The word "collection" conjures up a variety of images from the familiar basket passed at a Sunday service to the daily pickup by the local trash hauler.
For some the need to collect can be disastrous and end in hoarding. For others it is an art form - a love of specific items and a joy in finding the perfect one to complete or enhance the collection.
I had the opportunity to judge collections at the county fair a few years back and I was amazed at the variety of items that children and adults collect. I was also impressed with the care that the collectors took in displaying their collection.
There were beautiful handmade quilts accented with antique porcelain dishes. Tinware was displayed in front of a red barn siding back drop. Tea cups of all shapes and sizes sat atop an antique lace tablecloth.
In the children's division, youngsters displayed turtles in dioramas, toys with original boxes, Pokemon figures and cards in large quantities. I often wondered about those who shared their collections, especially the youngsters.
"We have some collectors as young as three and four years old," said Joanne Zillman, Batavia Public Library's director of children's services.
Young Batavia Library patrons have the opportunity to share their collections by displaying them in the display cases at the library.
"In the old library, we had a five-year waiting time from when the kids signed up to when they were able to display their collection," said Zillman. "With our new case the waiting time is cut to two years."
And I thought waiting seven years for "Bozo's Circus" tickets was tough.
Through a generous donation from the John Elam family, the library was able to have a new case built. Ken Heinz built the case and made four separate display areas to allow more displays at one time. If a child wants to change the collection from the original signup, that's allowed.
Sometimes there are mixed reactions from the younger kids.
"Some are so proud and they bring in family members to see it and they have their pictures taken next to the display," said Zillman.
Others have a difficult time leaving the collection.
"We had one little boy who had a collection of stuffed animals," she added. "He was very excited to set up the display but when he realized that he would have to leave it at the library for a month, he just couldn't do it. He ended up taking it down and taking it home with him."
According to Zillman, the library has showcased a variety of collections from key chains to rocks, Legos to Star Wars characters.
Upstairs at the library, Director George Scheetz is happy to share his love of collecting, which includes everything from ViewMasters to tennis books.
However, his most prized collection features books from favorite author, Thorne Smith, a novelist from the 1920s, who was famous for the "Topper" series.
"I became interested in Thorne Smith when I worked at the library in Peoria," said Scheetz. "His books weren't easy to find, so I began searching used book stores and flea markets for them."
With the help of the Internet, Scheetz has been able to locate all of the books published in the United States as well as Smith books that have been published in other languages.
"I have books translated in Swedish, Danish, Italian, Croatian, Egyptian, Slovakian; you name it," he added. "I can't read them but it is interesting to me how the different foreign publishers handle the illustrations and art."
Scheetz admits that collecting is more about the hunt, than the actual acquisition.
"I love the fun of the search and connecting with others who share your interest," he said.
Marilyn Kasules agrees that collecting is all about the hunt and she is thrilled when someone shares a find with her.
"A friend recently gave me a book she found at a flea market," said Kasules. "I was so happy that she thought of me."
Kasules began collecting hymnals and common prayer books when she was 12 years old.
"My uncle was thinking of buying a farmhouse and I tagged along with him," she said. "The owner of the house had a piano with an old paperbound hymnal placed on it. I had been playing piano for about four years so I sat down and played some hymns from this old hymn book. When I was finished, the owner of the house gave it to me."
That first hymn book, the Official Hymn Book of the Episcopal Methodist-South Church, was the first in a collection of over 100 books. Included in Kasules's collection are hymnals that feature the slave scale, or all black notes as well as the shaped-note music of the late 1800s.
One of her most unique hymnals is the Radio Hymnal from station KFWF in Shenandoah, Iowa. The radio show that played hymns was sponsored by the Henry Field's Seed Company.
Kasules doesn't just collect the hymnals, she uses them playing favorite hymns from time to time.
"Looking through these hymnals is a lot like reading old newspapers," she said. "Church music has changed so much over the years. I can look at four bars of any hymn and tell you within 50 years when it was written."
Kasules, an accomplished pianist and organist, had an organ teacher who made her sing the hymns before she learned to play them.
"She wanted me to understand the phrasing and the importance of the words," she added.
Some of the hymns from the old hymnals are perfect for singing without accompaniment.
"I call them my dishwashing hymns," she added. "I stand at the sink and sing them."
Collecting can be a lifelong hobby. From the thrill of the hunt to the excitement of the find, it's a hobby that involves research and respect for treasures of the past and present.

