But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth.
(Deuteronomy 8:18 ~ NAS)
Day 11 Of The Law Of Attraction. Ideas and opportunities are the way God brings favor to you. His Plan requires action on your part. Leave 1 Dollar is just a start.
And a "start" is all it is.
All my simple method does is open the door for the circulation of money in your life. The idea that just by giving some money away, a greater abundance of it will automatically fall out of the sky is completely off base.
This is where churches fail their congregations. Sermons asking you to tithe even when you are going without...to "give until it hurts" do a great disservice to their membership.
Yes, giving...of both money, and our time and talents...is a part of God's Plan, but living in poverty is not.
If giving were the only way to gain wealth on God's Earth, why isn't everybody in church rich?
When you give unselfishly, when you stay focused on God's promises, when you treat others the way Jesus treated everyone, when you give thanks for the blessings you experience throughout the day...God will present you with ideas and opportunities to significantly increase your wealth.
NOT sacks of money...ideas and opportunities.
As the Scripture above states: He is giving you the power to make wealth. Not lounge on the couch and expect the FedEx guy to deliver some anonymous bags of gold coins.
In my own experiences, God provided me with the idea to start an online business that generates excellent money. He also presented me with a huge opportunity to invest the money I made selling my tract home in 2008, when the rest of the economy was crumbling.
I have definitely been blessed, but I know it happened because I moved my feet in accordance to God's path for me.
The Law of Attraction is all about action...both mental and physical. God loves us, and he gives us the power to make wealth.
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith
without works is dead also. James 2:26 ~ KJV)
I chose the Salvation Army Store to leave one dollar. There are all kinds of great places to hide a dollar bill.
I went in there to purchase some sweatshirts to leave for the homeless guys at the park, downtown. I plan to use this place a lot more. There are all kinds of vases, decorative jars, music boxes, make-up boxes...you name it...to hide a dollar bill.
I may start taking a couple dollars in there when I buy more sweatshirts.
While eating breakfast at IHOP, this morning, I got the opportunity to promote Dr Joe Vitale's Law Of Attraction Practitioner Certification course.
Is this something everyone on the path must have? Certainly not.
But for those who want a more solid connection with The Law, or think they may want to present it in future community meetings, (or meet-up groups) it is a goldmine.
I have seen other companies charge close to $500 for a home study course in The Law Of Attraction. Dr Vitale charges less than fifty.
I am thankful I have the time, opportunity and money to eat breakfast at IHOP, and I am thankful for the ideas I receive when I am there.
I'm sure it works the same for you.

With more than 50 million adults and children in the U.S. having some type of arthritis, it's no laughing matter that it's the leading cause of disability in our country.
We asked members to provide tips on how to manage arthritis, and many of them gave the same advice – a healthy diet and exercise can make a big difference on how well arthritis can be managed. See their tips below.
Please note that the following tips from members do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Blue Cross and Blue Shield. These tips are intended as general information only. Please consult your physician for specific advice.
I have arthritis and joint problems. My knees, my hips and my shoulders keep me tossing and turning in bed all night. Sometimes the pain is semi-tolerable. Sometimes the pain brings me to tears. Conventional treatments are out of the question. I cannot take steroids, so shots are unavailable for pain relief. I also cannot take over-the-counter medications like NSAIDS.
A pain management specialist gave me two choices: opioids or physical therapy. I will not take opioids by choice, so I elected to participate in physical therapy. Because I cannot engage in conventional exercise, the specialist recommended aqua therapy, which has proven beneficial on several fronts. Aqua therapy (water resistance exercising) keeps me limber and strengthens my core. It has been extremely beneficial in getting those endorphins (the feel-good chemicals in the brain) firing.
Do I still have pain? Yes, but I have less pain and a feeling that I now control it — pain no longer controls me! Chronic illness does not have to be an ending. It can instead be the transition to a "different" beginning. How you view it and how you effectively deal with it is not about what you can't do any longer, rather what you still can. As Grampy used to say, "focus on the doughnut, not the hole."
— S. Baldock
I have significant osteoarthritis of my cervical and lumbar spine and in my fingers. My way of dealing with the pain and stiffness is stretching daily and participating in water aerobics classes five days a week.
— B. Shurley
I have arthritis (seems like everywhere), and it is pretty severe. I have a high tolerance for pain, so I just "keep on, keeping on," but the pain is a constant presence.
My neck started to hurt so much that I was reluctant to turn my head to check to see if anyone was behind me when driving. When I backed into a vehicle, I said enough is enough — I need to do something. My orthopedic doctor suggested physical therapy, which made a huge difference.
