Southern Heritage Bank RANKS #28 in Best Banks to Work for in U.S.
Southern Heritage Bank has been named one of the Best Banks to Work For. Southern Heritage currently ranks 28th overall for banks across the entire United States. Southern Heritage Bank opened in Cleveland in 1999 and has three local banking offices.
Beginning October 3, 2016, Southern Heritage will formally become a division of First Citizens National Bank, headquartered in Dyersburg, Tennessee. First Citizens National Bank ranked #11 in Best Banks to Work For.
Lee Stewart, Chairman and CEO, said I am very proud of this important recognition. We, as well as our parent company, understand the importance of our teammates they create our success. To receive this recognition while in the middle of a merger is quite an accomplishment.
The full list will be featured in the September issue of American Banker Magazine and is now available online at www.AmericanBanker.com.
The program, which was initiated in 2013 to identify, recognize and honor the best banks to work for in the nation, is a project of American Banker and Best Companies Group. In all, 60 banks achieved Best Bank status in this fourth year for the program.
To be considered for participation, banks had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least 50 employees working in the US
- Be a Commercial Bank, Thrift, Mutual Association, Mutual Savings Bank, Savings & Loan Association or a Savings Bank.
Determining the Best Banks to Work For involved a two-step process. The first step consisted of evaluating each participating banks workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top banks and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.
Southern Heritage Becomes Division of First Citizens.
Good News! We've Improved our Debit Card Fraud Prevention System to Protect You.
Beginning June 8, 2016, here's how the new system will work:
1. When a potentially fraudulent transaction is detected, you will receive an automatic text message alert from 32874. You can respond with "fraud" if you did not authorize the transaction or "no fraud" if you did.
2. If you do not respond via text within five minutes, you will receive an automatic phone call to confirm or deny you authorized the transaction.
Remember, our text messages and phone calls will never ask you for your PIN, account number or other private information.
Note that the phone number for our Fraud Prevention Center has changed to 1-800-417-4592. If you add this number to your phone contacts and label it "SHB Fraud Prevention," it will display whenever you get a call from this number.
Please make sure we have your current contact information so the fraud prevention system can perform at its very best. To confirm or update your contact information or ask any questions, feel free to call 423-473-7980 or stop by and speak to any of our Customer Service Representatives.

CLEVELAND, Tenn. Southern Heritage Bank grew its share of deposits in Bradley County for the fifth consecutive year according to a report recently released by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Southern Heritage increased local deposits by $22.4 million to $231.5 million since mid-2014, and maintains the second highest share of local deposits with 15.3 percent.

The report shows First Tennessee Bank continues to lead in county deposit market share with 16.9 percent, although the nationally chartered bank showed a decline in local deposits of $10 million from the previous year.
Southern Heritage has steadily grown in both total deposits and local deposit market share since 2010 when it was ranked fifth among local FDIC institutions.

Total county-wide FDIC-insured deposits were $1.51 billion dollars, compared with $1.41 billion from the previous year, a 7.1% increase.
Lee Stewart, SHB chairman and CEO, attributes the banks steady growth in local deposits to, our banks continued commitment to Cleveland and Bradley County, highly attentive customer service and a mission to reflect Christian values in all of the banks relationships.

Public Education
Why Technology Alone Can't Fix the Education ProblemThursday, February 06, 2014 Comment
For more than a decade now, I've internally cringed whenever someone talks about the promise of technology in education. Often, discussions of iPads, video games, laptops for all focus on the potential of access to the software, device, or app rather than how it's used. In 1999, my department at UC Santa Barbara decided that all lecturers would hold classes in campus computer labs to demonstrate our progressiveness. We received no training. There was no brainstorming about lessons. We were given no information about the specs of the computer labs. Space was reserved and we were
To Hasten Equity…Scale the IndividualMonday, December 10, 2012 Comment
Public education could be the most accelerating venue for social change. Rather than waiting for any of the incredible [past, current and ongoing] innovations in redefining public education to scale, imagine we scale the individual. Imagine a new (old) narrative that can start anywhere because it begs no prep or training. Imagine we trust simplicity enough to give it a go. Imagine hastening equity and ongoing sustainability. IDEC is an annual global conference that circulates to the US every 10 years. From August 4-8, 2013, it will be hosted at CU-Boulder. We're taking advantage of this
Facebook, Public Education and Equity: A 13-year-old Fights for a "Better School"Monday, October 08, 2012 Comment
Last April, 9-year-old Martha Payne created a blog to discuss the quality of the food served in her school called "Never Seconds." In the blog, she discussed the quality (and quantity) of food available in her school using terms such as "food-o-meter" and "healthness." The blog become an international hit and attracted the attention of several celebrities, including Jamie Oliver. Martha's blog also increased awareness about the quality and quantity of food served in the UK's (and the world's) public schools, leading to several changes, including in Martha's school. Inspired by Martha Payne's case, Isadora Faber,
Declaration of InterdependenceFriday, July 20, 2012 Comment
We have massive research and many evidences available…[ie: Diane Ravitch is declaring a bunch of them here, we've gathered particular ones here]…that what we're doing in the name of public education is not serving us well. Perhaps we declare some new laws in regard to public education, in regard to interdependency. The term interdependency came as we were researching laws for homeless teens. While some states allow 14-year-olds to declare independence, often resulting in homelessness, some are trying to restate that to a declaration of interdependence where each teen is matched up with an adult.

