Logo can be represented as an imagination, name, identity of the business, place, symbols or authority; as many centuries ago it was started as the representation of something unique, blissful or imaginary of its own kind & symbols were considered unique, power of God, Conquerors identity, or symbols as the positive source.
A logo, if put simply, is a graphic or visual representation of an organization. It is a mixture of some text, symbols and an image. Logos are used to represent some company or place and make it distinct from one another. Take the example of a hospital, no two hospitals will have the same logo as there has to be some sort of distinction between the two. Most hospitals will have the Red Cross or a moon symbol in their logos to represent a hospital but they add other symbols or images as well.
A logo, in this modern era, is quite important as there are a lot of companies working in the same field which causes a lot of competition between them. Having a creative and professional logo works to one's advantage as it will make them stand out from among a crowd and will leave an impression on their audience. A logo, you can say, is not simply a combination of colors, symbols and text. It actually represents what your company is about. Depending on the type of fonts, colors and images used in your logo, it also shows what type of company it is. If your company is a finance, banking type of company, your logo will look better if it uses black and white, or dark colors and straight, block fonts. This is not a must, but that is what most business logos look like. If it is a cosmetics company, it would be much better if your logo has shades of pink, purple, red or white and stylish font to show that it is a cosmetics company. And green looks best on environmental companies whose focus is preserving and saving the environment and natural resources.
Logo designing is done by graphic designers and is a time-taking process but a fruitful one depending on the logo designer and his experience in that particular field. Designing a logo may take as long as days to weeks and in some cases, even months. It is a challenging task for graphic designers and not every graphic designer can make a successful logo. And that is why it is important to choose a logo designer carefully so that your company can get recognition based on your logo. You must be careful not to choose an amateur logo designer and choose a professional logo designer. There are some websites that offer affordable logo designing services and those might be best for you depending on your wants and needs.
A logo has become a very important part of an organization and companies without logos, although very rare or maybe none, don't tend to prosper. But just because you have a logo doesn't mean you're bound to succeed. It is important to have a good logo. Whether you own a food company or a toy company, it is essential that you represent your company with a good logo.
A logo, among many things, can also be a vision of what your company aims to be. It is like defining your goals through your logo and giving your audience a guarantee that you will try your utmost best, to achieve this goal. This, in a way, causes your audience to place their trust in you since you are being honest and open with them about your goals and meaning.
The best thing a logo can do for you is to earn your brand recognition. Let's take the example of a popular company like Nike. They, not only managed to design a creative, efficient logo but succeeded in earning brand recognition. And now, whenever someone sees a swish symbol on some item, they automatically think about Nike. A logo, in this way, ensures that your company is remembered by your customers even if your brand name doesn't lie everywhere. It will be enough for your logo for them to recognize you.

There is massive and then there is … massive! And believe me when I say that this is a stupendous in its proportions piece. I am used to these pendants having a Los Ballesteros signature but this one is not by them. It is nonetheless one of the most amazing "mask" jewelry I have handled to date. The carving in the amethyst face is deep and carefully done, the color of the stone rich and saturated, the "beehive" silver frame that houses it sheer perfection and the chain, oh, that alone would be a coveted piece. Last but not least, patina, patina, patina…
Size/Weight: pendant is 2 7/8″ tall (not including the bail) by 2 1/2″ wide; with the bail it adds a 3 1/4″ drop to the chain; chain itself is 21″ long with its diameter approx. 1/4″; 124.7 grams (for the set; 73.5 grams for the pendant; 51.2 grams for the chain)
Hallmarks / Date: partial marks on the pendant "STERLING 925"; chain is marked "SILVER 925"; I will suggest 1940s-50s because of the partial hallmarks though I believe the set is probably pre-1948
Condition: excellent vintage with the most amazing patina ever, massive, eye-catching, a pleasure to wear and to behold, with an absolutely fabulous amethyst mask and no damage or repairs noted
SOLD – Thank you!

Trying to find how to lose weight or how to live healthier is confusing. If you want to look lean many sites have terribly unhealthy advice that have impossible restrictions on life. It should not be this hard! Let's be realistic, It is not healthy nor is it practical to lose a large amount of weight in a short amount of time. The weight was not gained in 30 days. Do not put that pressure on yourself. The infomercials that say "in 30 days you can have a body like this" also say in tiny caption "this person completed 9 rounds of this 30 day program." Ok so call it a 9 month program. If you are struggling with your health or losing weight, here are some myths we can debunk right from the get-go.
Myths that need debunked
I am a nurse who has been spent the majority of my career in an emergency room setting. I see people at their worst. Most of which live chronically ill and come in to be seen when their disease has threatened to take their life.
There has to be a better way to live.
Frustrated seeing people live such poor quality of life I thought to myself, "There must be a better way." There is. I am pursuing my Master's Degree in Family so I can practice functional medicine and help people live a higher quality of life. I am continuing to do my own research and experimenting on myself to see what works that I can validate and what does not seem to work in real life situations. Whether you are ill or want to lose some weight to live healthier I hope you find my website informative and I will provide you with the resources I have used myself.

