For Quite Imposing 2.1Publisher's description

Quite Imposing is a Photo & Image software developed by Jupiter Images Corporation. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for Quite Imposing:

BrothersoftEditor: Quite Imposing is a family of plug-ins for Adobe’s Acrobat 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. They do...Imposing. This is all about combining pages onto larger sheets to make books, booklets, or special arrangements.

The family comprises Quite Imposing and its sister product, Quite Imposing Plus so creating booklets or arranging complex imposition layouts has never been easier and all without leaving Acrobat!

The man in our logo on the right is doing imposing as it used to be done - manually. This was a craftsmans task which required much expertise and skill behind it. Our Modern imposition tools perform at the same level of skill and are quick to learn and easy to use. They give immediate results without need for expensive training or complicated job set ups. But if you do need a little help getting started just visit our support pages to see the variety of ways to get technical help.

A particularly important feature of the plug-ins is that the combined pages are a new PDF document, giving a way to check each sheet instantly, saving time and money.

Quite Imposing Plus has options to add numbers to pages, to cover things with "masking tape", or add a PaGE from a PDF file over any other page at any scale.

Both plug-ins can also re-order pages, split or merge even and odd pages, and more. The most popular feature may be an easy to use booklet maker, which can make a foldable booklet from just about any PDF file. They both work completely visually in Acrobat, and you choose which files to print, save for later, or throw away.
you can free download Quite Imposing 2.1 now.

Please be aware that Brothersoft do not supply any crack, patches, serial numbers or keygen for Quite Imposing,and please consult directly with program authors for any problem with Quite Imposing.

BSX Releases 2017 Year End Review

Highlights: Insurance Linked Securities (ILS) listings maintained record levels, while international debt listings saw considerable growth. Domestically the BSX furthered its commitment to the development of the Bermuda domestic capital markets through the launch of its ‘Own Your Share of Bermuda’ Investor Education programme.

Hamilton, Bermuda – January 8, 2018 -  The Bermuda Stock Exchange (the “Exchange” or “BSX”) reported today that 2017 once again reinforced its position as the global leader and listing venue of preference for issuers of Insurance Linked Securities.

In making the year-end announcement, BSX President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Wojciechowski stated, “In 2017 the BSX built upon its position as the listing venue of choice for global ILS vehicles.  In addition, the significant increase in the number of international debt issuers illustrates that the market is clearly aware of the benefits of listing securities on the BSX and this is creating new opportunities for the Exchange and its listing sponsor community.”

He added, “The accomplishments of the BSX to date and in particular this year’s results, are directly attributable to the hard work of a small, dedicated team of world class stock exchange professionals that manage and operate the Exchange on a daily basis.  The team clearly understands the important role the BSX platform plays in the development of the Island’s domestic capital market and in particular its regulatory role which ensures investor and market protection.  This and how all the pieces collectively contribute to the health and development of Bermuda’s economy.

Furthermore, the team is committed to ensuring that Exchange remains a leader amongst its peers internationally by providing global capital market access and solid support for domestic market users.”

Commenting on the year, BSX Chief Compliance officer, Mr. James McKirdy stated, “In 2017 the BSX once again saw positive listing activity across most sectors. As noted, listing activity was particularly strong in international debt and insurance linked securities (ILS) which both reached record levels.

International debt listings grew to 180 securities in 2017, up 55% from 116 the previous year with their nominal value growing from $2.0 billion to $4.6 billion.

Meanwhile, the Exchange saw the listing of a total of 103 new ILS securities in 2017, with a combined nominal value of $11.54 billion. This represents growth of 69% in terms of the number of new securities listed in the year and an 87% growth in the nominal value. At year end the total number of ILS securities listed stood at 227 securities with a total nominal value of $ $25.99 billion.” concluded Mr. McKirdy.

The Exchange also listed 4 new collective investment vehicles, 3 new equities and 20 new derivatives. A further 9 subsequent issues were also processed by the BSX.

De-listings in the year followed a normal pattern and were mainly comprised of time-limited securities which matured as part of the normal course of business.

At year end the total number of listed securities stood at 865, as compared to 753 in 2016. While the RG/BSX Index closed the year at 2,202.19 up 14.47% over 2016.

Trading volume decreased in 2017 to 3.8 million shares traded.  Correspondingly share value ended the year at $40.1 million.

Operationally it was another busy year for the Exchange as the Bermuda Securities Depository (BSD) continued to ensure the orderly settlement of trades and processing of all domestic corporate actions. At year’s end the BSD held 62% of all domestic listed securities in custody, up from 58% last year.

The BSX ended the year with a total market capitalisation of $432.1 billion, $2.7 billion of which represented the domestic market.

Remarking on 2017 Operations Manager Neville Caines noted, “From an operational perspective the most significant highlight was the Exchange’s move from a T+3 to T+2 settlement cycle.  The move was in keeping with the long-term goal of global harmonization of exchange settlement and further aligned Bermuda with much larger CSDs seeking to reduce settlement risk and improve capital efficiency.”

2017 also saw the completion of a number of important projects within the technology group of the Exchange.  These included upgrades to the trading and settlement systems, signing a new contract with Nasdaq for continued use of their technology and upgrades to the gateways used by clients to access the Exchange’s systems. IT Manager Ian Havercroft explained further, “Independent surveys of our infrastructure have indicated that the BSX aligns closely with the US NIST Cybersecurity framework and our overall security score is near the highest scores in our industry.

Cybersecurity remains a priority at the BSX with continual improvements being made to all systems to fortify the Exchange’s protection.  Cybersecurity remains one of our biggest concerns. 2017 saw a number of high profile global cyber security events, none of which affected the BSX, due to our robust defenses and user education, both key  to avoiding disruption.”