My physical therapist was excellent in helping adjust my attitude and get better. After I "graduated" physical therapy, I continued doing exercises at home. A year later, I still have pain, but not so much that it ruins my day. The new attitude and exercises help significantly.
I also keep my weight at what I weighed in high school — not an easy thing to do — by eating a low-carb diet. I try not to take Tylenol or Advil for arthritis pain, and save it for real pain, like a pulled muscle or an unexpected wound of some sort. I find that "keep on, keeping on" is the best medicine so far.
— J. Palmer
About 17 years ago, I began to experience recurring bouts of gout in several different joints. The attacks were acute and frequent enough to become debilitating. By re-energizing my exercise regimen and modifying my diet, I have not had an attack in over eight years. And for the last six years, I have not required any medication.
— R. Sedlock
I have only the beginnings of arthritis in my hands. At night when trying to sleep, my hands are often aching. I found that rubbing a cream with lidocaine on my hands can help ease the pain, and I am able to fall off to sleep.
— C. Rodriguez
About 15 years ago, when I was in my late 30s, I met with an orthopedic surgeon to see if he could help me with my back and other aching joints. He told me that I had the arthritic back of an 80-year-old, and he didn't recommend surgery for me because there were too many problem areas. I went home saddened that there wasn't much that could be done for the pain. I wound up irritating my stomach by taking ibuprofen almost daily for years.
About three years ago, I started eating a low-carb diet. Less than a month into it, I got up one morning and braced myself for the pain that I always experienced when my feet hit the floor. Instead of creeping along for the first 10 or 20 steps until some of the aches wore off, I stood up straight in surprise and walked along at a good clip. My feet and legs didn't hurt! And neither did my back! As time went on, I felt better and better, and I appeared to be aging in reverse. People are usually surprised to find out that I'm in my 50s.
To go with the pain relief, I have been able to stop taking all the medications (prescription and over-the-counter) that I was taking before. The prescriptions included those for blood pressure, cholesterol and even hypothyroidism. I was also on the verge of becoming a type 2 diabetic, but my blood sugar and A1C are now perfect. All that I take now are some select vitamin supplements daily.
Fast forward to today: I have lost around 40 pounds (about 10 to go to reach my goal), and I literally could run circles around my old self. I still work a desk job, and I don't have a lot of time for exercise, so the only change that I made was in my diet. My diet consists primarily of meat, eggs, low-carb vegetables, some cheese and occasional berries. No sugar, no grains, no potatoes, no high-sugar fruits. My doctor has told me to "keep doing what you're doing." The changes in my body have been nothing short of dramatic.
— D. Jones
I have osteoarthritis. To manage it, I keep moving, eat healthy and get as much rest as I need. OK, sometimes I get less than I need, but mostly I manage it by not thinking about it. If I thought about it, I'd obsess over it and magnify the smaller twinges into big ones. I don't have time for that.
— C. Buchanan

The sunny weather of the past two days has already come and gone. Le sigh. The pictures I took are leaving me nostalgic. Here's hoping the sun comes back soon! I'm so much more cheerful when it's here. I mean, the south of England really isn't as dreary and rainy as everyone makes it out to be (me included) but after a few days of complete sunshine, you really notice how….gray….it can be around here.
One of my favorite parts of meandering along the seafront is the architecture of the buildings that exist there. Some are ugly-believe you me, it's like the 80s just popped up and never left-but the rest are gorgeous. I don't want to overstep my boundaries of architectural knowledge, but the presence of Regency, Art-Deco, and Victorian styles all in one place is real eye candy any day of the week. I also love a good bit of wrought iron.
And I present to you the one patch of sand in all of Brighton, haha.
And another thing to keep one's eyes peeled for? The graffiti that's everywhere, most of it really well done. I personally love this guy. So cute!
Raaar dino box!

LILY: Yeah, she hit me.
ME: Where did she hit you?
LILY: On the hand.
ME: Why did Miss Angie hit you?
LILY: Because I wouldn't go to sleep.

