Left to right, Teo Smith, Exchange General Manager; Julie Blanks, Principal Director for Military Community and Family Policy; Barbara Taylor, Dover AFB Military Clothing Store Manager; Ann Thomas Johnston, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy; Karin Orvis, Director, Transition to Veterans Program Office; Exchange department managers Lisa Cain, Yvette Copeland and Yvette Russell.
Barbara Taylor knows her phone can ring any time, day or night. She knows she must answer. She knows her work directly honors those service members who gave their last full measure of devotion.
As manager of the Dover Air Force Base Exchange's Military Clothing store in Delaware, Taylor is on call 24/7 to support the Department of Defense's only mortuary in the continental U.S. Taylor makes sure fallen heroes have their uniforms complete as they are laid to rest.
"Taking care of those who gave their life for us is nothing but an honor," Taylor said. "I am always available for Mortuary Affairs. I have to be here to make sure the fallen have everything they need. Sundays … late nights … it doesn't matter. They have my personal number. They call me, and the Exchange is here for them."
"Taking care of those who gave their life for us is
nothing but an honor."
-Barbara Taylor, manager, Military Clothing Store, Dover AFB
For treating our Nation's fallen heroes with such care and compassion, Taylor received a coin from Ann Thomas Johnston, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy during her visit to the Dover Exchange on Aug. 21.
The Dover Exchange team also hosted Julie Blanks, Principal Director for Military Community and Family Policy; and Karin Orvis, Director of the Transition to Veterans Program Office, reinforcing the Exchange's mission, relevancy and commitment to family serving family.
"Receiving the coin was so special—it blew my mind," Taylor said. "It's such an honor to support the military. Service members give their lives for us. I have such respect for the men and women who serve."
Taylor's Exchange career will end soon. She's retiring this year after 32 years—all at the Dover Exchange.
"The Exchange gave me a chance to prove myself," she said. "Working for the Exchange is the best job I ever had."

So proud of Ms. Taylor and her service to the military. As a retired AAFES manager as well as a spouse of a retired military member I am aware of the deep connection between AAFES and the military. However Ms. Taylor goes above and beyond. Her dedication is admirable and it is great that she is being honored.

Thanks for writing to your Exchange Post. I will forward your comments to Barbara.


in about seven hours i am supposed to speak in front of my church about anything i please. to reflect over the past four years.
i feel like i am being scrutinized.
i have changed a lot since freshman year, grown a lot. i've gained some confidence. the thing i'm the most proud of is that when i was a freshman, the biggest problems i had revolved around my arguments with my parents. now, i get along with my parents and i can actually talk to them, something that i wouldn't have ever wanted to do awhile ago.
i've learned the most in the past two years. god has challenged me so much through all sorts of relationships. i decided awhile ago that i want to grow and i desire wisdom. but i trust him. my favorite verse is hebrews 11:40. "god planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect." god knows what's up and i don't. and i like it that way. i've learned to trust god. i desire to be like christ, so i know my heart is in the right place, and my intentions along with that. so, i know god is leading me to where he wants me and all of the struggles that i have gone through, am going through and will go through only strengthen me and teach me more. everything sounds so cliche right now. but no, don't regret anything that i've done because i know better now. i know better now.
and all this hurt, i don't know what to do with it. i give it to god. and i've fallen in love with psalms because it aligns with my cries for help and the lord's answers. it's nice to know that i'm not alone. and that's one other thing i've learned. everyone else is going through life and everyone else has problems. heart attacks, suicide attempts, mean girls, broken friendships, lots of things. it's ridiculous and sad. but there is so much hurt going on and i need to be more thoughtful of that, and i wish we all were. i've learned that you need balance too though. one can't dwell on their sadness all day. but at the same time, if you are sad you are sad. it doesn't matter if your situation isn't "as bad" as someone elses. if you have pain, you hurt. other people can handle different situations but we're all learning something through it all.
i've gained confidence. in some situations. and others, no. i am learning to be dependent on god. i love my family. i love my church. they support me so much! and i desire to radiate christ. and i know i don't. it all starts in my heart, and that's where i need to start.
oh, god. i am going to miss so many people next year. and there is so much i want to get away from and so much purpose that i want to get to. i don't know what to say. i wish your soul could paint a picture and that you could read it and understand. understanding, compassion and love.
love. all i need is more love please.

A jockey box is an insulated container containing ice and water, as well as a long coil of hollow tubing. The device is used to cool beverages being served on tap in temporary locations.

One end of the coiled tube in the box is fitted to the external supply of the beverage to be served (often moved from the supply container by gas pressure, as in the case of beer in kegs, and the other end is attached to taps for serving the beverage, which are often integrated into the box itself. Filling the jockey box with ice and water cools the coiled tubing, and when the beverage flows through the tube, the beverage is cooled to a temperature just above freezing, even if it was at room temperature before it entered the box. This allows cold drinks to be served on tap in temporary and outdoor venues.

Apart from the coil and taps, the jockey box resembles a cool box. Some jockey boxes force the liquid through a solid cold plate rather than a coil of tubing (see Alternative Portable Cooler Dispensers below).

A glove compartment is also sometimes referred to as a "jockey box," especially in the U.S. Upper Rocky Mountain states.

For the prior-to-use cleaning, use a flush-out hose to remove any residue or mold that might have built up inside the lines since the last time you used the jockey box.

Alternative Portable Cooler Dispensers

In the coil cooler, a stainless steel coil is covered with water and ice, in which the liquid is made to run through. At the contact with the cold coil, the beverage becomes cold.
On the flip side, the cold plate works making the beverage run across an ice covered aluminum cold plate. When the plate makes contact with the ice, the plate become cold provoking the liquid that runs over it becomes cold too.

A portable ice maker and water dispenser is a device that produces ice, and release chill water by a small in-house generator. Depending on the size, some of them require a water line connection, but most of them only needs to have water deposited in its container.

