Girl Detective Names: Trixie, Theolinda, Thursday and Tuppence
Hear the words 'detective' or 'private eye,' and you probably picture a tough guy like Mickey Spillane or a cooler customer like Sam Spade. But it turns out that mystery fiction also features a lot more female sleuths than you might think, dating back to Loveday Brooke in the 1890s and coming right up to today.
It's interesting to note how many of these earlier crime-solvers were given "ladylike" professions as covers—either as antique dealers or esoteric academics –or the more modern wedding planners or pet sitters. It wasn't—for the most part—till the TV era, that they would become career private or police investigators.
One thing that they do have in common though is some pretty fantastic first names, and here are some of the best.
Adelia Aguilar is a medieval forensic specialist in a series of novels by British crime writer "Ariana Franklin," alias Diana Norman.
Amelia Peabody is an archaeologist/detective created by Elizabeth Peters, Amelia Butterworth a nosy high-society lady with lots of free time for crime solving, created by Anna Katharine Green
Bertha Cool–(a name that's a contradiction in terms?)— is an older, overweight private investigator in a series of books by A. A. Fair –a pseudonym of Erle Stanley Gardner.
Carnegie Kincaid — a crime-solving Seattle wedding planner in a series by Deborah Donnelly.
China Bayles—an herbalist and ex-lawyer detective created by Susan Wittig Albert.
Clio Browne—the first black female detective, in stories written by Dolores Komo.
Cordelia Gray—Serious and shy, this P.D. James character makes an unlikely private eye when she inherits a detective agency.
Dixie Hemingway — an ex-policewoman and pet sitter in Sarasota Florida in a series by Blaize Clement.
Doran Fairweather – an antique dealer/amateur detective in a series of books by British novelist Mollie Hardwick.
Hildegarde Withers — a tweedy, snoopy, schoolmarm created by Stuart Palmer.
Honey West — one of the first TV female PIs, described as a cross between Mike Hammer and Marilyn Monroe.
Jemima Shore—an investigative journalist and amateur detective created by the Irish historian/novelist Antonia Fraser.
Kinsey Milhone—a private investigator and former policewoman whose unusual first name was her mother's maiden name, created by Sue Grafton for her 'alphabet' mystery series.
Lisbeth Salander — a computer hacker and private investigator in the mega popular Millennium Trilogy by Swedish journalist and novelist Stieg Larsson.
Loveday Brooke — an early "lady detective" appearing in short stories by Catherine Louisa Pirkis beginning in 1894.
Maud Silver–a retired governess and amateur sleuth a la Miss Marple, by Patricia Wentworth.
Precious Ramotswe — the charming and clever first female private investigator in Botswana, created by Alexander McCall Smith.
Seychelles Sullivan— a salvage tug boat captain operating out of Ft.Lauderdale, in a contemporary series by Christine Kling. An interesting place name we haven't heard before.
Temperance Brennan — the exceptionally named TV anthropologist and forensic specialist seen on the TV show Bones.
Temple Barr — a PR consultant and amateur detective in the Midnight Louie series by Carole Nelson Douglas.
Theolinda "Dol" Bonner– a private detective in several Nero Wolfe mysteries created by Rex Stout.
Thursday Next (daughter of Wednesday Next) — the heroine of a series that forms a genre unto itself—a mix of mystery, fantasy and parody by Jasper Fforde.
Trixie Belden is a junior Nancy Drew, a girl-detective who, with a friend, solves mysteries that baffle authorities, starting in 1948.
Tuppence Beresford solves crimes with her husband Tommy in a series of novels and short-stories by Agatha Christie beginning in 1922.
Verity Birdwood– a TV researcher who solves murders in six books by Australian Jennifer Rowe
Victoria Iphigenia Warshawski– a former police officer created by Sara Paretsky, is usually known as Vic—but it's her middle name that we really love.
Violet Strange — a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth, by Anna Katharine Green, one of the first American writers of detective fiction.
Can you think of any other lady detectives with distinctive first names?

