Date of Award
Fall 1980
Document Type
Dissertation - Restricted
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
My interest in Peter Abelard is of long standing, although academically, the more immediate impetus for this dissertation can be traced to a reading of Abelard's Ethics and The School of Peter Abelard as an assignment for a course in Twelfth Century Theology given by Dr. Keith Egan. The transformation of this interest into a full fledged study of Peter Abelard as expositor of Scripture has not been achieved, however, without assistance from a variety of sources. This 'Preface' is designed to acknowledge my debt to the community of scholars that have supported me in this effort...

Michal Kafri-Yardeni, the chairperson of the Athena national council for promoting women's sport in Israel, insisted that I didn't cut her saying "sport in Israel is tremendously chauvinistic." So I didn't.
Host Laragh Widdess met Michal and her team at "Holchot Rachok," Athena's annual event in Tel Aviv – the largest women's sports event in Israel with over 10,000 participants. It's supported by the Ministry of Culture and Sport, so Laragh also spoke with the director of the Israeli Sport Authority. They discussed what obstacles girls in Israel face getting into and staying into sports.
Meet the girls and women, young and old, who came from all corners of the country to participate; a Bedouin women's walking club, a mothers' "catchball" team, a teen Taekwando group, and Israel's national under-16 basketball players.

Yes, Netflix actually added a "short-ass" movie category in response to Pete Davidson's Saturday Night Live ode to movies shorter than an hour and 30 minutes. Netflix quote-tweeted the SNL rap on Twitter, casually saying "good idea" and linking to the new short-ass movie category on Netflix.
On the page, you'll find a list of movies — organized by genre — that won't have you stuck on the couch for hours, like Zoolander, Death at a Funeral, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Midnight in Paris, and a whole lot more. It, disappointingly, lacks some of the titles mentioned in the SNL skit, like Driving Miss Daisy and The Lion King (but maybe Netflix will bend to Davidson's will on that as well).
Despite the existence of this short-ass movie webpage, I, and a number of my colleagues at The Verge, just can't seem to find it on the app. However, Netflix spokesperson Kumiko Hidaka says it's "been available since 10 am PT on Mon 4/4," and that you should be able to find it on all devices if you search for it.
If you love short-ass movies, I guess you have Davidson to thank for this one — whether you're sick of him or not. Sure, Netflix already has a 90-minute movie category, which is basically a carbon copy of the short-ass movie one. But I think this makes things a little clearer; a 90-minute movie just sounds longer than a short-ass movie.
Update April 5th, 10:05PM ET: Updated to add that the short-ass movies categories is available on all devices.

The provincial government's decision to allow some construction activities to resume was good news for the Haliburton County Home Builders' Association which issued a press release on Friday May 1 praising the decision.
"Building new homes and communities is a long complicated process and requires different construction activities over a number of seasons" Keith Thomas president of the local home builders' association said. "Losing the entire construction season for site servicing would be setting our local housing supply back and risk the homes that our clients are looking to move into next year. Under the new provincial guidelines we will continue to deliver homes safely today and in the future."
As of May 4 the province is permitting work to resume in several areas including site preparation excavation and servicing for institutional commercial industrial and residential development.
Those activities had previously ceased as a precaution to limit the potential spread of COVID-19.
The home builders' association said earthworks and site grading allow for physical distancing as each operator is in their own machine and noted that site grading is essential to every construction site.
"In addition the decision allows for site and land-servicing projects to commence or continue new residential industrial commercial and institutional developments. Underground servicing the installation of stormwater controls water pipes sanitary sewer pipes road construction including curbs and sidewalk landscape works trails parks and utilities (telecommunications water gas electricity etc.) are necessary for the activation of new homes and eventual occupancy" the press release states.
"We are allowing certain businesses to reopen under strict guidelines because we are confident they can operate safely and adapt to the current environment" Premier Doug Ford said in an announcement Friday. "While further reductions in the spread are needed before we can begin reopening the province we have the right framework and the right workplace guidelines in place to do so gradually and safely."
Sixty guidelines have been established to help employers reopen workplaces safely to protect workers customers and the public according to the government.
The home builders said the industry supports shuttering any site not respecting the Ministry of Labour's guidelines for construction site health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We all want safe job sites" said Joe Vaccaro Ontario Home Builders Association CEO. "Adding these new construction activities along with new provincial COVID-19 health and safety guidelines means members will continue to focus on worker safety while delivering keys to the thousands of families waiting for their homes to be completed. We can keep each other safe while delivering housing supply across Ontario."
Other work permitted to resume as of May 4:

SEPTA bus and 2 cars collide in Port Richmond; 7 injured, one critically
PORT RICHMOND (WTXF) - A SEPTA bus and two vehicles crashed Sunday, critically injuring one and injuring seven other people in Port Richmond.
Officials say a SEPTA bus was driving south on East Somerset Street Sunday about 9:15 in the morning. The bus stopped to let passengers off.
At that time, a car was traveling north on Aramingo Avenue at a high rate of speed, according to officials. A car traveling south on East Somerset behind the bus attempted to go around the bus and into the intersection.
The two cars collided, causing the first car to hit a parked vehicle. The second car hit the bus, investigators said.
The driver of the first car, a 19-year-old man, was transported to Hahnemann Hospital with head injuries and listed in serious condition.
The driver of the second car, a 66-year-old woman and a passenger in that car, as well as five other people, were transported to various area hospitals.
The accident is under investigation, according to officials.

Professor Kathy Hall, School of Education
Kathy Hall, Professor of Education
College: Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences
School: Education
Research Interests: Learning and teaching across the lifespan, curriculum and assessment, inclusion and equality in learning and education, and contemporary Irish childhoods
IRIS profile: http://publish.ucc.ie/researchprofiles/A013/khall
What first attracted you to your academic discipline?
Probably trying to fathom some of the complexities of education especially around the way schooling functions to shape lives, learning and careers.
How were you drawn to your current research interests?
Education is an inter-disciplinary field of study and this ultimately brought me to a cultural study of education and learning where politics, history, discourse, psychology, sociology etc. are all relevant. Learning is ubiquitous and the process is the same whether in homes, school, workplaces, clubs, universities but what is available to be learned within settings is another matter altogether and it is this phenomenon that I have found intriguing over the years. I was first drawn to my current interests through my PhD study back in the 1980s on how children develop language and literacy which was under the guidance of a wonderful mentor Dr Dan Murphy (TCD) who sadly is no longer with us.
What professional achievements do you consider particularly rewarding?
Varies at different points in my history. I have always found supervising PhD studnets especially rewarding - seeing them grow intellectually and use their work to make a difference in their professional contexts including progressing their careers. In education, PhD students come from a variety of educational backgrounds and are usually in mid-career and already in senior roles in their organisations. They are really colleagues and they enhance my own work in many ways.
In the competitive climate that is the academy, it would be dishonest of me not to acknowledge the seductive nature of winning a research grant or getting published in a valued journal or finally submitting the manuscript for a book or submitting that Final Report. I have found those achievements rewarding for myself and my co-workers.
Always rewarding is the privilege of being able to shape debate, inform policy and influence practice through involvement on national bodies like the Teaching Council and my co-chairing of the Standing Conference on Teacher Education North and South, a body set up under the Good Friday Agreement.
Finally working collaboratively with colleagues to develop and redevelop our own provision is rewarding and exciting.
Have you had professional role models? What impact did they have on you?
I worked in several universities before coming to UCC and in all places I encountered both inspirational and not so wonderful models. All of them had an impact on me and I learned much from them. The inspirational role models here and elsewhere had much in common: fairness and a sense of justice, and adaptive intelligence, commitment to students, and dedication. There are plenty such people in my own School in UCC, adminisrtative and academic, who I work with and learn from every day. Their impact adds up to making work a life-enhancing and utterly worthwhile experience. I'm conscious too of the legacy of those before me like Elizabeth O'Sullivan, who in 1910 UCC inaugurated as Professor of Education - the first female Professor of Education in the then jurisdiction of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
What aspects of your work do you find most rewarding?
Collaborating with colleagues who are prepared to be open-minded and dedicated; reading the research of others who are pushing boundaries and challenging thinking; and seeing students successfully complete their studies despite struggles and setbacks.
Any details you wish to share about how being female has impacted upon your career (positively or negatively)?
Being female has not impacted upon my career either positively or negatively.
Academic careers present specific challenges in achieving balance, whether between research, teaching and administration, or in work/life balance. What advice might you give a student/younger colleague/your 18-year old self?
I think the key is not to be tempted to put off one of these (research) until one 'has time' ('in the summer'). A little every day. As to work life balance, I'm not convinced about this insofar as work and life are not completely separate things. It is a truism that work expands to fill the time available but I have been fortunate and privileged to love most (if not all!) the tasks of my academic career. I appreciate how incredibly supportive my husband is and how supportive colleagues make such a difference. To my 18-year old self, I would say there is no blueprint and be suspicious of grand planning, better to enjoy and seek fulfillment by working with supportive colleagues and don't be afraid to change 'course' and move on if there are insurmountable constraints.