"두 주간의 출타를 정리합니다." <4. 30. 2017> E-Sub.
두 주간의 출타를 잘 다녀왔습니다. 첫 주는 지난주 목회자코너에서 밝혔던 것처럼 월요일부터 금요일까지는 이사회 모임이었고, 둘째 주는 지난 월요일부터 목요일까지 목회자 컨퍼런스에 참석을 했습니다. 원래는 그 중간에 금토일 3일 집회를 계획했었는데 교회 사정으로 취소가 되어 저도 쉬었습니다. 주일 설교를 부탁하는 교회가 있었지만 오랜 만의 기회다 싶어서 거절하고 유명한 릭 워렌 목사님이 시무하는 새들백 교회에 가서 예배를 드렸습니다.
첫 주에 있었던 이사회는 가정교회 사역원의 미래를 협의하는 시간이었습니다. 지금은 최영기 목사님이 국제 가사원장을 맡고 계시지만 이제는 은퇴를 2년 앞두고 있습니다. 따라서 그 이후 가사원이 어떻게 운영될 것인가 하는 것이 많은 분들의 관심사입니다. 간단히 말씀드리면 앞으로는 국제 가사원은 총괄하는 역할만 하고 실무는 한국 가사원과 북미 가사원으로 분할되어 운영 될 예정입니다. 이제는 한국과 미주의 목회 성격이 많이 달라졌고, 게다가 앞으로는 호주나 일본등도 독립해야 할 필요가 보이기 때문에, 올 하반기에 한국 가사원장과 미주 가사원장이 선출되어 최목사님이 은퇴하시기 전 2년을 같이 사역하며 배우게 될 것입니다.
가사원은 이제껏 그랬던 것처럼 앞으로도 사역을 주도하기보다는 가정교회의 정착과 확산을 목적으로 개교회를 돕는 것을 목표로 할 예정이고, 그렇기 때문에 가사원의 건물과 재정을 따로 마련하지 않는다는 것을 재확인 하였습니다. 왜 그러나 하고 의아하게 생각할 분들이 있겠지만 건물과 재정이 있으면 교단처럼 정치를 하려는 사람들이 모일 수 있다는 염려 때문에 누구든 본인이 자금을 충당할 수 있는 분들이 봉사직으로 원장을 맡아야 한다는 이유인데 올바른 장치인 것 같습니다.
회의가 끝나고 누군가가 최목사님께 은퇴를 하고 나면 무엇을 하실 계획이냐고 물었는데, 지금은 아무 계획도 세우지 않고 있다고 하셨습니다. 휴스턴 서울교회를 은퇴할 때도 아무 계획을 세우지 않고 TV만 보겠다고 했는데, 하나님께서 은혜를 주셔서 은퇴한 후에 더 열매가 많았다고 하시면서, 지금도 TV를 보는 계획 이외에는 없다고 하셨는데, 그 말씀이 저를 잠시 돌아보는 시간이 되었습니다.
둘째 주에 있었던 컨퍼런스는 이상래 목사님이 시무하는 LA 미라클랜드 침례교회에서 있었습니다. 이번에는 150명가량 참석했습니다. 컨퍼런스는 주로 낮 시간에는 삶공부를 수강하고, 밤에는 가정교회를 정착시킨 사례발표도 듣고, 여러 가지 강의도 듣게 되는데 이번에 저는 새로운 삶을 강의했고, 신동일 목사님은 영어회중 정착사례를, 그리고 백동진 목사님은 올리브 블래싱에 관한 발표를 했습니다. 특히 신목사님의 사례 발표는 한인교회 담임목사님들에게 많은 도움이 되었을 것입니다.
컨퍼런스가 끝난 후 다시 가사원 지역 목자 모임으로, 다시 초원모임으로 결국 목요일 밤 11시가 되어서야 모든 일정을 마쳤습니다. 2주간의 출타를 떠나면서 책도 세권을 가지고 가서 틈틈이 읽고, 성경일독 일정을 흩트리지 말아야겠다고 생각했지만, 매일 아침부터 밤까지 계속되는 일정으로 따라가기는 도저히 불가능했습니다. 이사회 기간 중에는 차로 이동하는 시간들이 많아서 그 시간에 책과 성경을 틈틈이 읽으려고 노력했지만 그나마도 시간이 많이 주어지지는 않았습니다. 이제 돌아왔으니 밀렸던 목회일정을 따라 잡느라 바빠야 할 것 같습니다.
I just returned from a two week trip. As I wrote in the previous pastor's corner, the first week was to participate in the House Church Ministries International (HCMI) board meeting and the second week was to attend a pastor's conference which was from Monday through Thursday. Originally there was a three day revival planned in the middle for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but it was cancelled due to the church situation, so I had a chance to rest. Some church invited me to speak for their Sunday worship, but I did not go. Instead I went to Saddleback church with Pastor Rick Warren and worshiped there.
The HCMI board meeting was to discuss the future and direction of HCMI. Right now, Rev. Chai is the president of HCMI, but he will retire in two years. Therefore, many are concerned about how HCMI will operate after his retirement. Big picture is that HCMI will cover the general part and actual work will be handled by Korean HCMI and US HCM, which will be newly founded. The ministry character of Korea and the US is quite different and we also sense that Australia or Japan may need to be independent someday. Therefore, before the end of this year, new presidents for Korean HCMI and US HCMI will be elected so that they can learn from Rev. Chai for two years before his retirement.
HCMI's main work is not to lead ministry work, but to help each church so that house church ministry can be established and spread. Because of that, it was confirmed that HCM will not have a separate building or budget. Some may wonder why. The reason is if building or budget is involved, some people with political intent may gather just like conventions of many denominations. Therefore, the president should work as a volunteer and pay for his own expenses. I believe this practice is in line with its principle.
After the meeting, someone asked Rev. Chai for his plan after retirement and he answered that he had no plan. When he retired from Seoul Baptist church of Houston, he did not have any plan other than watching TV, but by the grace of God, he achieved more after his retirement. July like that time, he has no plan for retirement other than watching TV. His word made me think about myself.
The conference during the second week was at LA Miracle Land Baptist church with Pastor Sang Rae Lee. There were 150 participants for the pastor's conference. The conference was made up of Life bible studies during the day and at night case studies about establishing the house church system or other various lectures. I taught New Life bible study, Pastor Eric Shin talked about what Korean Church should do to build English Speaking Congregation and Pastor Daniel Baik reported Olive Blessing. I believe Pastor Eric's report was very helpful to many senior pastors of Korean churches.
After the conference, there were meetings for HCMI area leaders and village meetings so the whole program was over about 11 pm on Thursday night. As I was leaving for my two week trip, I meant to read 3 books and keep up with my schedule for bible reading, but because of the tight timetable from morning till night, this was impossible. During the director's meeting, there was time to be in the car and I tried to read but the time simply was not enough. Now, I am back, I will be busy to catch up with my regular ministry work.
부산에 오시면 꼭 연락을 주세요.
의미있는 시간을 보내셨네요. 멀리서나마 목사님을 응원합니다. 부산에 오시면 꼭 연락을 주세요. 은혜를 갚겠습니다.