For the past several years, we've been engaged in a dialogue with the Fire Department about how best to embrace two critical public safety needs: fire safety and street safety. The Fire Department has advocated for wider streets, given the size of its trucks, whereas wider streets are more dangerous for all users, leading to increased speeds, more accidents, and more severe accidents. We want our fire trucks to be able to get to fires and other emergencies quickly, and, in fact, our department does an outstanding and heroic job doing just that. We also want our streets to be safe -- we have way too many accidents that injure or kill pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers -- and good street design is essential for safe streets. If the Fire Department is concerned about its trucks ability to maneuver on San Francisco's many, many narrow streets, the Department needs to evaluate how it can improve its trucks' ability to maneuver those streets.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. A Basic Common Emitter Amplifier Schematic. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. A Basic Common Emitter Amplifier Schematic. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. A Basic Common Emitter Amplifier Schematic. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Educator Sandro Cusi teaches Orchid Propagation
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens is a 2013 recipient of National Gardening Association's Muhammad Ali Center Peace Garden Grant, unwritten by Yum! Brands Foundation and in partnership with The Muhammad Ali Center. The Vallarta Botanical Gardens is one of 160 programs to receive support and funding for peace studies and hunger and nutrition awareness. Since 2011, over 15,000 youth have participated in programming supported by this funding initiative.
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens, located in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, is a growing 20 acre paradise that provides opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and most important, education for local residents, youth groups, and tourists. Focused on conservation and research, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens holds classes on ecology, caring for the environment, gardening, edible plants of Vallarta's forests, and an introduction to tropical dry forests of Western Mexico. Each year, over 2,000 local youth visit the Vallarta Botanical Garden free of charge. Youth groups and organized school visits make up 60 percent of the audience for classes and instruction.
Many lessons for youth focus on the orchids and bromeliads that are native to the area. Vallarta Botanical Gardens educators use these epiphytic plants to teach about the entirely different world that exists in the canopy of a tropical forest. The variety in form, color, and survival techniques these plants display provides plenty of wonder for visiting classrooms, especially with displays at the gardens that bring these naturally inaccessible plants down to eye level.
Students explore a portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range containing an estimated 400 species of birds and 300 varieties of orchids.
Coming up in March, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens will be celebrating their annual Capomo Harvest Festival, which attracts youth and the community to enjoy culinary delights made from the capomo tree (Brosimum alicastrum). This tree has both historic and environmental importance to the area and is a prolific provider of nutritious seeds during the late winter and early fall. From beverages such as capomo coffee to maza (dough) for tortillas to zesty salads made with its fleshy outer pod, these trees offer a bounty of culinary uses. ″These trees [capomo] are disappearing in nature especially in heavily grazed areas, so teaching about their culinary uses also promotes their conservation,″ comments Neil Gerlowski, Executive Director of the Gardens. ″We hope that more of the local community will see their forests and ranches as vital components of an amazingly diverse forest ecosystem whose long term future depends on the decisions they make to use their land and plants sustainably.″
Students explore observe waterlilies and aquatic life near the Hacienda de Oro Visitor Center.
In an effort to strengthen education efforts and to expand upon learning opportunities, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens is now working to build its newest and most ambitious addition to its living classroom -- the Vallarta Conservatory of Mexican Orchids. Fundraising started in earnest for this project in September 2013. Since then over $200,000 USD have been raised to allow for Phase I of construction to begin this year. Garden staff, board members, and volunteers are now hard at work to raise the remaining $150,000 necessary to complete this project. Once completed, the new conservatory will not only have world-class display and interpretative areas but a functional orchid propagation laboratory connected to visitors through a glass public viewing window.
The Hacienda de Oro Visitor Center complete with areas for educational programming, a restaurant, hall of flowers, and stunning views of the mountains.
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens began in 2004, when Robert Price of Savannah, Georgia joined the ranks of retirees in the tropical paradise of Puerto Vallarta. His passion for plants soon drove him up into the mountains surrounding this lovely beach community where he was amazed at the botanical diversity found upon every step. What he didn't find was a botanical garden anywhere near Vallarta where he could learn about the plants he was encountering. So with a bold investment of almost his entire retirement savings and the generous support of his mother and a few close friends, Bob purchased a 20 acre parcel of forested property overlooking a crystal-clear mountain river and began building a botanical garden. Now, eight years after opening to the public, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens (VBG) is now one of the top garden destinations in the country and an honored benefit and resource to local residents.
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens received the 2013 Muhammad Ali Center Peace Garden Grant for their efforts to support youth education programs.Learn more about the Vallarta Botanical Gardens.

By The Gentleman
So the other day I was watching an episode of Jamie and Jimmy's Food Fight Club and they kept going on about how beer cocktails are the big thing in drinking at the moment. It was also an episode where Jamie and Jimmy said huckle-my-buff so many times it became a form of torture and I wanted to huckle Jamie's buff to make him stop, but it did get me thinking that I hadn't had a beer cocktail yet.