Spend a luxurious day having fun at the sea and soaking up warm Mediterranean sun. Discover magical secluded bays, coves, beaches and islands around Dubrovnik. Experience freedom of sailing on the deep blue sea waiting to be explored.
Koločep The Evergreen Island of Pine Trees The first stop on our Elaphite Islands tour is the southernmost inhabited island in Croatia, Koločep, locally known as Kalamota. It is the first of three large Elaphiti Islands, and the closest to Dubrovnik (0.6 miles away). Alluring pristine blue waters surround this small and tame island. "No cars and no rush" is the life motto of the local residents, as you will notice the minute we arrive. We will visit one of the Koločep's landmarks, the Blue Cave, which can only be accessed by swimming. With complimentary use of our GoPro camera, you will have the opportunity to capture lifetime memories. Also, complimentary snorkeling equipment is at your disposal. Lopud The Island of Authentic Summer Feel Our next destination is island Lopud, famous for one of the best sandy beaches in the Dubrovnik area, called Šunj. Here, you'll have the opportunity to fully experience a hot and idle summer day you have been longing for a long time! You can choose to stay on the speed boat and get some tan, have complimentary drinks and fruits, or go ashore and explore the island. If you wish, we can also make arrangements for a light lunch in one of the best restaurants on the island. "No cars and no rush" motto applies here, too. Šipan The Island of Fertile Fields The last island we'll visit on our private Elaphite Islands tour is Šipan, the largest and most densely populated among the Elafiti islands. Distinguished by the untouched nature, turquoise blue sea, green olive and pine trees, discreet birds chirping, … it is truly a place of serenity. In a small seaside place Suđurađ, there are two renaissance palaces of the famous ship-owning family Skočibuha. Locals are dedicated to production of the home-made goods, such as wine, olive oil, marmalade, fruits, vegetables… So, if you wish we can organize wine and olive oil tasting. On our way back, will will make a short stop to have a swim and snorkel around the pebble beaches of the small islet called Sikirica.

WASH Entrepreneur Economic Empowerment (WE3)
WASH Entrepreneur Economic Empowerment (WE3)
The WE3 project builds on Global Communities' success training water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Entrepreneurs. While the Ebola crisis was at its peak, a small group of Global Communities' trained WASH entrepreneurs helped in a significant way by repairing hand pumps in clinics and other health facilities in some of the country's hardest-hit counties. By restoring access to water – not only for drinking, but also for infection prevention and control – these WASH Entrepreneurs ensured that facilities had the resources they needed to promote hand washing and safe hygiene practices that could help combat the spread of the disease. The entrepreneurs proved they were more cost-effective and able to more quickly access these clinics than pump mechanics from larger towns farther away.
Having a well-trained cadre of WASH entrepreneurs offers promising potential to provide essential WASH services as Liberia recovers from Ebola and seeks to establish stronger and more sustainable health systems. By providing a market-based model for WASH services, gains made through infrastructure investments and health programming can continue to grow independently even after donor-funded programs are complete. WASH entrepreneurs have demonstrated success by providing localized and affordable services to communities typically left out of the WASH market and through continued training, formalization and investment, these entrepreneurs can better link community demand and private sector supply for WASH services in Liberia.
With support from ExxonMobile and the National Oil Company of Liberia(NOCAL), the program is recruiting and training WASH entrepreneurs in in two underserved districts of Bong County – Suakoko and Panta Kpaai. In coordination with the Government of Liberia and the Ministry of Public Works, entrepreneurs are being rapid trained and deployed to yield immediate benefits to communities. At least 50 percent of new recruits are women. The training includes topics on water pump repair, soap making and sales, environment management for malaria control, job costing, financial management, reinvesting profits, contract management and marketing. In addition, Global Communities is supplying trained and certified WASH entrepreneurs with starter kits for pump repair and soap making.
The activities under the program include assessing communal and institutional WASH facilities in need of repair. In concert with the Ministry of Public Works, entrepreneurs are conducting in-depth assessments on WASH facilities at schools, clinics and in communities that need repairs and rehabilitation. Other key activities under the program include vendor identification and supply chain mapping. Global Communities is working entrepreneurs to identify WASH product vendors, companies and suppliers which vital to ensure the availability of WASH products at all times within target communities to promote sustainability and ownership.

Penrith is a bustling Cumbrian Market Town on the edge of the Lake District. Ullswater is about 20 minutes drive away. At the weekend we parked on the very outskirts and walked in. What immediately strikes a visitor are the many attractive red sandstone houses built from the local sandstone, these give Penrith it's nick name of 'Old Red Town'.
We looked for somewhere to have lunch, away from the general hustle and bustle. I can recommend the church Square which is just off the centre and has several little cafes looking out over St Andrews churchyard. St Andrews church itself is an impressive looking building ,it's tower dating back to the 12th century. And in the churchyard resides a Giants Grave…..
The Giants Grave consists of six tombstones, two ancient crosses standing upright and four lower hogback stones. But who is buried there? One legend has it that it is an ancient Cumbrian King ' Owen' , though it could also be the grave of a great boar hunter ' Sir Owen Caesarius' with the hogback stones representing four large boars. I'm liking the second option! Also in the churchyard is another impressive monument, a Norse Wheel cross known as the Giants Thumb, which until the 19th century was used as a whipping post for punishing local criminals. Very Christian behaviour…..
We had lunch sat outside the Eden Gallery tea rooms, which inside are an eclectic mix of teapots, second hand books & a piano. There is an adorable resident Old English Sheep Dog called Scrumpy and they do a great tuna & cheese panini. 😄
After wandering round the town we headed to Penrith Castle, which can be found up from the centre near the train station. In fact if you arrive in Penrith by train , the red sandstone ruins of this medieval castle are your first view of the town. The once proud fortress helped to defend England from Scottish marauder's and even became the residence of King Richard III. Today the site is looked after by English Heritage and is part of a public park.
On the way back to the car we stopped for cake at a cafe bar called Xavier's. We sat outside , though the cafe like quite a few in Penrith is dog friendly. Good to know for future visits!
Have you ever visited Penrith? What are your impressions?

comcor: your concerns about seat reservations may be un-necessary. Last month I booked two intercity journeys and on both occasions reserved a seat. There was no charge for this (the only add-on was the 2 credit-card charge). I am a bit mystified about the 3 seat reservation charge which is displayed when you click on the fare enquiry button. Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but this seems to be a charge if you are just reserving a seat and not buying a ticket, for example if you already have a return ticket and wish to make sure you get a seat on a busy service.