Celebrity Faceoff: Drew Carey VS Bob Barker
In case you haven't heard before, comedian and Price is Right replacement Drew Carey is a minority owner of MLS team, the Seattle Sounders.
Which got the STO thinking. If Drew Carey can own a team, then why not Bob Barker? Barker does have more experience in, well, just about everything. The STO debates which host would make the better MLS owner and know when The Price is Right.
Bob Barker
Height: 6'1 Age: 86 Home: Darrington, WA
Bob Barker is possibly the most legendary gameshow host in television history. He was the charming host of The New Price is Right for so long it wasn't new at all. Barker was the face of the game show for 35 years, breaking Johnny Carson's record for hosting the same network TV show consistently. Barker also knows how to throw down too. He is a black belt in karate and has trained under the most powerful ginger alive, Chuck Norris. And if you have seen Bob in Happy Gilmore, you know he wouldn't be afraid to beat up and possibly dropkick some whiny athletes.
Height: 5'10 Age:51 Home: Cleveland, OH
Drew Carey was originally well known to the public for his own self-titled television show. The Drew Carey Show ran for 121 episodes and lasted 9 seasons. Carey also was the host of Whose Line is it Anyway before becoming the host of P.I.R. But Carey recently has shown MLS fans his excellent improvisation as an minority owner. Seattle is one of the most successful teams in all of the MLS. They currently are in second place in the West behind Houston, but have played one less match than the leaders.
The Winner
Adding up all the numbers for this one is tough. It seems like logic would say that Drew Carey would make the better owner (being that he already is an owner and his team has a chance to win the MLS Cup this season), but logic doesn't really matter when you're up against Bob Barker and Chuck Norris.
Can you think of any better owner/coach combo than that? Bob would smooth the crowd over with some Plinko, Hi Lo, Lucky $even, Flip Flop, and my personal favorite, Cliff Hangers. And Walker Texas Ranger would teach those guys how to kick the ball at incredible, unhuman-like speed. It would probably be one of the best sporting spectacles in all of the world.
Besides Barker was the far superior host, so its impossible to bet against the white-haired legend.
And remember folks.

Argentina ex-leader on trial for alleged cover up in bombing
Argentina ex-leader on trial for alleged cover up in bombing March 5 at 4:45 PM BUENOS AIRES, Argentina â€" Argentina's former Pres...
March 5 at 4:45 PM
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina â€" Argentina's former President Cristina Fernandez will face trial for allegedly covering up the role of Iranians in a 1994 bomb attack on a Jewish center.
The decision by a federal judge was announced Monday by Argentina's official CIJ Judicial Information Center. Eleven other former officials and people close to Fernandez's government will also go on trial on charges of cover-up and abuse of power.
The trial date has not been determined.
Fernandez denies any wrongdoing or involvement in any cover-up involving Argentina's worst terror attack. The 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires killed 85 people and wounded hundreds.
The judge is backing an assertion by a former prosecutor investigating the case who said that a 2013 government agreement with Iran ensured that Iranians involved in the attack would escape prosecution.


Protesters dissent, and dissenters protest. Is there a difference?
Of course, or this wouldn't be a column.
One more word to discuss: "dissident." Like its cousin "dissent," it began it English life as a mere difference of opinion, an adjective first seen around the mid-16th century. The noun form showed up late in the 18th century, the OED says, in a religious context: The kingdom of Poland labeled as a "dissident" anyone who was not a Roman Catholic.
Political "dissidents" showed up around 1950, the OED says, to mean "Disagreeing in political matters; voicing political dissent, usually in a totalitarian state." That totalitarianism angle persists in the OED entry, last updated in 1989, but Merriam-Webster says "dissidents" are people merely "disagreeing especially with an established religious or political system, organization, or belief." No totalitarianism required.

Delta Downs closed out its fifth week of racing on Saturday night with the $150,000 Louisiana Legacy serving as the featured event. The one-mile test for 2-year-old Louisiana-breds was taken by Klein Racing's Gladyousawme, who pushed his brief record to three wins in as many starts while taking his stakes debut under jockey Roberto Morales.
After breaking cleanly from the gate in a field of 10, Gladyousawme was determined to set the pace while saving ground the entire trip after breaking from the inner-most post position. The Brad Cox trainee carved out fractional times of 24.11 seconds for the quarter-mile, 49.25 for the half and 1:48.48 for three-quarters while feeling the pressure of Cajun Creed throughout the journey. In the homestretch, Gladyousawme was under tremendous pressure but pulled clear late to score a 1-1/2 length win over Cajun Creed with Pound for Pound settling for third another three-quarters of a length behind the runner-up.
Gladyousawme completed the eight-furlong trip over a fast track in a time of 1:40.48 seconds.
Gladyousawme earned $90,000 for his effort in the Louisiana Legacy and has now placed $130,800 in his bankroll during his brief career, which started at Indiana Grand on September 27 in a maiden turf race before defeating allowance foes at Delta Downs one month later.
Bred in Louisiana by Bertram Clein & Richard Klein, Gladyousawme is a 2-year-old chestnut colt by Due Date, out of the Hard Spun mare Flame Run.
Sent to the gate as the 6-5 wagering favorite, Gladyousawme returned $4.40 to win, $3 to place and $2.40 to show. Cajun Creed was worth $4.20 to place and $3.20 to show. Pound for Pound paid $5.60 to show.
Delta Downs will conduct a special Thanksgiving Week of racing next week with special daytime race cards taking place Tuesday and Wednesday beginning at 1:35 pm. The track will be dark on Thursday for Thanksgiving Day before returning to the regular post time of 5:30 pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

DO NOT USE: MARKED FOR DELETION IN VERSION 6.

When it comes to our jobs as helping professionals, the very first problem that we encounter with a client is how we define the problem, and who gets to define it.
That can seem like a bit of a lofty statement, so let's break it down a little bit.
But, before we do that, it's important to acknowledge that your view of "client problems" is going to be heavily influenced by your perspective and how much weight you give to Expert Driven vs. Client-Centred practice. Here at Becoming Responsive, we fall firmly into the perspective that client's are the expert on their own lives, have the strengths and capabilities to address their challenges, and our job is less "expert as fixer with the answers" and more "expert as facilitator with the process".
These are experience-distant descriptions of the problems people face because they contain nothing of the client's experience. And this lands in practice in seemingly innocuous ways, in our day to day language about clients.
"Johnny has anxiety". Does he really 'have' anxiety? Or is it a shorthand way for us to describe a set of behaviours, in order to generate a solution that WE think might be the right one?
You can start to see how something as seemingly straightforward as naming the problem is loaded with tension between a client vs. expert mentality. The act of holding loosely to our professional labels (both the formal and the offhand), is a way for us to move away from Expert-Driven, to a more Client-Centred approach.
What do we know about (insert Johnny's behaviour) from Johnny's perspective?
Would Johnny call it anxiety? Or fear? Or uncertainty? How does it (his behaviour, not the labels we ascribe to it) make sense in the conditions he finds himself in, both environmental and relational? What words has he used to describe it?
Margo Talbot, someone who struggled with suicidal depression and addiction for twenty years (only to come out of it through the power of ice climbing and some important relationships) mentioned on a recent podcast episode that her addiction "kept her alive through her suicidal depression." Her addiction was a life vest in a sea of pain and trauma…who are we to take that away from someone?
To unpack an Experience-Near description of a client's challenge is to engage in truly client-centred work, positioning them as the expert and authority on their own challenges and therefore, their own solutions.
We call it the Battle for the Definition of the Problem because it's critical to everything that comes after it, and the act of naming someone else's problems for them is a serious undertaking, loaded with the power and privilege that comes with our roles as helping professionals.
A power and privilege that we might need to look a little more closely at.