I was going to say what @Pansy said. Tuppence can refer to two pence (or pennies) or coinage that is usually given to the poor as alms. Though there is an British Actress Tuppence Middleton who was born in 1987.

I loved Trixie Belden and Tuppence (although perhaps there's something a teensy bit degrading in that one?) and of course Nancy Drew. I love the name Maisie, too. I went with Isobel Spice for my series heroine. I actual started with the last name, which I stole from a friend, and worked backwards!

Agatha Raisin is a delightful English sleuth with her own series of mysteries by M.C. Beaton, that is highly recommended for easy mindless reading.
Also, I've just read another mystery featuring the tales of a set of twin detectives, Honoria (F) and Deveraux (M), nicknamed Twinks and Blotto, set in the 1920's. I personally love love love Honoria and the book, by Simon Brett, is hilarious!!!

AUBURNDALE, Fla. - The Hanover baseball team got its season off to a good start Sunday as the Panthers defeated Augustana (Ill.) 6-2 and Capital (Ohio) 4-1 on day one of the team's annual winter break trip to Florida.
It marks the second straight season Hanover has opened the season with wins in each of its first two games, and the fifth time in the last seven years the team has won it's season-opening game.
The Panthers wasted little time getting on the scoreboard in game one. With one out, seniors John Scheil (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Jack Shine (New Albany, Ind.) were hit by a pitch and walked to put runners on first and second. Juniors Ty Stover (Galveston, Ind.) and Tyler Fitch (Crestwood, Ky.) followed with an RBI single each for a 2-0 lead. Junior Josh Meszaros (Loveland, Ohio) made it a three-run first inning as he scored Stover on a ground out to put the Panthers ahead 3-0 early.
Augustana got one back in the top of the second and had a chance to get more, but junior pitcher Garett Zorb (Medina, Ohio) induced a bases-loaded, inning-ending double play to keep it 3-1.
Hanover added to its lead in the fifth. Junior Chase Sizemore (Fishers, Ind.) and sophomore Spencer Coop (Lexington, Ky.) opened the inning with a pair of singles and moved to second and third on a Scheil sacrifice bunt. Shine delivered a two-run single and then scored himself when Stover followed with a double to right center to make it 6-1.
Augustana (2-1) had its chances to get back into the game. The Vikings stranded two runners in the seventh, two in the eighth, and after scoring its second run in the ninth, left the bases loaded to end the game.
Zorb looked strong in his season debut. The third-year hurler went 6.2 innings and allowed only one unearned run on six hits. He walked two and struck out four to earn his first win of the season.
Junior David Blanco (Fishers, Ind.) came in to close out the ninth and got a ground out to end the game to give him his first career save.
Coop, Shine, Stover and Fitch all finished the game with two hits apiece. Shine and Stover drove in two with Shine also scoring twice.
Game two was tight throughout. Like the opening game, the Panthers were able jump out to an early lead in the first inning.
With two outs, Shine doubled down the left-field line. Stover then singled to center field to score Shine and make it a 1-0 game.
Capital (1-2) looked to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth. With runners on first and second and two outs, the Crusaders singled to left field, but freshman Grant Larimore (LaGrange, Ky.) made a perfect one-hop throw to Fitch to nail the runner at the plate and end the inning.
Capital did tie the game in the seventh with a two-out RBI double down the left-field line, but that tie was short lived as Larimore hit a two-out single through the left side to score Shine and give Hanover a 2-1 lead after seven and a half innings of play.
The Panthers added a pair of insurance runs in the ninth. Again, with two outs, Scheil singled and stole second. Shine drove in his third run of the day with a single to center. Stover was then hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second. Fitch blooped a single to the outfield and Shine would come around to score for the final 4-1 tally.
Junior pitcher David Herrmann (Fishers, Ind.) tossed six scoreless innings in his first start of the season, but received a no decision. He allowed only five hits and walked three with four strikeouts.
Freshman George Dant (Indianapolis, Ind.), in his first collegiate appearance, got the win in relief of Herrmann. Dant tossed an inning and a third and allowed one run on two hits.
Another freshman, Eli Copner (Zionsville, Ind.) earned his first collegiate save in his first game with 1.2 scoreless and hitless innings of relief.
Shine finished the game three for five with an RBI and three runs scored.
After a day off, Hanover (2-0) will return to action Tuesday, Feb. 27 for a doubleheader against the Milwaukee School of Engineering (Wis.). First pitch is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in Auburndale, Fla. with game two to start shortly after the end of game one.

