Scope of Chartered Accountancy
Chartered Accountancy has been one of the most sought after profession in India. The demand for CAs has been growing at a speed of around 10% to 15% over the past 3-4 years. A Chartered Accountant has to go through a rigorous training wherein, both – the theoretical and practical aspects of finance are taught. As more and more opportunities are coming up in the job industry, the need for a Chartered Accountant is also growing giving ample of jobs in the market.
The Scope in India
The CAs work as Finance Managers, Financial Controllers, Financial Advisors or Directors (Finance) and watch over the finances in the day to day management of companies. Their main areas of work include Accountancy, Auditing, Cost accountancy, Taxation, Investigation and Consultancy.
Much of the reputation of CAs is due to the fact that their rigorous training (both theoretical and practical) makes them practically jack of all trades as far as the domain of finance is concerned. In spite of the sea change in global trade systems and practices, the requirement of CAs has remained steady.
The demand for CAs has been growing between 10% to 15% over the past 3 – 4 years. The demand however depends on the state of the economy and there is direct bearing on the demand of CAs when the economy is in downtrend. But the statutory clause for mandatory appointment of CAs provides substantial cushion support to the CA fraternity as compared to other comparable peers.
Advantages of being a Chartered Accountant
• The job is highly paying.
• Chartered Accountancy as a career is highly rewarding and respectable.
• There is a lot of scope of growth in the organization.
• A Chartered Accountant can be a decision-maker in any organization.
• There is an imbalance between the demand and supply of chartered accountants and this means that there are less candidates for the number of vacancies to be filled. This serves as an opportunity for those candidates who are looking forward for joining chartered accountancy as a career.
• A Chartered Accountant is required in all types of industries irrespective of the nature of business because, certain functions like audit, accounts, taxation, statutory compliance, finance, etc. are carried out everywhere.
Disadvantages of Chartered Accountancy as a Career
• Chartered Accountancy can be very stressful as the job involves taking care of a lot of functions in an organization.
• A chartered accountant is expected to be updated of knowledge in the industry otherwise it may lead to stagnation in career.

• Patience
• Leadership & analytical skills
• Good communication
• Integrity
• Visionary
• Professional competence – awareness of technical & professional standards/ developments
• Confidentiality
• Self-motivated
• A good listener

Labor Day Weekend
A little inspiration for everyone on the road this Labor Day weekend:
A little inspiration for everyone on the road this Labor Day weekend:
Trackback URL | Comments RSS Feed
I think Dr. Loomis needs a calender. Labor Day is an international holiday and is celebrated on the first of May not in September.
Isn't May Day a bit Red for you, Dr. Pohl?
No, it is a minor holiday in the former USSR. I lived in Kyrgyzstan for four years. The big holiday which gives legitimacy to the Soviet political past and particularly the most popular Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin is 9 May or Victory Day. No communist has paid attention any real to workers' rights for a long time since it is considered "mere trade union consciousness." Independent trade unions were crushed already under Lenin. Instead the Reds pay attention to the military glory of 9 May 1945 when the Soviet Union managed to conquer half of Europe for nearly half a century.
Oops I meant "No communist has paid any real attention to workers' rights for a long time…"
You do realize that there are and have been socialists outside of the former Soviet bloc (even here at LGM!), aren't you? The holiday itself is a socialist holiday celebrated by socialists and members of the labor movement worldwide. Maybe you should get out a bit more.
Well there was Mao in China, but he was not nearly as successful as the Soviets. The USSR was the most successful socialist experiment ever conducted on a large scale. But, its forced development could only be achieved at great human costs. Something Lenin and his followers were well aware of even in 1917. Most leftists in the world during the 20th Century were in fact pro-Soviet rather than being Trotskyites, Maoists, or other smaller socialist factions. May Day predates the formation of the USSR and it gets scant attention as I said compared to "Victory Day." It is much more fun to celebrate the mass deportation of Estonian and Latvian women and children than non-existent workers's rights.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
It's simply not true that gas prices aree at an all time high
Otto's exact phrasing (which the linked article makes more clear) is "for this holiday" which looking at your graph seems to be technically correct, although just barely. Gasoline cost more in the Summer of 2008, but not on Labor Day. (Later in September the price of gasoline went down quite a lot when the whole global financial crisis thing.)
That's a completely meaningless statistic, of course. Which is fine if you're a small Michigan radio station making a tiny article about some minor bit of trivia, but is at best misleading if you try to make a political point about it.
One of those highly-paid Youth Services caseworker jobs, perhaps.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where,don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
you do know they can write a piece at any time and have it posted at a different time
a de facto government job
…except for everyone who works at a private college.
With certain notable exceptions, college professors work for the government.
Wait, I know: professors at private colleges are honorable makers, while professors who do exactly the same job at a public college are debased moochers.
I personally am more of a de-acidified moocher
the LSD ran out again?
and right before we started our trip
Gosh, why would gasoline prices be so high?

Smooth sale to ronm3xico. I hope he gets his Perpetual Emotion in the mail very soon.
Great transaction with Mixer23 via teetrade.
Great trade with RedSky0 !! Both got the shirts we wanted
Great trade with bluegnu, THANKS!
I just got my Noted shirt, and it made me pretty sad when I realized it was a men's medium instead of a woman's medium. Still not sure who's mistake it was, but Woot told me I'm out of luck and stuck with it. So I figured I would give it a go here.
If anyone wants it, name your price. Post here, or you can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
+1 to ehayicon. Got my shirt in less then a week despite it shipping from Canada to America. Courteous and easy to deal with, was willing to ship it even before I had paid. Overall pleasure to work with for anyone looking to do business with him.
As I stated in previous feedback, jsunell (Trex on teetrade.org) is the standard by which all other traders and transactions are measured.
Simply the best, you can trust him to make an honest trade, to get back with you quickly, and fair to make the best deal for both!
Just made my third successful trade with Jestik (*Merovingian on TeeTrade).
Fast trader, great communication, and a very nice guy to work with. He goes the extra mile to deliver you your goods, and they are exactly as advertised. I'd trade with him again any day.
Nominate is a great individual to trade with. Very trustworthy, honest, and able to respond quickly to messages. Very fast to pay and easy to deal with.
We've done business several times, and I'd be happy to do so again anytime
Just got my fab shirts from Jestik! Our 2nd transaction, and flawless!
He's great!
Also wanted to add my appreciation for buying/trading with Jestik. He's great.
Just finished a great transaction with Ivyness. Shirt was perfect, with speedy delivery!!
Got Yay! My Favorite from jsunell aka Trex! Looked great, and here in a flash!
Just got a shirt from ScarFan. Quick delivery and perfect shirt.

