to have some jam," I should have failed entirely to smother my laughter. Do you think the doleful one would have seen the fun of the remark if she had any power over the body or soul of that devoted child? Nay. She would have whined about slyness, and cunning hints, and greediness, and the probabilities of utter ruin and disgrace overtaking underhand schemers, until that child would have been stunned, puzzled, deprived of self-respect, and rendered entirely wretched. Long ago I heard of a doleful one who turned ...James Runciman
There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less.Bertrand Russell
Labor wants also pride and joy in doing good work, a sense of making or doing something beautiful or useful - to be treated with dignity and respect as brother and sisterThorstein Veblen
There are two sorts of affection - the love of a woman you respect, and the love for the woman you love.Arthur Wing Pinero
We must build a new world, a far better world - one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.Harry S. Truman
Respect for the fragility and importance of an individual life is still the mark of an educated man.Norman Cousins
Only those who respect the personality of others can be of real use to them.Albert Schweitzer
Love and respect woman. Look to her not only for comfort, but for strength and inspiration and the doubling of your intellectual and moral powers. Blot out from your mind any idea of superiority; you have none.Giuseppe Mazzini
Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart-the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it-and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal.Maurice Franks