I skipped through my books to see if I could find any interesting beer cocktail recipes, but nothing took my fancy. There were either a version of 'shot and a brew' or something akin to a shandy. Not that there's anything wrong with those combinations, I'll probably try them later, but I was feeling a little more adventurous. I eventually searched online and adapted the Weissen Sour from here. It was an interesting drink that grew on you over time.
Bengali Strepsil
1 1/2 oz Maker's Mark bourbon
3/4 oz lemon juice
1 tsp lime marmalade
2 dashes Bitter Tears Lucille Blood Orange bitters
2 oz Sixpoint Brewery Bengali Tiger IPA
Combine ingredients in shaker over ice. Gently shake together. Pour over fresh ice in glass. Top with remaining Bengali Tiger and an extra squeeze of lemon juice.
Now you are probably wondering why I called it the Bengali Strepsil. Well, the drink had a very intense bitter and hoppy flavour at first from the beer (you can see my views on the Bengali Tiger IPA here). As the flavour progressed you picked up on the lemon juice, the citrus from the beer and the ginger from the bitters. What you were left with was a flavour and sensation reminiscent of sucking on a strepsil throat reliever, but in a good way. The Lady commented that they reminded her of these particular Danish strepsils that were ginger flavoured. In the same way that a Strepsil works, your mouth felt very cleansed afterwards with a very pleasant aftertaste and a hint of numbness. The drink also had a very pretty light orange colour to it, I assume from the beer that I used which had more of a hazy orange colour. Pleasing to look at and, eventually, pleasing to sip.
The recipe itself could use a little work. It probably wasn't quite as balanced as it should be but it didn't taste like rocket fuel and that's always a plus in my book. I didn't think the marmalade added anything, mainly because the ice kept it solid. Maybe warming it up could help. Adding in the extra beer and squeeze of lemon was a personal flavour thing as it was pretty damn intense without them. If you're a bourbon drinker you may not want to add the extra beer and lemon in. The IPA was also quite a heavy, strongly flavoured beer on its own so I'd like to come back to it and try out a few different types of beer to see how the flavour changes and a few different bitters too. I would also like to try it without adding the beer to the shaker. That way you could get the bourbon, juice and bitters more incorporated and then top it with the beer.
Overall, drinking the Bengali Strepsil was somewhat reminiscent of Dylan Moran's stand-up where he talks about drinking wine. You start of thinking 'God that's strong!' but then overtime the flavour grows on you, becoming more pleasant and familiar and easier to drink. Who knows, I may even whip one up next time I've got a sore throat to see if it does the job. It's certainly a more attractive proposition to drink an alcoholic strepsil than to suck on one.
As always remember to like, share, and follow The Cocktail Challenge on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.

Going to a day-long seminar or perhaps a week-long conference? seminar room rental You'll want to be ready to be clear of your house foundation above a period of time of time, perform appropriately within the conference atmosphere, and continue to be healthy, well-fed, and alert during your knowledge. Additionally you really have to be sure to contain the equipment you might want to access the instruction or information you will acquire.
Nicely right before you go to, you must acquire primary information and facts regarding the occasion. Do not hold out until finally the working day in advance of; you may locate you need supplies and materials that you just can not get at the past moment. Discover precisely the place the seminar or meeting is remaining held be sure you have specific, up-to-date instructions for the facility. For anyone who is coming in from outside of town, both by plane or by vehicle, consider leasing a resort or motel room with the night time prior to, as close on the facility as you possibly can, whether or not you are attending a single-day seminar. In this way you'll be able to stay clear of a nerve-racking, time-consuming commute the early morning with the party.
Collect as much information as you can in regards to the seminars, workshops, and speeches you'll be attending. Be sure you have notebooks, pens, an audio recorder (if it is authorized; some seminar presenters will not allow their lectures to generally be taped) and audiotape, and another appropriate materials.

"Three Unbelievable Days And Nights"
First Battalion In Reserve
Part II: The Replacements
On 27 February, 1945, 149 enlisted Marine replacements were received from Combat Team 24. The state of efficiency of the replacements received was very poor, this was due to their lack of training even in the basic principles of the combat infantryman.[1]
They were not ready.
They were the very young who chomped at the bit to enlist, rushing to the recruiting stations as soon as they turned seventeen. They were the ones who'd just reached the age of majority, who'd wanted to finish high school, who dutifully signed up for the draft, said they'd go if they had to, and were called up in the thousands in the summer of 1944. They were the older still, college-educated, married with families, whose jobs had granted temporary exemption from the draft. They had, on average, about six months in the service before they boarded the ships that took them to war. They had specialist training instead of combat conditioning. They did not know how to shoot a BAR, how to clean a rifle, how to throw a live grenade. They would have been out of place on the front lines of any battlefield, let alone Iwo Jima.
