In News, Stories

Wayne first connected to Wesley programs twenty years ago when he was homeless and addicted, drinking non-consumables like mouthwash. “I was very sick, my liver was shot,” he remembers.

He started drinking alcohol when he was in grade 9. By the time he was twenty, he was living in shelters and on the streets. “I was drinking all the time, partying, doing drugs and getting into a lot of fights. I could easily have up to twenty drinks a day,” Wayne says.

Wayne’s story is part of a tragic piece of Canadian history, known as the Sixties Scoop. “I was born in Saskatchewan in the Peepeekisis Nation and was abused physically and mentally,” he quietly shares.

When he was eight years old, he was adopted by a family in Ancaster through the Children’s Aid Society. “When I was adopted, I changed my name to Wayne, after my hero Wayne Gretzky,” he said, smiling as he recalls this moment.

In his early twenties, Wayne worked as a general labourer and as a library clerk but his alcoholism always got in the way of keeping any work long-term.

Wayne was one of Wesley’s first residents in the Claremont House, now called the Special Care Unit, for women and men living with homelessness and addictions. He remembers how much he liked having his own bedroom and the comfort this brought to his life.

He also sadly remembers how no one else from his ‘street family’ at that time made it except for him. “We were fading fast. I must have gone to over twenty funerals. It was so sad, those people were like my family.”
Wesley’s support has been a constant in his life over the past two decades, as well as his adopted Dad who would often visit Wayne at Wesley. Sadly, his Dad is now sick with cancer, but Wayne still talks with him frequently.

In May, Wayne went back on the streets for a month and our housing staff quickly found him new accomodations.

He continues to come to Wesley Day Centre and accesses the health and recreation activities we offer. This recently included a cooking class to make stuffed peppers and a mindfulness session, although he jokes, “I’m not much of a good listener!”

Wayne has a hard time walking, despite having back surgery six years ago. But he is grateful for the life he has, “I know I’m lucky to be here now,” he says.

Like Wayne, most homeless people have experienced childhood trauma and this motivates our significant programming with vulnerable children, youth and families.

If you’d like to support folks like Wayne, facing significant barriers in their lives, please consider making a donation to our programming.

Rapidly rising rents, the opioid crisis and reductions in several key grants increasingly make us rely on donations from individuals like you.

Marker Text

Originally a 218.02 acre Spanish land grant to Valery Bergeron in the late 1700’s, Warwick Flanigan built in 1860 a Greek Revival mansion for Isidore Daigle. In 1871 property sold to Auguste J. Levert, Sr. and Leon Bernard. Levert bought Bernard’s interest in 1874 and remained the sole owner until his death in 1886 when his three sons became heirs. August J. Levert, Jr, bought his brothers’ interest in 1888.

A tornado nearly destroyed the plantation home in 1906. The home was rebuilt in 1907 and later destroyed in 1932 due to the Mississippi River levee set back. A portion of the plantation remaining after the levee set back was sold by heirs of Auguste Levert, Jr. to James H. Laws and Co. as part of Cinclare Plantation on May 27, 1943.

The Levert family still owns 398 original plantation acres west of Louisiana Highway 1.

Over 100 folks were on hand Sunday, August 20, 2006, as the West Baton Rouge Historical Association and the August J. Levert, Jr, Family LLC dedicated a State of Louisiana Historic Marker at the sight of the St. Delphine Plantation known as “The Big House” near Addis. General Manager Paul M. Levert welcomed the crowd as family and friends gathered to witness the special event. Erika Baumann, daughter of Paul and Linda Levert lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Deacon Sammy Collura of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Brusly lead the prayers and blessed the marker after it was unveiled by family members Amanda Arnold and Katie Levert. August J. (Butch) Levert, Jr. read a brief history of St. Delphine and the Levert family as compiled by his wife, Juanda.

Brusly Councilwoman Joanne Bourgeois read the wording and as representative for the Historical Association thanked the Levert family for their generosity in funding the new marker. As West Baton Rouge (WBR) marker Number 16 it will serve to tell the story of the Levert family and home to all those who pass down Historic River Road for years to come.

Local officials adding remarks included Parish President Riley “Pee Wee” Berthelot, Jr., Addis Mayor Pro-Temp Harry Landry, and Mayor Joey Normand of Brusly. Paul Levert closed by thanking everyone for attending, especially those family members who came from as far away as Opelousas, Ville Platte and Lafayette. Everyone was invited to the Brusly Town Hall for refreshments.

