Corporate Responsibility Forum: Strategies for Competitiveness and Shared Value
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, assembled over 200 private sector and civil society professionals to discuss ways companies can maximize the positive impact they have through community investments in developing countries.
Participants at the 2010 IFC Corporate Responsibility Forum, held June 15-17, agreed that as expectations for corporate involvement in addressing development challenges increase, the measure of success has shifted from amount of dollars spent to the degree of impact achieved. This calls for more sophisticated approaches and tools that can help companies apply greater rigor in the way they select sustainability investments and measure the value they create both for local communities and the business.
"We saw a need for clients to take a strategic approach and quantify the great work they are doing through their community investments," said Rachel Kyte, IFC Vice President for Business Advisory Services. "This presents an opportunity for companies to transform the way community investment is approached and maximize the positive impact they are having on the ground."
IFC also introduced participants to its Financial Valuation Tool, co-developed with Rio Tinto and Deloitte, which allows companies to measure the financial value of community investments at specific projects around the world. IFC clients Newmont Mining and Cairn India shared their experiences piloting the tool at their operations in Ghana and India.

MENTONE, Ala. (WHNT) — Officials are still working to find out what caused the Mentone Springs Hotel and White Elephant Antiques to burn down Saturday.
Even days later smoke still billows from the remnants of what once was a popular destination in the small town of Mentone. When the fire broke out, those watching knew it couldn't be saved, but the Mentone Volunteer Firefighters did everything their power to try. "We've planned this fire for the last seven or eight years," Assistant Chief Toby Manifold says, "Looking at it, walking through the structures, talking to county officials, you know, local departments. We knew if it ever came we would need all the help we could get from the county."
Assistant Chief Manifold says the department plans like that, as a routine. "With all of our businesses we try to pre-plan, know the structures, know the surroundings, know what we've got to work with."
So when the hotel began to burn the department was ready. Still though, fighting a fire as massive as that one wasn't easy. "Once we tapped a couple of hydrants we knew we were at max capacity. We made a couple of phone calls to Fort Payne and got them to boost the pumps and they did that for us and got us some additional water," Assistant Chief Manifold says.
In the meantime, the department had to run water from the valley. Responders from all over DeKalb County and even from Georgia and Tennessee came to help. "Several local fireman had retired in the last few years and they all came out of the woodwork to help us and that was great, we needed all the help we could get," Assistant Chief Manifold.
Even though they couldn't save what once was an icon, responders say the fire could have been a lot worse. "If we had a west wind rather than an east wind we would have had the village to deal with."
The fire is still under investigation. There isn't an official word as to what caused the fire yet, but there is speculation that it might be related to electrical issues. Again, that's under investigation.

All Greece hates

All Greece hates
the still eyes in the white face,
the lustre as of olives . . .
Near Ekuvukeni,
in Natal, South Africa,
a woman carries water on her head. . . .
I have gone out, a possessed witch,
haunting the black air, braver at night;
dreaming evil, I have done my hitch . . .
Nothing has changed. They have a welcome sign,
a hill with cows and a white house on top,
a mall and grocery store where people shop, . . .
Behold and soak like a sponge.
I have discovered that the island of Puerto Rico
is the ears of Saru-Saru, a poet reputed to have lived . . .
Soul and race
are private dominions,
memories and modal . . .
I have heard the horn of Roland goldly screaming
In the petty Pyrenees of the inner ear . . .
To turn a stone
with its white squirming
underneath, to pry the disc . . .
On the crowded hill bordering the mill,
across the shallow stream, nearer than they seem,
they wait and will be waiting. . . .
He'll have been the last of his kind here then.
The flagstones, dry-stone walls, the slumping thatch,
out-offices and cow cabins, the patch . . .

A Blue Creek teenager is being charged in the rape of a five-year-old girl in Scioto County.
Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini said his office received a call approximately 2:30 a.m. Tuesday from a Camp Street, Friendship residence stating that a five-year-old had been sexually assaulted.
Deputies responded to the residence which resulted in a report being filed for rape. Deputies were able to speak with witnesses and the victim's mother which resulted in a detective being called out to assist with the investigation.
Donini said the victim was taken to Southern Ohio Medical Center for treatment then transferred to Adena Medical Center in Chillicothe which specializes in younger victims who have been sexually assaulted.
Donini said the suspect was located along with his mother at the Camp Street location. The suspect was brought in for questioning along with his mother which resulted in his being charged with rape a felony of the first degree.
The juvenile suspect had a hearing at Scioto County Juvenile Court on Tuesday, and the court was in the process of appointing an attorney to represent him. A court spokesperson said the juvenile was placed in detention and no hearing date has been set.
Anyone with any information concerning the charges is being requested to contact detective Jodi Conkel at the Scioto County Sheriff's Office at 740-351-1091. All calls will remain anonymous.

Agathiphagidae are 1 of only 3 lineages of Lepidoptera that have retained biting mouthparts instead of the coilable proboscis that is so distinctive for the remainder of the order.
Very little is known about the biology of adult Kauri moths as they are only rarely observed in their natural habitat.
They are nocturnal, and adults are thought to emerge and lay eggs in the southern hemisphere spring.
Despite the functional mandibles, it is unclear whether the adults feed at all.
The eggs and egg-laying behaviour of Kauri moths have not been described.
Based on the morphology of the female ovipositor - which is extendable but not piercing - we assume eggs are laid below the scales of the female Kauri Pine cone (genus Agathis).
The larva feeds and subsequently pupates inside the seed of the cone.
Before emerging, the larva enters a diapause that may last up to 12 years - the diapause is terminated by periods of high moisture, such as heavy tropical rain.