A handful of seasoned NCOs dotted their ranks. Gunnery Sergeant Otto Brettrager, Platoon Sergeant Wilton Fulton, and Sergeant Philip Baldwin could easily take charge of any group of privates: they'd spent their careers shaping recruits at Parris Island and San Diego. A few of the corporals were former DIs or base guards. A very few had combat experience; Corporal Jesse Betts served aboard the USS Tennessee for nearly three years, from Pearl Harbor to the Aleutians, Tarawa, and the Marshall Islands. Despite the fact that none of these NCOs had ever tried land campaigning, on the whole they were judged "very satisfactory."[2]
Despite their rudimentary training, about two thirds of the men were classed according to military specialty. Machine gunners and mortarmen were in high demand. Some had marksmanship awards from boot camp; a few were rated as experts with the M1. A handful attended cooks and bakers school. A small group of mechanics led by Sergeant Charles Dunphy and Corporal Julius Rappert were among the most highly specialized. PFC Hugh Kown could repair a tank; PFC LaVerne Johnson could arm one, and PFC Ronald Jibben could drive one. Privates Billy Hurst, Louis LeClaire, and Earl Kirk, Jr. brightened up whenever an amphibious tank clanked by; they had trained to operate one of those metal monsters, not fight as infantrymen. Why these men wound up in an infantry unit that could barely field a single jeep is a mystery; a tanker outside his vehicle was like a fish out of water. Ruefully, they recalled the boot camp adage of "every Marine a rifleman." The majority of the new men were classed as MOS 610 – anti-tank gunners. Among them was Private James Adolphus Moore of Santa Monica, California.
James Moore, at home in California.
Moore had not planned on being a Marine; he was quite happy as a design engineer for Douglas Aircraft. He was duly registered with his local draft board, but the nature of his job (and the design secrets he knew) exempted him from serving. Then, in 1944, all exemptions for 25-year-olds were cancelled. Moore, born in 1919, did not have long to wait – by June, the Navy had his draft number. At the last minute, he chose the Marine Corps, believing he was a natural fit for an aviation squadron. He could put his background to use, and might even learn something.
Moore was dismayed to find that this was not the case. "Men with technical backgrounds were not needed or even respected by the NCOs," he recalled. "As a matter of fact they looked down their noses at all of these aircraft men being pulled into the Marine Corps."[3] The closest he could get was attending anti-tank school, where he learned to service and shoot the 37mm M3 anti-tank gun. When training was over, Moore and the rest of his class—"approximately 1,000 of us"—were dumped into the 24th Replacement Draft and shipped off to Hawaii.[4] Moore officially entered the Pacific area on November 16, 1944.
A "replacement draft" was not a combat unit. It provided a relatively simple way to group men together, administratively and logistically, until they could be given permanent assignments, like a base casual company, or the "Repple Depples" of the European theater. Similar units that reached Hawaii in 1944 were broken apart in short order, their men parceled off to permanent units. Not so the 24th or 30th Replacement Drafts. "We were attached to the Fourth Marine Division rear area base on the island of Maui," said Moore. "We trained as a separate unit from the division's combat veterans." The reason was coldly logical – extra men weren't needed now, but the coming operation was anticipated to be a tough one, and it made sense to have replacements on hand for immediate use. They were spare men in every sense of the word. If the green Marines though this strange, they were reassured on the way to Iwo: "We were told that our part in the battle would be as observers, not combatants. Anti-tank men would be needed for Okinawa."[5]
Iwo Jima turned out to be even bloodier than the most pessimistic predictions. Of the fifty-six anti-tank gunners assigned to 1/24, only nineteen survived unwounded. None made it to Okinawa.
"The majority of men received… were men of specialist training that wasn't adaptable to infantry combat," recorded the regiment's After Action Report. "Basic training in weapons, self-preservation, and squad tactics was negligible. The result produced not only many casualties among the replacements but also confused the seasoned troops and took much of their valuable time in training the new men."[6] But even negligible training was preferable to the remaining third of the replacements.