Domestically the BSX furthered its commitment to the development of the Bermuda capital market by initiating an ‘Own Your Share of Bermuda’ investor education programme. Mr. Wojciechowski noting; “The programme was created to increase investor awareness, through education and information, with a view to ultimately increasing trade activity across Bermuda’s national stock exchange. As part of the initiative, the BSX worked with industry partners to produce an informative investor awareness guide, this was supported by a number of public forums and in late 2017 the Exchange participated in IOSCO’s inaugural World Investor Week, running an investor education quiz in conjunction with the Island’s daily paper.”

Mr. Wojciechowski went on to say, “We were very pleased with the positive response the initial campaign received from the general public as well as our domestic listed issuers and the Exchange intends to build on that success in 2018 to further expand the programme and  continue to develop and support the domestic capital market.”

In closing Mr. Wojciechowski stated, “2017 was another solid year for the Exchange as we continued to expand our global reach and develop our domestic market. The focus in 2018 will be continued expansion of our international outreach with a view to creating new strategic partnerships that will enhance the Exchange’s global reputation with the ultimate goal of deriving a sound return on investment for our shareholders. Domestically, we will continue to work with our members in a determined effort to support the domestic capital market by expanding our ‘Own Your Share of Bermuda’ investor education programme, initiating new and creative ways to expand and diversify share ownership and increase trade activity.

The Gulf

It’s all quite interesting, as I said – albeit in a rather depressing way. It shows what a great yawning gulf there can be between secular modes of thought and the non-secular variety; between rational discussion and irrational discussion; between unbelief and belief; between atheism and theism. I’m not sure I think that’s always the case. I think it may be possible for atheists and theists to find some common ground at least sometimes. At least I think I think that – but maybe I only hope it, or would like to think it, or feel as if I ought to think it, because it seems so rude not to. (Which of course is a bad principle, and just the sort of thing B&W is supposed to be against, but it’s not always easy to extirpate every vestige of bad thinking from one’s equipment, is it.) But I must say sometimes I’m just not sure. Thinking airily in the abstract about generalities and likelihoods, it seems possible to think that the two sides can talk (surely?), but then when we get down to it, it becomes rapidly apparent that we can’t.

At least, not unless we maintain a polite silence. Not unless atheists are bashfully tactfully politely quiet about their atheism. Not unless we in fact pretend that we don’t actually disagree with our theist pals about anything. If we pretend it’s all just a matter of taste or inclination – you like blue, I like red; you like pizza, I like curry – then it’s all right. If the atheists pretend or at least allow it to be assumed that they’re atheists because they haven’t thought about it, or they’re lazy, or they just haven’t met the right god yet, then that’s okay, and we can all get along. But if atheists are so aggressive and unfriendly as to say they’re atheists for a reason, and to say what that reason is – then they are ‘strident’. And that’s at best – that’s almost a compliment. ‘X is strident but not actually a homicidal maniac.’ To the really committed theist, atheists are indeed – apparently by definition – homicidal maniacs. Atheists are to be called Madame Defarge and fans of Stalinist outrages – and this by the very people who complain of the fact that secularists don’t always want to work with theists! It’s really quite hilarious, in one way.

But in another way it isn’t, in another way it’s a symptom of the entrenchment of irrationalism in sectors where it ought to have faded away a long time ago. And this is another reason – or another version of the same reason – secularists don’t want to work with theists. It’s because theism depends on irrationalism, and secularists are just never sure that the theists can keep their irrationalism confined to that one area. How can we be sure? How could we? If you let yourself believe something against the evidence in one area, why would you not do so in other areas? What is the difference? What is the bright line that tells people ‘faith okay here, not okay there’? How do people know when to be credulous and when not to be? That’s what secularists don’t know, and that’s why we’re always a little leery of working on secular political issues with people who are not committed to secular ways of thinking. Maybe that’s wrong, maybe there is a bright line, maybe the theists are perfectly capable of keeping things separate. But it’s hard to believe that sometimes.

Organic Mentoring Conference: Forging Life-Giving Relationships with the Next Generation

promotional image-001God commands us to pass on our faith to those who follow behind, whether we are 18 or 80. Labels vary, from mentoring to discipling, coaching, or spiritual mothering, but the purpose is similar — to help women become all-in fully developed Christ-followers. Young women hunger for these kinds of life-strengthening relationships, but the mentoring methods and styles that worked for older generations don’t work today. Young women crave a more organic, natural connection. The spiritual futures of generations of young women are at risk unless older women learn to love, understand, guide, and walk with them. You’ll come away from these sessions with a new vision for mentoring and new confidence to connect with the next generation!

This teaching series is based on the book Organic Mentoring, which was authored by Dr. Sue Edwards and Barbara Neumann.Publicity Photo 2 sm

Complete Color Integrity

Complete Color Integrity

We begin by explaining color integrity in simple terms. Following that there are several routes to take toward a more thorough understanding of color integrity, and the reader can follow whichever routes are familiar and comfortable. I need to be clear from the start, however, that I have nothing against the creative, artistic use of color in photography. However, I do believe that it is important to start with an image that has color integrity before getting creative with the color. Otherwise a lot of creative energy is wasted in trying to compensate for what the image lacks.