Five Movies I'll Drop Everything to Watch
My husband and I don't own a fishing boat.
We don't own a jet ski.
We don't have motorcycles or a swimming pool or awesome bicycles with monogrammed water bottles.
We don't have camping equipment. We don't own a tent.
What my husband and I do have is every single satellite movie channel in the universe. There. I said it. We have something like fourteen thousand HBO's, one for each time zone, one for families, one for Spanish speaking viewers, and a couple whose purpose I still don't understand. We have seven different Cinemaxes. Several different Starz channels. Basically, when we signed up for DirecTV service, we made it easy on the sales rep and said "Yes."
Because for us, you see, movie watching is our recreation. My husband's a rancher, which means he works outside. When he's not working, the last thing he wants to do is take a bike ride. The last thing he and the kids want to do is go to the lake. I'm not a bikini person myself. So a good movie in an air-conditioned home (or a heated home, if it's the dead of winter) is all this ranching family needs.
Since we have so many different movie channels, I'm subjected to many temptations as I channel surf. Usually I'm able to stay focused and scroll to the channel I was originally seeking and go on with my life. But sometimes I'll see a certain movie title in the channel guide and forget everything I was going to do and watch it instead. I'll also forget any chores or cooking I was going to do and watch it instead.
Here are five movies I would drop everything to watch. I'll be obsessing about each of these movies in separate posts sometime in the future; for now, I'll stick to these brief descriptions.
1. Chariots of Fire.
"I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure."
I can't watch five minutes of this British film with crying, cheering, or otherwise experiencing a complete flood of emotions. From Harold Abrams' desperate, unbridled desire to win…to Eric Liddell's commitment to publicly attribute his natural running ability to God, this early-eighties film is moving, stunning, and perfect. I've watched it three million times and have yet to find a flaw.
2. Mildred Pierce.
"Get out of here Veda. Get out of here before I kill you!"
The 1945 film noir movie, which stars the formidable Joan Crawford, tells the story of a divorced woman who builds a successful restaurant business while juggling the demands of her maddeningly-bratty daughter. It's gripping, suspenseful, wonderful…and makes any mother watching it totally rethink ever buying her daughter anything ever again.
Even if you watched the recent Mildred Pierce miniseries on HBO, you still need to watch this. It's packed with conflict, emotion, and fabulous mid-forties fashion, and is actually quite different from the more recent version.
3. The Godfather.
"Only don't tell me that you're innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and it makes me very angry. Now, who approached you first? Barzini or Tattaglia?"
Brando. Pacino. Keaton. Caan. The stunning cast, the glorious sets and costumes, and Michael's slow transition from golden boy war hero to head of a mob family brings me back every single time.
And Al Pacino? 1972? Fugghetaboutit.
4. Chapter Two.
"I suddenly felt sick in there. I now know it was just a mild case of ecstasy."
I imagine many of you have not seen this late-seventies Neil Simon masterpiece, based on his play of the same title. It's rarely on any of the movie channels, much to my consternation. Fortunately for me, I have every line memorized. Sometimes Marlboro Man catches me with my eyes half-mast, internally reciting Simon's criminally witty dialogue in my head. This story of a widowed writer who marries a woman he meets on an accidental phone call is a complete joy. James Caan and Marsha Mason were made for these roles, and the couple's journey through grief and healing love is a tearjerker.
5. Gone with the Wind.
"And put on plenty of blush. I want you to look your part tonight."
(UPDATE: Rouge? I'm devastated.)
There's nothing that can be said. Before too long, there'll be a whole category here devoted entirely to Gone with the Wind. I have much I need to say. For now, I'll just declare that this movie has seen me through fifth grade, eleventh grade, my twenties, thirties, and (so far) forties. Days of productivity have been destroyed by my getting sucked into the plantations and the hoop skirts and the war and the Tarleton boys. It's the greatest movie ever made, and I'll live on it the rest of my life.
("I'll live on it the rest of my life…" That's happens to be what Scarlett says to Ashley when she's begging him to tell her he loves her as he's leaving to go back to war after Christmas leave.)
"Oh, Ashley, I love you. I've always loved you. I've never loved anyone else. I only married Charles just to hurt you. Ashley, tell me you love me. I'll live on it the rest of my life."

Wow, someone else that's familiar with Chapter Two, I love that movie. James Caan is a bit of a whiner in this one but Marsha Mason yanks him out of his pitty party just in time while he still has a chance at love. I agree, this movie is not shown enough. I think I'll put in my Netflix queue right now

I looked for "Chapter Two" on Netflix and Blockbuster and it's not available. I went so far and to see if it's available on Amazon for purchase… but only on VHS. The DVD listing said to sign up for a notification when it becomes available. Here's hoping some exec in charge of deciding which old movies make it to DVD reads your post and does something about this travesty
Donna On Wednesday, November 2 at 12:55 pm
Oh My! There are just two many movies I love and will watch over and over and over…but, Godfather is at the top of the list.

NovemberBride On Saturday, November 5 at 9:11 pm
Love hearing about everyone's favs! I've seen all but the Chapter 2 one. Interesting thing about my favorites..everytime I'm watching one of them, hubs will invariably stroll thru and say, "You're watching THAT again?!" Always. Without fail.
1. Has to be Gone with the Wind..just purchased the 50th anniversary edition. No one can borrow it.
2. North and South..ok, it's not technically a movie. It was a mini-series that BBC produced in 2004. Some of the all time best acting I've EVER seen. Anyone else love ths one? (If you loved Pride and Prejudice, 1995 or 2005, you'll love this!!!)
3. O Brother…never fails to make me laugh. Not huge Clooney fan, but he outdid himself in this one.
4. To Kill a Mockingbird…just WOW!
5. Serendipidy…I adore thr way they connect the story throughout the movie! Excellent romcom!
6. Chariots of Fire. Inspirational to the hilt!
7. Amazing Grace…again fantastic acting and hugely important story.
8. Gladiator…Crowe was magnificent! oh I get 2 more you say?
9. well then, Dr. Zchivago, from my high school days. Sigh.
10. Nanny McPhee, just because. And Mr. Firth helps! And it's just fun!!!!
Holly On Saturday, November 5 at 9:12 pm
My list…it is difficult to limit to just 5.
The Notebook
Rear Window
West Side Story
The Bridges of Madison County
The Sound of Music oops that's 6.
I'll save the rest for another time.
Patti D On Monday, November 7 at 8:16 pm
My five…if I can narrow it down to five as I am from the generation of the 80's kick-booty movies…also the BEST music, cars & hairstyles…but I digress…