521 – Basic
An enlisted person who does not possess sufficient military experience or training to warrant assignment of another SSN. May perform a variety of tasks not requiring specialized training or experience.[7]
The remaining third of the allotted replacements—about 55 men—were coded as 521: "Basic." They were competent enough (or, older Marines often thought, standards had been relaxed enough) to complete boot camp. Those who came from the 24th Replacement Draft had about six weeks to practice their skills at Camp Maui; those from the 30th Replacement Draft had no such luck. John E. Lane, who went through Iwo Jima with G/2/25, wrote:
Battle replacements were recruits who had gone through Parris Island in the summer of 1944, where they had fired for qualification once. In early September they were formed into an Infantry Training Unit at Camp Lejeune, where they went through 'musketry range' once, threw one live grenade, fired one rifle grenade and went through one live fire exercise. Designated the 30th Replacement Draft in October, they went to Camp Pendleton and straight on to Maui in Hawaii where they worked on mess duties or working parties with no additional training. The day after Christmas Day they began boarding for Iwo Jima.
Lane concluded with a simple truth. "Those who survived went back to Maui and began receiving the training that might have helped them before the operation."[8]
Melvin Solomon Adalman was a 521. Adalman was a proud American—born, literally, on the Fourth of July—and also proud of his Jewish heritage. During high school, he performed with Baltimore's "first, last, and only all-Jewish drum and bugle corps, the Maccabean Squadron of the Sons of the American Legion," and spent his summers in Cape May with his grandfather, Rabbi Daniel Sussman.[9] He dutifully volunteered in 1943, but was not immediately summoned to active duty. Adalman returned to his pharmacology coursework at the University of Maryland; he was a popular figure on campus, described as "a straight shooter who says what he means despite the consequences."[10]
Adalman finished his junior year before he was called up. He chose an apt quote for his college annual: "There is no use in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat."[11] At any other point in the war, he might have had several options for his service – use his musical talents as a bugler or bandsman, practice pharmacology with the Navy's hospital corps, even apply for Officer Candidate's School – but not in the summer of 1944. The Marines needed warm bodies for the next invasion. Eight months after leaving school, Private Adalman was on Iwo Jima.
Most of the 521s were older draftees, but there were a handful of young volunteers among them. Private Rondall McDowell Baird was one — he joined the Corps just days before his eighteenth birthday. Baird was a charming and handsome young man from Morganton, North Carolina, who left his first semester at UNC Chapel Hill and his new wife, Irene Buff Baird, to do his part overseas. There was a baby Baird on the way when he left; when little Terry was born, Rondall was already on his way to Iwo Jima. Irene mailed him a tiny knit baby shoe as a good luck charm.[12]
Few men formed lasting friendships in the replacement drafts. They were well aware that their unit existed only to be broken up as needed; they did not know where they would be sent, or when, or with whom. The men who would eventually join 1/24 belonged to Company E, 24th Replacement Draft and Company E, 30th Replacement Draft—but there was none of the unit cohesion that held together a combat company, because these companies would not be going into combat as a single entity. A few found casual buddies – Privates Robert Owensby and James Parker met because of the alphabetical proximity of their last names, and palled around on the same Iwo-bound transport, but wound up together in Charlie Company, 24th Marines by chance rather than design.
The first few days on Iwo helped bring some of them together, and drove home the sobering reality of their situation. Private James Moore recalled how "the Twenty-fourth Replacement Draft was broken into small work parties to unload APAs and LSTs. When that was completed, we returned to the [USS] Newberry to await further orders."[13] The men of the draft knew that American casualties were high, but still were told that they would not be going in to do any fighting. Thus, when medical officers appealed to the Marines to donate blood for the wounded, many jumped at the chance to help. "A lot of the men, thinking they wouldn't be going back in, donated blood," said Moore. "However, orders changed and we did go in. Some of these men who gave blood were shot and died from trauma."[14]
Private Lloyd Ervin Abbott was another anti-tank gunner, drafted off the family farm in Scott, Ohio the previous May. Aboard ship, Abbott was told he would join the 23rd Marines if necessary; when he went ashore on Beach Yellow 1 on February 22, he certainly hoped this would not be the case. "I no doubt owe my life to the fact I did not go ashore until late 2nd or third day," he wrote on a treasured souvenir, a map of Iwo Jima. The work parties were gruelling: the beaches were badly congested with heaps of supplies coming in, rows of casualties going out, and under fire the entire time. Abbott was hauling crates on D+4 when the flag went up on Suribachi; he missed the event itself, but remembered the cheering and celebrating.[15]
James Moore was sent in on D+5. "I was assigned at first to sort out loose equipment that had been dropped on the beach. One of the first things that I put my hands on was a gas mask holder that belonged to Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone. Now, John Basilone was a Congressional Medal of Honor winner at Guadalcanal and was credited with killing 200 of the enemy with a machine gun during a banzai attack. He got on the island at Iwo Jima and was killed right there on the beach. This didn't give me much enthusiasm for what lay ahead."[16]
Private Robert Owensby had an even more disconcerting introduction to Iwo Jima. "I don't remember the exact day I went ashore to enter the fighting, but I remember as the ramp to the LCVM was lowered several rounds of rife fire whistled past," he said. "Fortunately, none of us were hit." As his group made its way to an assembly and distribution area, "we were led past what must have been about 200 dead Marines. The graves detail was going through, looking at dog tags, and writing down information prior to their burial. I certainly didn't think it was a good way to be initiated into combat."[17]
One of the bodies Owensby passed might once have been "Smokie" Borges. Or "Black Mike" Cusimano. Or Robert St. Pierre. Or Sam McNeal, Weldon Wells, Manville Dickman, George Strong, William Ramsey, or Charlie Strickland. All were laid out under ponchos, their fingerprints and dogtags recorded, their bodies, if mangled, arranged into something of a human shape, and all still awaiting burial. Occasionally, a Graves Registration or sanitary detail would come by and douse their bodies with disinfectant to keep the flies away. And Robert Owensby, on his way to Charlie Company, fervently hoped he would not meet the same fate.