Well then. Hoorah for that!
I never check this thread, really, so I'm shocked I even caught this, but thank you. I generally consider myself to be the worse end of the trade deal, so rest assured that if I'm silent, but a trade partner praises me, they're even better to trade with
Completed an awesome transaction with mishy! Thanks to her, I was able to get a shirt I've been wanting for a long time.
Had a great trade with Bootricia. She is a very nice wooter and I hope to have another opportunity to do future trading with her.
The shirt came in great shape and was delivered FAST.
Thanks again Bootricia...
Excellent trade with paxetaurora via teetrade. Many thanks!
HAH! Well here I am on our 300th post, just wanted to let everyone know I updated the list again, also I'm not sure if anyone actually uses the list BUT if you do or want to, the easiest way to do it is to use firefox's find text and just type in whoevers name you're looking for Hope everybody's doing well!
I have to report an unsuccessful trade with leglez. I sent my shirt as promised and over a month later I haven't gotten my shirt from him. He has also stopped replying to my messages.
On a positive note I did have an excellent trade with Ivyness!! Thanks!
Successful trade with Jestik, easy and quick trade. Terrific service.
jkho1190 wrote:Successful trade with Jestik, easy and quick trade. Terrific service.
and the same goes for jkho1190 ! Great, fast, and easy.

Just completed a successful teetrade transaction with Kazi.
I also had a very good trade with flamtastic via teetrade.
Just received a great shirt from AGrant311 in trade for a K4 shirt I sent to her for the Help clothe Gunther project. I wasn't even asking for a shirt in return! +1 Thanks AGrant311!!
I would like to add my vote of two thumbs up for trading with Jestik. He was very quick and super pleasant to work with! Would definitely work with him again!
Also had a good trading experience with AlySedai! She always responded to messages quickly and shirt arrived very fast! I would trade with her again!

Amphoe Bang Khla, Chachoengsao
The monument and shrine were built to commemorate King Taksin the Great, known for his victory in a battle with Burmese troops at the mouth of the Cholo River. The location celebrates the king and his troops' journey through Chachoengsao. It is said a pagoda once stood in the same spot, similarly to commemorate King Taksin the Great, but in 1941, it inexplicably fell to ruin. A new shrine was eventually erected in 1988.
The shrine and memorial are open for public viewing 24 hours a day, every day.

It has been over ten years since the group introduced a mental healthcare program. During this period, our mental healthcare system has advanced through support activities such as counseling, line care training, support for leaves of absence and returning to work, and stress checks using a Web system.
In FY2015, we provided line care training for all supervisors for acquisition of basic knowledge on mental health and harassment prevention. The same training was provided to all managers in the preceding year.
As part of our staff care program, industrial healthcare personnel such as counselors, nurses and public health nurses are stationed on site to detect signs that employees are not well as soon as possible through detailed counseling, and properly support them. In addition, collaborating psychiatrists, industrial physicians, and clinical psychotherapists are invited to give lectures on mental health at study meetings of the industrial healthcare staff. This is expected to enrich our healthcare system further.
The incidence ratio of mental health problems was 0.45% in FY2015 (decrease by 0.4% from the preceding year), and the number of days of missed work also decreased. This is probably because the staff collaborated with departments to help employees on leave return to work and stay healthy after returning to work.
We will continue to promote mental healthcare activities so that all employees can work pleasantly in good health.
Efforts and Status
Creation of" Safe workplace" culture
In order to create "Safe workplace" culture, the Group mainly carried out the following activities in FY2013 to FY2015. As a result, employee learned the basics of safety and are now always aware of health and safety.
- All business sites promoted the "declaration of five safety actions that protect oneself" that ensures that each employee is aware of safety to prevent unsafe behaviors, and carried out activities to make the idea known to all.
- We redesigned the safety training program and gave more practical training to supervisors who play a key role in health and safety activities at workplaces. The training improved workplace supervisors' skills.
- We introduced a method of boosting employee's safety awareness (pointing and calling), and carried out practical safety promotion activities to decrease human errors.
- We carried out training using a health and safety training textbook (in each local language) common to all Group companies at all Group sites worldwide. This improved employees' sensitivity to danger and knowledge of safety measures.
Raising the activity quality to the world's standard level
In order to upgrade our machine safety promotion activities to the world's standard level, we mainly carried out the activities shown below in FY2013 to FY2015. As a result, machine safety experts' advice and assessments improved machine safety across the Group, reducing occupational accident risks.
- We trained machine safety exper ts (qualified safety assessors and sub-safety assessors) to strengthen the operational structure that promotes machine safety. In addition, we gave machine safety training to about 200 machine designers.
- We surveyed the trends of regulations and standards related to machine safety worldwide and reflected the results in our Machine Safety Standards to improve the safety level.
- Carrying out machine safety assessment from the viewpoint of machine safety experts improved the accuracy of assessment based on the Machine Safety Standards.
Standardization of procedures for safe work
In order to standardize safe work, we mainly carried out the activities shown below in FY2013 to FY2015. As a result, work procedures including irregular work have become safer, reducing occupational accident risks.
- Health and safety staff investigated sources of risks in secondary tasks (such as preparation, setup, and cleanup) to confirm the effectiveness of risk measures.
- Lockout and tag out procedures were introduced for high-risk tasks to enhance measures for avoiding risks while performing dangerous tasks.
- By introducing a rule for the implementation of ergonomics measures (reducing burden on the human body), we assessed tasks that put excessive burden on the human body and implemented the measures employees' sensitivity to danger and knowledge of safety measures.
Minimization of toxicity and danger of chemical substances
In order to minimize the toxicity and danger of chemical substances, we mainly carried out the activities shown below in FY2013 to FY2015. As a result, operations handling chemical substances have become safer, reducing occupational accident risks.
- We implemented visualization of the toxicity and danger of chemical substances by putting toxicity and danger indications on chemical substance containers, and establishing and introducing a unified rule for better indications such as the contents of pipes.
- We assessed fire and explosion risks due to electrostatic discharge in electric equipment at places where large amounts of chemical substances are used or stored and implemented preventive measures based on the results.
- We have specified quick response procedures for accidents such as chemical substances getting splashed on human bodies. Eye washers and showers have been installed at relevant places.
- The method of training supervisors in chemical substance-handling workplaces was reviewed. They were reminded of their roles and responsibilities, and improved their management skills.
Strengthening safety check system
In order to strengthen our safety check system, we mainly carried out the activities shown below in FY2013 through FY2015. As a result, our Occupational Health and Safety Inspection (Health and Safety patrol) improved, problems were visualized, and implementation of measures became much quicker.
- We held seminars to learn skills for Occupational Health and Safety Inspections. Strictly applying the Genba, Genjitsu, Genbutsu (actual place, actual situation, and actual product) principle helped participants improve their patrol skills.
- An audit team consisting of health and safety experts and specialist engineers visited each site to check the safety status, and gave instructions for improvement from experts' objective viewpoints.
- Information on places evaluated as excellent was shared among related business sites, and the overall level of activity was upgraded.
①Maintaining low incidence ratio for mental health problems
It has been over ten years since the group introduced a mental healthcare program. During this period, our mental healthcare system has advanced through support activities such as counseling, line care training, support for leaves of absence and returning to work, and stress checks using a Web system.
Mental Healthcare System
G1 : Incidence Rate
*The data were corrected after reviewing the calculation method.
②Keeping down abnormal checkup findings
In TAIYO YUDEN GROUP, industrial physicians, nurses, and public health nurses provide health guidance to help each employee improve their ability to care for their health. So far, we have provided three types of guidance: (1) exercise guidance, (2) health guidance, and (3) nutritional guidance.
To decrease lifestyle-related diseases, we have established and are running a health improvement program for those who have been identified as in need of health guidance from the results of regular health checkups.
We focused on visceral fat in FY2015, which is one of the main causes of metabolic syndrome (a risky state with multiple risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia, in addition to visceral fat obesity). To visualize problems in each employee's lifestyle, we held a "Meeting for measuring lifestyle using visceral fat" (an outside
support service).
At this meeting, accumulated visceral fat and lifestyles prone to storing visceral fat were visualized. Each participant received individually tailored advice for a lifestyle with a right amount of visceral fat. This event encouraged them to re-examine their lifestyles.
We will continue to promote healthcare activities so that our employees can work in good health.