Eeeew, gross, Hamlet! That's gross!
But I guess that's what you're after…to make "that flattering unction" seem as useless and disgusting as possible. And given that the flattering unction is basically the idea that Hamlet is mad (an idea, by the way, that he came up with) it's a little funny.
I think what he may be doing here is a little verbal slight of hand – pulling attention away from all that has just recently passed by leaning into the repulsiveness of this image. If he can make her feel disgusting instead of terrified, he'll have moved her in some way – shaken her out of the just having (not) seen a ghost.

Fabric Pots vs Plastic Pots: Which is better?
Fabric Pots Vs Plastic Pots
Fabric pots are everywhere. But what is it that makes fabric pots better than plastic pots? How do you know which to choose? The science shows using a plastic pot can be worse for your plants than using a fabric pot. But you may still ask - why are fabric pots better than plastic pots? Here are 5 facts about fabric pots that can help put an end to the plastic pots vs. fabric pots debate once and for all.
#1: Air Root Pruning
The primary advantage of the fabric pot vs plastic pots or terracotta planters is air pruning capability, which results in healthier roots being able to provide more nutrients to the plant. With traditional plastic pots, the plant's roots will reach the edge of the container and be forced to circle the container in search of water. As these roots circle, minimal lateral branching will occur resulting in poor nutrient uptake and cause the roots to quickly become root bound.
What makes the fabric pot so unique is when the plant roots reach the container's edge its root tips are trapped by the porous fabric. When these root tips meet the air on the outside of the pot, they are naturally pruned. This pruning process forces lateral branching of roots and increases overall root mass throughout the media.
#2: Increased Yields
Among the benefits of fabric pots are an improvement in total crop yields when using them compared to plastic pots. Air-pruning is to thank for this, primarily. How? Well, it's so simple, we've made it our motto. More Roots = More Fruits. The more media that a plant's roots are in contact with, the more nutrients and water it can draw out, resulting in a happier, healthier, and higher yielding plant. Many users of fabric pots see an increase of 10-12% in yields, as well as a significant increase in stem width when using fabric pots.
#3: Aeration & Drainage
Porous fabric used in fabric pots allows air to enter the root zone from all surfaces of the container. This aeration provides a healthy environment for the roots as well as supports beneficial microorganisms and bacteria. This aeration provides oxygen to the roots, which is essential for the metabolic process in taking up minerals and nutrients. Oxygen is also necessary to diffuse carbon dioxide away from the roots caused by the respiration of root cells and microorganisms. Roots without adequate access to oxygen will result in weak plants that exhibit slow growth and are predisposed to pests and diseases.
A common problem with traditional plastic containers is poor drainage leading to anaerobic condition that result in soil borne diseases like Phytophthora and Pythium, responsible for devastating root rot. Because the fabric is porous in fabric pots, excess water can easily drain from the container keeping moisture at an ideal level for healthy plant growth. This makes fabric pots ideal for high-performance feeding programs for indoor crops as well, as they can dry out quicker for repetitive feeding. Porous fabric also allows for use universally in all types of growing systems, such as flood trays, drain to waste, and other hydroponic applications.
#4: Temperature Control
Fabric pots allow air to penetrate the sides of the container, keeping it cool when exposed to direct sun on hot summer days through the process of evaporative cooling. According to the study (linked above) done by Catherine A. Neal at the University of New Hampshire, Dept. of Plant Biology: "In comparison to standard black plastic nursery pots, above ground fabric containers reduce maximum root zone temperatures through evaporative cooling and reduced absorption of solar radiation." As air passes through a moist growing medium thanks to the aeration of fabric pots, the rootzone is cooled thanks to the passage of air over the water.
#5: Reusability and Storage
One of the lesser known facts about fabric pots is that they are reusable - for quite a few years in fact! Products like GeoPot Fabric Pots can be easily vacuumed to remove dirt and then washed with a peroxide or oxidizing detergent, such as Oxi-Clean to disinfect. This allows growers to re-use their pots between growth cycles without running the risk of cross-contamination. Another benefit of using fabric pots is the amount of space required. One can easily fit over 50 fabric pots in a 20x20 inch space, something that would likely be very hard to do with traditional, bulky plastic pots. You can even seal your fabric pots in plastic bags to prevent any unwanted inhabitants like spiders or rodents from using them as shelter.
Not all Fabric Pots are created equal.
Buyer Beware! Many fabric pots available to consumers do not provide adequate support, longevity, or construction to deliver the results that customers need. In fact, the materials used to make them can tear or degrade after just a single use. When it comes to the standard in fabric pots, one need not look any further than GeoPot fabric pots. A family owned company started in a garage in Petaluma, California, GeoPot fabric pots feature quad stitched, self supporting edges, as well as industry leading fabric thickness and longevity. The stitching is made from a bonded Polyester fiber used in the sails of high-end sailing boats – this ensures that the material will hold up in high moisture, high salinity environments similar to those found in soil environments.
GeoPots are also available with velcro seams for easy transplanting without the potential for damage to the roots that other fabric pots can cause without the use of the velcro. GeoPots are even available with handles to ease movement of pots, even when full! Check out this photo of some full GeoPots being held up by a forklift!