Offering clients the experience and diversity of a larger firm while retaining the approachability, efficiency and personal attention of a smaller practice.
New Cases of Interest - March 16, 2010
Lhotka v. Geographic Expeditions, Inc. (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 816. A travel company brought a motion to compel arbitration in connection with a wrongful death action that was brought by the survivors of a client of the travel company who had died on a hiking expedition. The travel company had provided to the client a release form and had represented in doing so that other travel companies had the same requirements as were contained in this release. The release limited recovery for any damages to the amount paid for the trip and, if the survivors brought any legal action challenging the provision, required the survivors to indemnify the travel company for legal fees and expenses. The agreement also required the survivors to pay half of the mediation fees and half of the arbitration expenses in a city that was away from where the survivors lived.
The trial court denied the motion to compel arbitration and that decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal noted that weighing the unconscionability of an agreement, as well as an arbitration provision, is on a sliding scale with the more substantively oppressive the term, the less evidence of procedural unconscionability is required in order to void the arbitration provision. The activity here was nonessential and recreational, and hence a release generally would be enforceable in this area, but the company's representations that its competitors would insist on the same terms was sufficient to find procedural unconscionability. The one sided nature of the terms also established substantive unconscionability and the clause was found to be unenforceable.
Dotson v. Amgen, Inc. (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 975. This was also a case which involved an arbitration provision, and in the case an attorney sued for wrongful termination by his employer and opposed a motion by the employer to compel arbitration. The Court of Appeal reversed the trial court, and required that an order be entered granting the company's motion to compel arbitration. The Court found that the arbitration agreement in allowing the arbitrator to expand discovery upon a showing of need removed any unconscionability otherwise present in the agreement. Procedural unconscionability was present only because the offer had been presented to the attorney on a take it or leave it basis. The agreement, however, was not overly long, and was written in clear and unambiguous language and the fact that arbitration was a condition of employment was stated numerous times in the agreement in a clear and conspicuous fashion. The attorney had the ability to understand that he was agreeing to arbitration when he signed the agreement. He knowingly entered into the agreement in exchange for generous compensation and benefits. The Court therefore found the arbitration provision to be enforceable.
Harris v. City of Santa Monica (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 1094. An employee brought a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit against a city in which the employee, who was an at-will bus driver, alleged that the City had terminated her because she was pregnant. The City asserted that it had nondiscriminatory reasons for her termination and presented evidence of poor job performance. The Court stated that the mixed motive defense presented by the employer remains good law in appropriate circumstances. Because what was presented was now essentially a question of fact as to what the employer's motivation was, the matter was remanded to the trial court with instructions to proceed to trial.
Sharabianlou v. Karp (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 1133. This case involved an attempted rescission of a real estate contract, with the trial court ordering rescission and awarding damages to the sellers as well as attorney's fees, awarding the buyer some of their expenses and return of their deposit, and finding that a real estate agent had no liability on the buyer's tort claims. The rescission claim arose after the parties discovered environmental contamination on the property. The Court of Appeal partially reversed and held that a damage award which had been made to the sellers for the difference between the sellers' income from the property which they bought with the proceeds and the higher income that a more valuable replacement property would have provided was not appropriate because it did more than restore the parties to their former position, which was to be the measure of damage in a rescission claim.
Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. v. City of Pico Rivera (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 1207. The plaintiff in this case originally received a municipal contract to maintain a city's bus stops through a competitive bidding process. Four years after the bid had been awarded, the City terminated the contract, as the contract allowed the City to do. Without new competitive bids, the City entered into a new contract with one of plaintiff's competitors. Plaintiff sought a writ of mandate and declaratory relief to invalidate the new contract and the City filed a SLAPP motion. The Court of Appeal reversed the trial court, and instructed the trial court to deny the SLAPP motion. The Court concluded that even if the plaintiff's claims involved a public issue, they were not based on any conduct in furtherance of a free speech right or the right to petition a government for redress of grievances. Rather the claims were based on state and municipal laws requiring certain contracts be awarded only through competitive bidding. Although the City's communications had evidentiary value in that respect, the liability was not based on the communications themselves. Additionally, the City's decision not to go through the bidding process was not a protected activity. Because protected activity was not the thrust of the action, the SLAPP statute did not apply, and the motion was denied.

MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) has been approved for the management of obesity, including weight loss and maintenance of weight loss, when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet.
Most side effects associated with MERIDIA are mild and transient in nature, including dry mouth, headache, constipation, and insomnia.
MERIDIA works in a different manner than other prescription weight management medications. It is a neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor that merely enhances the body's normal function. MERIDIA is not a releasing agent. It does not get inside the cells to boost the release of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin. Instead, as a reuptake inhibitor, MERIDIA works outside the cells to stop neurotransmitters from being reabsorbed. MERIDIA works by affecting natural chemicals in the brain involved in regulating appetite--allowing them to act longer. The appetite control center in the brain is believed to regulate the amount of food eaten through feelings of hunger and fullness.

Dhaka [Bangladesh], October 12 (ANI): Arrest warrants have been issued against Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson Khaleda Zia after she failed to appear for hearings on Wednesday in two separate cases filed against her in connection with the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption matter and over undermining the country's map and national flag.
The fifth special judge's court issued a warrant after Khaleda did not turn up for the hearing on the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case, while a metropolitan magistrate also ordered her arrest in a libel suit.
Judge Akhteruzzaman of the Special Judge Court-5 had passed the order against Zia and had fixed October 19 for hearing on arguments related to Zia Orphanage Trust graft case, the Daily Star reported.
The former prime minister has been in London since mid-July.
Earlier, the court recorded the statements of 32 prosecution witnesses including the complainant and the investigating officer of the case.
Khaleda Zia is skipping the hearing in the case since July 15, while another accused BNP senior vice chairman Tarique Rahman has been shown fugitive in the case.
The Zia Charitable Trust corruption case relates to corruption over the misuse of funds in a charity named after former president Zia-ur Rahman.
The Anti-Corruption Commission filed the case on July 3, 2008, with the Ramna Police Station accusing Khaleda, her elder son Tarique and four others for misappropriating over Tk 2.10 crore that was received as grants for orphans via a foreign bank.
"The courts issued arrest warrants in two cases on the same day. It's a ploy by the government so that she can't return home," Khaleda's counsel Sanaullah Mia said, the media reports.
On November 3 last year, A.B. Siddique, the president of Bangladesh Jananetri Parishad, a pro-Awami League organisation had filed the case with the court, accusing Khaleda and her late husband and former president Zia-ur Rahman of undermining the country's map and national flag.
Siddique had submitted a petition seeking an arrest warrant for Khaleda on September 17, the same court warned Khaleda of arrest warrant if she fails to appear before it today. (ANI)

Plug-in hybrids are, theoretically at least, designed to offer all the benefits of an electric car with barely any of the drawbacks. Charge them up and they'll get you around on pure battery power, but there's also a petrol engine under the bonnet to keep you going when the batteries run flat.
That makes the VW Golf GTE a much more realistic proposition for many buyers than the fully electric e-Golf. True, the latter qualifies for even more tax breaks, but the GTE is still a much cheaper company car than any regular petrol or diesel-powered Golf courtesy of its tiny (official) CO2 output of as little as 38g/km.
Catches? Well, even VW only claims a maximum pure electric range of 31 miles, and in the real world you'll be lucky to get more than 20 miles down the road before the petrol engine cuts in, whereas an e-Golf can manage closer to 120 miles between charges. If you're buying privately, the Golf GTE is also really pricey, and you'll only get a £2500 grant from the Government (rather than the £4500 grant available on pure electric cars, such as the e-Golf).
Still, the Golf GTE has plenty going for it, but for roughly the same money you could also buy the very similar Audi A3 e-Tron or the much larger Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Would either of those be a better buy? Or would you actually be better off with a conventional petrol or diesel? Read on over the next few pages and we'll tell you all you need to know.