Rhythm Lessons Show The Link Between Music And Math
Educators can use music lessons that show students how to learn about rhythm in a fun and exciting way.
By Barbara Moseley
Most teachers know that music and math are related, but how do we introduce this concept to young students. It doesn't need to be a dry topic. You can make it an interesting experience, like the thrill you feel riding down the road, with the top of your car down, and the tunes blasting. Of course, you may get a few eye rolls when you play music, and ask your students, "Can you believe you are listening to math?". But don't be discouraged.
Musical structure creates pleasure for the listener. It is off-putting when a musician misses a beat, or does not end on the note that resolves the song. We rarely hear this blatant ignorance of structure, so when we hear it, even if we don't know what it's called, we cringe. In fact, this is the perfect way to demonstrate what seems so obvious to our ears. If you can bring a musician into the classroom to demonstrate these concepts, students will enjoy picking out the mistakes, and discussing how uncomfortable it makes them feel.
Music scholars have applied set theory, abstract algebra, number theory, physics, the Golden Ratio, the Fibonacci Sequence, and many other ideas, to understanding and analyzing scales and compositions and frequency. Must we go this far? Yes, if you enjoy that sort of thing. But to most, as in nature, art, and music, tapping in to perfection is intuitive to the heart and soul, with no need for further proof.
So, getting back to how to relate this to our students, start with the basics. Start out with a song they enjoy that has a basic 4/4 beat, like "London Bridge". Then, listen to some examples, and see if they can count it out. If this goes well, try clapping only on the first beat, then the second, third and fourth. Did you notice that the beat of one and three are easier to feel versus two and four? Why? Start your research. The answer may boggle your mind, and it goes on and on. By delving into the mystery of math and music through the lesson plans that follow you can get your students to start asking questions, and possibly doing their own research.
Music Lesson Plans:
Music & Emotions Unit: This lesson has students listen to classical music, and create artwork based on what the music made them feel.
I Am Golden:This lesson introduces patterns, the Fibonacci Sequence, and the Golden Ratio. It also tells students the many places these occur.
Jazz and Math: The Fibonacci Keyboard:This lesson will explore various relationships between music and the Fibonacci Sequence.
Teaching Fractions & Ratios:This lesson uses M&M candy to demonstrate fractions.
Jazz and Math: The Beat Goes On: This lesson will have students collect data through listening to music, using ratios, and demonstrating an understanding of rhythm and tempo.

Understanding your priorities
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on Jul 5, 2012
Earlier this week, Sen. Lois Wolk roundly criticized the $11.2 billion water bond as the "zombie bond" that just will not die. Despite her criticism, she voted to with the majority to delay the bond until 2014 so it would not compete with Gov. Jerry Brown's initiative to raise income taxes on high earners and the sales tax by one-quarter cent.
Unfortunately, that enthusiasm to get spending measures off the ballot doesn't appear to extend to the horrifically expensive high-speed rail project that also is supposed to be acted on before the recess. The governor continues to push this $69 billion project, despite having no clue where nearly $60 billion of the funding is going to come from.
It is an amazing case of playing roulette with the taxpayers' money in a way that no business or rational individual would.
Changing gears—one of Americans' greatest qualities is their generosity and their willingness to help others—with time, talent or cash.
Check out the response at the Alameda County Fair to the request to volunteer to pack emergency meals through Kids Against Hunger. The all-volunteer group, which normally ships meals to Third World countries struggling with food issues, instead packed emergency provisions that will be stored in a container on the fairgrounds.
The group had more than 1,500 signups for the volunteer day last Wednesday and ended up packing 130,650 meals that are stored in a container on the fairgrounds. These will be rotated after 18 months and sent to Haiti or the Philippines.
What's particularly impressive about this Pleasanton-based group is that it is entirely run by volunteers as a satellite site of the national group. The national group was founded in 1999 and now has 98 sites across the country where volunteers pack the custom-designed casseroles for shipment around the United States and the world.