Amateur Radio is a very exciting field of interest and hobby that demands a broad spectrum of technical knowledge and expertise in electrical engineering. Advances in radio communication and and personal computing that we enjoy would not be possible without the pioneering works of the early inventors and researchers such as Marconi and Hertz. To continue the spirit of inventing and experimenting new ways of communication, small bands of enthusiasts demanded excess to the highly contested radio spectrum, thus forming the ham radio operators- licensed to operate radio equipment for experimental and self training purposes. To share the excitement of talking "through ether", I will present a 2 hour seminar on "The World of Amateur Radio" as follows:
Date: 19 October 2016, Wednesday.
Time: 3-5pm
Venue: D1
Topics covered during the seminar would includes:
- History and Advances of Radio Communication
- Amateur Radio Examination and Licensing
- Amateur Radio Operating Procedures
- Exploring the World of radio Communications

RealtimeCampaign.com Promotes Network Forensics Tools Help Business Block Counterfeiting
Have you ever taken a good long look at your passport? It is not the same as examining any old piece of paper. Passports are far more complex. To the average eye the use of specific fonts, colors, and translucent images make them nearly impossible to replicate. They have complex elements you cannot even detect. These elements are put in place for the protection of your identity as well as the protection of that country's government. The idea is that these products should not be able to be reproduced.
In lieu of the continuously advancing technology, more intense measures are needed to protect your products. From sensitive documents to specific labels all your products should be protected from the possibility of counterfeiting. When asking yourself, "What to Look for in Digital Forensics and Incident Response Experts" something worth considering are companies that work with both overt and covert security technologies. Long gone are the days of simple counterfeit. As the products in the market become more technologically complex so do their fraudulent versions. Take for example the pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, counterfeit labels have been wreaking havoc in the pharmaceutical world.
According to RealtimeCampaign.com the only way to secure the authenticity of your products is to make sure they have been treated with both overt and covert security measures. But what exactly are these security features?
Overt Security
The easier target counterfeiters, these overt security technologies are protective measures that you can see with your naked eye. For example, QR codes or engraved microdots serve as the first line of defense against replication. Think of this type of technological security as your online passwords. But, as we all know by now, passwords can be hacked. While over security serves as a great first line of defense, for double the protection, your product will want to use covert security technology as well. You can click site for more information.
Covert Security
These types of technologies use hidden features that, unlike the overt type, are completely undetectable to the human eye. According to a network service intelligence company like Viavi Solutions, these features, "can only be detected with commercially available microscopes or specialized readers." Used alone or in combination with other overt security technologies these measures ensure a product that cannot be replicated and used in counterfeit situations. These types of security measures are being used in pharmaceutical packaging by companies all around the world in order to ensure full protection of their drugs. Examples of covert security include incorporating magnetic elements, infrared technology, microtext, or nanotext into whatever type of product you want to protect.
Imagine if you could simply photocopy someone's passport and use that paper as your own. Think of all the various problems it could cause. Counterfeiting leads to chaos that could cause irreparable damage. This type of damage can be easily avoided if the necessary precautions are taken. The next time you want to protect your business think about how your products can incorporate the type of technological security measures necessary in today's technologically advanced world.