There are few non-profits whose mission addresses all the needs of those in an impoverished country. Hosean does exactly that by meeting the needs of the people of Haiti spiritually, educationally and economically by equipping people with life skills and job opportunities.
I have supported Hosean's child sponsorship program and worked as an advocate for the organization in my church, my city (Little Rock, AR) and across the South. It is easy to be an advocate after yo see the work first-hand in Pignon, Haiti. There's no greater mission than the one Hosean International Ministries is taking on.
I have been on a missions trip to Hoasean's church in pigeon Haiti .and I know the pastor Caleb Lucien and his family they are great people and have a Jett for Christ. This non profit is a good kne to check out of you just want to go on a short term missions trip . I had a phenomenal time

I first heard of HIM through my church. After my first mission trip in 2009, I was initially overcome with emotions. However, my spirits were lifted after witnessing and being apart of the work HIM is doing. Seeing firsthand the school, church, camp and rehab clinic helped me see there are organizations and people out there doing exactly what they say will be done. I saw where funds and manpower were being used to bless others.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Because of my experience I am now a sponsor for a student at College de la Grace. I knew once I saw the kids and the school it was something I had to do.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Not change anything. I just pray that God continues to strengthen Pastor Caleb and his family as well as HIM staff and volunteers so that it's work continues to grow! N.R.

BEREA—One of the bright spots coming out of the Eagles loss was the play of rookie Phil Taylor.
The No. 1 draft choice broke through and knocked Michael Vick to the ground on the game's third play, causing a fumble which Jayme Mitchell recovered.
"I'm just getting better every week in practice," Taylor said. "Every play I'm working to prove, I'm doing extra conditioning and learning to run after the play."
Pat Shurmur said Taylor has gotten better every game.
"There were some flashes of what you expect from a defensive tackle in this league," he said. "He's really making steady progress.
"He had a sack," Shurmur said. "He forced a fumble. I think he's making steady improvement getting to the level of play that we expect from him. He played better and I'm comparing his play in games and in each game he has played better."
A defensive lineman's play doesn't always show up in the statistics as many times the tackles are double-teamed. Taylor's only tackle against Philadelphia was the sack and forced fumble.
"If I'm double-teamed, the linebackers get the tackles," he said. "For me, it's just doing my job."
Taylor said the use of his hands in getting past the offensive lineman has been important at this level.
"I've been using my hands my whole career," he said. "You have to use your hands more at this level."
Shurmur likes the way Taylor and Ahtyba Rubin are playing in tandem.
"They are working very well together," he said. "For a young guy, Rubin is a nice guy for Phil to pair up with."
Taylor is happy with his progress and plans to just get better.
"I think I did a good job against (Vick)," he said. "I know that I needed to work on my pass rushing and week in and out it is getting better. I think (against the Eagles) I did a better job."
So Far, So Good: It appears that RB Montario Hardesty came through the first game with no setbacks. Hardest carried the ball five times for 15 yards and had one run for five yards.
"It felt really good to be on the field and take some hits," he said. "It felt great to be the first time out there and make some plays.
"I did not play a lot in the game, but I felt good while I was in there," he said. "I just want to continue to improve and feel good and hopefully, get more action in the next game."
Injuries Mounting: WR Mohamed Massaquoi (foot), WR Carlton Mitchell (finger), DB T.J. Ward (hamstring), DB Usama Young (hamstring), LB Marcus Benard (shoulder), WR Jordan Norwood (knee), DB Dimitri Patterson (ankle). LB Archie Donald (stinger), LB Titus Brown (ankle), LB Chris Gocong (neck), WR Josh Cribbs (hamstring), LB Steve Octavien (leg), OL Eric Steinbach (back) and RB Brandon Jackson (toe) all didn't practice.
Shurmur said he expects Massaquoi to practice this week, but doesn't know if he'll play in the final preseason game.
"(The trainers) tell me that he should practice this week," Shurmur said.
Shurmur said that Brown suffered what appears to be a high ankle sprain and he will most likely be out for a while.
Jackson is in a cast and Shurmur didn't sound optimistic about him returning very soon.
"It's hard to say," he said. "He's in a cast. He'll be out a while. The toe isn't broken, but it will take some time."
The injury was earlier termed a 'turf toe.'
Shurmur is hoping Young will be able to practice soon.
"He's improving," he said. "He's getting better and soon he'll be out here."
Shurmur said that Steinbach is getting treatments for his back, but there is no timetable for his return. With Steinbach out, rookie Jason Pinkston has been getting the nod at left guard.
"He has made huge, huge strides in three weeks," Shurmur said. "He's at a very challenging position and he's making huge progress."
Shurmur was asked if it's frustrating to be dealing with so many injuries.