"The governor continues to push this $69 billion project, despite having no clue where nearly $60 billion of the funding is going to come from."
Of course he is. This is his legacy; his giveaway to the unions that supported his election effort. It's payback time for his masters feeding at the trough iof the remaining taxpayers in California.
Aside from his obvious ploy to 'create jobs' in the state (not to mention all the foreign mateerials that will be used for this project, along with illegal laborers), there's that nagging issue about a train to nowhere with no passengers to ride it.
We should start referring to this project as the 'ghost train'. If the train's horn blows throughout it's trip through the deserted central valley, will it make a noise, if no one is there to hear it?

Greetings, muchachos! It is I, Casanova Frankenstein!
I am here once again to sing the praises of Tim Hunt's latest post, very appropriately entitled "Understanding your priorities." Naturally, Tim stays focused like a laser beam on my priorities, which are the actions of Sen. Lois Wolk, high-speed rail, and sending meals to Haiti or the Philippines.
How is it that Tim understands my priorities so well? Is it simply because these are the issues that dominate both our national and local discourse? Or is he, perhaps, somehow stealing my thoughts and posting them under his own name? He could even be a spy! Look closely--he does have Betty Davis eyes, doesn't he? Hmm...
One thing is for sure, these are the burning issues that the lamestream media choose to ignore. However, the truthiest of Mr. Hunt's claims must be the following: "It is an amazing case of playing roulette with the taxpayers' money in a way that no business...would." Truthier words were never spoken! Businesses, as we know from Ayn Rand, are the moral compass of American exceptionalism, and I challenge any of you liberals to name one--JUST ONE BUSINESS--that would play roulette with taxpayers' money. Not Russian roulette, though--I mean the American kind.
So thank you, Tim, for having the courage to speak the Truth yet again!
Adios for ahora, hormigas!

First day of Utah powder, awesome session!

Thanks for the snow day photos. I've also ordered a white WRX - what type of tint did you install? Looks good!
Got my 2011 White Limited Hatch (the first one in Colorado i'm told) on Wednesday morning. Already took it on a road trip and broke it in 1100 miles. Don't worry I varied speed and changed gears etc .
I got mine with the short throw shifter, all weather mats, hatch mat and the dealer even gave me 60% off snow tires because of how long I had to wait. I am absolutely in love with this scooby!
I am also getting 22-25mpg though I haven't really gotten on it yet. That should change tonight. I will post pictures in the next couple days. For those still waiting don't fret, it is completely worth the wait.
Peace, Love, Unity.
What tires do you have on that nice lookin snow mobile of yours?
In the market for mountain tires that can take 600 miles a week on the highway in the winters.....
Help from anyone would be a massive help.
Looks nice! You need to update your Sig now though. I'm expecting mud flaps from the wife for Christmas so I like seeing pics of em.
Steve // 2010 Cadillac CTS-V // 2011 WRX hatchback (SOLD)
I finally got my port date! December 10th! Wooo! Dealer says I should have it a few days after that. I still feel like it took way too long ( over 11 weeks ) but at this point I'm happy to be seeing it. All I know is its going right from the dealer to a shop to have winter tires put on it. It's down right cold here in Connecticut now so I am not going to mess around on those summer stocks for too long.

Sweet man!
When was your order date? 11 weeks seems crazy. I am on week 3 and I'm going nuts lol.
I don't really understand why there is so much of a wait. I saw somewhere that there were only like 3,400 Imprezas sold in November. Are they really not able to produce the amount of vehicles that wouldn't make a person wait almost 4 months?

Hellooo '11 REX
I made the deal with the dealership on Sept 21st. It was another couple weeks after that I got confirmation that my order had been accepted by the Subaru system. I had talked to the deal and Subaru of America and neither could give me an answer as to why there was such a lag between order date and order confirmation date. We are guessing that the system was just bogged down with orders and picked them up as they went along. Who knows.
Hope your wait isn't as long as mine. Good luck!

Should I Trust This Cosmetic Surgeon in India?

He resides in India (Jalandhar), and I found his before and after results to be impressive.. Having an Indian nose means that it's better go to go an Indian plastic surgeon because they have more experience with dealing with noses like mine. It says that he is board certified.

Jamal Crawford, the Clippers super-sub guard, was not picked as a reserve for the NBA All-Star game in Houston Feb. 17. NBA head coaches selected 14 reserves for the East and West teams. Crawford, in his 13th NBA season, has never made an All-Star team but was thought to have a good chance to be selected. Instead, the All-Star reserves named Thursday to the Western Conference team are: Tim Duncan and Tony Parker (from San Antonio); Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City), James Harden (Houston), Zach Randolph (Memphis), LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland) and David Lee (Golden State). This is Duncans 14th All-Star team. Its the first selection for Harden. The reserves for the Eastern Conference team are: Chris Bosh (Miami), Tyson Chandler (New York), Joakim Noah (Chicago), Paul George (Indiana), Luol Deng (Chicago), Jrue Holiday (Philadelphia) and Kyrie Irving (Cleveland). This is the first All-Star team for Chandler, Noah, George, Holiday and Irving. -Barry Stavro