Seven children put us in a definite minority, but we homeschooled all seven of our children all the way through high school, which puts us in an even smaller group. We are proof that God's grace reigns supreme in all of life's challenges. Being married for 33+ years doesn't make you an expert. It makes you an experienced survivor. Staying married is challenging, and keeping your Christian faith intact at the same time can seem impossible. We've experienced and survived because we believe that putting your relationship with God first, the marriage second and everything else afterward is essential. It is our prayer and desire that you be able to overcome whatever challenges that stand between where you are and where you should be with your marriage. All we can offer is our experience, but we always trust God's infinite resources to make up the difference and we always trust Him to do great things. "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.

Clark Terra Incognita: By Land, Sea and Air
Published Feb 01, 2002John Tielli is successfully stepping out of the shadows of his family pedigree (Rheostatics, People From Earth, the Silt) and doing so with the help of the Wooden Stars and the extended Ottawan art-rock community. Much of Terra Incognita's influences are split between the Wooden Stars and early '80s new wave records, like on the angular ska of "Night Train." The best moments here are the quieter ones, like the delicate Rhodes piano and haunting vocals on the aptly titled "Perfect." When Clark tries to be a rock band, the result is less pleasing. This is a band still trying to find its voice, but it's getting closer. (Independent)

Ashton Dam Remediation Phase I
- Owner: PacifiCorp
- Location: Ashton, ID
- Contract Value: $6 M
- Core Competencies: Earthwork, Structural Concrete
This project required the construction of a diversion tunnel through bedrock of an abutment; serving as a river diversion during rehabilitation of an existing earth dam. The tunnel was constructed using drill and blast methods, including lining with rock bolts, mesh and shotcrete. The tunnel entrance was connected to a reinforced concrete control structure with a dual gate control system that includes both 90-inch x 180-inch slide gates and bulkhead gates. A "lake tap" was implemented by excavating an inlet channel to direct reservoir water to the control structure and diversion tunnel.

Bloodletting has been employed since ancient times as a method to keep the body's so-called four humors in balance. By the second millennium, the belief in the four humors began to decline, but bloodletting remained popular. Because surgery was still a crude practice, many physicians avoided it. Instead, people turned to the church for medical help. However, in 1163 a church edict by the Council of Tours forbade monks and priests to practice bloodletting.
Barbers performed a wide variety of functions at that time. In addition to cutting hair, a barber might pull teeth, perform surgery on minor wounds, amputate limbs or administer leeches. Already prepared with the tools needed to perform venesection, barbers developed a thriving bloodletting practice from 1100 to 1500. This included the development of barber organizations, entrance into schools to learn the trade and a distinguishing symbol, the barber pole.
As more was learned about surgery, a transition began from barbers to more experienced physicians performing bloodletting. By the 1800s, the popularity of bloodletting had reached an all-time high. Multiple methods of administration were detailed in medical books, from dry cupping to scarification, venesection and arteriotomy.
In areas considered too constricted or in patients too weak for the usual methods of bloodletting, leeches were considered useful. Rubbing the skin with sugar-water, milk or blood would persuade the leech to bite after which it would suck blood until gorged.
Leeches could be applied to the anus and rectum for relief of abdominal inflammations such as hepatitis, enteritis and puerperal fever; to the mucous membrane of the nose to relieve chronic nose bleeds; and sometimes to the vagina to stimulate menstrual flow. Detailed methods were developed for the administration of leeches to almost any body part. For example, a physician might tie a string to a leech to avoid suffocation when attaching a leech to a patient's tonsils.