An investigation involving adding and subtracting sets of consecutive numbers. Lots to find out, lots to explore.
What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
For a positive integer $n$, we define $n!$ to be the product of all the positive integers from $1$ to $n$; that is $n!=1\times 2\times 3\times\ldots\times n$.
If $n!=2^{15}\times 3^6\times 5^3\times 7^2\times 11\times 13$, what is the value of $n$?

Final score from Saturday's Class 3A state football playoff game in Silver City: Silver 2, Robertson 1.
Two to one as in two big momentum surges to one.
Or maybe, given the nastiness that played out, it was two haymakers to one.
The host Colts galloped to a 21-0 lead, watched as the Cardinals rallied to tie the score, then trotted off with 20 straight points to pull out a 41-20 victory.
Former Pojoaque star Ryan Gonzales led all players with 15 points and helped New Mexico Highlands defeat Colorado College 71-49 Saturday in the 27th Annual Al-Kaly Classic hosted by Colorado State-Pueblo.
Gonzales sank four three-point baskets and made three free throws to go with two assists, one rebound and a block. Marcus Williams added 11 points and Momcilo Latinovic had nine for NMHU (1-1).
Highlands, which outshot Colorado College 42 percent to 37 percent and outrebounded its foe 41-34, led 33-18 at halftime.

Matha finishes Bengals' tryout without contract offer
Former McDowell High School and Indiana University of Pennsylvania football standout Dan Matha left the Cincinnati Bengals' rookie minicamp Sunday without a contract, but still upbeat about his NFL prospects.
Matha said Monday that the Bengals didn't offer to sign him after a three-day tryout at Paul Brown Stadium last weekend.
But the 6-foot 7-inch, 310-pound Matha, who ended his career as an offensive tackle for Indiana last fall, said Bengals coaches told him they plan to keep him on their radar.
"(Offensive line coach Paul Alexander) came up to me personally and said he would have signed me if there was an open spot on the team," Matha said in a text message Monday. "He also said to keep working out and staying in shape (because) once a spot opens up they're gonna sign me."
The Bengals begin organized team activities Monday.

Cheerful blossoms on my desk
By fishavore
from Pacific Northwest
Comments about OttoHutt Otto Hutt Design 04 Ruthenium Floral Ballpoint:
I purchased this beautiful ballpoint pen from Levenger about a year ago. It is not only unique but also comfortable for me to use for long periods of time because its relatively heavy weight sits well between my fingers. I always admire that its blossoms give a cheerful mood to wherever I use it. Another reason that I love this is that it takes Levenger's ballpoint pen refills, which write smoothly on any paper.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Available as part of Palm Harbor Homes' Eco-Cottages series, the Net Zero Eco Cottage is geared for upscale, green-minded buyers in two distinct markets: the resort property owner and clients looking to build a guest house or in-law suite on their existing property. Resort applications are typically coastal and involve installing the home on stilts. The most common setting is a 55+ active lifestyle environment.
For guest-house/in-law suite applications, the plan can be adapted in numerous ways for accessibility for the physically challenged, or even custom configured as a second office, art studio, or home theater. "More and more municipalities are allowing the use of dwellings like this in the back yard of existing infill neighborhoods without requiring rezoning or, in some cases, permits," says Michael Wnek, senior VP with Palm Harbor Homes. Wnek says the floor plan, while just 399 square feet, is livable on a scale with dwellings several hundred square feet larger, thanks to its efficient space design and dozens of hidden storage elements throughout.
Modular manufacturer: Palm Harbor Homes, Modular product line: Eco-Cottages, Size: 399 sf, Dimensions: 12', 6" wide x 48' deep