Special thanks were given to all of the following program participants for their valuable assistance in making this marker possible:

  • Butch Leger
  • David Wise
  • Mike Varnado
  • Shintech Corporation
  • State Historic Preservation Department
  • Steve McLin

Written by Mrs. August J. (Butch) Levert, Jr. (Juanda Levert)

The St. Delphine Plantation originally began as a 218.02 acre Spanish land grant to Valery Bergeron in the late 1700’s. It was later sold, first to Jean Baptiste Hebert in 1807, then to Bellony Hebert, then to Louis Daigle in 1815 for $1,650. In 1825, Louis Daigle sold to Joachim Daigle and Joachim Daigle re-conveyed the property to Louis Daigle. Near the end of the same year, Louis Daigle sold to Isadore Daigle for 1,200 piastres (Spanish coins.)

Isadore Daigle

Isadore Daigle, married to Celeste Delphine Molaison, owned and lived in a small house on the plantation which he presumably named St. Delphine in honor of his wife according to the then prevailing family tradition. The plantation, which comprised by this time with acquisitions, totaled 1,200 acres and was planted in sugar cane.

Construction of the Mansion

On June 15, 1859, Mr. Daigle entered into a contract with Warwick Flanigan for the construction of a mansion on St. Delphine Plantation at a price of $14,000. The original contract is on file in the Louisiana State University (LSU) archives. The cost of the mansion eventually totaled $20,000. Although the architect is unknown, certain similarities between St. Delphine and other antebellum homes suggest the possibility that Gallier, the renowned Greek architect from New Orleans was the designer.

Daigle Sold the Home

After L. Isadore Daigle’s death, his son eventually sold the plantation to Auguste Levert, Sr. and Leon Bernard. In 1874 Auguste Levert, Sr. bought Leon Bernard’s interest for $10,000. After his death in 1886, his heirs operated the plantation under the supervision of Auguste Levert, Jr. In 1888, Auguste bought the interest of his brothers, Amadee and John B. for $36,666.66 and became sole owner of St. Delphine.

Remodeling of the Mansion

On October 5, 1906, a tornado nearly demolished the mansion. It was remodeled according to plans and specifications prepared by Favrot and Livaudais, architects from New Orleans. The repairs took almost a year to complete.

When Mrs. Auguste Levert, Jr. vacated St. Delphine in 1921, her son, Sidney A. Levert, Sr. moved into the mansion. He resided there with his family, and with the widow of his deceased son, Bud and the children of her marriage to Sidney a. Levert, Jr, three generations living together again. In 1932, a setback of the Mississippi River Levee took the mansion, which had been the scene of innumerable parties, family gatherings and elaborate entertainments.

Demolition of the Mansion

The night before the mansion was demolished, a large farewell party consisting of friends and relatives was held to pay last homage to “The Big House” as St. Delphine was affectionately known to the family. Refreshments were served in the dining room, a band played from the back of the downstairs hall, and dancing was enjoyed by all. For the last time the walls of the stately old mansion rang with music and merriment, conversation and laughter. The finale was played and sung in the early morning hours. The next day, wrecking crews began the demolition which marked the end of a beautiful West Baton Rouge Parish landmark, and in turn, heralded the end of an era.

There was a time in our fair state when the Detroit Tigers were really good. And 35 years ago, they proved it.

To day marks the anniversary of the first of three titles for the 1984 Tigers, the AL East.

The 'Bless You Boys' team would also go on to American League and World Series championships, but first things first, a wire to wire run to the Division title, clinched with a 3-0 win on September 18, 1984, over the Milwaukee Brewers at the old Tiger Stadium.

Local TV station WDIV broke into regular programming to cover the celebration at Tiger Stadium. Who remembers Roger O'Neal? He was a late season minor league call up who shut out the Brewers, with help from Willie Hernandez to clinch the pennant.

They are the 4th team in the 20th Century to remain in first place from wire-to-wire, joining the 1927 Yankees‚ and the 1955 Dodgers. The 1990 Cincinnati Reds would later join that list.

Here's the final three outs as called by Hall of Fame announcer Ernie Harwell.

And check out the VCR burn at the beginning of this footage of local news covering the title.

Pork Belly Pochero

Did you know that this colorful and flavorful dish that we inherited from the Spanish was in early years actually considered the peasants’ stew in Andalucia, Spain? Well, it is because they used to make this stew with the cheapest cuts of pork, beef, and chicken.

Pochero wteph

The Filipino Pochero is slightly different from its Spanish counterpart because it has tomato sauce and it. What sets it apart from the other tomato-based stews is the ripe plantain banana that adds a certain sweetness to it.