When news of Donald Trump's election a US President was confirmed early on Wednesday, bike racing might not have been the first thing on your mind. However as we're a cycling website, that's what we're going to talk about, with a look back in the archives and the ill-fated Tour de Trump.
Rewind to May 1989, and this magazine's former editor Robert Garbutt was at the startline of the inaugural Tour de Trump in Albany, experiencing crowds that were compared to those at the Tour de France by the riders.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
Of course the man himself was also at hand to start the race, promising big things for his new enterprise, and despite never having actually been to a bike race before, was impressed by the standard of the racing.
>>> Cycling world reacts with astonishment and horror to Donald Trump's election as US president
"I had never seen a race in America, this is the first race I have witnessed personally, although I always watch the Tour de France on television," Trump said. "I am not a cyclist, but I might become one now. I am amazed.
"New York to Los Angeles is the way we see the race going. Every city on the Eastern seaboard wants the race.
"We may start in Washington, come down the East Coast, then go up to Chicago. People who have been loyal to us in the first year will be treated very well.
"In two years we hope to make it even better than the Tour de France. I think we have got a great chance of expanding the race."
Watch: Donald Trump talks about the 1989 Tour de Trump
And yet two years later, the Tour de Trump was no more. The race itself lived on as the Tour DuPont until 1996 (with none other than Lance Armstrong winning the final two editions), but what limited Trump's involvement to just two years?
His decision to pull out of the race certainly can't have been down to boredom at the racing. Reading race reports of the inaugural edition and fireworks aren't hard to come by.
>>> Never mind Trump or Clinton, California is voting on cycling projects totalling almost $9bn
The 1989 edition of the race was won by Norway's Dag-Otto Lauritzen, but not in the usual circumstances. Lauritzen took a comfortable lead after getting into a break on the second stage, and then extended his lead by attacking through the feedzone on stage four, taking a slender advantage into the final 24-mile time trial.
Lauritzen's main threat came from Eric Vanderaerden, a strong time triallist lurking just 50 seconds in arrears. However, despite riding the course earlier in the day, Vanderaerden followed a motorbike off the wrong turn at a roundabout, handing Lauritzen a comfortable overall win in the process.
Perhaps the decision to withdraw sponsorship may also have been around some of the controversy that surrounded the race, although this certainly isn't something that has deterred the billionaire in recent months.
Mirroring scenes outside many Trump rallies over the last year and a half of the Presidential campaign, anti-Trump protestors set up camp at the Tour de Trump.
"Trump = Anti-Christ" and "Hungry? Eat the Rich" read their signs, but the race paid them scant regard.
The race also almost saw Trump add to his extensive list of lawsuits. After hearing about a small race in Colorado called the Tour de Rump, Trump's lawyers sent Rump's organisers a "cease and desist" letter, threatening to sue. The Tour de Rump organisers replied saying that "we are a little, local event. Leave us alone". And left alone they were.
Instead, the reason for Trump withdrawing his support from the Tour de Trump was, in all likelihood and perhaps not entirely unexpectedly, financial.
Trump's initial decision to sponsor the race was opportunistic, pouncing on the demise of the Coors Classic to create what would be America's biggest bike race. No surprise then that there was no sentimentality when he decided to withdraw sponsorship, concentrating his efforts on reversing the fortunes of a number of his casinos which were in severe financial trouble.
26 years on, and what can the world the world learn from this little corner of the history of Donald Trump? Well if you're not a Trump supporter, and indeed might be scared by some of things that he is promising to deliver, then perhaps you can find hope in that the Tour de Trump didn't become the Tour de France, and not everything that Donald Trump promises to do necessarily comes true.

With shares of Kansas City-based Cerner Corp. (NASDAQ: CERN – $49.20) trading near their lowest levels of the year, the company announced plans to buy back $500 million worth of its common stock. The repurchase would cover 10.3 million shares at prevailing prices, or 3.1% of its shares outstanding. The previous $300 million stock repurchase program approved in March has been completed. Shares of the healthcare information technology company have lost ground recently after a disappointing earnings report and lower guidance. Separately, Cerner announced an agreement with American Well, a leading national telehealth company, to jointly deliver a virtual health care experience that will integrate the American Well platform with Cerner's electronic health record. The integration will enable providers to manage the health and care of patients beyond the walls of the health system.
Cerner remains well positioned to target the large hospital market, and notes that it is having success in winning business from its large competitors, including replacing them in some instances. While the results have disappointed since chosen for aggressive accounts, I will continue to hold on to the shares for recovery.

Jason Butler of NW Brown: Should we be worried about weaker global markets?
PUBLISHED: 12:43 16 October 2018 | UPDATED: 12:52 16 October 2018
Jason Butler of NW Brown examines the recent softening of global markets.
Global markets have been unusually weak recently.
US 10-year treasury bond yields have moved up through the 3% level, breaking a 30-year downward trend and provoking a near-7% drop in the FTSE 100 index over the first few days of October.
Bond yields are important to markets because they are used to discount the future value of cash flows from investments.
All else being equal, higher bond yields or discount rates lower the present value of future cash flows used to value assets.
Higher discount rates are particularly painful for equities that are set to provide returns far into the future.
Arguably, the most sensitive assets in the market are fast-growing US tech stocks.
These have led the market up in recent years but generally lack a dividend and sit on expensive valuations that rely on widespread confidence in their future growth. This makes them vulnerable to higher discount rates and such companies have led the market down in recent days.
If we put things in context, market volatility over the last 12 months follows a period of strong gains.
Global GDP growth has slowed from its recent peak but still holds at a robust 4% year-on-year.
Despite the odd hiccup, one could argue that global growth should continue to rise over the long term through rising populations, continuing innovation and productivity improvements. In turn, equity markets are the ultimate beneficiaries of this growth.
In the meantime, it is important to remember that volatility is not all bad for long term investors.
In particular, it offers the opportunity to take advantage of unusual price swings. The key to long term equity investment remains the ability to stay invested during times of stress.