Live From New York — Process Excellence For Financial Services
Posted by Connie Moore on April 17, 2012
Today I've had the opportunity to speak at and attend a conference about Business Process Management for financial services.
Here's what I've learned so far:
- Process practitioners and BPM practitioners are still discovering each other. Although these two types of people are passionate about improving and transforming processes, they invariably come from different backgrounds and practices. Process practitioners typically have Six Sigma black belts and/or practice Lean, and they usually report into business operations or some C-suite business executive. Often, process practitioners do not have any experience in, knowledge about, and interest in BPM software. Conversely, many BPM practitioners work in IT, may report to a director of BPM or the CIO, and have found BPM software to be a powerful way to "modernize" IT and automate improved processes. These two kinds of people desperately need to meet each other, join forces and learn from one another, and ultimately end up in a BPM Center of Excellence together. Usually process practitioners get nervous whenever software creeps into the discussion, but this conference is different. It's great to see both types of practitioners sharing experiences and figuring out how to work together in the future.
- Interest in dynamic case management is high, but questions abound. Dynamic case management (DCM) is a powerful use case for BPM software and is raising the bar significantly for all BPM suite vendors. Dynamic case management allows an automated process to change in flight depending upon the situation and business rules. Many attendees have come to me and expressed both keen interest and some concerns. One attendee said that business managers at his firm are deeply concerned about the need to control the process and manage what their people do — and they are fearful of DCM. My response to him was that he should describe the controls that are built into DCM — including controls over who can change what. We believe DCM needs four things: 1) dynamic binding of process fragments, with a parent process instance defined; 2) a repository for storing documents; 3) a way to handle individual variation (task reassignment); and, 4) a way to selectively restrict changes (balancing control with worker flexibility). Another attendee told me that she sells DCM to the business by talking about all the exceptions they are able to handle in an un-automated process and then tells them all that flexibility will be added to the BPMS-powered process. In other words, the BPM software will not be a straightjacket.
- Business process practitioners must drop the jargon. During a panel discussion, several attendees raised how to talk about BPM with business people. Most of the people asking this question were in the IT organization. The answer is: Drop the process talk; don't show your process maps, but instead talk in business terms. My advice is 1) talk about financial results to the C-suite and the board — they do not care about the software, only the outcomes; 2) discuss business outcomes, business capabilities, and business services when talking with business managers and execs — the target operating model is your friend; and 3) describe and validate procedures and checklists when talking with business workers about how the process works — drop the process jargon and use their terms.
Next week I'm attending Process Excellence Europe in London, so I'm looking forward to more insights from the event. Here are some details about what's planned:

Danielle Smith, Alberta's new Opposition Leader, believes two factors kept her upstart Wildrose Party from forming Alberta's next government -- controversial comments by two of her candidates and strategic voting.
As the four-week provincial election campaign drew to a close, Wildrose candidates Allan Hunsperger and Ron Leech, both pastors, caused a stir with statements that critics called intolerant. Mr. Leech told a radio station he had an advantage in his Calgary riding because he is white. Edmonton's Mr. Hunsperger, in a year-old blog posting, said gays will spend eternity in a "lake of fire, hell."
Ms. Smith admits this hurt her party.
"We took some hits in the last week of the campaign that caused people to question whether or not we were ready to form government," she said after her concession speech in High River, a city south of Calgary. "They decided we weren't. They decided that we needed a little bit more time."
While only two candidates were involved, the rookie leader said their words hindered the rest of Wildrose's slate.
"There were a couple of comments from candidates that caused people to pause and worry about what our other candidates might be like."
Alison Redford, the Progressive Conservative Leader, ended up with a majority government by employing the same strategy she used during the PC leadership battle, Ms. Smith said.
"Ms. Redford won her [PC]leadership on the basis of getting Liberal and NDP supporters to vote for her at the leadership, and clearly she did the same thing tonight," Ms. Smith said. "You just have to look at the percentage of the vote for the Liberals and the (New Democrats) to see it was a successful strategy."
Wildrose is supported by conservative Albertans who feel the PC Party has moved too far to the centre. Wildrose did well in rural Alberta and Ms. Smith said her first priority as Leader of the Opposition will be rural issues.
"I think with the candidates we've elected, the rural voice is going to be heard loud and clear in the legislature," she said as supporters mingled at Wildrose's election night headquarters.
She's particularly concerned about property rights, arguing the PCs' land bills have hurt rural residents.
"Landowners feel like their rights are under threat. They feel like the value of their property is under threat by government regulation. So I look at this as a mandate for us to press forward and try to get the government to address the problems with those bills."
Earlier, she put a brave face on the fact she is headed to the legislature, but not for the job she wanted.
"Today I stand at the helm of the Official Opposition," she told supporters in High River, after her upstart Wildrose Party lost the election.
"Am I surprised? Yeah," she said. "Am I disappointed? Yeah. Am I discouraged? Not a chance."
While Ms. Smith hopes Wildrose will rally in the next round, this election highlights the power of the PCs.
"It says the PC brand is maybe the strongest brand in Canadian political history," said Rod Love, who was chief of staff for former conservative premier Ralph Klein. "It can take a ton of hits and body shots, and after 41 years, Albertans still respond to the brand."
Indeed, 18 prominent Calgarians – ranging from business leaders to arts advocates – threw their support behind Ms. Redford Friday. In an open letter, they cautioned voters against supporting an untested party.
Ms. Smith said she's ready for hew her job, even if it is a consolation prize.
"I certainly look forward to debating with her in the legislature," Ms. Smith said of Ms. Redford. "We will work hard to hold this government to account on behalf of all Albertans."

Boy, that helped didn't it? I will do a search in this section to find out some previous posts about getting started in reloading.
The reason I answered depends on all three questions is because the answers to these questions depends on how much you want to spend up front, how fast you want to turn out ammo, or how much your time is worth, and if you are particular about what kinds of components you decided to use.

We praise God for the wonderful response of people stepping up to take on additional responsibilities during my illness and recuperation. The first one to volunteer to be a point man was someone who had never before been to the street with us. That took some guts!
We still need to fill two more spots: December 2nd and December 9th.
The point man does not have to prepare all of the food. He or she needs to try to coordinate to make sure the food and volunteers are going to be there. Volunteers are to check this blog for contact information and the list of needs and coordinate with the point man for that night.
The basic list of what is needed for each night is:
- 20 to 25 quarts of hearty soup (We have turkeys to use for this.)
- a gross of hard-boiled eggs
- a large kettle of pasta with tomato and meat sauce (We have pasta and tomato sauce)
- 8 gallons of drink, either iced tea or hot chocolate (or some of each)
- at least 300 hot/cold paper cups (We do not use styrofoam. We are just blocks from a river that leads directly to the ocean)
- a large bottle of Franks' Red Hot sauce
- fruit, anything but apples. People don't have good teeth. We can generally only give away one bag of apples.
- 100s of sandwiches. These should be made the way you like them (only no mayonaisse or eggs) and packed in sandwich baggies, then stacked back into the bread loaf bags. Please write with heavy marker on the bag what kind of sandwiches they are.
- Pastries or some kind of goodies
- ladle
- forks, spoons, napkins
- music and Altoids for the trip
We have funds to pay for some of these things. It is a matter of people actually gathering them and getting them to 1801 Vine St. at 8pm on Thursday night.
The point man will be respected as the person in charge on site to provide for order and security while serving and to make sure the park is cleaned up before leaving.
On December 2nd, there is the added dimension of our observance of St. Nicholas Day on the street. We try to give each one we serve 3 one dollar coins in the Jesus' Name to honor of St. Nicholas. This is great fun, and I will be so sorry to miss that this year. It is good if everyone on the team serving that night reviews the story of St. Nicholas, so they are prepared to share it with any who ask.