  • 800 grams pork belly cut into cubes
  • 2-3 Tablespoon oil
  • 2 ripe plantain bananas, each cut into 3 pieces
  • 1 small carrots, cut into chunks
  • 1 big or 2 medium potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 2 gloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 Tablespoon fish sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 cup chickpeas (garbanzos), canned
  • 2-3 cups (pork) broth or water
  • 1 bunch Pak choi, the base cut
pochero wteph 1
  1. Boil pork belly in water until it becomes tender. Separate the meat and broth when ready to cook.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pan or a pot and fry the potatoes, carrots, and bananas until the edges are slightly browned. Remove from oil and transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same oil saute garlic, onion, and tomato until limp.
  4. Add the pork belly cuts and the tomato paste. Season with fish sauce and ground pepper.
  5. Next, add back the fried potatoes, carrots and banana plantain (saba) and also the chickpeas.
  6. Pour in the broth/water and let it simmer to cook the potatoes and carrots and until the broth turns into a thicker sauce.
  7. Lastly, add the pak choi and turn off the heat. Cover the pot for 3 minutes to cook the pak choi.
  8. Serve hot with rice.
If the plantain bananas are not sweet enough, add a teaspoon of sugar.

View Hardy’s “My Town’s Bigger Than Your Town”

Hardy On The Loud-And-Proud Genesis Of His Debut Single

Country newcomer Hardy isn’t afraid of the word “redneck.” In fact, he wears it as a badge of honor in his chest-thumping new single, “Rednecker.”

Full of twangy, distorted guitars, foot-stomping drums and the Mississippi native’s down-and-dirty vocal drawl, the country rock anthem is all about about establishing his “county-line cred” – so don’t bother arguing over who’s “rednecker” than who. Hardy’s pretty much guaranteed to win.

“I’ve killed catfish with shotguns,” he says with a wry laugh, speaking with Sounds Like Nashville while hopping airports on a promotional tour of radio stations. “We used to trap wild hogs and take ‘em up to this guy who would keep ‘em to train his dogs with, and I’ve got the arm band that gets you into the county fair in my hometown tattooed on my wrist. There are so many things …”

Hardy – the stage name of singer-songwriter Michael Hardy – got his start as a Music Row tunesmith, honing his tightly-coiled brand of backwoods badassery with platinum-certified No.1s like Morgan Wallen’s “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line (he can even been seen in the beginning of Wallen’s “Up Down” video) and FGL’s “Simple.” But with “Rednecker” and two new EPs – This Ole Boy and Where to Find Me – he’s forging his own path.

“It’s where I came from and the language I know to speak,” he says about of single’s middle-of-nowhere grit. “I feel like that, more than any other way of writing, is what I know to do the best. I’ve never gotten heavy into writing love songs, and the truest thing I can say is what I come from. I’m from the country. I’m just a good ole boy.”

“Rednecker” was written a little over a year ago with Jordan Schmidt and Andy Albert while the buddies were visiting Colorado. One of them, he’s not sure who, said “I’m rednecker than you,” and all three busted out laughing. That’s where the song got its start.

“We were in Colorado, so you can take a guess [about why we were laughing] from that,” he says. “It’s always this thing like ‘Is that a song? You think we can pull that off?’ So we walked upstairs and wrote the whole song. It started off just being funny, but we also knew it was good.”

A few weeks later the trio met up in Schmidt’s studio and fleshed out the song’s hard-driving sound, and the rest is history. “It just took on this cool vibe like ‘Man, this is funny, and it’s tough. But I bet it can appeal to a lot of people,’” Hardy says.

“My town’s smaller than your town, and I got a bigger buck and bass on my wall,” goes the chorus. “I’ve got a little more kick in my drawl, y’all, I’ve got a little more spit in my chaw.”

Soon enough Hardy signed a record deal with Big Loud Records and “Rednecker” became his first radio single. He’s been taking it out on the road with Wallen’s If I Know Me Tour – playing to rowdy, sold-out crowds all across the country – and Hardy says one thing’s for sure. He finds proud rednecks everywhere he goes.

“I’m not gonna lie, I think there might be just as many rednecks – if not more – up north than there are in the south,” he admits. “One time I drove from Buffalo, New York, to Albany, and I had no idea it was like Texas. There are signs on the road saying ‘Next gas station 40 miles.’ There’s a whole lot of nothing up there.”