The concept of color integrity deals with the behavior of color as it appears when in bright areas of a scene and when in darker areas of the same scene. Imagine a colored patch placed in a dark area of a scene. If I move this patch to a light area of the same scene the patch becomes lighter but it does not change its apparent color. (Of course this model assumes the light source itself is not different in the light and dark areas of the scene, but cases where the light does change are easily built upon this framework.) If we place this colored patch in an area where it is shaded at one side and the light is unveiled gradually to full brightness the other side, again the color of the gradient does not change as it becomes lighter. This is how the eye expects colors to behave, whether looking at the folds of a drape, the leaves of a tree, or the contours of a face. When the shading of colors in an image behaves in this natural manner we call that color integrity. When the colors in an image change unnaturally going from dark to light the eye becomes confused and the lack of color integrity can produce an unsettling effect.

In photography there are two distinct steps involved in producing images with this color integrity. First we must produce a digital image that corresponds to the colors and variations of color in the original scene with acceptable accuracy. This step of creating the initial accurate image having color integrity is called calibration. We find it best to use a calibration system based on a stepped grayscale. In digital photography gray is composed of equal parts of Red, Green, and Blue so calibrating with a stepped grayscale exercises all three color channels identically and because the grayscale steps through the range from black to white the calibration covers the entire response of the digital camera sensors (or the film) over the complete range of all three colors, red, green, and blue, that the digital camera or film sees. Using a correct grayscale calibration will produce an image file that starts out with color integrity. We have a web page on grayscale calibration and the ColorNeg and ColorPos plug-ins include several methods of grayscale calibration. For those who are curious about the choice of grayscale calibration and whether it is really adequate – and preferable – to using colored patches, in addition to the web links, Comments About Calibrating Digital Images in this document has more detail on calibration and why many of the current methods of calibrating digital cameras and film, particularly "profiling," often lose color integrity right from the start.

The second step in producing images with color integrity is in making sure that adjustments, especially initial major adjustments, to this initial calibrated image can be made while maintaining its color integrity. Here we are particularly interested in adjustments which lighten dark areas of the image or darken light areas of the image and also in adjustments to produce color balance, both general and in localized areas of the image. This is where my new discoveries come into play.

To explore how we do this, let us take a calibrated image fresh from a digital camera in which the colors and their shadings do behave as described above – that is, a starting image that has color integrity. We want to make the image darker, but we want to maintain color integrity as we do so. Above we moved an imaginary colored patch into different lighting conditions to see how it behaved. Now it is helpful to think of each tiny bit of color in our image is such a "patch." Whatever happened to the color of our reference patch when we made it darker by moving it into areas with dimmer lighting, that same thing has to happen uniformly to all the colored "patches" in our image. As we prove elsewhere on these pages, doing this is very simple – we just add black. To darken the "patches" of color that make up the image we must add black to each color in the same way that an artist-painter might add black paint to darken a colored paint on the palette. To darken the entire image uniformly we need to mix in the same amount of black to the color of each color patch in the image, resulting in exactly the same effect as if we had dimmed the light source. This idea of "adding black" to darken an image probably seems obvious now that it has been explained and is not at all difficult to do to a digital image. But you won't find anything similar to "add black" in the Photoshop plethora of commands nor is it particularly easy to ferret out exactly how you might achieve that result in Photoshop. Even then the tool may work in some cases and not in others. Apparently this "obvious" approach really is not all that obvious!

Suppose now, instead of darkening the image, we wish to make it lighter. Again, it is very easy to achieve that. We simply reverse the above and remove black instead of adding it. To uniformly lighten the image we remove the same amount of "black paint" from the color of each patch of color in the image. Again, this is easy to do for a digital image, just the reverse of adding black. A painter would find it difficult to remove black paint from an already mixed color!

"Adding black" also plays a less obvious part in properly dealing with color. The terms "white balance" and "color balance" are commonly used in dealing with the fact that the human eye automatically "accommodates" so that it sees as white – or nearly so – whatever light source predominates in any scene under view. Neither photographic film nor the sensors in digital cameras do this and so the image nearly always must be adjusted – white balanced or color balanced – to achieve the same effect as the eye's accommodation. To understand what is happening here we need to look at the scene in the way the camera does, with three image sensors, one for Red light, one for Green light, and one for Blue light. When this set of sensors produces an image under what it regards as "white" light the resulting calibrated and uncorrected digital image will look correct when properly displayed. However, suppose the light is really reddish (like a regular light bulb, compared to daylight). The human eye will compensate, so the scene still will look normal, but the resulting digital image will appear reddish because the Red component of the digital image is too bright. We can deal with this just as we do when the entire scene is too bright. We found that adding black to the color of a color patch produces the same effect that dimming of the original light source would have done. In this case, however, only the red component of the patch is too bright, so we add black only to the red component rather than to all the colors of the color patch. In this way we dim the red only and exactly compensate for the non-whiteness of the light source in the scene. Of course we can use the same procedure of adding – or removing – different amounts of black to the red component, to the green component and to the blue component in order to color balance the image with a result that is similar to what the eye sees automatically. Again what we describe here is something an artist painter cannot do, but in this case it is no great loss since the artist finds it unnecessary. The eyes serve as sensors for a painter and so the artist has no problem similar to photographic color balance in the first place.

In the above we have learned that by using actions which effectively "add black" or "remove black" from the colored "patches" (pixels) in a digital image we preserve and maintain the color integrity of an image. Black is colorless, so this makes sense and in fact seems obvious. But white is also colorless. Is "adding white" the same as "removing black"? The answer is no. When we say "adding" here we do not mean "adding" in the mathematical sense, but in the sense of taking some colored paint and adding white paint to it or adding black paint to it. If you add some black paint to some colored paint and find that you have added too much black, adding white paint will not reverse the effect and get you back where you wanted to be. Seeing this in your mind is easier if you take an extreme case. Suppose you had a spoonful of red paint and you mixed in into a cup full of black paint, so the result was nearly black with a very slight red tinge to it. If you mixed a cup of white paint into that, clearly you would not get back your original red color, but instead a middle gray (black plus white) with only a slight red tint to it.