Come to Munn Park on Saturday, March 12, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. for the 9th Annual Spring Obsession, Garden and Art Festival. Enjoy a Free family day of activities while exploring the many flowers and plants for sale, attend garden presentations, purchase art for the patio and listen to live music from the jazz band Free Time.
After the unusually cold winter we have experienced, it is time to stock up on all your spring plant needs including: flowering plants for house and garden, outdoor plants for your landscaping, and garden art and accessories to spice up your lawn or patio.
Learn about jazzing up your yard from landscaping professionals as part of the garden presentations. There will also be a presentation on rain barrels and water conservation with rain barrels available for purchase.
Delight in hard to find exotics, orchids, Florida native plants, roses, herbs, gingers, and more as you stroll through Munn Park to the sounds of Free Time. Free Time will play an eclectic and entertaining blend of musical styles ranging from Al Jarreau and Stevie Wonder to Bob Marley, Miles Davis, Grover Washington, Duke Ellington and BB King.
Spring Obsession is a non-profit event with this year's proceeds going toward new bike racks for downtown that are functional and aesthetic so they look like pieces of art.
In conjunction with Spring Obsession the City of Lakeland, Polk County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District will host a rain barrel sale in the Bay Street Parking lot at 315 N. Tennessee. These ergonomic 55 gallon rain barrels are manufactured with the maximum recyclable content and they will be on sale for $60. The barrels include insect resistant stainless steel filter and spigot.
The City of Lakeland and the Lakeland Fire Department are very proud to announce that as of Monday, January 31, 2011 the Lakeland Fire Department has expanded its Advanced Life Support (ALS) non-transport program to cover all areas within the City of Lakeland. Prior to implementing this change, only half of the Lakeland fire stations had the capability of providing ALS service.
ALS can best be described as a higher level of emergency medical care, usually provided by emergency medical technicians or paramedics. Typically ALS includes invasive techniques such as IV therapy, intubation, and life saving drug administration.
"We are very excited about this change and are certain that it's a huge benefit to all of our citizens," stated Assistant Chief Doug Riley. "Implementing these changes will allow us to reduce the amount of time it takes to put certified paramedics on the scene of an emergency medical call. The ability to deliver ALS care quickly contributes to our commitment to provide the highest level of service."
Through a partnership with Polk County Emergency Medical Services (PCEMS) and under the medical direction of Greg White, M.D., the Lakeland Fire Department now has trained paramedics at all but one fire station and these paramedics have the capability to provide the highest quality emergency medical care. The only station that is not designated as an ALS station is the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport substation that houses the specialized Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting unit.
For more information regarding the Lakeland Fire Department, please visit http://www.lakelandgov.net/lfd/home.html.
The City of Lakeland's Kelly Recreation Complex will be opening their doors on February 19TH from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for their 2nd annual Open House.
The public is invited to stop by and celebrate all that the Parks & Recreation Department has to offer through various class demonstrations, kid's activities, giveaways, and tours of the facility. Instructors of classes from art to fitness will be onsite to answer questions. Visitors can purchase a "Big Deal" pass, only available at the Open House, for $60. The "Big Deal" pass allows 40 visits to the weight room, cardio room, and open gym activities.
Fit Niche will be on hand to measure stride and gait to help improve running or walking performance. Camp Fire and Picasso's Cup will be onsite doing crafts and other fun activities with kids. There will also be bounce houses and games on the tennis courts for the younger set.
The Parks Department will also be there with some of their more interesting vehicles so our customers can learn about other important Parks services. Additionally, through donations from local businesses, there will be drawings for prizes. Call the Kelly Recreation Complex for more information or class demonstration schedule (863) 834-3284.

Chancellor, Like Her Boss, Heading to Europe for Vacation
Hours after City Hall announced that Mayor Bill de Blasio and his family will be vacationing in Italy this summer, the Department of Education said Chancellor Carmen Fariña also will be heading across the Atlantic to visit Spain. Both leaders will depart on July 18; de Blasio will return on July 27 and Fariña on August 1.
Fariña's family is from Galica, and she often visits during the summer with her grandchildren, who are all under the age of 10. Department of Education spokeswoman Devora Kaye said this year will be no exception.
"The chancellor, along with her husband, one of her daughters and three grandchildren, will visit her hometown of Sada in Galicia," she said, adding that Senior Deputy Chancellor Dorita Gibson will supervise the school system in Fariña's absence. The chancellor will return in the event of an emergency.
"The Chancellor will be in daily contact with senior department officials and closely monitoring developments throughout the department and our schools." Kaye continued. "The trip is particularly meaningful for Chancellor Fariña, as her parents immigrated from Galicia and she met her husband through New York City's Galician community. She looks forward to bringing her grandchildren to her family's ancestral homeland and sharing its culture and traditions with them."
The chancellor will also meet with Spanish education officials to talk about some of her initiatives in New York. But Sada is much, much smaller than New York City. It's entire population is less than 15,000.
With Fariña in Northern Spain and de Blasio in Italy, just across the Mediterranean, the two leaders will be in the same time zone. When asked about the possibilities for Skype time during afternoon siestas, City Hall spokesman Wiley Norvell only said: "they will continue to be in contact."