An informal meeting of the EU heads of state and government, devoted to Brexit as well as issues such as internal security and migration, is being held in the Austrian city of Salzburg, which started on Wednesday and is due to conclude later in the day.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, European Council President Donald Tusk and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker held a press conference in Salzburg as the EU heads of state and heads of government reached its end on Thursday, September 20.
During the meeting, Tusk stated that EU will not compromise on single market. Moreover, he expressed scepticism with regards to Chequers plan.
"While there are positive elements in the Chequers proposal, the suggested framework for economic cooperation will not work," Tusk said.
In her turn, UK Prime Minister Theresa May said that her Brexit proposal was "the only serious proposal on the table" and there was no counter proposal at the moment that would deliver on what the state needs to do.

May also stressed that she was negotiating hard for the UK people and that the state was preparing for no deal Brexit. She emphasized that Brexit will happen and the UK will leave in 2019.
Speaking about Brexit during the meeting in Austria, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said that the EU must avoid a hectic process of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the bloc.

The Lithuanian head noted that it was important to agree on all most contentious issues in the divorce talks in order to "ensure smooth negotiations and mutually beneficial outcome."
In addition, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz expressed hope that a Brexit deal will see a more realistic scenario than the absence of a deal.
"I think there is no point discussing the no deal scenario at the moment. I hope reaching a deal is a more realistic scenario," Kurz said.
The Austrian chancellor stressed that the negotiators should not aim for a no deal Brexit, and a hard Brexit should be avoided. At the same time, Kurz added that the European Union was ready for all scenarios.

On Wednesday, Theresa May called on the EU to take a more impartial stance in the Brexit talks, following Barnier's criticism of London's recent initiatives related to its looming withdrawal from the bloc, and described some of the bloc's demands as being "at odds with the reality."
On September 10, EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said that London and Brussels could finalize their agreements on Brexit in late October or the beginning of November. The UK and the EU have to address three important issues, which will enable the smooth Brexit process with respect for the two parties' interests, including to finalize a treaty on the UK departure from the European Union, resolve the issue of the Irish border and decide on the format of future relations.

A fire in a ceiling void, in the small hours of a Saturday morning resulted in the attendance of three fire engines and the evacuation of the hotel in Canal St, Manchester.
Whilst the damage to the hotel was contained, the fire caused a fish tank to explode and there was extensive water and smoke damage.
Concerned for his very high Trip Advisor rating, the Hotel owner refunded the guests for their lost night's sleep.
Fortunately, the hotel was covered under an 'Eating, Drinking and Hospitality Policy' arranged by their insurance broker, Nightclub Direct & Millennium Leisure Ltd.
As the hotel had also taken out 'Loss Recovery Insurance' provided by Lorega, the full cost of a dedicated loss adjuster, working on behalf of the hotel was also provided.
The Lorega loss adjuster was able to meet the hotel owner on site within 24 hours of the fire, and provide immediate and practical advice about the nature and extent of the damage and to start the claims process.
Interim payments were arranged to help with cash flow of the business whilst supporting documents were prepared for the claim.
The Lorega loss adjuster was able to agree the claim with the insurance company adjuster, which included the cost of building repairs, contents and business interruption.
Knowing which areas of the policy were applicable to claim and being able to provide the right information to the insurance company, speeded up the settlement of the claim and enabled the hotel to carry on trading.

ATLANTA – September 24, 2014 Red Book Connect's HotSchedules today announces the release of its brand new app for iPad. The HotSchedules iPad app supports all current functionality of the iPhone app, such as viewing the schedules, messaging, reporting and more, with several enhancements and added features. These added benefits include optimization for the extra screen space provided by the tablet device, which allows for a double-pane view that can display more information on screen at one time.
One of the added benefits is the My Schedule screen, which now allows users to view their schedule on the left pane while simultaneously displaying shift details on the right. Users can view who is and isn't working, release, swap, and pickup shifts from the pane on the right.
In the Calendar section, many features will now utilize a calendar view by default, allowing the user to instantly get a visual snapshot of their scheduled shifts, blocked days and time off requests.
While using the Digital Logbook feature, users can view daily logs and staff journal entries from the left pane while simultaneously viewing the entire post and its comments.
Managers who use HotSchedules reports, such as the roster report and sales and labor reports, will also benefit from new features. For example, the sales and labor summary view not only shows data for projected and sales, scheduled and actual hours, as well as costs and percentages, there is now a graphical representation of the data as well.

Next Tuesday Montiel-Donaire LA News Conference – 11:30 a.m. PT
LAS VEGAS, NEV. (January 5, 2011) – World Bantamweight Champion FERNANDO "Cochulito" MONTIEL and two-division world champion NONITO "The Filipino Flash" DONAIRE will host a Los Angeles News Conference Luncheon announcing Las Vegas' first world title fight of 2011. The news conference luncheon will take place Next Tuesday! January 11, in the Gold Ballroom at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel (506 Grand Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. 90071.) Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. PT, with the news conference beginning at Noon PT. Joining the two Top-10 pound-for-pound fighters will be Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum.
Montiel defends his title against Donaire in the latest chapter of the storied México-Philippines rivalry, Saturday, February 19, at Mandalay Bay. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Zanfer Promotions, the Montiel-Donaire world title tilt will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark, beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast.) The broadcast will open with undefeated NABO/NABA/WBC Continental Americas welterweight champion MIKE JONES defending his titles against Top-10 contender JESUS SOTO-KARASS in a rematch of their exciting battle which took place on November 13 on the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito pay-per-view extravaganza.
Montiel (43-2-2, 33 KOs), of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, México, is only the fourth Méxican fighter to win world titles in three different weight divisions, joining Hall of Famer-elect Julio César Chávez and future Hall of Fame inductees Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera. Undefeated since 2006, eight of Montiel's last 10 victories (eight were world title fights) have been by stoppage.
Donaire (25-1, 17 KOs), a native of General Santos City, Philippines, now living in the Bay Area of San Leandro, Calif., enters this fight riding a nine-year, 24-bout winning streak, which includes an IBF/IBO flyweight title knockout victory over defending champion Vic Darchinyan, and a fourth-round blasting of former WBA bantamweight champion Wladimir Sidorenko in his last fight on December 4. Nine of Donaire's last 10 victories have come by way of knockout.
Remaining tickets to Montiel vs. Donaire, priced at $250, $125, $50 and $25, not including applicable service charges, can be purchased at all Ticketmaster locations (select Smith's Food and Drug Centers and Ritmo Latino).