Hardy’s certainly drawing attention with his own tunes, but he’s also still collaborating with his superstar pals. He’s featured as an artist and a co-writer on Florida Georgia Line’s “Y’all Boys” from their new album Can’t Say I Ain’t Country, and says part of the reason they work so well together is the duo’s willingness to stand out from the crowd

“I’m all about just really going for it, and being fearless about what you’re going to say,” he says about his songwriting approach. “Weird lines will always stand out over time, but I feel like country has gotten away from being ‘not safe,’ and I just don’t understand why somebody wouldn’t want to go for it and say something cool. There’s a lane that’s wide open for that.”

With more tracks like “Rednecker” on his This Ole Boy and Where to Find Me EPs – which are out now – Hardy will do his best to keep filling that lane. Fans can check him out on Florida Georgia Line’s Can’t Say I Ain’t Country Tour this summer.

Radiometric dating facts for kids

Radiometric dating often called radioactive dating is a way to find out how old something is. The method compares the amount of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, in samples. The method uses known decay rates. It is the main way to learn the age of rocks and other geological features, including the age of the Earth itself.
Fetish new jersey
Radiocarbon dating is a method that provides objective age estimates for carbon-based materials that originated from living organisms. The impact of the radiocarbon dating technique on modern man has made it one of the most significant discoveries of the 20th century. Archaeology and other human sciences use radiocarbon dating to prove or disprove theories. Over the years, carbon 14 dating has also found applications in geology, hydrology, geophysics, atmospheric science, oceanography, paleoclimatology and even biomedicine. Radiocarbon, or carbon 14, is an isotope of the element carbon that is unstable and weakly radioactive.

Best of the Best: Fitglow Beauty Lip Colour Serums

The Best of the Best is a series showcasing my favorite, tried-and-true, go-back-again-and-again green beauty brands. Being a beauty blogger, I’m in a constant state of flux with skincare and cosmetics, as I’m always trying new products. However, these brands are always in my rotation and are worthy of my highest recommendation.

from top to bottom: Go, Buff, Nudie, Liv, Root

I am such a fan of Fitglow Beauty. From their Redness Rescue Cream, which is a godsend to those with redness/rosacea/sensitivity, to their Conceal + (a full coverage concealer sent straight from the undereye gods), I am so on board with the products and philosophy of this company.

However, there is one product that is legitimately coveted by yours truly. We’re talking Holy Grail here. I simply cannot live without the Lip Colour Serums.

left to right: Go, Buff, Nudie, Liv, Root

These lip serums are so much more than lip gloss. They plump, they hydrate, they make my lips look impossibly fuller. And the scent? Straight from vanilla mint heaven. Never sticky or too “glossy,” they feel absolutely amazing on the lips. I truly can’t say enough about these serums.

So how do these serums make my lips so dang soft and lovely? Well, they are made with Organic Pomegranate Plant Sterols, Beet Extract, Vegan Collagen, and antioxidants that help improve lip cell structure and health, as well as diminishing fine lines. (Which this 43-year-old very much appreciates.) Organic pomegranate sterols penetrate lips and hold double their weight in water to increase hydration, improve moisture barrier function, and enhance lip fullness. Vegetable micro collagen is fundamental to maintaining the structure firmness and plumpness of lips, and Organic beet extract improves lip circulation to promote detoxification and plumpness. And what about this plumping? How does it happen exactly? Well, it occurs due to a combination of organic phospholipids from bio ferment extracts that naturally plump the lips without irritation. The moisture in our skin causes these vessels to swell, resulting in a minimized appearance of fine lines and increased lip fullness.

BAM. Plump lips ahoy.

My two most-loved colors? It’s tough, but I I would have to say…

Buff – a creamy, toffee nude (it was limited edition, sadness)

Nudie – creamy cool pink nude

I adore those two, although Deep (from the Holiday Duo) comes in a very solid 3rd. I love Deep’s gorgeous merlot color. It’s the darkest of the shades I have, but still looks impossibly chic day and night.

Right now, Fitglow is offering their Holiday Lip Colour Serum Duo which is just gorgeous! The two shades in this duo are Juice (a lovely cherry red) and Deep (a darker Merlot). The two shades are so wearable and leave the prettiest red wash on the lips – they look beautiful on a variety of cool and warm skin tones.

Also! Use the code WHOORL15 for 15% off your order. You will absolutely love these lip serums. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!

    Can you compare these to the Vapour Elixer Gloss? Loner lasting? More plumping? Colors? I love Vapour’s Shiva Rose and Bitten, wondering if Fitglow is worth the extra $$. Thank you!!

      Fitglow is creamier and makes my lips look plumper. Plus, it’s a serum so it actually leaves my lips feeling/looking better. (And the scent is to die for.)