Maxis clout delaying telecom deal probe: CBI to SC
The CBI told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that its investigation into the Aircel-Maxis deal, allegedly involving former Union minister Dayanidhi Maran, was getting delayed due to the political clout of Malaysian business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan.delhi Updated: Nov 08, 2012 01:53 IST
The CBI told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that its investigation into the Aircel-Maxis deal, allegedly involving former Union minister Dayanidhi Maran, was getting delayed due to the political clout of Malaysian business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan.
Maran was accused of "forcing" Chennai-based telecom promoter C Sivasankaran to sell stake in Aircel to the c owned by Kuala Lumpur-based Krishnan, in 2006. "The gentleman in Malaysia, who is involved in the case, is powerful economically as well as politically," CBI counsel and senior advocate KK Venugopal told the court, adding that the Indian part of the probe was complete.
Venugopal said the Malaysian government had turned down the CBI's request to share details of the business tycoon's financial transactions. He made this statement while presenting the CBI's fresh status report on the Aircel-Maxis deal.
After perusing the report, a special bench of Justice GS Singhvi and Justice KS Radhakrishnan said the investigations indicate the presence of an illegal nexus.
Stating that it would give directions to the Indian High Commission in Malaysia if the CBI continued to face any more problems in this regard, the bench said it was keen on seeing the probe reach a logical conclusion as soon as possible. The court wants the day-to-day hearing to start from January.
Maran allegedly kept vital licences and clearances of Aircel pending till Sivasankaran agreed to sell his firm to Maxis. The CBI is also checking if Maxis had then invested R500 crore in Sun Direct TV, owned by Maran's brother Kalanidhi, as a quid pro quo.
In another case, the SC took strong exception to the UP government initiating action against a senior enforcement directorate officer, Rajeshwar Singh, tasked with probing the 2G scam. The court then stayed the proceedings against him.
The SC had initiated contempt proceedings against Sahara chief Subrata Roy for allegedly interfering with the investigation. The bench also said Singh required protection.
Referring to the action taken by the UP government, it said the charges against Singh were made to prevent him from conducting the probe fearlessly.

Wow that actually looks like a well used Medusa with a lot of finish wear... or is that an illusion?
Most owners of these things keep them in velvet lined cradles
i was wondering what happened to those things. I wanted one when i first saw it like 15 years ago. now that I have a little cash to spend, I never see them. Sad to hear they are rare and people don't shoot them, that means if i do run into one it'll probably be way too much.
When I got it, the guy really didnt know what it was. It was just a funny looking .38 to him.
I'm afraid I don't understand... how can it chamber rounds that are that different?
And if it worked, why didn't other manufacturers pick this idea up and run with it?
Curator, the Privett Museum for Unloved & Wayward Guns. Est. 2006.
According to that article, Colt toyed with the idea, but it ultimately died due to political pressure. If memory serves, it didn't exactly shoot all of those rounds accurately, but they all worked fine mechanically.
Rimmed rounds fit just like they do in any other revolver, and theres a little "finger" that holds the rimless ones.
Everything ive shot, has been pretty accurate.. I do have a problem with American made 9mm's fitting, Foreign 9mm fits good though... American made 9mm seems to have more of a taper at the base..
Awesome revolver, too bad they stopped making them.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides..From "Commonplace Book" by Thomas Jefferson.
I've read reports that 357 and 38+p may damage the cylinder mechanism, and that 380s are not held reliably. There's one on Gunbroker for $2800...Navy Seal model(?). But, most I've seen are between $500 and $900.
The Confederate States: Fighting terrorism since 1861.
There's a guy on YouTube that shoots .32 ACP in his, but that makes absolutely no sense to me.
In Gary Reeders version of it called the skorpion, that was the case, people were ignoring his warnings not to shoot the +p and .357 rounds..
Actually you can shoot the .32 ACP, it just wont be as accurate...
From the Inventor himself:In a pinch you can shoot .351 SL, 30 carbine, 32, 32 Mag, and even 22 Jet. I wish Winchester had continued the 9mm WinMag. It was super hot and accurate. Don't be afraid to put any of the recommended rounds through it. We had these cylinders proof tested @ 86,000 psi and yield strength is about 220,000 psi. The Navy Seals shoot them under water. Do not try this with a Colt, Smith, Korth, Ruger, Glock, or any other current production firearm. IT WILL BLOW UP!
Heres the Colt Survivor:
Given the differnces in case body diameter amongst those rounds, the charge holes are necessarily grossly over-sized for many of them. I can just imagine what the fired cases would look like.
Absent comrades (sound of breaking glass)
Nope, just one, but thanks for the compliment.
Trez, I'm still looking for an owner's manual.

But to me, the reason they didn't sell like hotcakes is simply that when you take that long list of cartridges and cross off the ones most wil never see outside of a gunshow or mail order catalog, you are left with, what? .380 maybe, 9mm Luger, .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Except that you may not, apparently, want to shoot .357 Magnum in it, either. Seems a better idea to have a .45ACP and a .44 Mag, and stock up on lots of ammo for those zombies.
Good point: the gun geeks who designed it got all excited and listed every single 9mm ever made, when joe gunshooter will likely never see 4/5 of those rounds, much less heard of them.
Poorly marketed, very original product.
Mr. JWP...
I found your post the other day and just had to join this forum to tell you how much I appreciate your Medusa. I have been looking to get my hands on one for the last 10 years. Last week, I stumbled onto one in a Houston gun shop I visit every now and then. There it was..... sitting in the display case. Just like the mythology, I froze in my tracks as soon as I saw it. I knew immediately what is was, but could not believe my eyes. I had to look at the description card to bring me back to reality. It appears to be mint condition. Still has white grease in some of the crevasses.
To make it even better, it appears that I have purchased it from the very technician that built it. Came with a signed letter from your past CEO, (Roger) on company letterhead, transferring that serial number to that technician. This has been almost too good to be true. But, I do have the gun in my hands, so I know that much is real.
If you ever have the time or inclination, I would cherish an interview with you on your astonishing creation. While I have more expensive guns in my collection, your Medusa is now the "Centerpiece". It is far and away the most rare and legendary of everything I own. I feel like I can now die a truly happy gun nut. The only thing left that could top that……. is talking with you personally.
My honor to own one of your creations.
They use one in the net force books if anyone reads those. Used to be a tom clancy series but he passed it to other authors a few books ago and changed many of the characters. I thought the description was artistic license, seems they had it pretty close though.
Different bullet diameters .355 to .361, and case lengths would hurt accuracy and make reloads a problem but I guess the fiction writers didn't care about that.