The Kentucky Derby will be held for the 140th time on Saturday, May 3, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. Elegantly dressed VIPs will watch the famous race from Millionaire's Row, while 80,000 revelers will party on the infield (with no view of the race at all).
You can book a trip to Louisville and pay $40 for an infield ticket (or $6,000-plus for the Millionaire's Row package).
Or, you can watch the action on television and host your own Derby fête. The "greatest two minutes in sports" is thrilling to watch — but before and after the sleek horses thunder around the bend, entertain guests with frosty mint juleps, hot browns and bourbon cake.
The Kentucky Derby is the first of the U.S. Triple Crown, where 3-year-old thoroughbreds compete on a 1¼-mile track. The horse whose nose crosses the finish line first is cloaked in a garland of red roses. For the two weeks preceding the race, Louisville celebrates the Kentucky Derby Festival with fireworks, parades and fundraisers.
Race day itself is laden with Southern traditions replicated at Derby parties in homes and at local pubs. Break out your fanciest hat, polish the silver julep cups and invite friends over to kick up their heels and commemorate 2014's "Run for the Roses."
Elaine Hart lived in Wisconsin until 2007, when she moved with her now-husband Dan Hart to Louisville. While she had heard of the famous race, she had never before celebrated it.
"We've traded in our cows and beer for horses and bourbon — not that we'd ever turn down cheese and beer," says Elaine.
"Most of the average locals don't go to the Derby," she says, but they still celebrate it. The Harts will be at the track for "Thurby," the races held the Thursday prior to the Derby. Friday is Oaks Day at Churchill Downs, and many businesses and schools are closed. Others attend house parties the day of the race or celebratory brunches the Sunday after.
Now that the Harts have a baby, they've given up their spot on the infield and regularly host their own party. What are the essentials of a true southern Derby party? "Bourbon, bourbon and more bourbon," says Dan. The Harts always include a bourbon tasting at their event.
Other fundamentals at the Hart household are mint juleps, a Derby pie dessert and bourbon balls. "You can't mess with the classic Louisville fare," says Elaine. At the race, the mint juleps are made from Early Times ready-to-serve mix.
"It sounds cheap, but after trying several juleps over the years, it's my favorite."
Ready to plan your own Kentucky Derby festivities?
Theme and décor
Go elite or casual — reflect either the glamour of the box seats or an infield bacchanal. Suggest that guests dress in fine garden party garb (a hat is essential for ladies, bright-colored ties for gents) or backyard barbecue casual, depending upon which way you go.
Set the mood with bouquets of roses or set tables with brightly colored tablecloths or runners that pay tribute to the intensely-colored jockeys' silks.
Early May means 70-degree days for folks south of the Mason-Dixon Line, so a day long party at the races calls for refreshing beverages. The mint julep has been the traditional beverage for over a century. Let the bourbon flow and have a jug of iced tea on hand for those not imbibing.
Customarily, a mint julep consists of a few gently bruised mint leaves, a teaspoon of sugar and 3 ounces of bourbon poured over crushed ice and served in a polished silver cup. The julep cup instantly frosts, requiring it to be held with a linen napkin or handkerchief (plucked from your seersucker suit, of course).
A mint julep bar breaks with tradition, but it eases drink-making by using simple syrup and letting guests customize their drinks. The flavored sugar syrups (traditional mint plus fruity options like peach and blackberry) can be used to make sweet tea, too. And while a rocks glass won't hold the cold like a metal cup, it will work just fine.
Crushed ice will instantly chill the glass and also appropriately dilute this spirited beverage. An at-home ice crushing machine ranges from $15 to over $200. Alternatively, you can wrap ice cubes up in a towel and whack them into small pieces. Even easier, the fast-food chain Sonic is famous for its delightfully chewable small nuggets of ice, and most locations will happily sell you a bag for around $2. (There are four locations in the Milwaukee area.)
More than 120,000 mint juleps will be served over the two-day celebration at Churchill Downs: 10,000 bottles of Early Times ready-to-serve cocktail (official Kentucky Derby mint julep for 18 years), 60,000 pounds of crushed ice and 1,000 pounds of fresh mint.
Fun fact: Those attending the Derby who are lucky with the ponies can enjoy a $1,000 mint julep: candied rose petals sit atop crushed ice infused with rose water, mint julep syrup and Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select bourbon. It's served in a silver hand-engraved cup with a gold-plated sipping straw.
A limited number are available, and they sell out each year. Proceeds benefit the Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Center, which supports retired racehorses.
Southern food is decadent and delicious, so a Derby party is no place to worry about waistlines. Set out a buffet with make-ahead appetizers, main dishes and desserts. Start off with down-home crostini: small toasts topped with Benedictine (a cream cheese cucumber spread that originally was dyed light green) or pimento cheese and ham.
Hot Brown Casserole (a riff on the famous Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich), feeds a crowd with toasted bread topped with roasted turkey, a rich Mornay sauce, crunchy bacon and diced tomato. The original sandwich was created by the Brown Hotel in Louisville in 1926.
Kentucky desserts are laden with chocolate, nuts and, no surprise here, bourbon. The most famous is Derby Pie, created by the Kern family at the Melrose Inn. It's a rich custard pie filled with toasted walnuts and chocolate in a slightly salty crust.
The Inn is closed, but this special pie can be purchased online from Kern's Kitchen, at the race and from select retailers and restaurants. The recipe is a closely guarded secret, and the moniker is a vigorously defended trademark. (Kern's Kitchen sued Bon Appétit magazine in 1988 for using the name in a cookbook, and won.)
For fun
The race is two minutes long — despite the extensive pre- and post-coverage — so a good party needs some alternative entertainment.
Cross your fingers for warm weather and set up backyard games like horseshoes, croquet or cornhole. Give prizes for the most elegant or over-the-top hat.
Bring the Derby to you by downloading and printing official racing forms and programs from brisnet.com after the field is set on April 30.
Not up for hosting your own event?
Several local establishments are holding their own Kentucky Derby celebrations:
Maxie's, 6732 W. Fairview Ave., is holding its seventh annual Derby Day celebration May 3 (proceeds benefit Wisconsin's Hunger Task Force).
The Iron Horse Hotel, 500 W. Florida St., will put on an annual "Talk Derby to Me" party, complete with bottomless mint juleps and a live bugler playing Kentucky classics.
You may also watch the Derby, sip juleps and wear your best hat at Potowatami Bingo Casino, 1721 W. Canal St.