    Would you be able to compare these glosses in terms of creaminess/hydration to the Kosas lipsticks? Those are the only lipsticks I’m able to wear because any others dry my lips out.
    Thank you!

Co-op Education

Career Development

WSU’s Career Development Center provides real-world experience to Shockers before graduation through our cooperative education and internship program. By participating in a co-op or internship, WSU students can have it all: a packed resume, college credit, professional connections, a paycheck — and in many cases, a job offer — putting them light-years ahead of the competition.

NAME Meghan Carver (photo top)
MAJOR Integrated Marketing Comunication
CO-OP Textron Aviation

Over the past few years, Wichita residents have strived to build their city into a place residents can be proud to call home. Meghan Carver, a Wichita State student majoring in Integrated Marketing Communication, is passionate about the city she’s from and works hard to spread Wichita pride through her work.

That passion can be seen through her involvement in Avenue Art Days, a volunteer-based organization created by the Douglas Design District.

Local artists come together to paint murals all along Douglas Avenue for Avenue Art Days. Last year’s launch was held at the I-35 underpass among murals from past Avenue Art Days.

The event gives Wichita artists and art lovers the chance to get involved in the development of the urbane aesthetic that’s growing throughout the city. Meghan was responsible for running social media accounts for Avenue Art Days, helping with marketing and the mural crawl.

Since starting at WSU in fall 2015, Meghan has taken every opportunity she can to gain hands-on experience to grow her job readiness skills. Her jobs have included working as a student event coordinator and in The Public Relations Institute for the WSU Office of Undergraduate Admissions; interning at Textron Aviation in community and engagement communications; and working for The Greater Partnership of Wichita.

After graduation, Meghan plans to get a master’s in public administration to further her career in community engagement and economic development.

A bit about me

Ever since I have been interested in film,Tarantino has always been an idol of mine. His first film that I ever watched was Pulp Fiction and it still remains my favourite film of all time. (I know its a bit of a cliché but its true!) I also love Reservoir Dogs and all of the movies that Tarantino has had a hand in. I do enjoy Scorsese Gangster flicks and I am a huge Coen Brothers fan. My favourite actor has to be Robert De Niro with Samuel L as a close second. oh and I cannot stand Nicholas cage.

I studied Film and Media in College and I intend on studying film and media production in university later this year! I hope to become a film journalist one day.

To Do List

1. Write a review on the book Tarantino The man,The myths and his movies

2. Continue to edit and improve the wiki

3. Help Sebastian and the other editors make this shit hot website even better!!

For various reasons, the commenting facility on the wiki is turned off. Similarly the comment facilities on the blogspot blogs is turned off, although for >>different reasons. (Or you could read even More On Comments.)

So you might not be able to tell me something you want to.

If you want to send me feedback and/or comment on anything you see here, feel free to send email to:

Keep in mind that everything sent to this address may be used in future posts. Of course, it could be roundly ignored; however, this constitutes fair warning: if you don't want it published, don't send it to me.

Note that since is already being fraudulently used as envelope header information for spam, I'm currently eating between 50-100 postmaster reports (plus my usual load of 100 or so pure spam) every day; so having this email out in public isn't likely to make things any worse.

If you have the urge to abuse me in person, I am usually on IRC; I'm xdroop on >>mWtNet, lurking usually in #sporks and #ncr. Direct message me and say your piece, I'll get back to you.

Chocolate Press, The

From Wikidelphia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Chocolate Press gives the following descriptive information:

We produce culinary molds for chocolates and cookies using high quality FDA approved materials. At present we don't directly sell chocolate, at least not till we have an appropriate venue to work from.

Our chocolate molds are generally produced using a 2 part system resulting in a chocolate bar with a bas-relief image on it. We intend to branch out to making more elaborate 3D sculptures, but that will have to wait until we have a 3D scanner set up.

Sadly our chocolate demo imaging program is down until we update it for HTML5. Till then feel free to email images to for a free consultation and screenshot of how it will turn out. Not every image will be instantly convertible into a chocolate bar, logos are generally easy to convert, but as the system operates via height mapping, many images won't work without a bit of editing.

Our latest product is the CAD for Cookies program, which allows anyone to make custom cookie cutters. The program is free and links to our 3dHubs site where you can upload the file produced from our program to get it 3D printed.

Dan Foster, Executive Managing Director at Newmark Knight Frank and Chris Volney, Senior Director, CBRE Labor Analytics, spoke with Area Development about the less tangible site selection factors, such as local culture and quality of place, at our Miami Consultants Forum.