Raymond Daniels did not have the outcome he wanted at Bellator 245. But rest assured, Peter Stanonik's night was worse. Far, far worse.
Stanonik was sent to hospital after a pair of low blows, powered by spinning back kicks, landed flush on his groin. Luckily, he's okay. Still, the image of Stanonik pounding the canvas with his fists, crying in pain, will be a hard one for MMA fans to forget.
Once again, Raymond Daniels had gone viral — this time, for all the wrong reasons. Consider those kicks the low blows heard 'round the world.
The Bellator kickboxing champion, who had been appearing in just his fourth MMA bout, spoke to the media after the fight, which was ruled a no contest due to the accidental fouls.
"I hope my opponent, Peter, is okay. Obviously I never meant to hit anybody, as far as any type of low blows," Daniels said, acknowledging that the outcome was "definitely not how I wanted the fight to go. In my head, I had an entirely different ending in mind."
Asked whether he thought the first of the two fouls was, in fact, a low blow, Daniels responded by saying that "the first time I thought it was a body shot, but my foot's kind of big." After that, however, there was no question in his mind. "The second time, I definitely hit him in the groin pretty clean. He kicked me, kind of knocked me off-balance which made me miss my target a little bit. It's unfortunate, as things in 2020 have been, it's that kind of year. I normally don't miss my spin kicks like that."
Daniels referred to his spinning kicks as his grenade launcher, given they're the hardest strike a fighter can throw. Which makes the strikes that landed all the more wince-inducing. "I hope he's okay. I never really want to hurt my opponents in a way where they have to be carried off or anything like that," Daniels reiterated.
For those surprised that Daniels attempted the same kick twice, he noted that "it's instinctual sometimes. It's a very open technique."
"I fight in what's called a flow state. Even though I think of these things while I'm training, when I'm in there fighting, things will just flow out naturally, without me even having to think about that technique," he explained. "So that happened instantly, as a response because of the technique that he threw — which, that is the correct counter, it just landed in the wrong spot. I try to to keep it out of my mind not to throw things, because that creates handicaps for myself."

After the end of the ODI series now t20 series will begin from today at Pallekele. Now Sri Lanka has Tillakaratne Dilshan which is a huge hop for them because he got talent, experience, and many good background performances. But the other side Australia is much stronger then SL because, they got a lot of big star batsmen of t20 cricket like David Warner, Usman Khawaja, George Bailey, Glenn Maxwell. Two t20 matches will be played between Aus v SL.
Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bowl first
Watch Online Australia tour of Sri Lanka 1st T20I Full HD Highlights Today Between SL v Aus at Pallekele, Tuesday, September 6th, 2016.
Match Timings: 19:00 local time (13:30 GMT)
Sri Lanka team
Kusal Perera, Dilshan, Kusal Mendis, Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kapugedara, Pathirana, Thisara, Senanayake, Lakmal, Rajitha.
Australia team
Warner, Khawaja, Head, Bailey, Maxwell, Henriques, Nevill, Faulkner, Starc, Zampa, Boland.
The Pallekele surface aids both quicks and spinners under lights, so the match is unlikely to be a high scorer. There is a small chance light showers could interrupt play. The game is already sold out. The visitors' XI is no less difficult to predict, as they have not played T20s since March.
In the current form, Mitchell Starc, James Faulkner, John Hastings, and Zampa should make up the bulk of the attack. There are so many injuries and so many permutations with the Sri Lanka squad that pinning down an XI is difficult. Kusal Perera is likely to return to the top of the order. In the past, Sri Lanka has liked to stack their team with allrounders.
T20I no. 565 Highlights
Played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium
06 September 2016 – night match (20-over match)