Nonetheless, as you would expect, white has no color and so "adding white" is another tool that preserves color integrity. The reason that "adding black" works is that it makes color "patches" behave as they would as the image lighting produces different levels of dark and lightness in the scene and so "adding black" is recognized by the eye as being natural. "Adding white" turns out to be exactly what happens in the areas of a scene that are bright enough to produce glare (or specular reflection). As the glare increases in bright objects more and more white is added to the color in the color patches. "Adding white" also turns out to be exactly what happens in a natural scene where there is fog. The individual "color patches" in the scene are the color that they would be without the fog but with white added to them. Again, just as it is possible to "remove black" in digital images it also is quite possible to "remove white" and indeed as is shown in the Fog Example section of this document, removing white from an image of a foggy scene can do a quite convincing job of removing the fog. You will not find any tool similar to "add white" in Photoshop. Unlike black, the tool for adding white is not just hidden in an unexpected place, it simply is not there. You can sometimes combine several actions and achieve the action of adding white but even that is not dependable.

In summary we have learned that to have color integrity in a final image the first step is to get the image into the computer using a calibrated device, and that the most problem-free calibration is done using a grayscale. The resulting image will have color integrity as a starting point. Then the major adjustments of color balance and of the tonal scale should be done using tools which preserve the color integrity. We have found that the required tools are those which can add and remove black and those which can add and remove white to the color in the "color patches" that make up the image. For tonal scale adjustments there is nothing saying that there must be a consistent amount of white or black added to or removed from each of the color patches, so adjustment of the tonal scale can be made quite differently in different parts of the image without affecting color integrity – but only if it is done by adding or removing black or white to or from the color that would be in the patch. In the case of adding black in different amounts to the single color channels of Red, Green, and Blue in order to achieve color balance, there does need to be a consistent amount of black added to groups of patches which have the same light source.

So, the starting point for color integrity is a properly calibrated image which accurately represents the image colors as they appear in darker and lighter areas. Then to maintain color integrity as you adjust the image or parts of the image, the rule is to work by adding or removing black or white. Once you have grasped it, this seems such an obvious rule that surely it must be a core principle behind digital photography. Yet as this is being written, far from being a core principle, it is so completely unknown that in Photoshop, acknowledged as the premier image editing program, the tools to perform these four basic actions range from difficult to find to nearly impossible to achieve. In general, other image editing programs fare no better. In addition, many actions taken under the guise of "Color Management" actually subvert the well-planned ICC design. As one result, it has become more and more difficult to get an image from a digital camera into a computer without having color integrity lost from the start. Our ColorNeg and ColorPos Photoshop plug-ins are capable of adding and removing black and white, but there is room for improvement as a result of this study.

So, you have already redecorated your home. You even bought a new couch! However, do you find that something is not quite right? You can not put your finger on it, but there is something left undone. Could it be the lighting? No, no the new light fixtures are stunning. Maybe it’s the faucets. No, that brushed nickel looks very lovely and elegant. Wait a minute, and I believe that it just may by, the doors.

Many interior decorators, especially do it your self, take doors for granted. Everyone does. Doors are such a part of our daily life, and yet they blend in with the background so well that we pretty much forget about them.

Chances are you have had in at least one of your homes or apartments those awful particle board doors with the bland knobs that are just planks of lumber painted and propped against the frame. Doors do not have to be this way at all. Doors come in a variety of woods such as pine, oak, and walnut, and in a variety of styles.

If you want to find the right door for your home, exterior or interior there are a few things to consider before you dash off to your local lumber yard. Match doors to the period of the home. If you have a house that dates back to the 1920’s try and finds an entry that captures the vintage feel of the place.

Of course, if you want a striking look to the exterior of your home, you can throw this advice to the wind, but it just may make your home look awkward and shoddy so use caution and a keen decorating eye. Do not adorn your door with a fancy knocker and knobs unless you are going for that more opulent style of Victorian England. If you have decorated your interior in a Mediterranean vibe, find a door to compliment, such an entry with warm colors.

When you have decided on the style of door make sure you measure, measure, measure. If you do it yourself, you may want some help with this as you will measure every conceivable portion of the door and door frame. Doors do not have to be boring. They shouldn’t be as they are the first things visitors and guests to your home will see before entering. So, make a great impression and find a door that suits your style.

Log Homes

Handcrafted Log Homes incorporate the original and traditional methods of the log homes built by the early settlers with the latest technology available. At Canada Wood Fibre Corp., we are proud to say we build Handcrafted Log Homes using logs in their purest, most natural form. We do not use milled logs, where each log is a carbon copy of the next. Rather, each log in a Handcrafted Log Home is as unique, in itself, as a snowflake. Why change what nature has already perfected? In essence… we build a log home that does not compete with the natural beauty of a forest, but complements and reflects your chosen surroundings.

The technology has changed…

Log Home then...

Log Home then...

but we’re still handcrafted.

Log Home now...

Log Home now...

Canada Wood Fibre Corp. is dedicated to excellence in design, craftsmanship and quality. If properly designed and built, handcrafted log homes are one of the most enduring and beautiful forms of construction that exist in the world today. View our log home plans with many designs available.

You may click the boxes below to see slideshows of our log home interior and exterior pictures.

At Canada Wood Fibre Corp. we realize that the quality of a handcrafted package bears direct relation to the skill, knowledge and craftsmanship of the builder. Our professional crew of builders are chosen for their ability to create homes that surpass any other on the market.