At the University of Mary, living on-campus is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in and be a part of a Benedictine student community.
U-Mary alumni often tell us that living on-campus gave them the opportunity to make lifelong friends. They were able to enjoy informal conversations (at meal times and late at night in the residence hall) and get involved in a variety of campus activities.
This is consistent with research at colleges and universities across the country indicating that on-campus students are significantly more likely than their off-campus peers to succeed academically, to be involved in campus activities, to graduate, and to feel positive about their college experience.
Any student under the age of 21, who on the day classes begin has not completed a minimum of 60 credits from an accredited college or university, is required to live on-campus for the entire semester. Any exception to this policy must be approved in advance by the vice president for Student Development.
During the semester in question, the student will continue to live with his/her parents or court-appointed legal guardians in the primary family home where the street address of the home is no more than 60 miles from the University of Mary main campus.
The student will reach his/her 21st birthday during the semester in question.
The student has already lived on-campus for two complete academic years (four semesters) at the University of Mary or at another accredited college or university.
The student is married. Students with plans to marry during the time they are required to live on-campus will be required to live on-campus up to the date of the wedding.
The student is the legal custodial parent or court-appointed custodial guardian of a minor child or children.
The student is registered with the Student Disability Services program with a documented disability, and is able to provide appropriate documentation to verify the need for a reasonable accommodation in the student residence facility the university is not able to provide.
Students who would like to submit a request for approval to live off-campus consistent with the circumstances listed above should submit their request using the Request To Live Off-Campus Form.
Forms are also at the Student Development Office located in Room 1503 of the Benedictine Center for Servant Leadership. The university reserves the right to consider each request on a case-by-case basis and require any documentation deemed necessary to verify the information submitted with the request.
As part of the approval process, a legally recognized parent or court-appointed legal guardian must sign the request. A minimum of 10 business days is required to process requests.
The student is advised not to enter into any off-campus lease or rental agreement before the university makes its determination with regard to the student's request. The determination made by the vice president for Student Development with regard to all requests is final.
The student who receives approval to live off-campus as a first-year student must renew his/her approval for subsequent years by submitting a new request. The renewal must be completed prior to the time the student registers for his/her classes. If renewal is not complete, the Student Development Office will place a hold on the student's ability to register for classes.


The bank has already approved loans totalling $900 million to green projects in each member state.
GOA -- The development bank set up by the BRICS group of emerging economies will ramp up lending to $2.5 billion next year after making its first loans to back green projects, its president KV Kamath told Reuters.
The BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - agreed to create the New Development Bank (NDB) in July 2014 with initial authorised capital of $100 billion. The lender was officially launched a year later.
"The second year is scaling up, concentrating on people, getting all the skillsets in," said Kamath, a veteran Indian banker appointed as the first head of the Shanghai-based NDB.
He was speaking on the fringes of a weekend BRICS summit hosted in the resort state of Goa by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The gathering seeks to add substance to the group that grew out of an acronym devised by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O'Neill back in 2003 that projected a long-term boom and global power shift in their favour.
"The fact is that these countries, collectively, have for the last few years contributed to more than 50 percent of incremental economic wealth that has been generated globally," said Kamath. "I don't see that changing."
It has already approved loans totalling $900 million to green projects in each member state. It has also started a renminbi-denominated borrowing programme, issuing a 3 billion yuan ($450 million) bond.
"Infrastructure alone has needs globally of $1-1.5 trillion a year – all the multilateral banks put together can do maybe 15 percent of this," said Kamath, who ran India's ICICI Bank Ltd from 1996 until 2009.


Below (in chronological order) are the websites I designed and developed for personal (as opposed to professional) reasons.
An extensive website, which I conceived, designed, developed, and maintained for the San Francisco non-profit corporation Shoestring Radio Theatre. The site provides information about the company's two nationally-syndicated, weekly radio programs: "Movie Magazine International" (film reviews) and "Shoestring Radio Theatre" (radio dramas).
A website I conceived, designed and developed for Berkeley-based singer-songwriter Nico Pemantle to help him promote his music online. The site includes Pemantle's bio, information about his two albums, and several complete songs available for playback.
"Crunchy Frog Comedy" is a sketch comedy audio show inspired in large part by Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Originally, Emusements was an umbrella site to encompass a couple of web games I had created: a "Name That Movie" (or TV Show) quiz game as well as "Virtual Prime Time" — which was a fantasy television game based on the Nielsen Ratings. Later I expanded the site to include information about Crunchy Frog Comedy and a personal microsite where I published my resume and creative portfolio. In 2018, I finally got around to updating the site, deprecating the earlier Emusements iteration and completely rebooting the site on WordPress as my personal website.

Morphologic Variability And Protein Isolation And Characterization Of Recent Planktonic Foraminifera
Lisa Louise Robbins, University of Miami
Marine Geology and Geophysics
The morphologic variations of six species of planktonic foraminifera were quantified using image analysis, closed-form Fourier analysis and subsequent EXTENDED CABFAC and QMODEL factor analyses. Within a species, morphologic fluctuations around a harmonic mean proved to be the result of identifiable groups or morphotypes. Six morphotypes of Globigerinoides ruber, 3 morphotypes of G. sacculifer, 4 morphotypes of G. menardii, 4 morphotypes of Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, and 3 morphotypes of Globorotalia tumida were quantitatively defined in 16 core tops from around the tropics. The percentages of morphotypes within a species were found to differ spatially, but often was not related to common environmental parameters, such as temperature and salinity. However, an additional study determined that Orbulina universa shows the most phenotypic variability in the marginal marine setting of the Cariaco Trench and that this may be a function of the high nutrient levels of the area.Stable isotopes of morphotypes were determined for two species, Globigerinoides ruber and G. sacculifer: G. ruber morphotypes showed distinct isotopic differences, while G. sacculifer morphotypes showed more scatter in the values. Morphologic and isotopic data suggest that G. ruber morphotypes may be genetically distinct, although genetic information is not available for planktonic foraminifera at the present.A possible source of genetic information, the individual proteins for the shell matrix of six species of core top planktonic foraminifera, was extracted for the first time. A number of different techniques were employed in the isolation and characterization of the individual proteins, including one and two dimensional gel electrophoresis, radioiodination and electroelution of the proteins, HPLC gel filtration and reverse phase protein separations, and amino acid analysis. Amino acid analyses of the proteins indicated possible species specific protein signals. Individual proteins from spinose species showed significantly higher aspartic acid and lower alanine percentages than non-spinose species. The foraminiferal proteins also showed similarities to collagen and elastin and thus, may have considerable influence in the process of chamber development and calcification. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the Primary Organic Membrane of the shell, which contains the proteins, is preserved for at least 300,000 years under the deep-sea conditions of the cores.

Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts
From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, "Waiting for Godot" has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, Time catches up with genius "Waiting for Godot" is one of the masterpieces of the century.
The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone or something named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time."