Being visually impaired may be one of the worst things that can happen to someone. Imagine a life where you are so dependent on a PIECE OF GLASS! You have to carry a massive burden of wearing glasses everywhere u go. If wearing them is not enough, rest assured, it comes with a LONG list of problems you didn't see coming. So here we go..
Imagine what would happen if you forgot where u kept your glasses? Our life comes to a standstill.
Need i say more?
Lost your glasses? well that's it then. You end up bumping each and every corner of your house, bruising yourself in the process!
Why can't they just stay at one place?! how hard could it possibly be?
You can neither swim with your glasses on nor with your contact lenses. Then what are we supposed to do?
What if you tried perfecting your eyeliner for more than an hour? Who will notice it once your glasses are on?
How could anyone be comfortable with an alien piece of plastic stuck to your eye balls that make your itch all day and irritate your eyes?!
Ever had to face a situation where you had to remove you glasses for a cool group photo? Not only did your face looked weird, u didn't know where the camera was to look at it and smile
Drinking that perfect cup of hot chocolate without getting your glasses fogged up is a talent that no one has ever mastered!
and not just by any piece of cloth. It has to be something that will not scratch the surface of the glass because they are so damn fragile!
Fun? Whats so funny about it? U just feel like slamming your fist against their faces!
hahaha.. yeahhh... NO
Umm hello.. I'm not wearing it out of choice!
Have u ever tried to dance as hard as you could just for fun without having your glasses jumping on your face?
Wearing 3D glasses OVER your normal glasses makes things even more complicated!
Apparently people who wear glasses are supposed to be nerds and geeks who have nothing else to do in life other than read books and do other geeky stuff!

Gospel Movie Clip Introduction
The Lord Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice" (Jhn 10:27). Clearly, the Lord is speaking to search for His sheep upon His return. The most crucial thing for Christians to do as they await the coming of the Lord is to seek to hear the voice of the Lord. How is one able to recognize the voice of the Lord, though? What is the difference between the voice of God and the voice of humans?