A handsome Pakistani tea seller has won a modelling gig and semi-broken the internet after his brooding, mustachioed picture was shared all over the world.
Jiah Ali, a photographer based in Islamabad, posted a picture of 18-year-old Arshad Khan on Instagram after spotting the 'chai wala' (tea seller in English) at the city's Sunday Bazaar.
Thousands of social media users have since shared the picture, and Khan has already been signed up to model for the Pakistani a shopping site fittin.pk.
His debut advert is quite brilliant.
Ms Ali wrote on her Facebook page that Khan was "very happy" about his sudden fame.
"His family have been living in Islamabad for 25 years, previously he was a fruit seller at the same Sunday market but three months ago he started working at the tea stall.
"He would love to accept modelling/acting offers. People have been asking about his reaction, he's very confused right now and is overwhelmed with all the attention. He's confused, scared and happy all at the same time.
"He doesn't mind being called a 'chai wala', and yes he is getting a lot of offers!"
Khan told a local TV station that "40 to 50 girls" had visited him within hours of his photo going viral, while others mentioned his role in easing Pakistani-Indian tensions.
Clearly #India-#Pakistan tensions have eased; a handsome Islamabad tea-seller is the top-trending topic in the region (& world!). #ChaiWala— Michael Kugelman (@MichaelKugelman) October 17, 2016
This is the POWER of social media. The famous #chaiwala is now a model. He has been hired by fitin.pk pic.twitter.com/yOSFF4RKhL— Madhav Sharma (@HashTagCricket) October 18, 2016
Good work Arshad.

We're exactly one month away from the premiere of Fuller House on Netflix. And the cast isn't making the anticipation any easier to take by dropping lengthy teasers featuring a lot of behind-the-scenes action without so much as a single spoiler. Bravo, guys. Way to leave us hanging.
While this most recent promo will pluck the heartstrings of dedicated Full House fans, we're impatiently awaiting more meatier details about what's to come. Will Jesse & the Rippers finally reunite? What's the deal with DJ and Steve? Has Kimmy learned to chew with her mouth closed? And are the Olsen twins seriously not putting in a single guest appearance? Alas, we'll have to wait until February to find out.

Sandra Pugh
This has been a year of road work North of Hutchinson. Maybe it has been all over the county but it seemed worse up here. They didn't complete one job before starting another one. We wondered more than once when we headed to town if you can get there from here.
I hate driving on the ground down streets because they are so dirty and the drop off from good pavement and then back up onto good pavement is hard on the cars alignment. I don't know if they published the areas they were going to be working in the paper, but we don't take the paper so can't look to see.
Friday, September 1st. I made several trips down Monroe to town. In the morning there was nothing going on, road construction wise, on Monroe and I didn't see anything in either direction on 56th. So I made the trip into town and back an hour later with no problem.
I went back to town mid afternoon for a short errand and when I arrived at 56th Street they had been there with the machine that grinds down the pavement. There was a 6 inch drop from Monroe down onto 56th in the intersection.
I forgot about it being ground down when I came home and didn't realize it until I was within a short distance of the intersection and no where to turn around. I would have driven the extra 3 miles to miss all that if I'd remembered. On Saturday morning we needed to go to the library and stop for milk and we both forgot they had ground down the 56th Street and Monroe intersection.
When we arrived at the intersection at the 4 way stop on 56th there was a flag man standing in the intersection. Now why would they need a flagman at a 4 way stop. He had the traffic backed up for a block in all 4 directions instead of letting the drivers work the 4 way stop and move on through.
We couldn't see anything going on in either direction from the stop sign so it was crazy that he was there. When we came back home we drove up Plum and across on 82nd and then back down Monroe. A few extra miles but didn't have to deal with the ground down intersection and a flag man.
As we went around the round about on Plum I looked to the west and they were working just west of the roundabout. It had been an hour since we came through the Monroe and 56th intersection and they were just then beginning to lay down a new mat on top of the old between Plum and Monroe.
For about a week they were working on Plum street north of town. They had a flagman just a few car lengths south of the roundabout one day. The traffic was backed up all the way around the roundabout and beyond so you couldn't get around it from any direction. Every thing was at a stand still waiting for the pilot car. Why not detour people away from Plum and the roundabout?
It has been a trial all summer to figure out how to go to town without going through road work. East 56th from Plum to 61 Highway has been covered with rocks and chunks of asphalt that has fallen off or out of the trucks hauling it to and from the work site. The pieces were large enough to break a windshield or pit up the front of the car.
About the time I knew a good route into town they started work somewhere else. I wondered if they were working all over the county or just mainly north of town between Hendricks and 61 Highway to the east. I hope they are finished out here for the winter.
There is always a major street in town or one of the major roads into Hutchinson torn up when the fair starts. Wonder why they don't do the streets that impact the fair traffic early in the summer and do some of the others later that would not be a problem during the fair. It doesn't put out the welcome mat for State Fair visitors when a major road into town is always torn up.
It will be a relief this year when it gets to cold for them to work on the roads and we can get in the car and drive to town without a battle strategy for the route and still finding you can't get there from here. Living north of town this summer has been a trial to everyone's patience and we are ready for a few months without road work. To Contact Sandy: [email protected].

Market View: 23-27 Jul 2012
|23rd -27th JUL 2012
|Market This Week
|Last week being silent and inactive, this week and the coming week will be crucial ones for the markets. With the new president getting elected and a new finance minister likely to join office, the government is bound to take some concrete decisions regarding the long pending reforms and finally deliver what the markets are expecting. Also we would definitely see some positive outcomes coming from the corporate earnings as well. On the negative side, we have weak global cues with news of a huge bailout for Spain and crude moving above $100. The markets also have their eyes on a prospective diesel price rise. Hence the entire environment is that of indecisiveness with key decisions pending. These decisions would create the next market move. Till then we would be on our back foots. Also this week being the expiry week, turmoil can be expected. The markets would be range bound for this week between 5050-5350. Any negative outcome from the government decisions would take us to 5000 on NIFTY. Also remember, that despite the turmoil the FII's are still positive on the Indian growth story(FII data suggests that).