Amazon on hiring spree as coronavirus spurs demand
Image copyright Reuters
Amazon has said it will hire 100,000 warehouse and delivery workers in the US to deal with a surge in sales during the coronavirus pandemic.
The online retail giant also said it would increase pay for its staff in the UK, US and Europe.
The company's delivery systems have come under pressure as consumers avoid shops and stock up online instead.
The outbreak, which has led to more than 7,000 deaths globally, has prompted lockdowns around the world.
Like Amazon, US supermarket chains, including Albertsons, Kroger and Raley's, are hiring extra workers as they see online demand rise.
They are turning to people who had been working in the restaurant, travel and entertainment industries but are now out of work because of the outbreak.
"We want those people to know we welcome them on our teams until things return to normal and their past employer is able to bring them back," Amazon's senior vice president of worldwide operations Dave Clark said in a blog post.

Amazon said it would increase hourly wages by $2 in the US, £2 in the UK, and €2 in Europe. The company said it expects pay rises expected to cost it more than $350m (£285m).
The company did not say whether it would also be taking on new workers in the UK.
Last week Amazon said it would provide up to two weeks of pay to all employees diagnosed with the coronavirus, and set up a $25m fund to support its independent delivery service partners and drivers.
There have been more than 182,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus globally and more than 7,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

At Brookfield Center for the Arts, owner Mandy Winiecki gives parents what she calls a "five-diamond experience." Her Wisconsin–based studio caters to an affluent community, and she takes advantage: "Instead of trying to be the cheapest," she says, "we are the most expensive. But we deliver the best of the best." Here are her suggestions for taking customer experience to the next level.
Her lobby is stocked with Fiji water, Starbucks coffee and expensive granola bars. For her competition team's warm-ups, she uses Lululemon apparel. "It's trippy, but people think they're being treated better," she says.
Though it's expensive to be a part of her studio's comp team—$10,000 for her seniors—Winiecki found that when she offered parents the chance to pay in full up front, and save five percent, most took advantage. "A monthly payment of $375 plus warm-ups and travel on top of that means they're getting their credit card dinged every two weeks, it feels like," she says. "I expected zero people to choose to pay in full, but most did."
By offering high salaries and "an amazing work-life balance" to her staff, Winiecki doesn't have to confine her search for teachers to the greater Milwaukee area. "We have two teachers who moved here from Los Angeles. I've talked to other owners, and when they hear what I pay, they want to fall over dead," says Winiecki, whose teachers earn as much as $70,000 a year. "But we have 1,500 students, and because we're willing to pay these teachers well, in turn, we get more enrollment."


There are many paths and choices to be made in life. The choosing of one's profession is not the least of these. When a player reaches level 50 they have the opportunity to begin advancing in a new career. Scattered throughout the world are teachers and schools where players can go to enter into the circles of that profession and also hone their skills.
The monastic order is one that cannot be entered lightly. When a player becomes a monk he gives up the use of weapons completely. A monk uses mind and body centering techniques to gain complete control over their body. Because these techniques require freedom of movement, even armor can become a hindrance to the monks performance. This centering allows the monk to best even the most heavily armored opponent with his bare hands.
REQUIREMENTS: Cannot be wielding a weapon, and never will again wield a weapon.
This holy order of knights is not discriminating on who they let into their ranks. They will accept anyone who is noble of heart and soul. A crusaders duty is to be the violence for those who seek a refuge from violence. No cry for help should be refused by them, and no injustice should be left unrighted.
Through their faith, crusaders are shielded from harm by ignoble magical attacks. Through their rigorous training they are able to take more damage, an their blows in combat are struck with righteous fury. A crusader is a formidable opponent in combat, and not to be crossed.
Amazons are fierce female warriors. Whether raised in a city or a jungle, the Amazon has learned how to survive through the school of hard knocks. The amazon feels she must prove herself to be better than men. In most cases, she proves this very well, driving herself into a berserk fury during combat, inflicting grevious wounds upon her foes.
REQUIREMENTS: Only females can be amazons.
Being a minstrel means never having to worry about food and lodging. There will always be an inn that is willing to have you come and play. A bard, though, is something else entirely. A bard has dedicated their life to finding an adventure worthy of a ballad. Rather than just knowing song, the seek to write a song that will go down in history, thus preserving their fame forever. The bard knows the secret of song, knows how it can affect people's moods. They have also discovered that it can change the very world around them. By singing songs of power and magic, the bard is able to change people's perceptions of things. They can use these songs to disguise themselves, make their opponents believe they are somewhere else, and even absorb the magical energy of spellcasters, rendering their arcane magicks useless.
Assassins are killers for hire. They are gritty individuals, hardened to the pain and suffering of their victims. When they kill, they do so without remorse, to them its just part of the job. Assassins train themselves in the art of disguise and subterfuge. They also realize the value of real knowledge and study texts on anatomy and bone structure, thus enabling them to make every blow count for more. The constant tests performed by elder initiates of the assasin guild on younger initiates leave their bodies horribly scarred. This scarring toughens their bodies to the hardships of the real world, and makes them much more resistant to attacks by their foes.
The cult of demonists is a secret one, scattered throughout the world. A demonist gains his power by literally binding the essence of demons to their soul. By doing this, demonists are able to live off of the pain and suffering of others. To the demonist, killing someone is the same as taking a long nap.
REQUIREMENTS: A demonist must be evil.
The shapeshifter is a master of his or her own body. They recieve skills which allow them to shift their height or weight to gain advantage in combat, as well as the ability to morph their body into a completely different race. This could range from something as small as an ant, to something monstrously huge. At their strongest, these powerful people can also attune their body to reduce the amount of damage which they are dealt per blow.
Archers are rare people with such grace and control that they can be deadly when using ranged attacks. These individuals aim with such precision from great distances, that even the smallest and most inoffensive missiles can be devastating to their opponents. Even a single dart can kill an ogre in one hit if it hits the right spot. This intense ranged offense is inapplicable at close range, and therefor archers must also train their bodies to move with almost unnatural grace to allow them to survive should an opponent survive long enough to manuever close enough for melee combat. It is also important for an archer to be able to hunt his prey unnoticed. For this they must learn how to camouflage themselves to avoid detection as long as possible.
This group of individuals are generally spellcasters themselves who study various ways to become stronger and use their powers wisely. Respected members of the magical community, those that teach the ways of the templar throw everything they have into training and learning more of their profession.
REQUIREMENTS: A templar must be good and have a 13 or higher wisdom.
Liches are undead magical creatures who were not cursed(blessed?) with undeath through the usual means, but instead, through powerful arcane rites, they chose to enspell their bodies in a manner than grants them immortality, and with it, infinite time in which to study/perfect their skills and abilities.
Since the ability to understand and perform intense magical ritual is needed for the transformation from living to lichdom, a high amount of intelligence is required for one to be capible of completing the needed processes.
Since in most cases, the motivation behind such a change is purely ambition, most liches tend to be selfish and evil, so one would expect to find his or her mentors within the dark reaches where evil is usually rooted.
Liches are granted increased resistance to various attacks, the ability to harness and store more magic, and the capibility of reducing the damage sustained from various attack forms.
These dark souls seek power through the forces of evil. They are a sadistic twist of the dark gods upon all that a knight stands for. They recieve abilities that offer them great power in combat. Their souls are tortured for what seems like an eternity during their horrifying baptism into darkness. The result is a hardened warrior, capible of resisting both magic and nonmagic, having increased physical power, and having the ability to steal the life force from many of any opponents foolish enough to stand in their way, and use it to gain increased physical stamina and energy.
A mercenary is a sell-sword, or one who offers their skills in combat as a service to anyone. Though they usually work for money, some have been known to accept other, stranger, forms of payment. By honing their physical prowess, these toughened warriors are capible of defending theirselves from magical attacks, as well as inflicting deadly critical strikes with their physical attacks. Another special result of this increased strength and health is the ability to recover health much more quickly than others when healing magic is unavaliable.