Clover Field: The First Century of Aviation in the Golden State. With the 100th anniversary in 2017 of the use of Clover Field as a place to land aircraft in Santa Monica, this book celebrates that use by exploring some of the people and aircraft that made the airport great.
Sumpter Smith was born February 12, 1896 at Belle Ellen, AL and educated as an electrical engineer and pilot. He served as a flight instructor during WWI. Portrait, right from a 1938 article in Aviation Magazine, alludes to his career as a designer and builder of airports outlined below.
On August 22, 1917 Smith enlisted as a flying cadet. He was graduated from the Georgia School of Technology ground school and from the Park Field (St. Louis, MO) Primary Flight Training School. He was commissioned on April 4, 1918 as a pursuit pilot.
He was assigned to active duty at Park Field, Love Field (Dallas, TX), Call Field (Wichita Falls, TX), Wilbur Wright Field, (Dayton, OH), Gerstner Field (Lake Charles, LA) and Rockwell Field (San Diego, CA) where he completed his pursuit training. The was then assigned to Ream Field (San Ysidro, CA) where he served as flight instructor in advanced pursuit, combat, aerobatics and gunnery.
While at Ream Field, according to this link to a family-produced Web page, he participated with other Army pilots to form a stunt squad that performed aerobatics over San Diego, CA during the WWI armistice, ca. November 11, 1918. The vignette, left, is from an annotated group photo of the stunt squad posted on right hand side of that page (q.v). Interestingly, the pilots in that photo are, L-R, Haskell Bass, Smith as shown, Dudley Watkins, Jimmy Doolittle and Bill Williams. Besides Smith and Doolittle, Watkins also signed the Davis-Monthan Register: a hat trick! Another photograph from around the same time of Doolittle and four other aviators is at the link. I is difficult to say if the men in this photo are the same ones as on the Smith family link; they are wearing leather helmets which cover some of their features.
Contributor Woodling (cited, right sidebar) shares the following description of the photograph, "The five daring acrobats whose daring skill provided the chief thrill of the day were Lieutenants D. W. Watkins, H. H. Bass, J. H. Doolittle, W. S. Smith, and H. O. Williams, all of Ream Field, who won the right to form the stunt squad in
open competition from a score of the pilots."
Smith landed twice at Tucson. His first visit was Tuesday, October 15, 1929 at 11:00AM. Based at Roberts Field, AL, he arrived carrying Col. U.N. James in the Curtiss O-11 Falcon he identified as 27-1 (this particular airplane was eventually converted to an O-11A). They were west bound from El Paso, TX, Ft. Bliss to San Diego, CA, Rockwell Field.
According to inferences made from the family Web page linked above, Smith was part of a flight of two O-11s. His wingman was John M. "Snake" Donalson who signed the Register just below Smith. Donalson carried as passenger "Capt. H. Smith," who was Sumpter Smith's brother, Hester. At the Smith family's Web page you can read that "Hes" was the navigator of Donalson's ship, and that the purpose of their flight was to attend the National Guard convention at Long Beach, CA. The assumption is that Hes and his brother were attending the same convention, because Sumpter noted his point of origin for his second landing as Long Beach.
Sumpter Smith's second visit was five days later on Sunday, October 20, 1929. He carried the same passenger in the same airplane. As mentioned, they were eastbound from Long Beach, CA, but they did not cite a destination or departure time. Neither did they cite a purpose for their flight, but we know it was to attend National Guard activities at Long Beach, and their destination was back at Roberts Field, AL. Sumpter, a major when we see him at Tucson, was commissioned Lt. Colonel August 12, 1932.
Donalson and Hester did not sign the Register during their return trip. From the family's Web page, we learn the reason why, as follows, "Their time was limited, so on Sunday, they [Donalson & H. Smith] began the long flight back to Alabama.
"Everything went well until nightfall, and it was pitch black. They were supposedly over a new airport [location unspecified], but couldn't see it or find it, as they circled in the night sky. The Curtiss was out of gas and running on fumes, and a discussion ensued where they decided that they would have to bail out, rather than crash land, as the airplane had that tendency to burn.
"At the very last moment, below them, lights came on, and they could see the runway. The pilot immediately dove towards the runway, and landed.
"They found out that the airport had closed for the day, and a janitor was cleaning up. He heard the airplane circling overhead, realized the pilot could not find the airport. Almost unheard of, runway lights were not a common accessory for airports of that day. Luckily, this airport had just installed them, and the janitor knew where the light switch was!
"The next day, they refueled and continued on to Birmingham, arriving back home on Monday without further incident. Hes said that the day they got home, the stock market crashed, ushering in the Great Depression!"
Hester Smith was the navigator on the flight because his eyesight was below the standards required for pilot ratings at the time. Below, an undated photograph of Hester (L) with two unidentified officers and an unidentified woman. Hester wears eyeglasses.
Sumpter Smith followed what might be called a non-standard career path. Instead of progression up the officer ladder with command assignments of increasing responsibility, he went to work in government programs that were at the time invoked to ameliorate the conditions brought on by the Great Depression. He served first as chief liaison officer, then Director, of the Work Projects Administration (W.P.A.), Division of Airways and Airports. The Division operated from 1935-1942.
An interesting route to understanding the evolution of Smith's career is to look at Roberts Field in Birmingham, AL, Smith's home base. As background, Smith was appointed to the Alabama National Guard during September, 1921 and commissioned as a 1st lieutenant (he remained an officer in the National Guard until his call to active duty in 1940, see below). During what follows, Smith also maintained registration as a Professional Engineer in the State of Alabama (#384), and a current civil Transport Pilot license (T-4844).
Roberts Field had its beginnings in 1919, when a group of eleven WWI flyers formed a club named the "Birmingham Escadrille." Their aim was to promote aviation in Birmingham and the State of Alabama. Lobbying by the club convinced the War Department to establish an air National Guard unit, the 135th Observation Squadron, at Birmingham in 1922. Smith was detailed to assist in organizing the Squadron.
The organization grew to 26 officers and 120 enlisted men and the 135th changed its name to the 106th Observation Squadron on January 1, 1924. Smith was commanding the 106th Observation Squadron at Roberts Field in 1929 when he visited Tucson. Among his duties at Roberts was good samaritan work for the surrounding areas of Alabama. For example, under his command in 1929, the Squadron served the State when almost the entire Squadron was ordered to active duty for flood relief in south Alabama. Twenty-five officers and 100 men participated for 14 days and nights, flying approximately 300 hours dropping food and medicine to marooned families . The airdrop of supplies was among the first of its kind in aviation history (see Register pilot Charles Howard for another, later, example).
By 1930, the facilities at Roberts Field were long in the tooth, but the 106th did not have the funds to move or improve. A steady campaign of publicity and pressure on legislative and local government was maintained until it was decided to build new facilities for the Squadron at the Birmingham Municipal Airport as part of a government works project in 1934. About that time, after advocating for the Squadron, Smith was moved to the 31st Division of the Alabama National Guard. It is not clear if he kept his hand in the Roberts Field development project while serving with the 31st.
However, it took nearly four years to complete the construction of the new home of the 106th at the Birmingham Municipal Airport, but in 1938 the Squadron was finally able to move into its new quarters . Eventually, the base was named after Sumpter Smith, lending testimony to his role in its development and construction.
Given his experience with the the politics and planning of military construction projects, in 1935, as mentioned above, Smith was made Director of the Airways & Airports Division of the W.P.A. In that capacity, he was responsible for the improvement, design and construction of a nationwide network of more than 600 airports. On the coattails of that assignment, he was later appointed chairman of the Safety Board of the Civil Aeronautics Authority (C.A.A.). Coincident with his appointment, he was also assigned in an advisory capacity to serve on a C.A.A. board formed to investigate the accident of the Hawaii Clipper piloted by fellow Register pilot Leo Terletzky.
Illustrating his role is the article, below, from the Seattle (WA) Daily Times for Saturday, October 23, 1937. Here Smith shows up with other Air Commerce and W.P.A. officials at Seattle and Portland to evaluate and support the construction of new airport facilities at Portland. Smith is at right in this poor-quality photograph. The banner headline that ran this day read, "W.P.A. TO SPEED PORTLAND AIRPORT WORK."
The Safety Board was another matter. The problem was that he was filling two roles. He chaired the Safety Board and led the National Airport project. Politics prevailed, as indicated in the next couple of unsourced news articles. As background, there were three members of the Board; Smith as chair, C.B. Allen and Tom Hardin. First, from Tuesday, May 7, 1940.
The president had a secret conference with congressional leaders the other day over reorganization
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, at which he told them that one big reason for reorganization was to end a fierce, disruptive feud inside the Air Safety Board. This autonomous agency is the focal point of