3 Cs Video

What is the “soul” of your company? Many corporations and corporate executives have a firm understanding of what is at the heart of their company: culture. Mission and vision statements, codes and ethics, employees and employee handbooks all serve as windows into the “soul” or internal culture of a company. And the impact of culture on a company cannot be understated—it is vital. Without culture, business organization won’t be sustainable.But what about the soul of your company’s surrounding community? Is it important to your business and its success? For many executives, the culture of their current or prospective communities can be much more difficult to discern than that of their own organizations. But, in site selection, community culture is where the magic happens.

Many companies are no longer just looking for communities that match their business needs—they are looking for places that match, convey and personify their company’s culture. Look no further than VF Corporation planting its sustainable roots in the green-oriented city of Denver, or tech startups that flock to sunny and prosperous Silicon Valley in pursuit of talent and to keep their eye on the competition.

That’s where successful EDOs come into play. No matter what your industry or type of company, honing in on the strategic integration and alignment between corporation, culture and community is vital to ensuring a successful site selection, and in turn, a successful organization.

Just as mission and value statements serve as windows into the soul of a company, an EDO should provide a crystal-clear window into the soul of their community. And, more important, an EDO should creatively show your company’s reflection in the window.

What your EDOs can do
While you might have a firm grasp on your company and every aspect of its culture, it is impossible to have your finger on the pulse on every prospective community in the nation, or even on what you believe to be your wish list. Knowledgeable and helpful EDOs can play a critical role in connecting your company and its culture with the right community.

How does this translate into real-world site selection? Well, if your company has a passion for healthy living and sustainability, a successful EDO will guide you through site visits to LEED certified buildings rich with greenery and wellness-focused amenities, such as roof gardens and health centers. They may also take you to prospective sites that are surrounded by bike paths that allow health-conscious employees to easily get to and from work.

What if sustainability isn’t your most important goal? Maybe proximity to public transport, urban centers, talent and competition is what your company desires. Whatever is at the forefront of your organizational culture, a savvy EDO will show you what their community brings to the table and how it can uniquely suit your needs—while also being clear, transparent and honest about its limitations.

When an EDO immerses your decision makers in the local culture with early morning jogs on the nearby hiking path and sit-down lunches at local restaurants, you can get a better idea of the community’s culture. Creative and thoughtful approaches to showing you how your employees will engage with the community if you locate there demonstrate that the EDO is excited about your company’s potential move.

Moving forward
While your company and its culture are vital to its success, bringing in the third “C” of community can unlock unharnessed potential of your site selection. So long as you team up with an EDO that paints a vivid and honest picture of how their community aligns with your company’s soul, your company, culture and community will thrive together.

Labor availability is generally the number-one concern of growing companies that need to locate a facility in a new location. Therefore, a company’s site selection team needs to determine which regional markets can satisfy that need. A regional market analysis will identify growing markets that provide the best chance to connect with customers and suppliers and gain the workers needed for success. Data points include population growth, GDP growth, unemployment levels, income growth, and poverty reduction, just to name a few.

However, beyond the data points, a company seeking a new location must also ascertain if a prospective community aligns with their organization’s culture. For example, if a company’s mission statement stresses wellness and sustainability, then communities that have a similar focus should be on its radar. Honing in on the strategic integration and alignment between corporation, culture, and community is vital to ensuring a successful site selection.

Of course, project timelines must still be met. The difference between being able to break ground in six months versus 18 months could be the difference between a project’s success or its failure. Sites that are equipped with roads, water and sewage connections, and permitting in place can prove advantageous.

That’s why states that are investing in infrastructure upgrades are getting noticed. For example, to keep up with the needs of business and industry, Louisiana has undertaken several major infrastructure projects at its airports and ports. And Georgia is a top-ranked state for its distribution and supply chain hubs. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the busiest airport in the world, with total cargo warehouse space of 1.3 million square feet, and the Port of Savannah, the largest single container terminal in North America and the second-busiest in the U.S.

North Wilkesboro, N.C. — The success of a low-cost farm equipment rental program in Wilkes County and a growing need for additional equipment has led the Golden LEAF Foundation to award a $63,000 grant to the Wilkes Economic Development Corporation. The Wilkes EDC will manage the funds with the N.C. Cooperative Extension and the Wilkes Cattlemen’s Association which will use the grant to purchase four pieces of new equipment: a Titan West portable corral, a tandem axle fertilizer and lime spreader, a 500-gallon liquid applicator and an Arrow Cattle handling system.