This list of oldest heraldry aims to include the oldest documented, non-attributed heraldic achievements for individuals, families, locations or institutions.
Heraldry developed in the High Middle Ages (c. 1000-1250), based on earlier, "pre-heraldic" or "ante-heraldic", traditions of visual identification by means of seals, field signs, emblems used on coins, etc. Notably, lions that would subsequently appear in 12th-century coats of arms of European nobility have pre-figurations in the animal style of ancient art (specifically the style of Scythian art as it developed from c. the 7th century BC).[1]
The origin of the term heraldry itself (Middle English heraldy, Old French hiraudie), can be placed in the context of the early forms of the knightly tournaments in the 12th century. Combatants wore full armour, and identified themselves by wearing their emblems on their shields. A herald (Old French heraut, from a Frankish *hariwald "commander of an army") was an officer who would announce the competitors. The display of heraldic emblems on shields is an innovation of the 12th century. The kite shields shown in the Bayeux Tapestry (c. 1070) sometimes show simple cross or spiral ornaments, but no heraldic emblems. Similarly, Frankish or German round shields of the 11th century (Ottonian, Salian) are sometimes depicted with simple geometric ornamentation, but not with figurative emblems.[2] Early mention of heraldic shields in Middle High German literature likewise dates to the 12th century.[3]
In some cases, the adoption of a symbol on a coat of arms was the culmination of a gradual progression, whereby a family can be seen using a symbol in a quasi-heraldic manner prior to its adoption as part of a formal coat. An example of this are the Counts of Saint-Pol, who between 1083 and 1130 decorated their coins with wheat sheafs that are then found on the equestrian seal of Count Engueraud (1141-50) placed in the blank space surrounding the mounted knight, before appearing on the shield of count Anselm and his successors from 1162. Similarly, the fleur-de-lis progressed from use as a decorative emblem by Henry I of France (1031-60) to then be displayed as a quasi-heraldic symbol by Louis VI, Louis VII, and Philip II (1180-1223) before becoming the charge of the French royal arms under the last of these kings.[4] Lions were used as heraldic emblems by Henry "the Lion" (before 1146), and Alfonso VII of León (d. 1157),[5] and probably by Henry I of England (d. 1135),[6] in the first half of the 12th century, and lions later appear on the coats of arms of their respective realms.
The oldest surviving heraldic seals are the equestrian seals (German: Reitersiegel) used by high nobility in the second half of the 12th century. Among the oldest examples from the Holy Roman Empire, of what would develop into German heraldry, is the lion (or "leopard") of the Staufer coat of arms, first used before 1146 by Henry "the Lion", and in 1181 on the seal of Frederick VI of Swabia.[7] Similar seals are known from England, one of the oldest being the equestrian seal of King Richard Lionheart of the House of Plantagenet, dated 1189, showing a heraldic lion design on the king's shield. His second seal, dated 1198, shows the three lions design which would subsequently become the royal coat of arms of England.
The earliest known colored heraldic representation appears on the funerary enamel of Geoffrey of Anjou (d. 1151), showing a coat of arms that appears to be the same as one later used by some of his descendants. Depiction of heraldic shields in manuscript miniatures becomes more common in the early-to-mid 13th century, and dedicated armorials become fashionable in the mid-to-late 13th century.