As a parent, you will watch your child enter and exit many big milestones in their lives. From lifting their heads up for the first time, to crawling, and eventually, walking – seeing our children grow and become individuals is an experience like no other. When your child gets their first invitation to a sleepover, it is both thrilling and a little scary. With some encouragement and a lot of love, you can help make your child feel more comfortable to traverse from play-dates to overnights.
Children between the ages of 7 to 9 are moving into their sleepover prime. All children are different and have their own reactions to the entrance into this new social setting – some experience separation anxiety, which is very common. Ultimately, there is no definition of the "right age" – but children are the best judges of themselves and when they are ready.
With these tips, you can increase the odds that your kid isn't going to bail out come bedtime.
Make Sure They're On Board
If you are comfortable with the arrangement for the sleepover, update your child with the information you know. Keeping them in the circle of knowledge builds trust with them and helps let them know that they can count on you to be honest with them. Making a plan to say good night with your child from wherever they are is a good idea – whether it's a phone call from the house line, or their own phone or device. This way you can battle any preliminary anxiety before it ever has a chance to arrive in your child's mind.
Talk About What to Expect
Getting scared and wanting to get back home during a sleepover tends to originate from a fear of the unknown – which is totally normal for children to experience. If your child still wets the bed, they may feel nervous about having an accident and their friend finding out. To free your child of this anxiety, pack gentle diapers with them at night. The less bulky the better as your child probably wants to keep the situation low-key, but if something should occur, they simply have to get up and throw the diaper away. Crisis averted. Of course, let them know that they can call you at any time if they get worried, and that there isn't anything to be frightened of; it's all just part of growing up.
Offer to Host
If you feel your child may be particularly anxious about spending the night at a friend's house, you might want to offer to host a sleepover. That way your child can get an idea of what these events are like, and how everything is likely to unfold. You can also see if your child will grow agitated spending so much one-on-one time with their friend. It is a beneficial observatory experiment for both you and the child, as well as a fun night for every one!
Follow Your Heart
If you're getting a bad feeling about your child's ability to comfortably stay the night at a friend's house – don't feel bad about saying no. The presence of other older children may upset you or affect your child's experience altogether, it is a preference that changes from family to family and should be discussed prior to responding to the invitation.
Every family is dynamic and different, but a policy of open discussion is always the best approach to any situation that may arise.
I'm a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn't change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!