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Image Apparel Institute (IAI) today announced the winners of the prestigious 2014 Image of the Year (IOY) Awards. The industry's highest achievement, the award recognizes the most fashionable, forward thinking and innovative commercial apparel designs.
From colors, logos and tailored fits, businesses are investing in image apparel programs that enhance their brand and the entire customer experience
From colors, logos and tailored fits, businesses are investing in image apparel programs that enhance their brand and the entire customer experience, said Richard Lerman, President and CEO of the IAI. In fact, a recent Harris Poll revealed that nearly 65 percent of U.S. adults said that seeing employees in image apparel programs has a positive impact on their perception of a company. This year's winners are a dynamic group of companies that have created a competitive business edge by placing a strong focus on imagewear.
The 13 winning programs were selected by an independent panel of judges representing a cross section of the fashion industry's most celebrated designers, journalists and fashion authorities. Winners will be honored during the joint North American Association of Uniform Manufacturers & Distributors (NAUMD)/IAI Annual Banquet and Awards Dinner in Las Vegas.
This year's IOY winners by category include:
Hotels Single Unit: St. Regis NYC by Cintas
St. Regis NYC asked Cintas to create a uniform with a distinguished look to complement the property's rich heritage and the brand's legacy. Most importantly, they wanted the uniform to be functional for employees. Cintas designed a truly luxurious uniform program that is both innovative and contemporary by combining different fabrics and textures. Inspired by the Russian military uniforms of the Tsar late XIX century period, Cintas used slimmer lines, experimental juxtapositions of various textures and a monochromatic colour palate with strong accents.
Hotels Multi-Unit: Hyatt Corporation by Cintas
Hyatt's goal was to continue to have a unique uniform program with a branded label. Hyatt and Cintas brainstormed to invent the perfect collection of contemporary styling, modern minimalism and unique signature apparel. Cintas' Design and Merchandising teams collaborated with AR RED brand a newly established contemporary division of Austin Reed London to develop a new branded suiting collection.
Restaurants Fine Food: Kelsey's by Unisync Group
With approximately 300 locations across Canada, Kelsey's wanted to design a streamlined program for its neighborhood bar and grill that was energetic, sociable, preppy and a little bit sexy, while allowing the employees the versatility to visually express themselves and show off a bit of their personality. With scoop and V-necks and a variety of colors, the program is welcoming without being too sexy.
Restaurants Quick Service (tie): Wendy's by Barco Uniforms
Barco collaborated with Wendy's to create a uniform program that stands up to Wendy's promise, using the best ingredients. It includes high-performance fabrics, advanced technology for soil-release and moisture wicking mixed with styling that has a young, active attitude. The result is new look for Wendy's that is fresh, hip and energetic, yet, functional, durable and comfortable.
Restaurants Quick Service (tie): Carl's Jr/Hardees by Aramark Uniform Group
Carl's Jr and Hardees wanted to consolidate the separate company logos and build on the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. image. Aramark branded the uniform program with the Happy Star logo to tie the company and the marketing goals together, creating a stronger brand identity. The Carl's Jr and Hardee's Crew Program includes a red camp shirt and a retro-style bowling shirt with contrasting black accents. The program also includes two outerwear options. The FusionTec jacket features a bonded fleece liner, polyester outer layer and stripes across the shoulders and down the sleeves for a sporty style. The new Three-Season ProFit Jacket is wind and rain resistant with ripstop side panels and a fleece lining for protection, durability and comfort.
Transportation People: Virgin America by Affinity Apparel
Affinity Apparel helped Virgin America celebrate their fifth anniversary of operations in style by launching an exciting new uniform program. In partnership with Banana Republic, Affinity collaborated throughout the design process. Core pieces for men include military-inspired short or long sleeve woven shirts paired with a classic pleated or a more modern fitting flat front pant. Ladies core items also include short or long sleeve woven shirts, featuring princess seams and a covered placket with custom red edge piping. The collection also features men's and ladies' leather jackets. Both styles consist of soft, lambskin leather with durable, polyester twill lining.
Cruise Lines: Holland America by Cintas
This exclusive program is a voyage into fashion that transitions Holland America from classic elegance to a vanguard style for a new era. Every uniform is designed with an exclusive venue or area in mind. Form and function strike a balance which makes the garment an integral part of the interior, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the guest experience.
Healthcare: Banner Healthcare by Superior Uniform Group
Banner Health's biggest goal was to keep all departments across its health system standardized for easy-to-recognize employees, while also creating a visual way to identify departmental employees. Banner Health dressed each department in a unique garment that coordinated with the entire uniform program to increase patient confidence and promote a unified image.
Gaming: SugarHouse Casino by Arrow Uniforms
SugarHouse Casino was looking for a program that kept in line with not only the heritage of the former refinery but also the trendy city feel of Philadelphia. The program incorporates its look and feel from the former sugar refinery that once was on the site location and includes casual untucked shirt hems with faux fold up cuffs on the sleeves. It also utilizes a logoed ribbon and signature (sugar like) brocade that is used widely within the casino.
Entertainment: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter by Universal Orlando
Uniforms were needed to immerse team members and guests alike in the environment for the Islands of Adventure. The uniform program needed to be the kinetic art within the esthetic art of the land, as well as true to the film, but also work in the Florida weather. For example, the bar proprietor at Hogshead Pub is dressed to service in his ethnic kilt and mock fur vest.
Retail Establishments: BP Oil by Affinity Apparel
BP Corporate wanted a uniform program to build brand recognition around BP and its new Driver Rewards customer loyalty program, portraying a consistent message across their thousands of site level locations. Affinity's Product Development team designed a custom performance polo shirt offered in male and female styling, long and short sleeve options. Affinity also designed a Snap-on promotional piece that can be added to any of BP's existing custom name badges.
Retail Establishments/Non Food (tie): Chase Bank by Lands' End Business Outfitters
The Chase Apparel program with Lands' End Business Outfitters provides uniforms to 58,000 participating employees in more than 5,600 retail branch locations nationally. All products offered in the Chase program were developed with easy care in mind. From the Washable Wool suiting separates to performance treatments including; anti-pilling on sweaters and no-iron on pinpoints/broadcloth dress shirts. The assortment color story is blue and black per Chase brand guidelines. The collection includes a wide variety of styles, fits and finishes as well as pops of color from the 100 percent Chase custom accessories selection including silk ties and scarves, cufflinks and tie bars.
Retail Establishments/Non Food (tie): Huntington Bank by TwinHill

Hi Jayne,
Here are the trial shots I took today. What I was thinking was to keep a clean, light look, and use this amazing window as a backdrop. It will give us a clean, dreamy, romantic and light look, which I think will frame your millinery items.
Let me know your feedback!