...Choosing the right log home company may very well be the most important decision you will make in taking your vision to reality.

Included in our Log Home Kits:

  • All homes built using good quality winter cut house logs.
  • Wood species determined by customer.
  • Each log hand peeled and full length scribed, using Norweigan Wedge Notch, Saddle Notch, or notch of your choice on corners.
  • All window and doorway openings cut to size, keywayed and flared back.
  • All loft beams flattened on top to receive T&G flooring.
  • Upstair balconies with log posts and log railing.
  • Roof ridgelog and purlins with correct roof pitch cut.
  • Interior and exterior of package sanded.
  • 4'-0" overhang on gable ends and 2'-6" overhang on pitch ends.
  • All exterior corners curled, sanded and chamfered.
  • Tennon and mortice log staircase with log railings and posts.
  • Log King post trusses.
  • Interior log railing with posts.

  • All settling jacks supplied for main floor posts.
  • Package to a minimum height of 9'-0".
  • One man to supervise the re-assembly on your foundation.

Building your own log cabin home is an extremely exciting and adventurous prospect, but one that also involves a magnitude of choices, challenges, and decisions. With the popularity of log homes rapidly growing there is a noted growth in the number of family residences, as well as commercial buildings such as lodges, restaurants, hotels and office complexes being built from logs. With this growth log home construction companies must learn to take upon it themselves to do extensive research in the actual performance of their log structures. Those interested in building their own homes are increasingly asking questions relative to the thermal, fire, and wind resistancy of log home construction, as well as complete information of the type of species available, foundation and subfloor requirements, delivery, what is included in kits as well as building techniques. We have provided a very detailed information guide pertaining to handcrafted construction for those of you who wish to obtain further research prior to building.

Brookside War Memorial

Brookside War Memorial 10-11-2014On one of my trips to Wib’s BBQ, I finally stopped to visit the Brookside Park Memorial to Veterans of All Wars, sponsored by the Jackson Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10495 and the American Legion and their auxiliaries.

If I had been thinking, I’d have queued this up to run on December 7 to remember Pearl Harbor.

In a way, though, it is fitting that it didn’t run on that date. Since we have men and women in harms way all over the world every day, it’s appropriate not to pick a “special” day to recognize them and their families. We should remember them EVERY day.

I’ll break the photos into galleries by conflict. Click on the photos to make them larger, then use your arrow keys to move through the images.

I have to admit I’m a little confused at how the names were selected. I tried to cross reference some with The Missourian’s book, Heartland Heroes – A Tribute to Korean and Vietnam Veterans, and found names on the memorial wall that weren’t in the book and vice versa.

 Panorama of Memorial Wall

Brookside War Memorial 10-11-2014This is a panorama created from six individual frames merged into one image by Photoshop. A couple of frames didn’t match up exactly, but it will give you a feeling for the overall scope of the memorial.

Let’s hope it doesn’t need to be expanded any time soon.

Seeing the Elephant

West Palm Beach National Guard unit at Camp Blanding summer campIt was the summer of 1975. Saigon had fallen and the Vietnam War was over. My draft lottery was high enough that I wasn’t called, even though my draft status was 1A for a brief time in 1969.

I talked The Post into sending me to Camp Blanding with a local National Guard unit for a week of summer camp. I wrote about the experience in 2012. On this Memorial Day weekend, my thoughts turn back to that era.

National Guard was a safe haven

West Palm Beach National Guard unit at Camp Blanding summer campThe unit was a mixture of young guys with long hair who wore wigs over their tresses serving alongside men with gray in their hair. One guardsman wore jump wings on his cap and sported tattoos on his arms listing almost every major battle in the Pacific during World War II.

Seeing the elephant

West Palm Beach National Guard unit at Camp Blanding summer campThe phrase “seeing the elephant” popped up in many Civil War letters and diaries, but Curator Jessica said it’s been around longer than that. G.W. Kendall, in Narrative of the Texan Santa Fe Expedition in 1844, wrote, “When a man is disappointed in any thing he undertakes, when he has seen enough, when he gets sick and tired of any job he may have set himself about, he has ‘seen the elephant.'”

I didn’t know much about the background men in the unit, but I could see in the eyes of some of the guardsmen they were looking way beyond the pines and palmettos of north central Florida. What was a war game to most was very real to some.

2000-Yard Stare

West Palm Beach National Guard unit at Camp Blanding summer campLife Magazine published a painting by World War II artist and correspondent Tom Lea in 1945. The 1944 panting of a Marine at the Battle of Peleliu – the site of the highest casualty rate of any battle in the Pacfic –  became known as the 2,000-Yard Stare.

Lea said of his subject, “He left the States 31 months ago. He was wounded in his first campaign. He has had tropical diseases. He half-sleeps at night and gouges Japs out of holes all day. Two-thirds of his company has been killed or wounded. He will return to attack this morning. How much can a human being endure?”

Memorial Day is more than picnics and a day off from work.

The News from Delta

Burfordville NewsOne of the most challenging jobs I had in my newspaper career was a brief stint as District News Editor at The Southeast Missourian. Denny O’Neil, who had been herding the cats we would call “citizen journalists” today left town in a hurry, so I was nominated to take over the slot.

Every morning, I would slit open hand-scrawled envelopes containing “news” that these people would file. In print, they were called Correspondents. In newspaper jargon, they were called “stringers,” who were paid per published inch. Since many journalists are math-challenged, we would measure the published columns with a string, then measure the string to arrive at the number of inches, hence the name.

If we were lucky, the stringer, who might be filing the same stories to three or four papers, would type the copy. If you were even more lucky, you might get the original or one of the top carbons. I usually didn’t have that kind of luck.