“Golden LEAF is pleased to support this collaborative effort to increase access to equipment for local farmers,” said Ted Lord, Acting President of Golden LEAF. “This grant responds to a clearly identified demand of the local farming community and expands a program that has demonstrated its ability to maintain its existing equipment using rental fees.  We look forward to continued outstanding results from this program.”

In addition to the Golden LEAF grant, the Wilkes EDC plans to contribute $15,000 and the WCA plans to contribute $5,000 to purchase a vehicle to transport the equipment to farmers utilizing the program.

“This low-cost rental program is a beacon of how collaborations can have a long-term economic impact on a regional industry,” said LeeAnn Nixon, president of the Wilkes Economic Development Corporation. “The program began in 2014. Funds from the Golden LEAF Foundation allowed for the purchase of four pieces of farm equipment at a cost of $27,500. Additionally, in 2017 Wilkes EDC contributed $16,175 for two more pieces of equipment to the program. Low-cost rental fees cover maintenance of the equipment. Since the program’s inception, 65 producers were assisted 154 times, processing over 7,100 animals with an estimated increase in profit to the producers of $532,000.”

Nixon added, “John Cothren, N.C. Cooperative Extension director, has been using his personal vehicle to transport rented equipment to farmers throughout Wilkes and neighboring counties. While this shows his sincere dedication to the success of the program, the purchase of a vehicle totally devoted to the program provides a long-term solution to the logistics of delivering the equipment to the farmers.”

Wilkes ranks third in the state for production of poultry broilers and beef cattle, fifth for hay, and tenth for poultry layers. Wilkes is the state’s seventh largest county in agriculture cash receipts. The agricultural impact on the county was around $551 million in 2017, making up 36 percent of the county’s GDP and providing 22 percent of the county’s jobs.

“Younger farmers are challenged with continuing in the farming tradition due to the lack of access to and the high cost of necessary equipment,” said Cothren. “I believe this rental program provides valuable assistance to farmers. It supports agriculture as a way of life in Wilkes; it helps existing farmers who are challenged when buying expensive farm equipment; it provides support to those who are considering agriculture as a career; and it helps strengthen farmer relationships with the extension office, which provides further education and is an ongoing resource to farmers.”

The program began with a vision to help farmers in Wilkes County affordably access farm equipment; however, Cothren has also established relationships with farmers in Surry, Yadkin, Iredell, Caldwell and Alexander counties who needed the equipment rental program. Awareness of this great need prompted the Wilkes EDC, along with the Wilkes Cattleman’s Association, to seek additional funds from Golden LEAF to secure farming equipment that is currently not available to rent locally and make it available through the low-cost rental program.

For more information on the farm equipment rental program, contact John Cothren, Wilkes County extension director, at 336-651-7348 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The Golden LEAF Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1999 to receive a portion of North Carolina’s funding received from the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement with cigarette manufacturers. For 20 years, Golden LEAF has worked to increase economic opportunity in North Carolina’s rural and tobacco-dependent communities through leadership in grantmaking, collaboration, innovation, and stewardship as an independent and perpetual foundation. The Foundation has provided lasting impact to tobacco-dependent, economically distressed and rural areas of the state by helping create 64,000 jobs, over half a billion dollars in new payrolls and more than 77,000 workers trained or retrained for higher wages.

The Wilkes Economic Development Corporation, a 501 c3 public-private partnership, aims to facilitate the creation of new jobs and capital investment in Wilkes County through the retention and expansion of existing businesses and the recruitment of new businesses. The EDC is located at 213 Ninth Street in historic downtown North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

North Carolina Cooperative Extension partners with communities to deliver education and technology that enrich the lives, land, economy, and families of North Carolinians. N.C. Cooperative Extension is a strategic partnership between N.C. State University and N.C. A&T State University along with federal, state and local governments. The N.C. Cooperative Extension provides offices in all 100 counties and with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Its Wilkes County Center is located at 416 Executive Drive in Wilkesboro.

Wilkes Cattlemen’s Association hosts regular meetings to provide educational opportunities and support to local farmers.

Wilkes Economic Development Corporation (Wilkes EDC) has released a new website as a resource and marketing tool for our citizens, entrepreneurs, existing businesses and those who are exploring relocating their business to Wilkes County. “Having a strong digital presence will enhance Wilkes EDC’s ability to accomplish its mission of facilitating the creation of new jobs and capital investment,” stated the Wilkes EDC President, LeeAnn Nixon.