This conflicts with the battalion muster roll, which claims the replacements arrived in two large groups on February 24 and February 28. Considering that the battalion was still in combat on February 24 and 25 – and there are no casualties among the replacements listed during the month – the author believes that the battalion report is correct, and that most (if not all) of these men actually joined during the three day reserve period.

The Los Angeles Police Department's civilian watchdog said Monday he would launch a broad inquiry into the accuracy of the agency's crime statistics after a Times investigation revealed that the LAPD understated violent crime in the city.
Inspector General Alex Bustamante said he planned to expand on The Times' review, which focused on a recent one-year period, and that he would conduct an examination of multiple years of data to determine whether declines in crime in Los Angeles were as dramatic as reported by the department.
The Times reported Sunday that the LAPD had misclassified nearly 1,200 violent crimes as minor offenses during the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2013. Nearly all were aggravated assaults. Had the crimes been recorded correctly, the official figure for aggravated assaults would have been almost 14% higher than the LAPD reported. The tally for violent crime overall would have been nearly 7% higher.
The misclassified crimes included hundreds of stabbings, beatings and robberies. In one case, two men choked and beat a neighbor with a metal bar until he lost consciousness. In another, a man stabbed his wife in the face with a screwdriver and threw her down a flight of stairs. Both cases were recorded as minor assaults.
In recent years, the LAPD has followed a data-driven approach to policing, relying on computerized mapping of crime to identify trouble spots and deploy officers where they could have the greatest effect.
Some city officials expressed concern Monday that inaccurate statistics undermine that system and leave officers and the public with an incomplete picture of crime.
"It is critically important that we receive accurate data from our Police Department," said Councilman Mitchell Englander, who chairs the council's Public Safety Committee.
City Controller Ron Galperin said he was "deeply concerned about the questions The Times has raised…. Good decision-making requires quality, accurate data. We must make sure that LAPD commanders have precise facts at their disposal so they can allocate resources to keep our communities safe."
The civilian Police Commission, which oversees the LAPD, is scheduled to vote Tuesday whether to reappoint Chief Charlie Beck to a second five-year term. Although Beck generally has earned praise for his performance, some commissioners have sharply criticized the chief in recent months for inconsistency in meting out discipline and for what they called a lack of transparency.
Mayor Eric Garcetti has staunchly defended Beck. And since the mayor appoints all five members of the Police Commission, the panel is expected to reappoint Beck as chief.
After The Times story, the mayor requested that Beck improve training on crime reporting and conduct an additional audit of serious assaults this year, Garcetti's spokesman, Yusef Robb, said in a statement.
"We will make sure LAPD is appropriately verifying its data and that when problems are found, changes are made to fix them without delay," Robb said.
Garcetti has repeatedly promised to emulate the LAPD's data-driven approach to improve the efficiency of other city agencies. During his first year in office, the mayor had other city department heads attend a demonstration of LAPD's crime-tracking system.
In interviews, more than two dozen current and retired LAPD officers told The Times that crimes are sometimes misclassified deliberately because of a relentless pressure to produce ever-lower crime statistics.