My name is C. Howard Diaz. I am an American of Mexican descent. I am not Latino; I am not a Hispanic; I am not Mexican-American. There is a difference. Congress encouraged the creation of Latinos, Hispanics, and other hyphenated names for Americans.
I grew up in South Central LA, in a broken home and as an "ethnic" minority. I am not a university graduate, but I did graduate from high school. I have lived a pretty good life because I'm not stupid and do not lack common sense. I do have the brains that God gave me.
I grew up believing that being American was the best thing that could happen to a person. To my parents, being Mexican only signified the country from which they migrated. They migrated to come to the land of freedom and opportunity.
I remember movies that portrayed immigrants arriving from Europe and seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time. Actors like Spencer Tracy played characters whose first goal was to learn American English—the language of our liberty. Next, they studied to become citizens, and the day they did was glorious. To be an American was foremost in the mind of the immigrant. Next to being an American, the most important thing was being an individual.
Every success or failure in my life is because I, C. Howard Diaz, a man, did it. Not because I'm an American, not because I'm of Mexican descent, but because America gave me the chance to succeed or fail. And I did it with America's blessing!
I began working at age nine in a tortilla factory. From 6 a.m. to about 8:30 a.m. each morning, I counted corn tortillas into stacks of one dozen as they came off the press. I sold newspapers from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. each night until, at age fifteen, I started working in the produce department of a grocery store. I moved my way up the union shop, starting as an apprentice and later becoming a journeyman. One of my jobs was being a trimmer. A trimmer is the person who keeps the vegetables looking as fresh as possible.
I joined the military at age seventeen and, by age twenty, I became staff sergeant. I was responsible for my own crew of men. I wasn't even old enough to drink with them, but I was their crew chief. After my discharge in 1958, at the age of twenty-one, I joined a company in Los Angeles as a machine shop loader. A "loader" is a guy who carries the heavy materials to the machines. So, basically, I was at the bottom of the ladder.
During the following three years, I was promoted from loader to expediter, to coordinator, to lead coordinator, and finally to production control supervisor. During my sixth year with the company, I was passed over for a promotion that I deserved. So I decided to leave the company.
After a short stint in the bar business, I was hired as a manufacturing production control planner and, within three months, I was promoted to management systems analyst. A few months later, I was promoted to inventory control manager. At that point, my former boss's boss offered me a job as supervisor of fabrication control for a company that built helicopters. I took the job and, three months later, was promoted to general supervisor of fabrication control. I supervised 350 people.
Later in life, I founded and ran a consulting company and published a semitechnical magazine that was read in twenty-two countries. I have traveled extensively to South Korea and Canada as a consultant.
Throughout my life, I've never thought of myself as anything but a man who had been given the same opportunity that is given to every American—the chance to succeed. I have never been ashamed of being of Mexican descent and have never felt any prejudice against me.
While trying to analyze why I never felt any prejudice against me, I've come to some conclusions.
When my mother came to the United States, she was only six years old, and my grandparents settled in a part of Los Angeles that was predominantly white. As a result, I learned English as my first language. These factors facilitated the development of my human abilities.
My parents didn't move into a barrio. They learned and accepted English as their language. They assimilated.
Back then, there were no schools that taught in Spanish; the government created that.
There were no signs in Spanish; the government created that.
I got my first jobs (before and after the military) without equal opportunity employers and affirmative action; the government created that.
I was accepted because I wasn't an adult that walked around saying, "Orale, man, Que pasa?" The government created that too.
When I was passed over for promotion, I didn't claim prejudice or racism; the government created that.
No prejudice was ever shown against me because in my heart and soul I was and am an American. I believe prejudice lies in the heart of the beholder.
I have been fortunate enough to travel to South Korea on several occasions. On my first visit, I was the guest of Samsung, one of the largest corporations in Korea. During that visit, I went to a city called Kumi to tour a telecommunications assembly plant. Kumi is about three hours southeast of Seoul by train.
In Kumi, I exited the train station and looked out on the streets filled with people. I felt something different. At first it was a funny feeling. Then it struck me; I was the only American in a street filled with hundreds if not thousands of Koreans. This was the first time in my life where I was the only American in such a large crowd.
Later, on the train back to Seoul, I started to reflect on things I had seen but not given any thought to while traveling, like the time I was sitting in the bar of the Shilla, one of Seoul's finest five-star hotels. I noticed a German fellow and a Frenchman talking to the bartender, who was Korean. I observed that the German couldn't speak French or Korean, the Frenchman couldn't speak German or Korean, and the Korean couldn't speak German or French. They were communicating in English, and I felt a feeling of pride when it hit me—English, our language, is used by the world to communicate.
If you do much traveling, there is another fact you quickly learn. There is only one currency that will never be turned down, no matter where you are: the American dollar, (at least back then).
I started comparing the difference between a country like Korea, a homogeneous society with one race and nationality, and America. In America we aren't the melting pot we used to be, but we are a multiracial, multinational country. I asked myself, "What does an American look like?"
An American can be white, black, red, brown, or yellow. An American can have blond hair, black hair, kinky hair, or straight hair. In short, you cannot indentify an American by his or her physical traits.
If there is no physical trait that identifies an American, then it must be something else, possibly a frame of mind. It could be an idea or a philosophy we live by, an attitude toward a way of life, with a little conceit and arrogance about being American—a pride.
What amazed me was that it took traveling outside the United States before I really started to think about what was happening inside the United States. If you are anything like me, when you return to the US, you feel a certain pride in being an American. You can feel good, that is, until you get home and listen to the news, pick up the local newspaper, or turn on the TV.
There are certain so-called Americans who have become racially motivated minority groups and are tearing at the fabric of America. Instead of a melting pot, we are becoming more of an egg separator. Factions professing that heritage is more important than being American are unknowingly—or worse, knowingly—dividing America into ethnic or racial groups.
It seems some people only care about taking from America and not giving anything back. Not even being proud enough to call themselves Americans first, they hyphenate their nationality by placing an ethnic nationality reference before the word American.
These people are predominantly Afro-American and Mexican-American. They claim ethnic heritage is more important than American heritage. Instead of assimilating the American thought, the American way, and the American dream, they place their ethnicity above being American, and still use all that America has to offer. They reject American heritage.
As an American of Mexican descent, I was born in America and I was taught and believe George Washington was a hero. Today's hyphenated Americans must reject that premise and believe they need to be taught of some other heroes. They demand bilingual education as a better option for their hyphenated American children. The worst possible thing the American educational system can do is graduate a student who cannot speak English fluently.
When Irish, Germans, French, Jews, Koreans, Chinese, or most other nationals migrate to America, they don't demand to be taught in their languages. Today, Americans of Asian descent aren't demanding to be taught in their language, and they are consistently the top performers in our scholastic system. Is it that they think becoming an American is the most important thing in their life, important enough to leave their country in favor of the land of freedom?
Why is there so much support for today's hyphenated Americans to be brainwashed into believing it's most important to be a hyphenated American? Why aren't they being encouraged to assimilate? In doing what they are doing, they not only destroy their children's chances but also add unnecessary costs to our educational system by claiming ethnic-heritage education is required for self-esteem.
I'm an American with a last name of Diaz, and I have enough self-esteem for a dozen people. But then, I'm proud of being an American. I'm proud of being of Mexican descent. I grew up eating beans and tortillas for breakfast lunch and dinner, right next to steak, meatloaf, and fried chicken.
When it comes to teaching a child reading, writing, and arithmetic, it doesn't make any difference where the child's parents were born. Yet certain educators say they can't teach all kids out of the same book. What does a child's ethnicity have to do with American history, with grammar, with math, or with science?
Being born American or becoming a naturalized citizen should not be the totally free ride it has become. It is said America gives many freedoms to all when it should say America gives many freedoms to all who embrace her.
The last time anyone tried to divide America, a civil war was fought and Americans killed Americans to keep this nation intact. Yet these so called Afro- and Mexican-Americans do nothing but preach division. They and their supporters believe history must be revised to include a point of view other than American.
They try to belittle America's history by making the white male European connection sound chauvinistically racist. They completely forget that the white European male-dominated Constitutional Convention created the very document that allows them the freedom to make those ridiculous charges. They forget that the white European male-dominated explorers helped carve the greatest nation in the world.
If this experiment had not happened, and succeeded, all those who are complaining would be bowing down to a king or sacrificing virgins to some sun god at noon on a daily basis. If we allow them to demean American history, we are allowing them to demean the very core of what it means to be American.
Even though our Constitution is the primary cause of American success, it has been under assault for decades. The more we distance ourselves from the Constitution, the worse America's future becomes.
I decided to interpret the Bill of Rights as I, one of the people, read and understand it. The ruling class, the elites, the intellectuals, and the academics will scoff at my views, but this had to be written. You have just read the Preface to my book, "A Charter of Negative Liberties, Defining the Bill of Rights and Other Commentary."
Editor's First TV Interview
What you are about to watch is my first interview as the editor of Speak Up America. I found it as we were cleaning out a storage/office building we have on our property. I haven't seen this in years, in fact I had forgotten about it. I knew I had been interviewed, but I forgot about this particular show.
I won't say any more about it because the show explains itself. I will say, in the history of Speak Up America, this show is an important event.