Ready to start your weekend a bit early? Me too. Here are a couple ideas for you. The first would be perfect if you're looking for something mellow, and the second if you want to sweat.
First of all, Po' Girl is playing at Angeline's Bakery in Sisters tonight at 7 p.m. Here's what I had to say about them in last week's GO! Magazine:
Mesmerizing. That's the word for the sound of Po' Girl. The Canadian quartet makes hauntingly gauzy indie-folk that's anchored by the show-stopping voices (and harmonies) of Allison Russell and Awna Teixeira. Imagine the house jazz band for some dusky bar that exists only in your groggy, post-nap mind, and you have the idea. Po' Girl will play at 7 p.m. Thursday at Angeline's Bakery (121 W. Main St., Sisters). Cover is $10.
They have a few songs you can listen to over at their Web site.
Meanwhile, at Silver Moon (24 N.W. Greenwood Ave., Bend), The Staxx Brothers are gonna funk it up right around 9 p.m. Cover is $5. Here's part of last week's blurb on them:
This Seattle band plays face-melting, heavy soul music that grunts and sweats and boogies like few bands can. It's old-school stuff that sounds about like the Rolling Stones might've sounded if they'd grown up surrounded by the hard rock and hip-hop of the late 20th century. And yes, it's gonna make you shake your thing. The Staxx Brothers are coming to Bend to celebrate the release of their new album "We are The Blaxstonz," and they promise two (or more) full sets of "hard ass soul," along with a little reggae and even country.
Of course, you can hear what these dudes do at their Web site, too.

DeBary VFW is fixin' to hold a hillbilly shindig Saturday, Jan. 18
posted Jan 20, 2014 - 5:43:18am
If the good Lord is willin' and the creek don't rise, the Ladies Auxiliary to DeBary Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8093 will be hostin' a Boot Scootin' Hootin' and Haulerin' Hillbilly Hoedown Saturday, Jan. 18.
The hoedown is intended to raise funds for programs that help veterans and their families through the VFW. The public is welcome, and a $5-per-person donation will be asked at the door.
Organizers hope those attending will also bring dishes of food to share.
The event begins at 7 p.m. At 8 p.m., the three-piece band Traces of Gold will begin to play.
There will be a square-dancing demonstration, line dancing, a shotgun wedding ,and a hillbilly Christmas tree. A jail will also be set up. Attendees will be able to pay to have another attendee arrested; the jailed party will have to get somebody to pay to bail him or her out.
Prizes will be awarded for the best hillbilly costume, and raffles for "redneck baskets" will be conducted.
"This is going to be a hoot!" VFW Ladies Auxiliary member Jeanne Laurine said. "Y'all come and see us, ya hear!"
The VFW is located at 351 S. Charles Richard Beall Blvd. in DeBary. Organizers of the Hillbilly Hoedown want to remind everyone that the VFW post is a smoke-free facility as of Jan. 1.

Always on time
Don't you hate it when you wake up in the morning and realize that your clock's alarm didn't quite do its job? I bet you do, especially if you have to get to work or class! When it comes to time viewing you should always ensure you have the most accurate clocks/watches at your disposal. Without this you will always end up late or in a big hurry.
Leaving your morning wake-up alarms to the one on your phone isn't such a good idea. Look what happened with the iPhone, as soon as daylight savings came in, the alarms just didn't seem to work. This is when you should go in for a good old atomic alarm clock. An atomic alarm clock will give you the accurate time right up to a second. What's more, it keeps updating itself to ensure that the time stays accurate. Atomic alarm clocks and watches receive radio signals from the synchronizing themselves with the atomic clock in Colorado. This is set up by the help of the National Institutes of Standards and Technology atomic clock.
Now the question arises as to how these atomic clocks get these signals. Well that's thanks to global positioning satellites which transmit the signals from the official atomic clock in Colorado to individual receivers in atomic wall clocks and desk clocks. This will ensure that even when daylight savings sets in you would not have to do anything manually. Due to the accuracy of the Atomic clock in Colorado even our computers synchronize online with clocks which are synchronized with the Atomic clock in Colorado.
Among the atomic alarm clocks, the alarm atomic clock Seiko would be the most simplistic and easy to use on. Get yourself one of these and you can be rest assured that you will be on time for everything! These atomic clocks come in both analog and digital designs. Seiko also makes some of the best atomic travel alarm clocks which have incredible accuracy as expected and really good portability. These clocks are perfect when it comes to traveling.

text: On the Rocks is a vibrant purple-blue with a blue iridescence. The finish is mostly matte, aside from the subtle iridesent shimmer. It's a pretty spectacular color–I don't really have anything like it that I can think of. MAC Cobalt is darker, bluer, which is the same issue with MAC Royale–so much darker, much bluer. The texture of this shade was silky soft, and it applied smoothly, evenly, and had good color payoff.