Choosing an Eye Doctor

When considering a potential eye doctor for optical services, consider such factors as:

  • Experience and credentials
  • Commitment to achieving your best vision results
  • Personalized one-on-one time with the eye doctor
  • Eye doctor's willingness to address all of your questions and concerns

Choosing an experienced eye doctor is important. An experienced eye doctor has seen more vision cases than an inexperienced eye doctor, and may be more adept at preventing, diagnosing and treating vision problems. During a consultation or beforehand, you should ask about the eye doctor's credentials, including checking for the eye doctor's license to practice and for where the doctor went to school.

Additionally, you should feel comfortable around your eye doctor. You should feel like you can bring up your questions and concerns, and that your eye doctor will take the time to answer them. Good communication with your eye doctor is key to achieving your vision goals.

Dr. Stephen Wilmarth is a board-certified ophthalmologist and has been practicing eye care for more than three decades. Dr. Wilmarth is dedicated to achieving each of his patient's best vision, and he provides the personalized care necessary to achieve this result.

If you are searching for an experienced, knowledgeable and caring Sacramento eye doctor, please contact Wilmarth Eye and Laser Center to schedule a complimentary vision consultation.

Why NC Film supporters in NHC must vote in the Primaries.

The primaries are coming up on March 15th and whether you are affiliated or unaffiliated with any party, I can tell you, it is crucial that we get the right representative in the NC House when it comes to NC Film. NC House District 20 is saying goodbye to Rick Catlin. Who will replace him?

There are two choices. None from the Democratic side. There are two Republicans that are running. Tammy Covil and Holly Grange. Catlin is rooting for Covil and from what I hear is going out with a bang when it comes to film.  I’ve heard from multiple sources that Catlin’s last hurrah is attempting to try to change the House members’ minds about NC Film.

The House was our friend last time around, it was the Senate that gave us most of the trouble. So, the last thing we need is less support from the NC House and it is CRUCIAL for you to vote in the upcoming primary. Why?

Because there are no Democrats running and two Republicans who are. Only one of which can win the primary. Whoever wins the primary will win the seat.

Holly Grange is our only hope who is extremely pro-film.

Covil, is NO FRIEND to NC Film. Let’s also not forget, now more than ever, we need more Republican support for NC Film.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are registered as an Independent or Unaffiliated, you can still vote in the primaries!

You will be asked which party you want to vote for. I personally will be choosing the Republicans this time around. There is too much at risk not to.

The One-Stop Absentee period for the 2016 Primary Election begins on Thursday, March 3, 2016 and ends on Saturday, March 12, 2016. To see the One-Stop voting schedule for the 2016 Primary, click here.

So please, if you support NC Film, get to the polls during the One-Stop period or on the day of March 15th! If you are able to vote in NC House District 20, please support Holly Grange.

Windows 10 notification tells Firefox users to switch to Microsoft Edge

Battery drain is one of the major problems that affect almost all smart devices, from smartphones to the latest laptop models.

Nowadays, users are more concerned about battery life as compared to the past.

The same problem affects web browsers as well. Web browsers are one of the most used programs on computers, as well as smart devices.

As a matter of fact, Microsoft regularly runs various tests to compare browsers in terms of battery life. The tech giant uses Chrome, Firefox and Edge to track battery drain across various devices.

Most tests confirmed that Mozilla Firefox drains more battery as compared to other browsers. However, Microsoft has now started warning Firefox users about it as well.

Windows 10 users reported that they are seeing the following message on their systems.

Chrome is draining your battery faster. Switch to Microsoft Edge for up to 36% more browsing time

People think that Microsoft is simply advertising its upcoming Chromium Edge browser. One of the users reported on Reddit:

Microsoft and google seem to both partake in this behaviour making Firefox a less useable browser than their own.

Firefox battery drain notification

Redditors pointed out that Microsoft adopted the same strategy for Internet Explorer as well. The company had to face the consequences as it got sued in Europe.

Here are 5 browsers to significantly extend your laptop’s battery life.

It looks like some people don’t mind such notifications. They think that Microsoft is doing the right job by notifying its users about those programs that consume more power.

It’s also not new, they’ve been doing this in Windows 10 for a long time. I actually don’t mind that the operating system might notify me when a particular application is consuming higher than average power. That’s great information for me as a user. Just don’t use it to try to onboard me to a product.

Time will tell how Microsoft Edge performs in terms of battery life.

Meanwhile, if you think that Firefox consumes more battery power it’s time to switch. You might need some time to get comfortable with the new browser.

Speaking of switching to a different browser, we recommend using UR Browser. This privacy-focused browser won’t drain your battery.

All that hard work will pay off when you will not have to frequently deal with low battery problems.