No DVI-D Signal on computer start up-
Hello all,
I had a problem when out of the blue, my Viewsonic VG2230wm LCD monitor, started to show blank screen untill windows 7 loaded.
When windows loaded, it got stuck at 640*480 res.
However, when pluggin in with an analog display cable, all worked fine ( but still no native res
1680*1050 ).
So, I booted up with this analog cable ( had no analog port on ATI HD 5800 series, so I used the DVI to Analog converting little dongle ).
When windows loaded, on analog display, I changed res. to some friendly 1024*768.
Then without turning anything off ( PC or Screen ), unplugged the analog cable.
Plugged in the DVI cables on monitor and Pc.
Waited a second..
Voila.. it automatically turned on as 1680*1050
Then turned off the system, just to check if all was ok permenantly... Did a shutdown. Restarted again, and all is still OK.
Can see BIOS, bootup and everything with the DVI cable .. again...
The occasion when all this happened was, our cleaning lady pulled the computer a bit too far and stretched the DVI cable too much.. bending and partially dismantleing them from jacks.
When I plugged them back, all was like hell.. Even thought my graphic cards port or monitor port got damaged.. but.. I guess not.
Hope this helps.
Do your own cleaning from now on, ha !!!

Fortunately I graduated high school nearly six(!!!) years ago so I'm not exactly up-to-date with what happens at school these days, but I do know that at my school they were able to control your appearance in so many different ways. Boys weren't allowed their hair to even touch their shoulders and girls were not supposed to colour their hair (even though we all did). It's erroneous to impose those kinds of arbitrary rules on young people who are already body conscious and trying to figure out who they are. Your hair grows out of your body. It belongs to you and you can do whatever you want with it.
Here's to the rebels who think screw it; nobody's gonna tell me how to wear my hair.