Investigators dug through rubble looking for details, families buried their dead and a glass seller more than quadrupled his daily income on Sunday as Pakistan's capital began to clean out one day after the most powerful terrorist bomb in the country's history.
The government announced that 53 people had been killed in Saturday's bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, which also injured more than 250 and destroyed the majority of the hotel's 300 rooms. Two Americans and the ambassador to the Czech Republic were among the dead.
In the rubble of the Marriott, a dozen vehicles sat crushed, their roofs caved in from the force of a 1,300-pound bomb. Investigators cleared out a crater 60 feet wide and 25 feet deep, large piles of mud, rocks and twisted metal sitting beside it. The lobby remained covered in debris, the former meeting point for Islamabad's elite reduced to scattered glass and marble.
"I don't know how I'm alive," one man told ABC News while standing a few hundred feet from the blast site, where he was working when the dump truck used in the attack hit the hotel's security gates. He says he barely escaped. "God saved my life."
The Interior Ministry released footage taken moments before the explosion showing a six-wheel truck ramming into the security gate just after 8 p.m. local time. At first a dozen or so security guards back away, but they eventually try to extinguish a fire that begins in the cab of the truck. The video cuts off before the large explosion.
"It is a direct hit on the integrity of Pakistan," Rehman Malik, the Interior Ministry chief, told ABC News in an interview late on Sunday. "We have become hostage in the hands of these terrorists."
Although no one has taken credit for the blast, al Qaeda, the Taliban and allied groups had been warning they would attack Pakistan's cities. Malik said that "all roads point to South Waziristan," the volatile tribal district along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border where senior al Qaeda leaders are believed to be hiding. Malik said the explosives included "military-grade" RDX and ammonium powder.
Earlier on Saturday, militants had ambushed two convoys in Waziristan, the first time they had launched a major attack on the military since agreeing to informal peace deals one year ago. The same militants have been blamed for making 2008 the most violent year for Western soldiers and Afghan civilians since 2001.
Security analysts here say the Taliban, al Qaeda, and their allies have never been stronger, using the Federally Administered Tribal Areas to recruit terrorists and to launch attacks in two countries. Saturday's attack was not the first time they reached deep into Pakistan's most secure areas -- and in so doing tried to influence government policy.
"I think the message is very clear," retired General Talat Masood, a former defense secretary, told ABC News. "Don't have any operations against us, military operations anywhere. Do not allow the Americans to interfere."
The United States has questioned Pakistan's willingness and ability to fight the militants, and just this month has launched at least seven ground and air assaults inside Pakistan's borders.

Honouring memory of Titanic engineers
Last updated at 12:13, Thursday, 12 April 2012
AS the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster is marked we remember two engineers, men from Cumberland, who died in the tragedy.
One was Jonathan Shepherd, born in Whitehaven in 1880. The other, his mentor, Joseph Bell of Farlam, near Brampton.
Jonathan's father, James B Shepherd, speaking afterwards recalled how his son had acted coolly and courageously while serving on his previous ship, the Olympic, when it had been in collision with HM cruiser Hawke in the Solent.
The grief-stricken father said of the Titanic sinking: "My lad would remain on duty, sink or swim. He would stick to his post to the last.''
Jonathan had moved as a child with his parents to Blackburn where he served his apprenticeship at the Canal Works of James Davenport. He then joined Howard & Bullough, Ltd of Accrington, and later worked for Hadfields Ltd, Sheffield.
With a desire to go to sea he secured a berth on a steamer belonging to Messrs W S Kennaugh & Sons, Liverpool, trading to South America. He came home, secured his second-class certificate and joined the Lowther Castle of the same firm, trading between New York and China and Japan, during the period of the Russo-Japanese War.
After securing his chief's certificate he joined White Star and served on the Adriatic, Teutonic, Olympic and Titanic. He also had also served in the St Paul. A single man, Jonathan was 32 when he died. He was junior assistant 2nd engineer on the Titanic. His ambition was to be chief engineer of a White Star liner.
Mr Shepherd senior said that when Mr Bell was appointed chief engineer on the Titanic he selected Jonathan to accompany him. It was a great honour but Jonathan, who had been five years with the White Star line, hadn't wanted to go. He would rather have stayed on the Olympic but was honoured and felt it his duty to join Bell.
Jonathan was said to be six feet tall, a man of good nature, jovial disposition and well liked.
His parents, James and Johanna Shepherd, in 1881, lived at 32 James Street in Whitehaven. James was an architect. Johanna was born in Limerick, Ireland. Jonathan was one of seven children and later the family moved to 9 Church Street. By 1901 they had left Whitehaven for Blackburn.
Jonathan's mother died in 1911, the year before her son was to be lost in the Titanic tragedy.
Jonathan's eldest sibling, his sister Frances, named after grandma, was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1874, so his parents must have been in America at that time.
Jonathan's grandparents were Jonathan and Frances Shepherd. Grandfather Shepherd was a cabinet maker employing about 30 men and boys and lived at Scotch Street and at 79 Lowther Street in Whitehaven.
When the Titanic went down she took with her the lives of many brave people including her entire complement of engineers under the control of Joseph Bell.
Mr Bell, who was aged 50, was the son of farmers John and Margaret Bell of Farlam, near Brampton. He left a wife Maud and four children.
His staff consisted of 24 engineers, six electrical engineers, two boilermakers, a plumber and a clerk. In addition, many of the firemen and coal trimmers were lost.
Not one engineer survived so there is no verbal evidence of the role they played, however there is evidence in the fact that the ship stayed afloat longer than it would have done had they not sacrificed their lives for the good of others.
ANOTHER who lost her life when the Titanic sank was a 63-year-old woman from Millom, Mrs Marion Meanwell, whose alligator-skin handbag was discovered, 88 years later in the 2000 sea-bed trawl for salvaged artifacts.
Mrs Meanwell was bound for New York where she was to stay with her daughter. She was the cousin of a Mrs Clara Beck of Cambridge Street, Millom, and it is believed she was intending to sail out aboard a smaller ship, the Majestic, which had been due to leave Southampton at about the same time as the Titanic but was detained because of a coal strike. She was used to making the trans-Atlantic voyage and in a message to Mrs Beck she said she was delighted with her accommodation on the Titanic.
Mrs Beck was born in Manchester and married to iron ore miner William Beck.
MARYPORT was the birthplace of Thomas Henry Ismay, owner of the White Star Line and last month a Maryport fisherman Brian McGuirk found a White Star saucer in his scallop nets while fishing off Holyhead, Anglesey.
It was quite a coincidence as his father John owns the White Star pub in Maryport and his mother Ann was born in the Maryport house formerly owned by Thomas Ismay. The piece of crockery is now part of the Titanic display at the town's Wave Centre.