the fight over CAA. Roosevelt's opponents claim that if the Air Safety Board is robbed of its independence, the safety of air transportation will suffer.
But according to Roosevelt, this is exactly what will happen unless the Air Safety Board is forcibly revamped. He told the congressmen that the internal war among the three members had reached such a pitch as to impair the agency's effectiveness. The president's story of the ASB ruckus was as follows: Trouble started when Sumpter Smith, then chairman, became ill In February, 1939, and C. B. Allen, a former New York aviation writer, was appointed to a vacancy on the Air Safely Board. Within a few weeks, Allen teamed up with the third member, Tom Hardin, vice president of the Airline Pilots Association" (AFL) and these two virtually took over the agency.
They set about reorganizing the board's administrative machinery and firing friends of Sumpter Smith. Smith fought back, but Allen and Hardin held an election, deposed Smith as chairman and put Hardin in his place. Smith rushed to the White House with the cry that the election was illegal. Then his two
rivals accused him of violating the Civil Aeronautics Act by holding the chairmanship of the government committee supervising construction of the Capital's new airport. Smith indignantly denied this, saying he had an official ruling permitting him to hold the additional post.
Firing back, Allen and Hardin asserted that Smith had not agreed with them in one single report on a major, airplane accident, so that every report made by the ASB was a split opinion. Smith countered that this wasn't his fault, but his opponents'; they should have agreed with him.
The feud finally reached such a stage that Hardin and Allen refused to permit Smith to look at the transcript from which the board's minutes are compiled, because they said he had a secret understanding with the stenographer to take down their off-the-record remarks.
The president also told the congressional leaders that the Air Safety Board repeatedly has clashed with the Civil Aeronautics Authority and was at loggerheads with the aviation industry. "For the sake of efficiency and for the best interests of the industry," he said in effect, "it is absolutely necessary that this situation be cleaned up. It can't be allowed to go on. This personal feud has completely demoralized the Air Safety Board.'
Some things never change. Next, from Friday, May 24, 1940.
WASHINGTON—The department of commerce is on the spot. It was put there by 46 senators, who voted for President Roosevelt's reorganization plan No. IV and threw the independent Civil Aeronautics Authority back into the department. The situation was this: Two years ago, after more than three years of wrangling, investigating and lobbying, the McCarrin-Lea bill knocked out the
Bureau of Air Commerce (then in the commerce department) and set up the independent CAA. Although it is not generally known, this really was one of Jimmy Roosevelt's babies when he was secretary to his father.
The CAA was made up of a five-man board, whose duties consisted principally of establishing rules, regulations and standards; an administrator in charge of the physical set-up of the bureaus of
federal airways, safety regulation, private flying and certificate inspection; and the three-man air safety board, charged independently with investigating all accidents, determining their cause and reporting to the CAA board for action.
On March 29, 1940, less than two years after this new agency started functioning, the commercial
airlines established the comparatively amazing record of flying 87,300,000 miles, carrying more than
2.000,000 passengers, -without a single fatal accident.
On April 11, while the bouquets still were showering down, the president tossed his little bombshell:
Reorganization Plan No. IV, which abolishes the air safety board entirely, and puts the CAA back into
the commerce department. Under the law, unless BOTH houses of congress vetoed the plan within
60 days, it was to become effective. The hullabaloo that this order raised almost knocked the dome off the capitol. The scrap, for weeks, shared editorial honors with the war in Europe. The house of representatives, where such critical downpours are felt (especially in election year) hastened to vote on the order and opposed it by the healthy vote of 232 to 153.
The senate, aware of the seriousness of the matter, took two days out to debate it, even after the long hearings in committee. It was in the heat of these arguments, coupled with the vote that upheld the order, that the department of commerce was put on the spot. Dire things have been predicted for aviation. It's charged that the order is a kickback to the days when the infant transportation industry was a political football with human lives the stake. Let one fatal accident occur in commercial aviation after June 11, when the new order becomes effective, and there'll be an investigation from here to Borneo.
What actually was behind the order is another of those capital mysteries that may never be solved.
The president said simply that it was to effect economy, more adequate supervision, and eliminate friction that now exists in CAA. C. B. Allen, former New York newspaperman, and Tom Hardin, ace pilot, will lose their jobs when the safety board is abolished (Sumpter Smith, other member, already had resigned to become director of the national airport). Allen has his own private explanation for the order. "My mother," says Allen, "always was very proud of me. Everytime I took a step up the ladder or achieved some little success she'd say 'I knew it, son, you are going a long way.' But never in her wildest dreams did she ever think I would reach such heights that the president of the United States would burn a house down just to get me out of it."
Below, from the Library of Congress (LOC), Sumpter Smith (L) and his nemesis, Tom Hardin after their assignments to the Safety Board on August 22, 1938. At least they're not pointing fingers at each other, yet.
Indeed, Smith had been asked by President Roosevelt to resign his position with the Civil Aeronautics Authority in order to devote full-time as chairman (as well as engineering projects officer) on the commission to build Washington National Airport. The New York Times of November 22, 1939, below, left, documented his resignation. The ceremonial ground breaking for Washington National was on November 21, 1938. Further, president Roosevelt split authority into two agencies in 1940, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). CAA was responsible for Air Traffic Control, airman and aircraft certification, safety enforcement, and airway development. CAB was entrusted with safety rulemaking, accident investigation, and economic regulation of the airlines. Both organizations were part of the Department of Commerce. Unlike CAA, however, CAB functioned independently of the Secretary of Transportation.
Regardless, his new assignment regarding the Washington National Airport was a sizeable project with far-reaching responsibilities. For example, the commission was authorized to pass on all job items as to plans, specifications, estimates, materials, equipment and execution. It would review all proposed contracts, make general decisions on engineering and construction methods and materials and refer to the Civil Aeronautics Authority all matters needing its decision as sponsor of the project.
Below, Smith ponders an architect's drawing/model of the airport terminal.
The photo above illustrates Smith's additional responsibility to coordinate with the U.S. Treasury Department's public buildings division for the preparation of designs for the buildings, and with the procurement division for preparation of specifications for advertising building contract bids. The Army Corps of Engineers was allotted $600,000 for dredging operations, which began and continued through that winter, 1939-40. On September 28, 1940, two years to the day of the site selection, President Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the terminal building at the dedication ceremony.
With the approach of WWII, Smith was recalled for active duty as an air officer in the 31st Division. He was promoted to full colonel in 1942. On January 24, 1943 Smith's aircraft disappeared over the Caribbean Sea enroute to satisfy some unknown role to support the aftermath of the Casablanca Conference (held January 14 to 24, 1943).
Smith's role might be divined from his title at the time. He was Chief of the Transport and Facilities Division, Directorate of Ar Support, Headquarters of the Army Air Forces. We could easily see him involved with air support, airfield construction and logistics for the invasions of Sicily and Italy which, along with the demand for unconditional surrender by the Axis Powers, were settled at the Conference.
The article, above, right, states that he was lost in the Caribbean. However, headed for Africa, his airplane could have landed anywhere enroute, which included South America and the Atlantic Ocean. Note the lack of mention, for obvious reasons, of the type of aircraft, the specialties of the other officers on board, or their destination. It doesn't even suggest they were headed for Africa. It is not clear from the article whether Smith was flying the airplane.
In October, 1943 Smith was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. The citation read in part, "For exceptionally meritorious service in the performance of duties of great responsibility from March 9, 1942 to January 24, 1943." During that period he had supervised construction of 90 air-support bases in vicinities near camps of more than 10,000 men. The award went on to read, "By his untiring efforts, excellent judgement and comprehensive knowledge, these bases were completed in record time."
Ironically, his organization that had provided him with so much challenge during the last half of the 1930s, the W.P.A., was disbanded on June 30, 1943, six months after his disappearance. It was a result of high employment due to the economic boom of World War II. He was inducted into the Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame in 1984.