Commissioner Robert Saltzman said he worried that the problems with crime reporting were a further indication that a permissive culture has taken root in the LAPD, one in which "inappropriate behavior is acceptable as long as it is not discovered or reported."
"In my view, the LAPD is better than this," Saltzman said. "The department is filled with men and women who work hard every day to protect and serve the city. The chief and his command officers need to make sure that the everyday hard work of the officers stops being overshadowed by controversies such as this one."
Councilman Bernard C. Parks, who served as police chief from 1997 to 2002, said he had harbored doubts about the accuracy of LAPD statistics for a decade, saying officers who think their careers could be derailed by rising crime might be tempted to manipulate statistics.
"People will give you what you ask for," he said. "They will find a way to make crime go away."
Department officials have said that they do not encourage deliberate misreporting of crimes. In a statement released Monday, Beck acknowledged the classification errors identified by The Times and said the department had taken steps to improve how it records crime.
"I want to thank the L.A. Times for its analysis of our processes, which identified a similar error rate for aggravated assaults as our previously released audits," Beck said in a prepared statement. "This most recent review has enabled us to identify and implement additional methods to reduce the error rate" in classifying assaults.
The misclassifications should not cast doubt on the significant declines in crime over the last decade, he said. Record-low homicide totals and other indicators show the city is less violent today than in the past.
Bustamante will have unrestricted access to the department's crime databases. He said his investigation would include "obtaining all documents, identifying and investigating all involved parties and critiquing measures used by the department. To the extent our investigation uncovers issues, they will be reported immediately to the Police Commission."
The LAPD has reported declines in crime for 11 consecutive years. In conducting its analysis, The Times requested crime data for that entire period. The LAPD rejected the request, instead providing information for a single year only.
Commission President Steve Soboroff said he wanted department officials to address whether the way a crime is classified affects how it is investigated and prosecuted. LAPD officials indicated in a 2010 internal report that classification errors can mean that crimes are not investigated with the proper urgency.
"I need to know there is no nexus between the two," Soboroff said. "The public needs to know that."

What is an "incremental" backup?
What is an "incremental" backup and can it be implemented on an iSeries platform?
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
There are a couple kinds of "incremental" backups available on the iSeries. Lots of people refer to both kinds as just incremental, but there is a difference...
You can execute a save command on the iSeries specifying that any object changed "since the last full save" will be saved. This type of incremental save is also referred to as a cumulative save, since each incremental BU after a full backup contains an accumulation of everything changed since the last full backup. This backup replaces any prior incremental backups. Recovery may be easier since all you need to process is the last full backup and the latest cumulative incremental.
Another type of incremental backup saves the changes to any object since the last time you performed any kind of save. This type of backup may run faster because fewer things need to be saved each time, but the recovery requires that you process the full save and ALL incremental backups.
Which one is right in your environment? Only you can make that determination.

The Maryland SPCA and Kids-4-K9s, Incorporated are once again teaming up to deliver a multi-tiered service-learning opportunity for Baltimore teens. The program is designed specifically for students ages 14-17, with an interest in learning about animal welfare and playing an active role in preventing animal abuse, cruelty and neglect.
The Teen Internship Program is an important part of the Maryland SPCA mission of improving the lives of pets and people in the community. While earning service credit, students work in partnership with program staff and other volunteers to provide positive activities for the dogs at the shelter while teaching the dogs to offer more human-appealing behaviors - a vital part of helping them get adopted and be successful in their new home. At the same time, students learn firsthand the important role training also plays in providing enrichment for the dogs and how it can help to reduce the stress associated with living in the shelter environment.
Students will spend about half of their time in fun interactive lessons learning about how to use positive reinforcement to teach and change behavior. Students will spend the remaining time working directly with shelter dogs, assisted by program leaders and experienced volunteers and time at the end of each session reflecting on the day's events and/or working on group projects such as creating educational materials or enrichment items for the animals. The program will be offered during three separate sessions:
SESSION 1: June 24 - June 28, 2019 — Session has reached capacity.
SESSION 2: July 15 - July 19, 2019 — Session has reached capacity.
SESSION 3: July 22 - July 26, 2019 — Session has reached capacity.
Each session runs Monday through Friday (5 days); 10:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Students receive 20 hours service credit for each session.
The Teen Summer Internship Program has very limited space, as such we can only accept 45 participants into the summer program (15 participants into each of the three summer sessions). Those accepted into the program are expected to complete the program session in its entirety.
For more information, contact our partner, Kids-4-K9s, Incorporated: CALL 1-888-292-5547 OR 443-909-8817; EMAIL [email protected] OR [email protected].