Welcome to NVCCC
A group of passionate souls founded the Northern Virginia Chinese Christian Church (NVCCC) in 1974. Since then, our congregation has been gathering regularly to worship the Lord. Through various activities, we endeavor to minister to Chinese Christians and friends, and bring the gospel of salvation to everyone we meet. Our church is a house of God, and it is also the beloved family of our brothers and sisters in Christ. We welcome you to join our Sunday service—let us worship God and learn the Word of God together. Together, we can share in our strengths, encourage each other in times of need, and keep each other accountable as we walk on the spiritual journey.
If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus yet, we would love to assist you in getting to know Him. He created and rules the universe, and while He has never written a book or a poem nor painted a painting, there are countless books, songs and paintings for Him. He is unique, world-changing and incomparable. You will surely want to know Him and relate to Him. Jesus once said, "I have come that [you] may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). With Him as your shepherd and intimate friend, you will live a life full of joy and peace.
In addition to finding spiritual growth for yourself at NVCCC, you will also find a rich environment for your children. As a parent, you may crave to know how to "train a child in the way he should go, [so] when he is old he will not turn from it" (Proverbs 22:6). How does one raise a child to be strong and healthy, full of wisdom and in favor with God and all the people? You may find the answers in Jesus Christ.
Thank you for visiting us on the web! Additional information about our activities and schedules can be found at this website. If you are curious to learn more, or if you have any questions, you are welcome to contact us for further information.
God bless you!

"i wonder"
by z.t.
i wonder why the sky is blue
i wonder where her heart is too
i wonder if the heavens spake
what secret place my soul they'd take
where long she waits through faith and fear
for one like me whose heart draws near
It's a nice dream anyway..
(Not a poem)
Wondering what the future might have in store..
Not sure of anything anymore..
wanting to believe but feeling so deceived.
If my faith wasn't enough.. how much more could I have believed? I believed with all my heart. Now it seems I am still not further than where I began and the road ahead looks like a dead end.
I know I'm supposed to keep believing but there is hardly a wind left in my sail.
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
- thanks to CosmicWolf for this Irish Blessing poem
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
Tired from today at the hospital.
Tired from the past few day's online drama.
Tired of waiting for a perfect day when I can finally get done the things I need to take care of.
Tired of tolerating those that don't like me
Tired of hoping
Tired of praying
Tired of trying to figure out what's wrong.
Tired of living in fear.

Used to convert a 4-20 mADC or 1-5 VDC analog signal into a PWM signal of proportional duty cycle. Useful for controlling heaters, DC motors, and other electrical final control elements with standard analog instrumentation signals. Be careful to note the orientation of the two integrated circuits on the PCB layout: they face opposite directions!
The board is sized (with two screw holes) to precisely fit on the front of a standard 4 inch by 4 inch plastic electrical switch/receptacle box for easy and secure mounting.
Used to marshall 24 VDC power to 2-wire (loop powered) transmitters, converting this 4-20 mA current signal into a calibrated 1-5 VDC voltage signal suitable for input into various controllers, PLC analog inputs, and data acquisition modules. The PCB furnishes a diode for convenient current measurement, as well as enough power dissipation capability (ten 1000 ohm 1/4 watt resistors) to safely withstand the thermal effects of a shorted field transmitter. It also provides over-voltage input protection in the form of a zener diode.
The board is sized (with two screw holes) to precisely fit on the front of a standard 4 inch by 4 inch plastic electrical switch/receptacle box for easy and secure mounting.
Implements full Porportional-Integral-Derivative control in analog form, using two quad operational amplifiers. The biggest design weakness of this controller is that it requires the use of non-polarized capacitors for both integral and derivative control actions, which can be challenging to achieve long time constants for either I or D action when most non-polarized capacitors have rather modest capacitance values. The assembled photograph, in fact, shows an unwieldly array of mylar capacitors needed to achieve a modest reset (integral) time.
The PCB sports a large prototyping area to support other circuitry, such as voltage/current converters (needed for 4-20 mA output), PWM oulse output circuitry, and the aforementioned large capacitor arrays.
This circuit allows the use of cheap RC (radio-control) servo motors as electric valve actuators, by driving the servo motor according to a 4-20 mA DC analog command signal. The circuit was designed by an Instrumentation student (David Polson) to use a quad LM324 operational amplifier chip and operate on a split +5/-5 volt DC power supply. It features an adjustable deadband to prevent servo ``hunting'' as the shaft position nears the target value. The design is courtesy a former student of mine, David Polson.
Some ``surgery'' is necessary on the servo to connect it to this circuit. This circuit completely bypasses the circuitry inside a typical servo, directly sending power to the DC motor and reading shaft position from the servo's potentiometer.
The Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 PLC has its own PID instruction, but this program includes all the necessary scaling functions, conditional instructions, and other features to make it robust. It also provides the means for interface with non-Rockwell interfaces (e.g. Automation Direct C-More HMI panels) by using generic N7 integer file registers for PV, SP, Output, tuning parameters, etc. rather than PD PID file registers which may not be readable or writable by non-Rockwell devices. The program assumes the use of the model IF2OF2 dual-channel analog input/output expansion card, and provides dual PID loops accordingly. Download the program here.
Full PID program for the "CLICK" PLC PLC (with analog I/O) and a graphic layout for the 3 inch C-More Micro HMI panel
A wiring diagram showing how a "CLICK" PLC may be configured for convenient wiring of loop-powered transmitters, complete with protective elements.
A "trainer" unit is indispensable for learning PLC programming. All you need to build one is a PLC, a set of on/off switches to drive discrete signals into the PLC's input channels, and the appropriate power and communications cables. The example shown here was constructed from recycled building materials (a wooden base plate and some used household light switches), using an Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1000 PLC.
Note the use of terminal blocks to marshal wires between the switches and the PLC inputs, and also between the PLC outputs and any (future) output devices such as lamps and small motors. By using terminal blocks, the PLC's screw terminals are spared the wear and tear of re-making wire connections between the PLC and any optional input/output electrical devices.