ELL Overlays
ELL Overlays for Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing in Mathematics and Literature are a framework for FORMATIVE/CLASSROOM Instruction and Assessment.
The WIDA 2012 ELD Standards represent the social, instructional, and academic language that students need to engage with peers, educators, and the curriculum in schools.
PA ELP National Standards –There are five English language proficiency standards that center on the language needed by English language learners in Grade levels PreK-12 attending schools in the state of Pennsylvania to succeed both socially and academically in education settings. Each of the English language proficiency standards addresses a specific context for language acquisition (social and instructional settings as well as academic language in the content areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies). The framework is broken into five grade level clusters: PreK-K, 1-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
Each of the five English language proficiency standards encompasses four language domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The language domains reflect the modality of the communication that is further delineated by the language proficiency levels and their model performance indicators. The definitions of the language domains are as follows:
Listening –process, understand, interpret, and evaluate spoken language in a variety of situations
Speaking– engage in oral communication in a variety of situations for an array of purposes and audiences
Reading– process, interpret, and evaluate written language, symbols and text with understanding and fluency
Writing– engage in written communications in a variety of forms for an array of purposes and audiences
Language Lines

Philippines plans infrastructure budget
"We want to do the bulk of the spending during the first quarter," Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Florencio Abad said.
"Traditionally, the government indeed does the frontloading during the first quarter until the second quarter of the year. We find this quite strategic and advantageous and we intend to do it for the next five years," he added.
President Aquino is scheduled to sign the 2011 General Appropriations Act (GAA) today.
This is the first time in more than a decade that the GAA would be signed into law before the fiscal year starts. The 1999 GAA was signed into law by former President Joseph Estrada on December 30, 1998.
"Upon the signing [of the budget] the President would likewise approve our proposal to do the frontloading as early as January," the DBM chief said.
He said that President Aquino already "agreed in principle" to immediately release the funding for those projects that are critical to start for the season.
"This is an opportune time to build infrastructure since we expect typhoons and heavy rainfall at the end of the second quarter," Abad said.
After the signing, next year's GAA will be published in the Official Gazette for publication compliance.
The DBM chief said the department has been holding meetings with six other agencies that have key infrastructure projects or social protection programs to draw up a budget execution strategy.
These agencies include the Departments of Public Works and Highways, of Transportation and Communication, of Agriculture, of Education, of Health, and of Social Welfare and Development.
"This will ensure that spending on these programs or projects are appropriately timed during the first half of the year," Abad said.