Box Office
At Middlebury, your ticket is more than just a slip of paper. It's your pass to classical, jazz, and world music concerts, plays, dance performances, and more. A ticket will get you into rock concerts, hockey games, and many other events.
Box Office Update, Fall 2020
The box office is operating on a limited capacity, since most arts events for fall 2020 will be virtual to best serve the safety of our campus and community. Good news: we expect all arts events will be free!
We continue to post new features to the Mahaney Arts Center's Digital Stages project, so be sure to check it out if you haven't already. As for 2021, we're still hoping to go forward with in-person, live arts events in the spring, and we'll share those plans later this semester.
SGA Break Buses will go on sale early October.
Whole Lot of Free
There's a whole lot of FREE around here. Half of the 300+ arts events every year at Middlebury are free and open to the public. Come see for yourself—it won't cost you a penny.
Learn more about free and low-cost ticket programs for Middlebury students.
Directions, Parking, and Transportation
- Find GPS information and driving directions.
- Free parking for the Mahaney Arts Center (Robison Hall, Seeler Studio Theatre, Dance Theatre, Museum of Art) is available curbside on Route 30 or in the Arts Center parking lot on Porter Field Road. For other venues, parking may be limited. See more information about visitor parking.
- Several transportation options are available locally.
Policies and Guidelines
Be sure to review our straightforward policies and guidelines for ticketing and event attendance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is Will Call?
Will Call is the industry term for "pick up at the box office." Will call ticket pickup usually has it own lines at the Box Office of the venue.
Q What is a paid waiting list?
When a performance is listed as sold-out we are often able to accommodate a few additional patrons due to last minute cancellations, no-shows, or added seats. Seating is not guaranteed, but if you follow the Paid Wait List procedures listed below, chances are very good you'll get in to see that sold-out show. Just because we're sold out doesn't mean you have to miss out!
Here's how it works:
- One hour before show time, the Box Office will open and a Paid Wait List will be taken—for that show only, and in person only—on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Submit your name and payment at the Box Office window to be added to the Paid Wait List.
- Any cancelled or returned tickets will be released to those on the wait list as they become available.
- You are welcome to wait in the lobby. If you leave the building, be sure to return to the box office no later than 10 minutes before show time.
- At show time, the House Manager will assess seats for no-show availability and call Paid Wait-Listed patrons in the order in which they arrived.
- If seating is not available for that performance, you will be refunded the ticket price.

Faith Chapel's Jubilee Celebration on October 7th was a "Great Gathering!" The attendance was superb. The atmosphere was alive and festive. The Spirit of the Lord moved powerfully. The fellowship was rich.
The Lord blessed Faith Chapel with a distinctive call, visionary leadership, and Kingdom focused ministry, which has resulted in a significant impact on the city of Huntsville, the Tennessee Valley, and beyond. During the last 50 years, thousands of people have come to faith through the vast ministries of the church. Dozens of men and women, of all ages and backgrounds, accepted God's call to ministry, and were sent out locally, nationally and globally. The generous giving from Faith Chapel through the years helped to support many in the ministry as they were released and sent out to spread the gospel. To God be the glory!
During the celebration, Founding Pastor Joel and Janelle McGraw were honored by the congregation for their faithful and dedicated leadership in the Tennessee Valley during the last five decades. This includes almost 40 years as Senior Pastor at Faith Chapel.
Pastor Hank & Teressa Mays are to be commended for planning and hosting this historic celebration. May the river of God continue to flow freely from Faith Chapel, locally and globally, to complete the call and mission.

The gentleman's New Year's resolution
Hello there,
As you may or may not be aware, the new year was rung in during our sabbatical here at The Gentleman. As such may I congratulate all of our followers for making it into what I'm sure will be an eventful year of gentlemanly pastimes.
I thought it only proper that we here at The Gentleman would share our New Year's resolutions with you in an effort to stimulate your gentlemanly urges and branch out into a new area of gentlemanly habits that you may not have tried before.
1. Travel in gentlemanly style. Even if it's out to the countryside for a picnic, make sure you travel somewhere this year. Don't forget to carry yourself as a gentleman at all times and also don't remember to take the back up red wine.
2. Put your feet up once in a while. It is important that a gentleman has sufficient 'down time' so as to recharge the gentlemanly batteries. It's a proven fact that playing golf followed by cigars and Scotch is as labour intensive on the body as 5 marathons, therefore a gentleman should take time when he can to rest and relax. Remember, stress can kill you, especially if it's in the guise of that armed Cat Burglar I apprehended when I was on the French Riviera.
3. Find the Maltese Falcon. This is a pretty self explanatory resolution. Elusive and priceless, the Falcon has been sought after by many a gentleman.
4. Test Pilot an experimental form of transportation. Gentlemen are by definition, fearless. Therefore why not put your courage to the test and take a trip to the wild side via experimental transportation.
5. Learn to stare like Michael Caine. If there is one thing that Michael Caine was good at, (and there wasn't, since he was good at most things such as masonry or skydiving) it was staring down an opponent. Learn the art of his stare and you are bound to be victorious in any duel.
6. Be the best gentleman you can be. As gentleman we should strive to be the height of style, honour, compassion and promoting the gentlemanly way of going about things. But there is always room for improvement, even here at The Gentleman. So be the best gentleman you can be for this year of 2011 and maybe one day we can all attain the status of Cary Grant.