Sometimes the stories would be typed in black ink. When that started getting light, they’d switch to the red part of the ribbon, Eventually you’d get something like this: a page that just peters out with a penciled note, “Sorry hope you can make this out. my typewriter ribbon just gave out.”

No, your ribbon gave out about two weeks ago. (Click on the photos to make them easier to read (except for this one. Nothing is going to help it.))

Ann Withers from Delta

1965-12-18 Chicks Delta News by Anne Withers 8One of our long-time stringers was Ann Withers from Delta. She and her husband Andy operated a service station in the tiny town best known for being a speed trap halfway between Cape Girardeau and Advance. He ran the garage and she handled the gas station side.

Her stories were heavy on the doings of Ann and Andy. Being a serious journalist, I edited her copy with a meat axe until here was nothing left but the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How.

One afternoon, Editor John Blue came over to give me some guidance. He said to cut people like Ann and Rip Schnurbusch in Old Appleton some slack. “Not much happens in these little towns, so they make do the best they can. Besides, their little asides are what make their columns fun to read.”

Since I now write in much the same Ann and Rip style, I can appreciate what jBlue was saying.

She loved blood and gore

1966-02-26 Deaths redacted Delta News by Anne Withers 12Ann loved to provide more detail than what most of our readers wanted to encounter over the dinner table. I can imagine her leaning over the gas pumps getting the full scoop from the local railroad gang. (I’ve removed names from this offering to protect the privacy of family members.) She also tended to run stories together, leading to a blending of a gruesome railroad accident, a gunshot suicide and the passing of a well-loved citizen all in the same paragraph.

I never figured out Ann’s penchant for inserting random extra spaces between words and punctuation marks unless she thought she was paid by the typed inch instead of the printed inch and she was going to stretch it as much as possible.

OK, THIS one was funny

Music mystery Delta News by Anne Withers 9Proving that even a blind hog can find an acorn from time to time, this account of mystery music was funny. Since the “beloved senior citizen” wasn’t named, I wondered if it might have been Husband Andy.

Andy Withers died in 1979

Pigeon Delta News by Anne Withers 4Here is Andy Withers’ obit from the July 25, 1979, Missourian:

Delta–William Andrew (“Andy”) Withers, a businessman here for many years, died at 8:15 Tuesday night at Chaffee General Hospital. He was 74 years old. Mr. Withers was born May 3, 1905, near Delta, the son of Frank and Selena Lewis Withers. He had resided in the Delta community his entire life.

On Dec. 27, 1927, he married Miss Ann Cracraft at Cape Girardeau. For 38 years, he and his wife owned and operated Withers Service Station and Garage here. He was a member of the Delta First Baptist Church and the Whitewater Masonic lodge.

Surviving are his wife; brothers, John and Louis Withers, both of Florissant, James Withers, St. Louis, and Arthur Withers, Clinton, Md., and sisters, Mrs. Herbert Schlegel, Cape Girardeau, and Mrs. Glenn Chateau and Mrs. Jeff Thomas, both of St. Louis.

Service will be at 2 Friday afternoon at the funeral home in Delta, with the Rev. Ronald Shrum, pastor of the Delta First Baptist Church, officiating, assisted by the Rev. Jack Owens. Burial will be in Memorial Park at Cape Girardeau. Members of the Whitewater Masonic Lodge will serve as pallbearers.

Ann Withers died in 1988

1965-01-22 Grandparents Delta News by Anne Withers 3Here is her obit from The Missourian on Dec. 1, 1988:

Delta–Service for Ann C. Withers will be held at Ford & Sons Funeral Home in Delta at 1:30 p.m. Friday, with Rev. Kenny Martin officiating. Interment will be in Cape County Memorial Park.There will be an Eastern Star service at the funeral home at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

Withers, 77 years old, of Delta, died Wednesday, Nov. 30, 1988, at southeast Missouri Hospital. She was born March. 9, 1911 at Jackson, daughter of John W. Cracraft, and Margaret Statler Cracraft.

She married W. A. “(Andy”) Withers on Dec. 27, 1927, in Cape Girardeau. He preceded her in death July 24, 1979. Survivors include a brother, Lynn Cracraft of Carlsbad, Calif.; two stepsisters, Mrs. Carmen Golightly of Cape Girardeau, and Mrs. Ruth Miller, of Sandusky, Ohio. She was preceded in death by 6 brothers and one sister.

Withers was a member of the First Baptist Church of Delta, the Whitewater Eastern Star Chapter 174 and the VFW Auxiliary 3838 in Cape Girardeau.

She and her husband owned and operated Withers Garage and Service Station in Delta 38 years, retiring in 1966. she was the Delta news correspondent for the Southeast Missourian, the Chaffee Signal, and Advance News.

[Editor’s Note: jBlue would have given the writer of this obit a royal reaming. You NEVER referred to someone in an obit by their last name, particularly if it was a woman: you used the full name or a courtesy title with the last name. It was also style to stick a “the” in front of Rev.. The writer also failed to capitalize “The” in the newspaper’s name in the last graf. There is a better than even chance the obit was written by the funeral home, but a Missourian copy editor should have caught those errors. Unless, of course, that was in the era when the paper didn’t care about such niceties.]

Donkey ball game postponed

1966-03-1966 Donkey Ball Delta News by Anne WithersThe excitement of a donkey ball game had to be put on hold because the donkeys scheduled to play were killed in a fire.

Vietnam War touches Delta

1966-01-021966 Vietnam Delta News by Anne Withers 10I can picture Carl Dayton Poinsett’s mother telling the story about her soldier son in just that breathless burst. Maybe Ann was a better writer than I gave her credit for.

jBlue was right: I should have passed on more of her copy.