It was on the banks of the Bronx River in 2014, sandwiched between a massive recycling facility and of one of the largest food distribution facilities in the world, Talbot County community leaders Al and Marty Sikes and Richard Marks and Amy Haines discovered Adam Green and his not-for-profit organization Rocking the Boat. Focused on empowering young people from the South Bronx to develop self-confidence, at Rocking the Boat, students work together to build wooden boats, learn to row and sail, and restore local urban waterways, revitalizing their community while creating better lives for themselves. Their motto, kids don't just build boats at Rocking the Boat, boats build kids.
Wondering if a similar program could be introduced in our community to benefit high school students here, Al Sikes invited Adam to visit and meet with other leaders of youth serving organizations. Encouraged by Adam's response after visiting and YMCA of the Chesapeake's offer to provide space and support, an advisory board was formed that included key personnel from the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, Talbot Mentors and Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy. The name Take the Helm was chosen and Robbie Gill, the CEO of the Y, organized a bus trip for members of the new advisory board, staff from the YMCA and a few students to see the program in the Bronx firsthand. Rocking the Boat Founder and Director Adam Green, retained as a consultant to Take The Helm, spoke about the new program in Talbot County. " I've hosted plenty of people from different communities over the years hoping to create a program similar to our Program in the Bronx, Al and Richard and the team they've assembled in Talbot County is first class and I have no doubt, they'll find success".
Take the Helm is a boat-building program designed to engage high-school students in a hands-on, skill based enrichment program that utilizes the art of wooden boat building to strengthen student's self-confidence, sense of community and teamwork, and to empower them to achieve their dreams. Take the Helm participants will build wooden boats from the ground up that will help them develop a range of technical skills that are highly transferable to both the academic and working worlds. From studying building plans to assembling, building and launching the boats into local waters, students will learn the ins and outs of wooden boat building in a working, team environment.
While boat-building lies at the core of the program, it is also used as a vehicle to enhance the personal and professional lives of these students. Participants will climb a ladder of increasing responsibility and learn about current and future opportunities, including college and career paths; gain access to social and academic services; and both set and accomplish personal and educational goals.
Located at the Easton Family YMCA, The program will be open to all high school students (grades 9-12) in the Talbot County area, whether they are a YMCA member or not. The program will launch the week of January 9, 2017 and will run as an after school program. The program is free for all participants.
To learn more about Take the Helm and how to get involved, contact Adam Hollis at 410-822-0566 or email at email@example.com

Every country has its must-see sights. Italy has countless, but one that every traveler heading to the country knows is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Don't let a tour guide or a pamphlet educate you on this historic monument. You can learn all the Leaning Tower of Pisa facts you need in this guide, before you go!
For more tips before your Italian vacation, check out this course on basic travel phrases in Italian, and this guide full of historic, cultural, and geological facts about Italy.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa wasn't always called that. Originally, it was just the Tower of Pisa, or the Torre di Pisa. It name is based on its location in the Pisa province of Tuscany, a district of central Italy known for its vast influence on high Italian culture, the arts and sciences, and also as the place where the Italian Renaissance first got its start.
The tower itself is a campanile, while is a bell tower. The word campanile derives from the word campana, which means "bell." While it can also be referred to as a belfry, this term is thought of as incorrect because belfries are usually small substructures part of a larger building, such as a church or cathedral, that hold bells. Meanwhile, a campanile specifically means a freestanding bell tower.
The Tower of Pisa got its tilt – and became the Leaning Tower of Pisa – because it was built on soft ground and thus did not have a strong foundation. This actually began during construction of the tower all the way back in 1173, but the tower began to lean further and further for decades as the tower was being built. It was finally stabilized in the 20th and 21st centuries, meaning the tower hopefully won't completely collapse anytime soon! (If it's any solace, the tower's been fine for the past 841 years!)
Looking to take photos of the tower when you're there? Check out this course on travel photography, and learn more useful photography tips and techniques in this course.
Who built the tower?
Historians can't say for sure who built the Tower of Pisa. No, this isn't because the architect was too embarrassed to own up to that now infamous tilt! The records just aren't exactly clear. In 1820, historians found a piece of cast at the base of the tower with the name Bonanno Pisano written on it. Pisano was an artist and a bronze caster residing in Pisa during the 12th century, and may be the architect of the tower, but historians have also speculated that the cast with Pisano's name may be part of a bronze door on the tower that was destroyed in 1595.
Another 12th century architect, Diotisalvi, may also be responsible for the tower. However, Diotisalvi was known to sign his works, and because the Tower of Pisa has no such signature, historians remain puzzled by its true architect.
So an architect is one thing, but who actually picked up the tools to build the thing? Diotisalvi is speculated as being part of the tower's physical construction, especially because he worked on other buildings around Pisa that share similar qualities to the tower. Another builder named Gerardo di Gerardo could have taken part, as well as Giovanni di Simone, who – under the Italian sculptor and architect Giovanni Pisano – helped complete the tower's construction.
Interested in architecture? Check out this course on model driven architecture, and this one on an introduction to engineering.
Why does the tower lean?
The Tower of Pisa didn't begin to lean because of a faulty design – at least, not on the part of the actual tower. Rather, the ground it was built on was silty subsoil, an extremely weak foundation that ultimately lead to the tower sinking into the ground – unevenly! The tilt didn't come in until five years after construction had started, in 1178, when architects began to work on the second floor.
Here's a fun fact: if the Republic of Pisa hadn't been at war with Florence, Genoa, and Lucca for nearly an entire century, they would have continued building on the tower before the soil foundation had been allowed to settle. If that had been the case, we surely wouldn't have the Leaning Tower of Pisa that we have today. In fact, we might not even have it at all – it might have just collapsed completely!
A century later in 1272, construction on the tower continued, but the tilt was still there in full force. The builders actually tried to fix it by engineering the floors on one side taller than the side with the tilt, in an attempt to straighten it out. This didn't work, but it did give the tower its infamous curve. Construction stopped again and resumed nearly a century later in 1319.
Buildings in the modern era don't usually take centuries to build. The Tower of Pisa was constructed over a period of 199 years! It's funny to think about how old the foundation of the tower is compared to its upper floors – it's a century older, at the least, than the rest of the building. Luckily, a restoration phase between 1990 to 2001 helped strengthen the foundation and touch up the building's surface.
Technical Facts
If you're more interested in the engineering than the history of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, here are some technical facts about the actual structure!
- Height from ground floor: 183 feet, 3 inches – 8 stories / 55.863 metres
- Height from foundation: 191 feet, 5.64 inches / 58.36 metres
- Outer base diameter: 50 feet, 9.6 inches / 15.484 metres
- Inner base diameter: 24 feet, 2.1 inches / 7.368 metres
- Slant angle: 3.97 degrees / 12 feet, 10 inches / 3.9 metres from the vertical
- Elevation of Piazza del Duomo: 6 feet / 2 metres
- Weight: 16,200 short tons / 14,700 metric tons
In addition to all this, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has a total of seven bells, and 296 steps to the top.