Absent comrades (sound of breaking glass)
My brother and i have to the best of our research manufactured and duplicated most rounds on the list and fired them in our 2 model 47s. Thank you John Taffin for data on the 9 win mag which Winchester was at a loss to provide, Use and load from ' Cartridges of the World' at your own risk.
First do not fire 380 acp. will it fire? yes but shreds cases. almost all other case are reloadable. For some odd reason 9x23 would fire and function in one but not the other model 47 and a new cylinder did not change this.
Second- the 38 S&W is a .360 bullet so is not in the same class as the .355 to 357 rounds listed. Will not fit the gun.
Every round tested fired accurately. The most accurate 9mm Lugar I have ever seen.
Extraction of rimless cases was hmmm sometimes troublesome and we usual use a dowel on those. Firing was flawless with all rounds but the 380 and 9x23 as mentioned above.
I also like the 327 fed mag which shoots most 32's including the 32 ACP.
The Germans have a statement that tools that do many things rarely do any of them well. In these 2 cases they would be wrong.

- Gotta "go" - frequent urination, especially at night, plus a constant urge to go
- Slow flow – a urine stream that's slow, weak, or stops and starts
- Dribble trouble – dripping or leaking after urination
- Still full – the sensation that the bladder never fully empties

- Obvious problem – blood in the urine or pain and burning after urination
- Family history – if your dad has BPH, you may too
NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. David Samadi, top robotic prostatectomy SMART surgeon, knows a thing or two about prostates. In fact, he's successfully removed more than 4,000 of them from men with prostate cancer. But cancer isn't the only prostate problem out there. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or hypertrophy, is an overgrowth of prostate cells causing an enlarged prostate gland. Dr. Samadi is also a leader in BPH surgery, performing significantly more TURP and Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP) prostate surgeries each year than most urologists. GreenLight TM Laser PVP is one of several PVP surgeries available. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121102/NY05266 ) BPH is not cancerous and does not cause cancer, but the symptoms of BPH and the propensity for men to develop it are strikingly similar to prostate cancer. The incidence of BPH seems to follow right along with a man's age. An enlarged prostate occurs in about 50% of men by age 50 and 80% of men by age 80. BPH SymptomsLike prostate cancer, the symptoms of BPH can vary from one man to the next. More often, BPH becomes enough of a lifestyle inhibitor that men pursue diagnosis. As prostate cells multiply, the prostate enlarges and restricts the urethra making urination uncomfortable and unpredictable. Do I have BPH?BPH symptoms start off as mild nuisances, but gradually progress as the condition worsens. Referred to as Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), they may include:

Speech that is abusive to humans or derogatory to God. Blasphemy against humans occurs when people speak words harmful to one another (Matt. 15.19; Col. 3.8; NRSV: "slander"). Blasphemy also occurs when a person speaks against God in a way that fails to recognize the sacredness and honor of God's person and name. According to Leviticus 24.10–16, it was punishable by death.
Blasphemy was also used to describe a claim to a divine prerogative. According to Mark 2.7 (par.), Jesus was accused of blasphemy when he claimed to forgive sins; see also John 10.33–36; Mark 14.64.
The gospel writers also describe Jesus' opponents as blasphemous when they mocked him (Mark 15.29; Luke 22.65). Similarly, 1 Timothy says that Paul blasphemed Jesus when he persecuted the church (1.13), and that those who deserted the gospel were also guilty of blasphemy (1.20).
In a passage that has elicited much debate, the synoptic Gospels (Mark 3.28–29 par.) speak of blasphemy against the (Holy) Spirit as a sin that cannot be forgiven. The context indicates that this sin is not committed unintentionally by Jesus' followers, but is ascribed to the adversaries of Jesus, who had attributed his success to an evil spirit.

The American flags lining the front drive of the Heartland Worship Center on Saturday left no doubt that Aaron C. Torian had served his country with honor.
And the line of mourners extending from the church's auditorium and through the lobby showed that Torian had earned the respect of many over the course of his 36 years - more than 10 of which he spent in the Marine Corps.
Yet Torian's celebration of life ceremony centered just as much on his role as a husband, father, brother and son as it did on his formidable achievements as a Marine.
Torian's mother, Esta Smith, took the lectern in the worship center's auditorium to share her memories of Torian, a master sergeant who died Feb. 15 from injuries received during combat training operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
"Aaron held onto the things he believed in: faith, love, and freedom," she said. "Aaron wasn't preachy or in your face, but his life spoke volumes."
In even tones, Smith described Torian as an inquisitive child with bright blue eyes and a sly smile that often indicated he was up to mischief. He loved to draw, and was the kind of kid who would take apart his toys just to see how they worked, she said.
"Aaron had his weaknesses, as we all do - basically math - but he never let fear keep him from celebrating that unique person he was," she said.
As he grew older, Smith said, Torian conquered home improvement tasks with the same enthusiasm and determination he put into his career in the Marines.
"His work ethic was remarkable. He was a warrior as a Marine, that has been established. ... However, Aaron could and would try anything," she said.
A Paducah native, Torian attended high school in Waldorf, Md., and went to the University of Tennesee-Martin on a football scholarship. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Health and Human Performance, then completed his master's in Instructional Leadership at Tennessee Tech University. This was where he met his wife, Jurley Pomeroy, with whom he had three children: Elijah, 9; Laura Bella, 4; and Avery, 2.
Torian joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2003 and rose quickly through the ranks. At 28, he was named the Second Marine Division's Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year. He was assigned in 2006 to the 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion, Marine Special Operations Regiment, U.S. Marine Corp Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and promoted to Master Sergeant in Sept. 2013.
Torian served two tours in Iraq and three in Afghanistan. He embarked on his sixth tour in Oct. 2013.
Although he earned numerous awards - including the Purple Heart, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and the Combat Action Ribbon with gold star - Torian was always humble about his achievements.
"The conversation was always about how blessed he felt and how he thanked God for his beautiful family. Humility was the definition of Aaron," Smith said.
Smith said that she hadn't known her son had received a Purple Heart until she saw him in full uniform. When she asked why he hadn't told her about the honor, Torian replied that he didn't want her to worry.
Smith concluded her speech with a direct address to her son.
"Thank God for the blessing and honor of allowing me to be your mom," Smith said. "Semper Fi - always faithful. My son, you are a true American hero," she said through tears.
In honor of Torian's achievements, Mayor Gayle Kaler read a proclamation designating April 5, 2014 as Aaron Torian Day.
Before the final prayer of the ceremony, the Paducah chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America presented the Torian family with a message from the Galveston County, Texas, chapter of the VVA. It stated that never again will one generation of veterans abandon another.
Torian was laid to rest with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in February.