Cpl. Robert Taylor 1947-1968

When I wrote about ’64 classmate Gary Schemel being killed in Vietnam, Bill East quickly pointed out that the Class of 1964 had also lost Bobby Taylor in the war.

Sondra Cook chimed in, “Both Gary and Bobby were great guys. Bobby went to Washington Elem. and was a one semester behind me until the infamous Cape summer school when the “B” classes made up the semester of work. Gary moved to Cape when we were in Jr. High. My eyes still tear every time I go to the Vietnam Memorial or see the Visiting Wall and find their names.”

Bob’s name on Freedom Corner

A plaque on a pillar in Capaha Park’s Freedom Corner lists some of Cape Girardeau’s Vietnam casualties. There was some discussion here about other Cape names.

Larry Saddler: “[Gary] was a great guy. I lived within blocks of both Gary and Bob Taylor (also a great guy). Looking back I think they both died for absolutely nothing. I’m a big flag waver, but I think we wasted many lives with that war and I wonder if in the future many supporters will think we are wasting lives in our current conflicts. I think of Gary, Bob, and also Earl Tharp often, wondering what their lives cold have been if they had lived. I’m also thankful they were willing to serve. God bless them all.

[A Missourian story reported Earl Tharp, the 20-year-old son of a Cape Girardeau minister, was killed in June 1970 when enemy mortal fire hit his base camp in Vietnam.]

Burt Lehman: “I remember them both. Bob Taylor was like an older brother. We had great times together. I served in Vietnam and I am proud of my service to my country. The war was won after Tet of 1968, but somehow turned into defeat by media and politics. Gave the NVA and Viet Cong just enough encouragement to carry on the war. We were ultimately fighting “for” each other so I don’t believe that any of us died in vain. We still embrace as brothers no matter what our politics are. I have the greatest respect for Gary and Bob for the sacrifice they made.”

 First flag for Parade of Flags

A Missourian Out of the Past column about a 1987 story said “Early response has been good for a Parade of Flags that will be on display near the war memorial in Cape County Park on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day; the first burial flag turned in as part of the display honored Robert L. Taylor Jr., who was killed in the Vietnam War.

Bob’s brother, Tom, honored his memory

Tom Taylor posted a tribute to his brother on his Facebook page. I asked for permission to reprint the photos and some of Tom’s remarks. Most of these were downloaded from Facebook. Here’s Bob as a Troop 15 Eagle Scout in 1963.

Bob as SEMO student

Tom said that Bob attended Southeast Missouri State College in 1966-67.

Worked as a lineman

Bob’s deep tan was a result of his work as a lineman the summer before he joined the military, Tom said. The picture was taken at his home, probably in 1966.

Bob Taylor in Vietnam

From Tom: Bobby (far right) with his squadmates in Vietnam; probably the last photo of him before his death.

In the 1986 movie  “Platoon,” actor Willam Dafoe played Sgt. Elias and actor Tom Berenger played the scar-faced Sgt. Barnes. Elias treated his men with respect, and took new soldiers under his wing, teaching them how to stay alive. Barnes treated his men with contempt, putting the newest soldiers out front like cannon fodder.

From all accounts, Bobby was like Elias. He always took new soldiers under his wing and taught them how to survive.

Bob was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. His citation says, in part, “Through his untiring efforts and professional ability, he consistently obtained outstanding results. He was quick to grasp the implications of new problems with which he faced as a result of the ever changing situations inherent in a counterinsurgency operation and to find ways and means to solve those problems. The energetic application of his extensive knowledge has materially contributed to the efforts of the United States mission to the Republic of Vietnam to assist that country in ridding itself of the Communist threat to its freedom.

“His initiative, zeal, sound judgement and devotion to duty have been in the highest tradition of the Unite States Army and reflect great credit on him and the military service.”

Simon Sinek on Inspiring Others to Be Happier and More Optimistic

In Chapter 3 of 16 in his 2009 Capture Your Flag interview, author and public speaker Simon Sinek elaborates on his stated goal to "inspire people to do the things that inspire them." Underlying "Start With Why" author Sinek's perspective is an immense amount of positive energy geared to make people happier and more optimistic. Further, he discusses how reaching individuals' within their company environment and changing company culture for the better can make a difference. Simon Sinek teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. Sinek is the author of two books, "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Come Together and Others Don't" and "Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action". He is a public speaker, an adjunct professor at Columbia University and a Brandeis University graduate.

Erik Michielsen: Your stated goal is to Inspire People to Do the Things that Inspire Them.  Can you elaborate on that?

Simon Sinek: Absolutely.  It is the reason I wake up every day.  I'm a firm believer that if every single one of us worked on the things inspired us, if the hobbies were the things that inspired us, it makes us happier people.  If everyone did that, imagine what a great world we would live in.  When statistics are explained about unemployment for example.  We know that American unemployment is up to 9%. The way I look at that, it means that 91% of people still have a job. I see the world, with 91% people that still have a job, if you want to inspire people, get to them at their jobs.  The more companies that create cultures that inspire people to come to work.  Those people come to work happier, they come to work are more inspired, they do better work, they are more productive, they go home happier, they have happier families.  It is the way I see the world working one day, I hope.

Home & DIY,  Home Safety

The Worst Creepy Crawlies To Have Roaming Around Your House

While none of us like bugs or creepy crawlies roaming around our homes there are some pests that are worse than others. Some of the nastiest critters that can invade your home are those that cause damage like termites, or those that have the horror factor like spiders, stink bugs and cockroaches. The best way to avoid these pesky invaders is to deny them entry by installing screens and sealing all gaps. Stylewise Security use heavy-duty tear-resistant mesh that is an excellent way to stop bug infestations but if you do come across some of these critters in your home it is probably a good idea to call the exterminator- quickly.