I didn't take the trolley that morning because my aunt Gaylene wanted me to accompany my cousin Courtney's friend Susan. Courtney and Susan wanted to go to the Con even though Courtney was working most of the day. Before Courtney showed up, my aunt wanted me to escort Susan because Susan had never been to the Con before and I guess someone, she or my aunt, was wary of the behemoth. So Susan and I got the Convention Centre at around 9:30am, thirty minutes before the Con officially opening.
I didn't talk to Susan very long; apparently she was mainly there to see the entire cast of Heroes, so I talked to her about how silly I thought the ending of season 1 was, and I explained to her my theory about how the writers screwed up with the Haitian character. She didn't say much, and then we were separated at the gates when pre-registers (her) had to go in through a different entrance than people who already had their badges (me). I waited around for her a while in the Sails Pavilion upstairs but gave up after a few minutes. So much for my chaperone career.
There I was with my portfolio and a printout of the first issue of my new comic, and I'd already learned that the portfolio reviews weren't worth my time. So I decided to go downstairs and talk to the people in the small press area of the Event Hall. People were going down there even though it was only 9:45am, but it wasn't very crowded. I've now arrayed about my keyboard all the cards and fliers and little handmade booklets I collected from the various booths and it's sort of dizzying to think I actually had conversations with all these different comic book artists and writers. I can't even quite remember the order in which I talked to everyone, nor can I remember all the faces attached to these comics and cards. I'll do my best, but my apologies to any of you who might actually be checking my blog and getting miffed that I utterly forgot a long, meaningful conversation we had.
The first person I spoke to was a guy who worked on a comic called SPaZ. I glanced through his comic and told him I liked the colouring. I showed him some of my comic and he told me I definitely ought to join the west coast chapter of a comic artist guild. Apparently, it's a bigger thing on the east coast. Considering I've noticed that another two comic book stores have closed around here recently, I'm beginning to think comics are more of an east coast thing in general.
Let's see, I'll just go by cards here . . . Kelli Nelson was pretty cool, and seemed like she had a good sense of humour. Her books were in some amazing, handmade bindings, and she told me about a specific dye or material she used for one book in order to get an interesting thick, glossy texture with oddly good traction.
I met Randy Reynaldo at his booth, and he seems like he has a very nice comic . . . Val Hochberg, creator of a comic called Kick Girl, seemed very sweet, giggled a lot, and really seemed to like my comic.
I met Brion Foulke, creator of Flipside, the only creator I met Saturday whose comic I'd actually read and the only comic creator who'd actually read Boschen and Nesuko. That was a rather pleasant surprise. He told me he really liked my work, and that he didn't always say that to people. I told him I liked his, which I do, though I haven't read more than two-thirds of the Flipside archive. He was doing a radio show or something at the time I spoke to him and I told him he had kind of a radio voice. He was with the creator of another comic called Paradigm Shift, which also looks well drawn.
In the booth next to him was Jennifer Brazas, who I think is Brion's girlfriend, and also the creator of Mystic Revolution. I had a slightly odd conversation with her because she and I were wearing exactly the same hat and glasses (though her fedora had a c-crown). She looked through some of my stuff at Brion's urging.
"You'll like it, it has naked women," he said.
"So I see," she said, for although I'd thought about restricting my portfolio to my less explicit work, I actually had a really hard time finding any significant groupings of pages that didn't feature at least a few NC-17 items. So I didn't bother with self-censorship, which really perturbed the creator of Zecta, to whom I'd spoken earlier. Upon looking at my comic, the first thing he very soberly said to me was that I ought to have a mature content warning on my cover. He seemed very concerned that children might get a hold of my comic.
"It's very hard for me to think that way," I said. "I'm too much of a pervert."
I don't think this was a statement he appreciated. He was also the only person to tell me I needed to replace my handwritten lettering with computer text. We may very well have been broadcasting at polar opposite wavelengths. His comic is about robotic insects.
I spoke very briefly to the creator of Bob the Angry Flower, who was wearing a very stylish cardboard headdress of yellow petals. The comic sample I picked up from his booth was very funny, too.
I spoke to three of the makers of Bushi Tales, and we admired samples of each others' comics, noting how we seemed to be exploring mildly similar design concepts. I had a very interesting conversation with Bushi Tales artist/Co-Creator Lin Workman about colouring programmes. He uses PhotoShop, the industry standard, while I'm still using my 1998 shareware copy of Paint Shop Pro 5 (who wants a copy? Here you go. Now you can colour exactly like me. Results may vary).
There was another artist I spoke to who had some very good stuff, but I seem to've completely lost her card . . .
Next to her was Athena LaRue, creator of The Adventures of Onion Boy, and she seemed very intrigued by my work, just from overhearing me discussing it with the girl whose card I lost. LaRue's comic is rather nice looking, like a cross between Tim Burton and Maurice Sendak.
I spoke to GB Tran and we had a conversation about the butterfly effect, how he used it in his comic, and how unfortunate it is that there's an Ashton Kutcher movie of the same name. I pointed out that I'd heard a character in a Star Wars game refer to the unforeseen dramatic effects the flapping of a mynock's wings can have, so maybe the concept is adequately proliferated in our pop culture regardless of Ashton Kutcher.
There was another guy I spoke to who was charging fifty cents for his little cards bearing his URL.
"Fifty cents for one of your cards?" I said, thinking he hadn't understood what I wanted.
"Yes," he said with perfect sincerity.
"Er, I'll pass." So no link for him . . .
I then made for a booth for a comic called The Devil's Panties. I spoke to its creator, Jennie Breeden, who was wearing a really cool tan coloured, space military looking coat. She explained to me the comic is autobiographical, so I asked the obvious question; "Do you wear devil's panties?"
"We figure the devil would go commando, actually," she explained, and I could tell she's answered the question many times before.
I'd have advised her to own the concept, say, "Yeah, I wear the devil's panties, and they're always on fire!" or something. She seemed to like my comic, and recommended I use a site called www.lulu.com for my self-publishing needs, though she said my comic, being in colour, might be quite expensive.
"I knew I was doing the bad thing when I went with colour," I said, sighing. "But I did it anyway . . ."
Next I spoke to Kelly Lynn Jones, who was quite appalled when I told her about the guy charging fifty cents for his cards. She gave me a card and a nice postcard, free of charge,
Well, it's time I did something else to-day, so I'll finish Saturday next time. Yes, there's more. Lots more . . .

Overview of CO2 Corrosion
CO2 Corrosion is a form of degradation that occurs when dissolved CO2 in condensate forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), which corrodes steels and low alloys to form an iron carbonate scale. CO2 corrosion is most typically found in boiler condensate return systems that are not adequately treated with corrosion inhibitors.
The rate of corrosion in materials affected by CO2 corrosion is dependant on several factors such as the concentration of CO2 in the environment, the operating conditions in which the components work, and the type of materials they are composed of. It's also important to be aware of the water chemistry that is going on around the equipment; for example, alkaline water that has been de-aerated can build up incredibly high CO2 levels.
Water analysis is the best way to detect condensate problems that may lead to leaks in condensate return systems. Radiography or ultrasonic thickness measurements on the bottom of condensate piping and on the back side of elbows or other areas of higher velocity and/or turbulence may also detect localized thinning typical of condensate corrosion. To better avoid CO2 corrosion, one should adequately treat condensate return systems with corrosion inhibitors and upgrade various affected components to 304 SS.