We both like George RR Martin's novels. So I wanted to do something dragon inspired.
I searched for a dragon toy, but to no avail.
So I decided to make my own stuffed animal.
It didn't come out quite as I planned, but its a dragon none the less and its the thought that counts, isn't it?
Step 1: What you need!
some paper & pencil to sketch
needle and thread
Sewing machine (optional/ not depicted)
Step 2: Sketching and making the stencil
Step 3: Cutting the fabric
Remember to flip the stencils (not like I did)
Also note that you will need 4 legs and 4 wings
Leave enough space for the stitching
Step 4: Sewing
Leave open a space in each of the pieces so you can turn them inside out again.
Step 6: STUFFING
hand-sew the limbs to the body

What country did your greatgrand parents come from, this is the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, and WE the PEOPLE, in ORDER to form a more PERFECT UNION, ENSURE Domistic Tranquillty, PROMOTE for the GENERAL WELFARE, YOU are already a SOCIALIST, you BIG DUMMIE !!!
Somebody HELP, we give money to BIG OIL, when clearly their PROFITS state that they don't need it, but we can't approve FLOOD Insurance, somethings very wrong with this picture. Wgo are you putting in office ???
Still, I see that Ms. Head is concern about the KIDS summer program, but only in the DISTRICT of her choosing, and NOT the WHOLE city, which I find puzzling. The two holdouts, have their own adgenda, just as the rest do. Oh how excited Ms Clarkson is, about someone who can help fullfill her dreams of the real estate market, they ALL have adgendas, Meanwhile the MOST NEEDY, go without and CRIME get ready to get OUT of CONTROL, not that it was ever under control. Everybody , needs to think qabout others, and NOT just THEMSELVES !!!
I agree, GOBBLE GOBBLE, so be it. What's important is that the funds brought back to this state benefit the people, not just the croonies of the powers tobe. More RESPECT should be given to Sen. Landrieu, first because she is a woman, would you like someone to talk about you mommy like that and second she is the SENOR SENATOR of the state , in DC, everything worth ANYTHING has to go through her. This is for ALL of those who don't RESPECT OUR FEMALES, it has to STOP . Get the message Frogmansuit, STOP DISRESPECTING OUR FEMALES !!! Wake UP America !!!
I wonder just how many really watch the council meeting, did you notice the CONSPIRCY to give themselves a 100 percent raise, both Clarkson and Head voted for that, now I do give Head credit for calling for some ACCOUNTABLITY, but there have been MANY GAMES played, like the election of CAO, which the email EXPOSED Ms Heads dislike for the OLD ideas of Ms Clarkson. My concern is that the area MOST impacted by KATRINA is STILL a DISASTER ZONE, and nither Ms Clarkson nor Ms Head have shown the PASSION for those zones, as they have for their FORMER districts. On the day of the walk ou , it was MS CLARKSON , who brought up RACE, and the need or urgency to go to FEDERAL City, and meet with the Mayor. That was more important than the issues at hand. One should not be surprised of the action of the 2 that still hold out. Now look, Ms Head is more concern in stopping Tulane, from building it's stadium, than the people of the 9th ward, both lower and upper, meaning the east. I say in the east, a DISASTER ZONE, and I want the council women at large and the two others to give this area, as much attention as they give, their OLD DISTRICTS. They have to represent the W H O L E city!!
Now on this I can agreee with Sen Vitter on, those funds should be use for the pue[ose they were supposed tobe use for, gov. Jindal should step in, these RECYCLED REJECTS that have been appointed to handle this program are a DISMAL FAILURE, like St Benard's Tiffaro, who could care less, based on the last meeting, showing his arrogance, while a DISABLED VETERAN was trying to state his case. Mr Vitter has got it right, and should be supported in his efforts , to have these funds spent as they were destined!!
This is NOT about President Obama, it's about the character of Romney, which is consistent, I like firing people, they should self deport, my grandfather had multiple wives, so my daddy was born in Mexico, my religion use to practice PLENTY wives to 1 man, but I believe in 1 man and 1 wife. My son's serve ME, so that makes them PATRoits, to me !!! Give me a break !!!!
ALL sounds good to me, it's long overdue !!
This has to stop, it's time for the police to PROFILE, it's alright with me. Children are being killed, behind this foolishness. They need to go to jail, straight to jail, NOW !!!
And Romney said he would bale them out again, Wake UP America. The GREEDY are STILL just that GREEDY !!
If Mr. Vitter is so concern about MONEY, he should ask the govenor about all of the money sitting aside, for Enterprize to decide what they want to do, for first time financing, instead of giving people who STILL have needs, trying to get there homes repaired. Such was the case when a DISABLED VETERAN, who while trying to express himself to the Committe for Disaster Relief, while Tefero sat laughing with his private joke, this RECYCLED REJECT should not be on this committe, and the govenor should look into how this program is being used as a SLUSH FUND, or maybe the Justice department should investigate. This is s shame !! Come on Mr. Vitter, you should be interested in WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE, because that is just what's happening .
As a child I saw nothing but WHITE folks in the Iberville projects, now all of those have been able to move on, lets hope it does that for the present occupants as well, the POOR will always be with us, mainly with the likes of GREED seen today at the top. Good job Sec. Donovan, keep up the good work, don't turn your head, because these CROOKS will soon take full advantage !!
There many more like him down here, they just have not been caught yet, gov. Jindal sent the mental hosp. across the lake, just wait !!!
What about the Subsidy to Big Oil, after reporting RECORD PROFITS, you have your head in the wrong place, stop falling for the rightwing stew !!
1% of the population owns over 90 % of the wealth, go figure, now your esposue back at you, and nature has more sense than man gives it, WHITE REPEALS and BLACK ABSORDS, everything on the planet reacts to the sun, now DOG is mans best friend, name another that spells GOD ? !!!
Data shows that while record profits where made TAX collection did not go up, as it should have, The P I M P S have gotten fat enough, now PAY the PEOPLE !!!
As was said by General Colin Powell and those before him BEWARE of the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX !!!
POTHEAD you smoke too much pot, percentages are a game, to impress fools !! The children of those who once gave , now are the GREEDY. Halliburton sold the military towels for a 100 hundred dollars, because it had an H on it, now tell me no other contractor can sell the government a towel for less than a hundred dollars, this is about the HOOK UP and GREED. Tricky Dick Cheney has been on Governmwent WELFARE ALL of his life , just like the speaker of the house , with his crybaby behind. You can't defend GREED, that's part of the problem today. Yes , those with tax exemption should now pay their fare share. Too many had gotten filty rich under the tax exemption rule, just as the republican congress, REFUSE to take away FREEBIES for big oil, with record breaking profits. Give me a break. Wake UP America, the ENEMY is WITHIN, and it's NOT ME !!!!
What you don't see is the HOOK UP, the Defense dept. is a SLUSH FUND. and other govenment depts were used to pay off supports, like Homeland Sec. the 2 wars off the books, WHY . I think because George Bush 1 gave Tricky Dick Cheney the job to OUTSOURCE the Defense dept. after 1 term Tricky Dick ran to HALLIBURTON , where he had GUARANTEED NO BID CONTRACTs coming to them, and 20 % plus cost, now here come the push for WAR, so the could make a KILLING, poor George Jr. did't have a CLUE until AFTER the GREAT AMERICAN RIPP OFF had taken place, and instead of being one of the GREATEST he now hide, due to embarassment. He was told to sell the people on putting their MONEY in the Stock Market, when he KNEW it was about to fall from almost 15 thousand down to 6/ Now aask Yourself, WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THAT MONEY ? !!
Politics, NO style, very interesting,after reading almost ALL post, I find there is STILL alot of bitterness bet Blacks and Whites. No doubt Leadwership has been a DISMAL FAILURE, regardless of race. What's needed is ACCOUNTABILITY from ALL, regardless of HUE !! As a BLACK MAN , I like the fact that Ms Head tried to stand for accountability, Now the vote to give themselves a 100 percent raise, put some doubt in my mind, but I understand that their under paid, compared to some other city positions, thus the Mayor reduces salaries 10 percent, OUTSTANDING move. The politics stink. Ms Head used Cao, too unseat Jefferson, I give you that one, she also slammed Ms Clarkson, bigtime. There's too much anomosity, with big fronts. Now, Ms Head most show as much concern for the rest of the city, namely the 9th ward, both sides, as she has shown for Uptown. Did I mention I was a BLACK MAN. Good leadership is needed, for the CITIZEN'S who live and work here, EVERYDAY, not just the visitors, regardless of how much MONEY they spend. RACE will always be a problem, down here, because of it's HISTORY. I can understand the RICH voting republican but why the POOR, meaning the poor whites, who get nothing from their policy but more misery, could it be because of SOCIAL ISSUES, I think so. I read a lot of HATE in this post, New Orleans has a long way to go. NOW, why have I not seen , not 1 member at the Hurricane Disaster Relief Committe meetings, where the STATE is sitting on M I L L I O Ns,that WE the People of New Orleans should have and can't get, because the F I X is in. The JUSTICE dept. should be investigating. Your argueing over the WRONG THING. Get it together New Orleans !!