Destructive Termites

Termites are one of the worst pests to invade your home as they can eat through timber beams and supports while remaining undetected. They hate light and will eat the heart out of timbers while retaining a thin exterior of wood to hide their presence. Often the first thing an unsuspecting homeowner will come across is hollow wood where a beam once was. Barrier treatments and regular inspections are the best deterrents. It is also important to make sure wood is not stored near the home’s exterior.

The Dreaded Cockroach

Nothing inspires horror in the kitchen quite like the appearance of cockroaches and rightly so. These pesky little critters can carry up to 33 types of bacteria as well as six different parasites and seven pathogens. They are tough to get rid of and are reputed to be able to survive a nuclear holocaust. In fact cockroaches can live without breathing for 45 minutes and they can survive a whole month without eating. They eat anything including hair, toenails and eyelashes and they breed profusely. The best way to avoid these dreaded creatures is with a regime of baits placed in dark areas like behind the fridge and under the sink.

Beware Spiders

Many people actually have a phobia about spiders. The thought of eight hairy legs tracing their way across one’s face while sleeping is enough to send some people into hysteria. While spiders come in all shapes and sizes, their appearance has nothing to do with whether or not they are venomous. Some of the smallest spiders are deadly, while the larger and creepier varieties like the Huntsman are not harmful to humans. The vacuum cleaner is the most effective and safest way of removing spiders and their webs from inside your home. The best defence against an infestation is keeping your house well sealed and having regular pest sprays by a qualified operator.

Stink Bugs Stink!

Another particularly gruesome creep crawly to invade your home is the stink bug. While they don’t bite people,they do emit a horrible smell when touched or disturbed. This is part of their defence mechanism.

If you are like the average human and don’t like things that creep and crawl, particularly inside your home, then get to work and inspect the exterior of your house for cracks and cavities. Stopping bugs entering is still the best way of avoiding them.

I am only just now learning of Alma’s passing. During my short time at Saint Luke’s, Alma was one of my favorite visitors. We had some wonderful conversations and I was always happy to see her when she stopped by. She was a lovely woman and having met her was truly my pleasure – I will remember her fondly. Rest easy Alma!

Curtis, Shirley and family,

Sorry to hear of Alma’s passing. She was a lovely lady. My thoughts are with you at this time.

I’m shocked to here about ”Mudder”, she was a lovely woman. A devoted wife. She always offered a quiet place to sit to take a break (and hide for 5 minutes), her candy dish was always full, she was never short of the good knitted dish cloths. I know Ralph is ecstatic to see her, even though everyone else is saddened to lose her. I really enjoyed their company. I’m sorry for your loss! She will be greatly missed!

Shirley and Curtis. Deepest sympathy on the passing of your much loved Mother. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Curt, Shirley and family
It was an honour and pleasure to have met and cared for your family members. Alma will be fondly remembered for her generosity (sharing her dolphin plants and knit creations with us) and smiling eyes.
She will be missed

So sorry for your loss.Your mother was a wonderful woman. I’m sure she will be missed.

Curt, Shirley and Family,
Condolences on your loss. Alma was a warm, kind and welcoming heart. There are many happy memories of trips to the Burin, having a stiff swallie with your folks, and of course, Alma’s famous pan fried cod – absolutely the best. Not to mention her plastic canvas and knitting! She was a gem and will be truly missed. Sending love and hugs your way.

To the Bonnell family please accept our most deepest sympathys at the loss of your mom

CBSE Curriculum Prepares Students Better for Competitive Exams

For the past few years students and parents have preferred CBSE over the state board as the CBSE curriculum prepares students better for competitive exams. Regional officer of CBSE, K K Choudhury, said, "CBSE declares results on time. Besides, they conduct All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) and Pre Medical Test (PMT). So, CBSE students are well acquainted with the pattern of questions for the competitive exams."

Out of the 800 CBSE schools in the northeast, Arunachal Pradesh has the maximum number of these schools. Arunachal Pradesh also has state board schools. Assam has around 170 schools including Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas and other private schools. The city has around 43 CBSE schools. "Schools following the state board curriculum have now adapted to the CBSE syllabus as a sizeable number of the students want to shift to CBSE board after Class X," he said.

Some are proud to have made the shift. Principal of South Point School, Barsapara K Chanda said, "We were the first school to adapt to CBSE curriculum after following the state board syllabus for around 30 years. We got affiliation in 2003. We decided to shift because the state board failed on all quarters and the evaluation was also poor."

Others lauded the effort CBSE has put in to enrich its syllabus. Principal of GEMS International School, Lokhra Chariali J N Das, said, "CBSE syllabus is updated unlike the state board which is following the same curriculum for decades now. The NCERT curriculum is well researched and the books too are standardized. The SEBA books never help those who opt for IIT entrance exams and seek admission outside Assam."

This apart, boards such as ICSE and even International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) seem to have better career prospects for students, feel parents. Though, there are only four ICSE schools and one IGCSE school in the state, parents like them better because of their updated syllabus and good evaluation system.

"There are less numbers of ICSE schools compared to state board schools. But parents and students are happy with their curriculum. I come from a SEBA affiliated school but can't vouch for an improvement in their curriculum," Dhiman Roy, whose son is admitted to an ICSE affiliated school, said, adding, "Students in Assam are talented. They, too, want to get admitted to the top colleges of the country. But following the state board curriculum makes it difficult for them to get through to colleges in Delhi and even Kolkata.