Is teaching English overseas right for you? How can you find a job? What type of qualifications do you need? What ESL activities and games can you do in the classroom?
Tesol Zone answers these questions and many others. We look at the current ELT situation around the world, and provide ideas for improving your teaching and ESL activities for the classroom.
Note – There are many TEFL acronyms, and most people use the terms: ESL EFL, and TESL TEFL and TESOL interchangeably. I follow the common practice on this site. If you're not familiar with these TESL TEFL explains the various acronyms used for teaching English.
A Beach in Brazil – Are you're interested in Teaching English in Brazil?
There are opportunities for teaching English in all corners of the world. Teaching English overseas is a good way to explore the world, learn new languages, or make some money whilst living abroad. It can also be satisfying, and is of value in itself.
Whatever your reasons for choosing to teach English, knowing more about what this actually involves, knowing about the correct kinds of TEFL certification, knowing what the teaching situation is like in different parts of the world, and how to find good English teaching jobs there, is important if you want your experience to be a positive one.
When you've found a job teaching English overseas, you will need some interesting classroom activities for your students. A good activity can change an average class into a good one. Perhaps you have been teaching English for a number of years already. If so, what are your options now, both inside and outside of teaching?
I've taught English to all ages of students – particularly elementary, high school and university level – in several countries, trained teachers, written EFL coursebooks and teacher's books, and started, developed and sold a chain of language schools. At present I write EFL books and materials, and teach English at a university in Northern Taiwan.