To my amour, Québec City:
I'd heard about you before I ever laid eyes on you, and though my friends were adamant that I would fall head over heels, something kept me away. Maybe I was afraid because I already knew you would steal my heart.
But, eventually, I had to let down my guard and meet you, Québec City. People told me the timing wasn't right – it was February, after all, and you were being so cold. But I knew that this would actually be the perfect time because I could see the real you. And the first night I laid eyes on you, you stopped me in my tracks. The pure beauty of your alabaster snow perfectly framed your magnificent architecture. And I can't deny I'm a sucker for a French accent.
That first night was unlike anything I had ever experienced before, and I was instantly smitten. We only had a few days together before I had to go home, but, oh, did we make the most of them!
You were celebrating the season at your Winter Carnival, and your excitement was contagious! You introduced me to Caribou, the perfect drink to keep warm, and to your dear friend Bonhomme. You took me sledding, and even dog-sledding, too.
Beyond the Carnival, you had so much to show me, Québec City. You taught me the history of your walls, the fortifications that celebrate Old Quebec from the new, and you shared the grandeur of your most popular feature, Chateau Le Frontenac, which took my breath away.
But it was your little quirks that truly won me over. The tiny cobblestone streets, the quaint shops, restaurants, and bars that you keep tucked away, the people who you call friends – and who ended up becoming my friends, too.
And, of course, the Ice Hotel, or Hôtel de Glace, your grandest achievement. Every year, you create this stunning spectacle from the ice and snow, just to share the majesty of winter with the world and make people happy in the cold. You provide something for everyone in this place, with an ice bar for people looking for a good time and even a wedding chapel for people seeking something more serious.
Every year, the Hôtel de Glace melts away as the weather warms, but my love for you lasts far longer than the ephemeral ice hotel, Québec City. Though I haven't seen you in person in many years, I see you in my dreams every day.
Je t'aime,

Nike revenue surged 10% on a reported basis and 13% on a currency-neutral basis to $10.3 billion in its second quarter of 2020, thanks to strong growth across all regions. Analysts had anticipated earnings of 58 cents per share on $10.09 billion in revenue. "Our strong growth continues to be fueled by an increasingly more direct connection to consumers in the marketplace," explained CFO Andy Campion during the retailer's recent earnings call. Nike Direct grew 17% on a currency-neutral basis in the quarter, led by Nike Digital, which spiked 38% driven primarily by the Nike app and SNKRS app, which are both live in more than 20 countries. For the quarter SNKRS app grew strong double digits, the Nike app more than doubled, and active users for the apps are growing almost triple digits. CEO Mark Parker, who earlier this year announced in October he will step down in the coming year, noted that there are many components to the investments Nike has been making to fuel its digital transformation, including consumer retail experiences that merge online and off-line, new operational capabilities, and powerful partnerships — all enabled by the digital talent it has added through recent acquisitions and investments in its teams. "The common thread to these work streams is that they put the consumer at the center," said Parker. "They are all designed to reduce friction and create a more direct connection with our customers and ultimately invite them to become members. Membership is the sharp point of our growth." The Nike app at retail, for example, allows members inside physical stores to unlock tailored offers based on their past engagement with NIKE and shop at their pace on the retail floor, scanning products for information and checking out on their own, Parker said. Members can also reserve product online and have it waiting for them at their nearest store. If they can't a find product they want, new investments in RFID will enable the consumer to instantly track another one down somewhere else in the store, online or potentially in another retail partner's channel. "Nike's not only deeply committed to using our digital advantage to make the consumer experience better, we're also using data science to inform how much product we supply and where," said Parker. "Through our acquisition of Celect, we're applying and developing new unique algorithms to make us better attuned to what the consumer is telling us. We're leveraging data that includes past and present consumer interest in products and purchasing signals to better predict demand, so we can decide how to stage inventory in our distribution centers and our stores in different ways." The acquisition accelerates Nike's ability to better predict the right supply of products down to the style, color and size, Campion explained further. It also brings other tools that improve pricing and mark down efficiency. Campion noted Nike's digital transformation is beginning to impact its results. "Our constant currency revenue growth and margin expansion excluding foreign exchange headwinds over the past two years has exceeded the financial model we communicated at our Investor Day," he said. "And we believe that building on our digital advantage is certain to further extend NIKE's lead and amplify our long-term growth potential.

Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Reviews
The Yule Tomte and the Little Rabbits: A Christmas Story for Advent
Illustrator: Eva Eriksson
Picture Book
For ages 5 to 7
Floris Books, 2014 ISBN: 978-1782501367
It is the first of December and on this day, like every day, Grump the tomte leaves his home in the dog kennel and slips into the empty house, which has been unoccupied for fifty years. Grump makes sure everything is "as it should be" and winds the big wall clock. Then he reluctantly rescues a bumblebee that is tangled up in a spider's bed. Grumbling all the while (house tomtes are always grumpy) Grump takes the bumblebee home with him.
The tomte likes things to be quiet and ordered and so the bee's snoring makes him grumpier than ever. On the third day of December a gale arrives and so Grump cannot get "a moment's peace." When the wind carries off his mittens (which were drying on the washing line), his tomte hat, and a sign that reads TOMTE CO (formerly TOMTE COTTAGE) that was attached to the gate, Grump really loses his temper. He decides that he will not see or talk to anyone, and he will not celebrate Christmas.
Some distance away a rabbit family is gathered in a burrow under a big oak tree. Two of the rabbit children go outside to "wait for snow." They chase leaves and then they find the tomte's hat, his mittens, and the sign, which they take back to the burrow. The rabbits have no idea what the hat and mittens are and they cannot read the sign. In the end a pair of jackdaws read the sign for them and they tell the rabbits that a tomte "comes at Christmas." The birds don't know what Christmas is but they think that it "sounds exciting."
A squirrel tells the rabbits that Christmas is a time when "you hang pretty things on a tree. And you eat and dance. And sing. And give presents." Christmas begins when the Yule Tomte arrives. The rabbits decide that the words on the sign that they found must mean TOMTE COMING.
Soon all the animals in the forest know that the tomte is coming and they begin to prepare for his arrival. The problem is that they cannot be sure when he will turn up. The other problem is that the tomte has no idea that he is expected, and would he even come if he knew?
This wonderful picture book is arranged in the form of twenty-five short chapters, one chapter for each day of advent. With lovely artwork and a heartwarming story, this beautifully presented picture book would make a wonderful gift for the holiday season.

The Washington State Patrol is seeking information regarding a drive-by shooting on I-5 in Kent on Friday morning, Mar. 18, 2022.
Troopers say that at approximately 6:45 a.m. Friday morning, their communications department received a 9-1-1 call from an individual advising that their back window was shot out on northbound I-5 near 272nd Street (map below).
Troopers responded and contacted the victim driving northbound on I-5, south of SR 516 on the left side. The victim stated that a white Dodge Charger came up behind them traveling at a high rate of speed and they couldn't get over right away to allow it to pass. Once they changed lanes the victim believed that someone in the Dodge fired a round through the back window, causing it to shatter.
Upon speaking with one of the witnesses who also called 9-1-1, detectives were able to learn there was another vehicle involved and that was the vehicle that fired a weapon. The witness indicated that they observed the white Dodge pass them on the left and another gray vehicle – possibley with a spoiler on the trunk – pass them on the right at a high rate of speed. According to the witness it appeared that the gray vehicle was chasing the white Dodge. The witness then observed a handgun come out of the window and fire a couple shots in the direction of the white Dodge.
The victim was driving a red Mazda CX5 and from what the investigation shows at this point is that this victim was not the intended target.
Thankfully there were no injuries.
Year to date, Washington State Patrol detectives in King County alone have investigated 16 shootings on the roadways that are patrolled by troopers. This is 41 more than the 12 they investigated in the same time span in 2021.