List of oldest heraldry[edit]
Armiger/attribution
1138 Family coat of arms Waleran de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Worcester These chequy arms appear on what is seemingly the earliest armorial seal in England or Normandy, though the first undated seal of his uncle Ralph I, Count of Vermandois, bearing a chequy livery may be older, having been replaced by the count's second seal in 1146. The tinctures of Worcester's coat were apparently the red and gold borne by his descendants, though the families of his full brother and of two half-siblings would instead bear variations of a blue and gold chequy shield.[8]
1146 Personal coat of arms Henry the Lion Among the oldest equestrial seals preserved are those of Henry the Lion of the House of Welf, duke of Saxony (1142–1180) and Bavaria (1156–1180). A total of seven seals of Henry's are known. Of these, only the second shows a recognizable lion displayed on his shield. This seal is attached to two documents dated to 1146. It is possible that the lion was also on the first seal (c. 1142), but it is no longer recognizable.[9]
An equestrian seal of similar antiquity is that of Ottokar III of Styria, dated 1160, with an early form of the Styrian panther on his shield.
by 1146 Family coat of arms Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke,
Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford The seals of this uncle and nephew show variants of a common de Clare motif, with Pembroke using a chevrony coat also used by Hereford's sister, while Hereford's seal displays a simplified coat with three chevrons that would be used by Pembroke's son and the later Hereford earls. The charters to which the seals are attached are undated, but placed contextually no later than 1146.[10]
1155-1160 Personal coat of arms Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou Appearing on funerary enamel commissioned by Geoffrey's widow Mathilda of England between 1155 and 1160 for his tomb (Le Mans Cathedral). The enamel shows four lions on the visible half of the shield, but is generally accepted as representing the same six-lion coat depicted on his grandson William Longespee's tomb effigy and known to have had the same tinctures. A late-12th-century chronicler wrote that in 1128, King Henry I presented to Geoffrey a badge of a gold lion.[11]
1181 Personal coat of arms Frederick VI, Duke of Swabia Frederick VI is known to have displayed a lion rampant from 1181. His Reitersiegel, dated 1188 (original lost in 1847), shows his shield as displaying two lions rampant.
Frederick's younger brother Philip of Swabia (r. 1196–1208) used three lions, seen on a seal dated 1197. The three lions passant are later (after 1220) used as the family coat of arms of the Staufer, and still later as the coat of arms of Swabia.[12]
1187 Personal coat of arms Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona A pattern of red and gold striping is seen in the decoration of the tomb of countess Ermesinde in the mid-11th century (whether the colouring is original is disputed), and the same motif would be adopted for the arms of the County of Barcelona and Kingdom of Aragon. (es:Segell de Millau)
1189 Personal coat of arms King Richard the Lionheart The first documented royal coat of arms of England. With only half of the shield visible, it is unclear if the unseen half had a second lion or if only the visible lion was present, and if the latter, whether the direction the lion faced was relevant or simply reflected artistic licence. Colours are unknown, but several close kin of his father used arms with one or more gold lions on a red background, so these were perhaps the tinctures of this shield.
1190s Family coat of arms Welf VI, Welf VII Heraldic lion in sandstone at Steingaden Abbey, presumably as funerary monument for Welf VI (d. 1191) and Welf VII (d. 1167), known as the oldest heraldic monument in Germany. The original monument consists of the lion on its own, the escutcheon outline was added in the later 13th century. The lion was originally colored blue.
c. 1194 Personal coat of arms Canute VI of Denmark The seal of Canute VI, dated c. 1194, shows an early form of what would become the family coat of arms of the House of Estridsen, and in modern times the coat of arms of Denmark.[13]
1198 Personal coat of arms King Richard the Lionheart Richard's 2nd Great Seal of the Realm (reverse) (several surviving exemplars in England and France). The colours are unknown, but likely matched the coat used by his successors, with three gold lions on red, which remain the arms of England.
12th c. ? Personal coat of arms Alfonso VII of León, Castile and Galicia The adoption of the lion as personal emblem by King Alfonso VII (1126-1157) is ascertained based on the contemporary Chronica Adefonsi imperatoris.[5] An actual depiction of the emblem is not preserved from the epoch, the oldest representation of the Shield of León are illuminations in the "Tumbo A" manuscript, a cartulary of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral that includes material from the 12th to the mid-13th centuries.[14] Shown here is a detail of a miniature of Alfonso IX (r. 1188-1230). It is uncertain under which king the lion emblem of Alfonso VII was placed on the royal coat of arms, nor is it known whether the representations in the Tumbo A are contemporary with the monarchs illustrated or represent later attributed arms.
c. 1230 Knightly shield Conrad of Thuringia The depiction of heraldic designs on actual cavalry shields (knightly shields), the historical origin of the escutcheon, no doubt date to their depiction on seals in the 12th century. However, this artefact type is very rarely preserved, and the oldest extant examples date to the first half of the 13th century. An early example is the shield of Conrad of Thuringia (c. 1230), showing the Ludovingianlion barry (later the coat of arms of Hessen and Thuringia).
1237 Personal coat of arms Ferdinand III of Castile In earliest known quartered arms, Ferdinand III represented the union of his father's kingdom of León with his mother's Castile by placing the symbols of both on a quartered shield, appearing on his seal.
c. 1260 Burgher arms (Italian republics) (Siena, Florence) Italian merchants and bankers first adopt heraldic emblems in the mid 13th-century.[15]
1294 "Papal" coat of arms Pope Boniface VIII Popes of the late medieval and early modern period used their family coats of arms (the earliest exception being Nicholas V, r. 1447–1455). The coat of arms of Boniface VIII (r. 1294–1303), an early form of the Caetani coat of arms, happens to be the first coat of arms used by a pope preserved in a contemporary depiction.
1290s Ecclesiastical
heraldry Diocese of Ely Possibly the earliest documented coat of arms for a diocese.[17]
1315 Civic heraldry Brno, Moravia, Czech Republic The seal from 1315 shows show four bars, red and silver.
c. 1340 Burgher arms (Holy Roman Empire) (various) The earliest coats of arms taken by non-nobles, mostly families of the patriciate of imperial cities (Bürgerwappen), but also free farmers (Bauernwappen), appear in the 14th century. An early example of coats of arms attributed to commoners are found in Codex Manesse, "masters" (Meister, a title given to commoners) Heinrich Frauenlob and Heinrich Teschler (shown here is Teschler's coat of arms from Codex Manesse. The name Teschler translates to "bag maker", and the coat of arms shows argent a bag sable).
1369 Civic heraldry Košice, Slovakia Claimant to be the oldest coat of arms of a town, granted by Louis I of Hungary,
1441 Academic heraldry King's College (Cambridge) Possibly earliest documented coat of arms for an academic institution, at least in England, granted by Henry VI.

Mexican Consulate honors local sister
Sr. Melanie Maczka receives 'Ohtli' Award for service to Mexican immigrants
By Sam Lucero
CHICAGO — Sr. Melanie Maczka, executive director of Casa Alba Melanie in Green Bay, was honored by the Mexican government for her work with Mexican immigrants. On Sept. 15 she was presented with the Ohtli Award by Mexican officials at the National Hispanic Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago.
Carlos Jimenez Macias, consular general of Mexico, presents the Ohtli Award to Sr. Melanie Maczka during a ceremony Sept. 15 at the National Hispanic Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. (Submitted Photo | For The Compass)
A member of the Society of Sisters for the Church, Sr. Melanie was selected to receive the Ohtli Award by the Mexican Consulate for her 30-year ministry, along with Norbertine Fr. Ken DeGroot, to Hispanic residents in the greater Green Bay area. Sr. Melanie and Fr. DeGroot served first at St. Willebrord Parish in Green Bay and, since 2011, at Casa Alba Melanie.
In presenting the award to Sr. Melanie, Carlos Jimenez Macias, consular general of Mexico in Chicago, explained that nominations for the honor, both domestic and foreign, are submitted by the Consulate General of Mexico in Chicago to the Institute for Mexicans Abroad, part of the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"The word 'Ohtli' is in the Náhuatl language and means 'way,'" he said. "The Ohtli is the highest recognition awarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to people, regardless of their country of origin, who have distinguished themselves in work on behalf of the Mexican community residing abroad."
The award, presented annually, consists of a medal, a silver rosette and a diploma.
In his letter to Sr. Melanie, Jimenez Macias said, "It is a great honor for me to inform you that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after a thorough examination of the candidates, selected you to receive this high distinction. … This acknowledgment honors people who have dedicated most of their lives and career to blazing a trail abroad for younger generations of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans as they strive to achieve their dreams."
Sr. Melanie said she was honored to receive the award.
"It is very humbling to be selected for such a prestigious recognition from so many admirable candidates," she said. "The recognition is really a tribute to all the exceptional staff and volunteers at Casa Alba Melanie. They are truly making a difference in the lives of the Hispanic people in northeast Wisconsin as well as the broader community."
Casa Alba Melanie is the Hispanic Resource Center of the greater Green Bay area. Its mission is to "nurture the well-being and wholesome development of all members of the Hispanic community living in the region." Its services are provided through the work of our volunteers and are funded through donors. For more information visit CasaAlba.org.
Among the past recipients of the Ohtli Award are actress Eva Longoria, 2015; California educator Alma Flor Ada, 2014; and Manuel Rios, founding partner of Rios and Cruz Legal Services in Seattle, 2013.

You couldn't have said it better. If it was Bumgarner or Queto he might have left them in to pitch the 9th. We'll never know. Already looking forward to next April !
I wondered why he didn't do that, especially now, since the Dodgers borrowed our playbook using Kershaw for two batters in the 9th. It worked great for them! Thanks for the comment.