Why attend the 7th Annual BioSciences Forum
For the 7th year in a row, the NC State Jenkins Graduate School's BioScience Management Initiative is hosting a bioscience forum at the NC Biotechnology Center. It will be held on Friday, October 28th. I encourage all that are able to attend, as it is sure to be an informative event full of networking possibilities. As if that is not enough, three compelling reasons you should attend the forum are:
1) To Learn: Four experts in the bioscience industry are scheduled to speak on various topics. Each of their personal experiences and knowledge in the business will bring unique perspectives and insight. These individuals will be able to answer questions and offer advice. Three invitees have accepted invitations to date:
Harry Reynolds:
Harry Reynolds is currently the director of Health Industry Transformation for IBM Global Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry. Previously, Harry was a vice president and Information Compliance Officer at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
Mark Augusti
Mark Augusti is presently the President of Smith and Nephew's Biologics Division. Mr. Augusti has also served as vice president at JPMorgan Chase & Co. from 2000 to 2003 and held various positions with GE Medical Systems from 1987 to 2000.
Chris McDonald
Chris McDonald is the site director Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics in Holly Springs NC. It is the largest vaccine bio-manufacturing plant in the US. Previously he was global head of Manufacturing Strategy, Novartis Vaccines, and prior to that was senior director of Operations, Sandoz.
2) To connect: Attending the forum will be over two hundred biotech visionaries. This event is an excellent way to network and connect with faculty and students of the BioSciences Management Initiative at the Jenkins School of Management, Poole College of Management, NCSU. These individuals represent professionals with years of experience in bioscience and the future industry leaders. Also attending will be some of the key participants from the Poole College of Management's executive education center, Business Collaboratories. The partners that make up the Business Collaboratories network bring powerful research, tools, and assessments to the college. Specifically, the Center for Innovation Management Studies (CIMS) brings useful insight to the application of innovation in professional environments, which is advantageous even in the bioscience industry.
3) To discuss: Big and small companies will be able to share their wants and needs. Whether you are coming from a large corporation or a small company, your concerns and needs will be heard at the forum. Managers of big companies can express their needs and wants to small companies and academia. Similarly, managers of small companies and academic researchers can to explain how their solutions can match the needs and wants of the current industrial climate.
These are only three of many reasons to attend the Bioscience Forum. We hope to see as many of you out there to drive conversation and work towards common goals in our industry.