Injured by hazardous waste? Premises injury liability attorneys in Atlanta understand the potential serious effects of exposure or direct contact with harmful materials. As a result, you may be able to file a premises accident injury claim seeking compensation.
Determining who is at fault for a property accident isn't always easy. There may be more than one source responsible, for instance. In some cases, it may not be clear who is at fault.
There are several possibilities of parties that may be liable depending on the circumstances of your case. The following are some of the parties who may be liable:
- companies that improperly store, dispose of, or use hazardous waste;
- manufacturers who make dangerous products;
- government (state or federal) responsible for exposure;
- homeowners and property owners who fail to clean up chemicals;
- employers (you may be unable to file a claim because of workers' compensation laws); and
- other professionals who are negligent (engineers, real estate brokers, architects, engineers, etc.).
An attorney will need to examine the facts in your case, taking into consideration state and local laws that may apply. If hazardous waste has resulted in you or someone you love suffering serious or fatal injuries or illness, you may have the right to hold the responsible party accountable.

Any 40s wardrobe is not worth it's salt without a jerkin. This overlooked wardrobe staple features heavily in home sewing pattern collections and sears catalogs from 1941 on wards. No wonder, as it is useful and smart and slimming. A war-time favourite, it had the "big shoulder" look that was around (they actually called it that) and didn't take too much fabric, it didn't restrict movement, and kept your blouse clean if you were doing messy work, or prolonged the life of a blouse or dress that had seen better days The colour is a lovely tomato red in a square weave. We've added a large self covered button made by the last old factory in the UK still doing such things. It is an easy care polyester, so great for busy days and travelling. We've named the Martha collection after Shona's great grandmother, a real adventurer, who followed her children out to New Zealand after her husband retired. Now that is some trip to make later in life. We think the Martha set is all about adventuring, even if it is a bit more urban than a pilgrimage on a sailing ship to a new land. Just look at the pockets! They are big enough for all your days equipment: getting jobs done, making notes, or carrying important documents while travelling the high seas to start a new life. Vintage credentials and other points to note: Inspired from a vintage pattern (we have modernised the fit and the construction but not the style) Darts from the shoulder Suitable for war-time renactors Self covered button in the authentic style Machine washable 100% easy care polyester 2 useful pockets

These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
Fast-forward progress: Leveraging tech to achieve the global goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) adopted in 2015 invite global action by 2030 in three overarching areas: end poverty, combat climate change and fight injustice and inequality. Today we see ICT as a powerful enabler for each of the 17 goals, and an essential catalyst in driving rapid transformation of nearly every aspect of our lives.
The Commitment to Development Index 2017
Center for Global Development
The Commitment to Development Index ranks 27 of the world's richest countries on policies that affect more than five billion people living in poorer nations. Because development is about more than foreign aid, the Index covers seven distinct policy areas: Aid, Finance, Technology, Environment, Trade, Security, Migration. Why does Commitment to Development matter? In our integrated world, decisions made by rich countries about their own policies and behaviour have repercussions for people in developing nations. At the same time, greater prosperity and security in poorer countries benefit the whole world. They create new economic opportunities, increase innovation, and help reduce risks posed by public health, security, and economic crises. The Commitment to Development Index (CDI) celebrates countries whose policies benefit not only themselves, but also the development of others, and promote our common good.
Global Trends Report: Forced Displacement in 2016
Over the past two decades, the global population of forcibly displaced people has grown substantially from 33.9 million in 1997 to 65.6 million in 2016, and it remains at a record high (see Figure 1). Most of this increase was concentrated between 2012 and 2015, driven mainly by the Syrian conflict. But this rise also was due to other conflicts in the region such as in Iraq and Yemen, as well as in sub-Saharan Africa including Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, and Sudan. The increase of recent years has led to a major increase in displacement: from about 1 in 160 people a decade ago to 1 in 113 today. Although still at a record high at the end of 2016, the growth in the number of people who have been forcibly displaced has slowed for the first time in recent years. However, large numbers of people were on the move in 2016 and affected by forced displacement, with many people newly displaced as well as large numbers of returning refugees and IDPs.
Five TED Talks that inspired me
Voices WB blog post by Jim Yong Kim
This April, I had the honor of delivering a TED Talk in Vancouver, Canada. TED Talks aim to inspire and spread ideas, and this year's theme – The Future Us – explored what lies ahead for the world. Artificial intelligence, robotics, and other technological advances hold great promise, but these changes are coming at break-neck speed. I'm afraid many of us aren't ready. There's still too much poverty and inequality in the world, and we have a lot of work to provide opportunities for everyone. A grave concern is that millions, or potentially billions, of poor people could be left behind as we enter a new industrial age. Too many people in developing countries lack access to quality education, nutrition, health care, and the opportunity to reach their potential. Yet, their aspirations for a better life are rising. We must find ways to help our clients meet these aspirations or risk more frustration, migration, and conflict. In a nutshell, this is what I talked about on the TED stage. To prepare, I watched a number of other TED Talks by World Bank Group colleagues and alumni, scientists, authors, economists, and technologists.
These 3 barriers make it hard for policymakers to use the evidence that development researchers produce
Washington Post
In international development, the "evidence revolution" has generated a surge in policy research over the past two decades. We now have a clearer idea of what works and what doesn't. In India, performance pay for teachers works: students in schools where bonuses were on offer got significantly higher test scores. In Kenya, charging small fees for malaria bed nets doesn't work — and is actually less cost-effective than free distribution. The American Economic Association's registry for randomized controlled trials now lists 1,287 studies in 106 countries, many of which are testing policies that very well may be expanded. But can policymakers put this evidence to use?
Stop blaming poor countries' poverty on corruption—sometimes it's just bad luck
There was a time when the predominant view worldwide as to why poor people and countries were poor involved the circumstances they were in—they lacked the money for the roads, factories, and power that would spur industrialization, or the education and healthcare that would make them productive. But, in the rich world at least, views have shifted. Now it is a commonplace argument that the reason poor countries are poor is because of the moral failings of the people who live there—governance that doesn't work, perhaps driven by a "culture of corruption." More than half of respondents in the UK suggested in a recent poll that that the single most important reason poor countries are poor is because of corrupt governments. That view of developing countries—and the implied moral superiority of richer countries—is corrosive. Just as "they are lazy" is a justification to slash domestic welfare programs, "they are corrupt" justifies opposing aid or trade reform that might improve prospects for the global poor. And it doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