Mother of Alton Sterling's son says she's mourning with Dallas officers' families
Protests were set to resume Saturday in Baton Rouge, hours after demonstrations over a video-recorded police shooting produced tense moments resulting in 30 arrests. Louisiana is the third-poorest state in the nation , according to U.S. Census data. One of them, Calvin Wilson, 56, said Sterling had a second job as a cook.

Black Lives Matter grieves killings of civilians, police
An unidentified gunman negotiated with police from inside a parking garage early Friday , telling police he was angered over racially charged shootings and wanted to kill white people, police said . He graduated from John Horn High School in Mesquite, where he was a ROTC member, school district officials said. Alton Sterling was shot by police Tuesday morning, and the next day, some of the last moments of Philando Castile's life were shown on Facebook Live after he, too, was shot by police.

The shooter allegedly voiced a desire to "kill white people" ahead of the attack, authorities have said. "But we can make it harder for them to do so", he added.

Rare restraint, reflection, calls for understanding from candidates
Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. "This isn't the American Dream we all want for our children", the presumptive Republican presidential candidate said. Gov.

Trump laments the rash of violence
We'll make it clear when deadly force is warranted, and when it isn't. "We're seeing wild acts of gun violence and we are polarized in our politics and in the public square", said historian Douglas Brinkley. The vice president's appearance with Clinton was to come nearly nine months after he had closed the door on a 2016 run of his own. It marked the second time in a month that it had canceled a major rally following a shooting - in June, it pushed back an event with President Barack Obama ...

This is a recent article that was published on www.inc.com by Jerome Ternynck.
1. What role will I fill?
When it comes to an employee's role in a business's strategy, the job title explains only so much. You are filling a void on the living, breathing team. Is this company hoping for an ideas person, a mentor to other employees, a creative force, a rule follower, a rule breaker? Get to the specifics of "who" your position is supposed to be.
2. Why does this role matter to the growth of the company?
Use this question to explore the expected level of engagement. Are you more comfortable being in a low- or a high-impact role? Do you want to be in a role that is universally respected within the company or are you OK being the undercover hero?
3. Who would my colleagues be?
The best interviews include three to four team members. If that is not the case in your interview, use this question to gain insight into team dynamics and personalities. These are the people you will spend every day with, so they need to pass what Tom Gimbel calls "the airplane test"–someone you would enjoy sitting next to on a long flight.
4. What would I be doing that makes your job easier?
This question has two benefits–you will find out who is going to lean on you the heaviest and what you will need to do to keep the other teammates happy. The answers to this question will be the immediate problems each team member is hoping you will solve.
5. What are additional important skills I will need to do this job well?
What are the soft skills needed for this particular job? Find out if the company needs someone who is also a self-starter or works well in teams. This is also an excellent time to bring up any additional skills you have that are appropriate for position.
6. How does the company measure success?
Identifying how your progress in this position will be measured will give you a better idea of whether or not you will be successful. Get specifics on what your deliverables will be per project. Ask about common work habits of people who have had this position in the past whom the company considered successful.
7. What would you expect from me this month, in three months, and in a year?
Chances are that your employer has a trajectory for your role in mind. Find out what you will need to deliver in the next coming months. Ask yourself if this pace feels doable for the way you work.
8. What is your mission?
This is one of the most important questions you can ask. Research shows that employees are most happy when their goals align with those of their employers. Get philosophical here and find out why you are both here in this room and if you want the same things.
Repeat your questions for each hiring manager you meet, because you will get different responses from different people. As a CEO, I am often the last person in the round of interviews. It happens time and time again that I will say, "Do you have any questions for me?" and get a polite "No, I got a lot of my questions answered."
I didn't get my questions answered though. Keep the conversation going. If you want to work for my company, you have to ask for it.