Under the guidance of Grand Master Ray Smith local martial arts students continue to rake in the awards.
Nik Poland, a 16-year-old Summerville High School student who trains at Smiths Summerville dojo, won the bronze medal in the 18-32 year old division during the Cali Colombia International Taekwondo Open competition held earlier this month.
Poland, along with 20 other members of the USA National Taekwondo Team, represented the United States, the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Taekwondo during the international competition held in Colombia, South America. His selection to this elite group of athletes ranks him as one of the top competitors in the United States in the Olympic sport of Taekwondo.
Poland has compiled an impressive record of wins and accomplishments during the past year alone that demonstrate his talent and his dedication to the sport.
He won four South Carolina State titles. He placed first during the USA National Qualifier in both the 14-17 year old and the 18-32 year old Black Belt Divisions.
In January, he won a bronze medal at the U.S. Open Tae Kwon Do tournament in Las Vegas NV, earning him international ranking and world-wide recognition in this highly competitive and disciplined sport.
Polands other accomplishments include traveling to Bolivia where he earned a silver medal competing in the adult division, earning a spot on the U.S. National Team and winning at the South Carolina State Championship, Governors Cup, Southeast Regional, Tae Kwon Do Festival, U.S. Cup, U.S. Cup Team Trials, Goodwill Games, U.S. National Team Trials and Winter Battle.
Poland accomplished all of this while maintaining excellent grades at SHS and working part time.
He has received recognition from Governor Nikki Haley, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, Congressman Mark Sanford and South Carolina State Senator Sean Bennett.
This month seven of Smiths other students earned 17 awards at the 2014 Southeastern USA Open Tae Kwon Do Championships in Asheville, N.C.
Ty Hedges placed first in Boards, Forms and Sparring.
Olivia Gross placed first in Forms and Sparring and second in Boards. Aidan Donehoo placed first in Forms and second in Sparring. Lucas Donehoo placed first in Boards and third in Forms and Sparring. Thomas Goddard placed first in Forms an third in Sparring.

Video:How to Make a Clothes Pin Angelwith Chris Davis
A clothespin angel craft is an easy and creative project for your kids. Making clothespin angels are a great activity for parents and adults to do together during the holiday season. Learn how to make a clothes pin angel with these steps.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make a Clothes Pin Angel
Hi, I am Chris Davis for About.com. Christmas is on the way. Let's walk through how to makea clothes pin angel ornament.
To Make a Clothes Pin Angel Ornament, You'll Need:
- Clothes pins
- White felt
- White or silver ribbon
- Cotton balls or yarn
- Pipe Cleaner
- White, silver or gold synthetic flower
- Scissors
- Craft Glue
- Markers
- Silver or gold paint
Paint the Clothes Pin
You will want to begin by painting the tips of the clothes pins with the silver or gold paint. Set aside and let dry. These will be the angels feet. While the paint is drying cut a square piece of felt about 2 1/2" by 2 1/2". This will become the angels dress. Repeat cutting the felt until you have the desired number of angels you want to make. Once the paint has dried draw a face on the top of the clothespin. Apply craft glue to the clothes pin where the felt will go.
Decorate with Fabric to Make the Angel
Wrap the felt around the clothespin allowing the top corners to overlap. Cut a piece of ribbon about 3 inches long. Put a dab of glue along the ribbon and then gently press into place forming the angels arms.Once the arms have dried Squirt a little glue on the back and top of clothes pin and either place a pulled apart cotton ball or short pieces of yarn to create the angels hair. let this dry.Next cut a 3 inch long piece of pipe cleaner and form a ring. This will become the halo. Glue the halo to the top of the head. Finally pull the petals of you synthetic flower. Using two petals, glue them on the back of the clothes pin to form the wings. Now you can display your angel or add a hanger to hang it from the Christmas tree.

While business is booming along Milan Road in Perkins Township, the retail center in the Register's four-county region, so is theft.
From Black Friday to Dec. 5, Perkins police investigated 33 thefts.
Among the items stolen: $4,050 from an ice cream store; 150 wooden pallets; 30 boxes of pork; five Peanuts Christmas ornaments; three sets of throwing knives; a motor scooter; an iPhone; and an undisclosed amount of money from a fast food restaurant's safe.
"Unfortunately, every year we see an increase in thefts towards the holidays," Perkins police Chief Ken Klamar said.
The uptick in thefts seems to be an unavoidable seasonal trend, although Klamar said there are some ways people can cut their chances of becoming a victim. It's not rocket science, either. Too often, people get in a rush or simply neglect to take practical precautions.
"It's important to hide your valuables and lock your doors." Klamar said. "The harder it is to steal,the less likely a thief will take the risk. Obviously there's more risk of being caught if they have to break down a door or shatter a window to get inside."
Thefts happen all over at this time of year, but the Milan Road is typically the epicenter — the Sandusky Mall and large chain stores, such as Walmart and Meijer, present unique opportunities to would-be thieves targeting parked cars.
"When people that want to steal see 500 cars in the parking lot, they see more places to hide and more property in one location," Klamar said.
In the 13-day stretch from Nov. 23 to Dec. 3, there were seven thefts reported at Sandusky Mall properties. That accounted for a little more than 20 percent of all thefts in that period.
Walmart and Meijer tallied three apiece.
Of the 33 thefts, 12 were at retail stores, while five were from vehicles.
Only one shoplifter of 12 got away. Thieves who targeted vehicles were never caught.
Bellevue police have also been fighting a rash of commercial burglaries. BusinesseshitthereincludeGreat Lakes Packing; Bierkeller Pub; Bellevue Meats; the Bellevue VFW; Gildemeister Motor Co.; and Dedinger's car wash.
Anyone with information can call Bellevue police Detective Eric Burt at 419-484-5525.
The Ohio Attorney General's office also warned Ohioans to be on guard against scammers at this time of year, particularly people who call and ask for donations to charities.
Residents should determine in advance which charities they're interested in supporting.
The Attorney General's office offers an online registration of charities at ohioattorneygeneral.gov/ charitablesearch.