This is a dark road that we are talking about. At the same time, our own President of the United States is rumored to have similar power "for national security reasons".
A new piece of internet legislation in Russia could make it possible for the government to cut off access to international web sites and services. Although the Kremlin claims that it's for defensive purposes only, detractors are concerned it could lead to new levels of censorship in the country.

DVD 406.
Merce Cunningham collection. Volume 1. 2003. 1 videodisc (81 min.). Camera space presents a challenge. It has clear limits, but it also gives opportunities of working with dance that are not available on the stage. The camera takes a fixed view, but it can be moved. There is the possibility of cutting to a second camera which can change the size of the dancer, which, to my eye, also affects the time, the rhythm of the movement. It also can show dance in a way no possible on the stage: that is, the use of detail which in the broader context of theatre does not appear. Working with video and film also gives me the opportunity to rethink certain technical elements. For example, the speed with which one catches an image on the television made me introduce into our class work different elements of movement concerned with tempos which added a new dimension to our general class work behaviour.

Tiffin's New Horizons
The future continues to grow brighter for Tiffin Motorhomes, especially after recently being acquired by THOR Industries, with plans for growth and expanding into new RV classes.
Looking back, perhaps it comes as no surprise that Bob Tiffin was destined to become the head of a successful, vertically integrated RV manufacturing company that bears his name.
Still, in the early 1970s, Tiffin had another job, helping run the family-owned home supply business. It was in that role, serving as a supplier to an established RV manufacturer located in Red Bay, Ala., that Tiffin recalls becoming fascinated with the RV business.
"When it got time to collect our bills every month for Tiffin Supply Co., I would look around and became interested in what they were doing and building," Tiffin says of the company, which built towables and manufactured homes.
One thing led to another, and when the manufacturer closed its doors, Tiffin saw an opportunity, founding Tiffin Motorhomes in September 1972. The business started modestly, building five Class A motorhomes in that first year.
Just a year later, the business was building an average of one motorhome a day.
"We began by building motorhomes because everyone and their brother was manufacturing towables – I wanted something unique," Tiffin says. "And we've been successful through hard work. We come early in the morning and stay late in the evening – we're all very hands-on. There aren't many companies where the whole family works for the business.
"In some places, it can be hard to find an owner," Tiffin chuckles in his soft Southern accent. "If an RV customer has questions and wants to talk with one of us, then we talk with them. We're very concerned about the well-being of our customers."
It's hard to argue with the results of Tiffin's philosophy on work and customer service. Today, Tiffin is widely recognized as a premium manufacturer of luxury motorhomes and fifth wheels that are renowned for their product quality, customer service and brand loyalty. That's partly reflected in the fact that its three product lines all made the Top 5 in their respective categories for RV sales in 2020, according to market data firm Statistical Surveys (see Figures 1A, 1B and 1C at left).
As a privately held company for most of its existence, Tiffin Motorhomes' financial results were previously undisclosed. However, following the company's acquisition by THOR Industries for $300 million in late December, it was revealed that Tiffin generated $800 million in revenues in 2020. About 90 percent of those revenues came from the sale of motorhomes, while the remaining 10 percent came from sales of towables.
Under the new ownership of THOR, Tiffin Motorhomes operates as a standalone division and continues to be run by the Tiffin family.
Always Innovating, Always Improving
Tiffin Motorhomes' success is driven by hard work, but also by innovation, according to Bob Tiffin.
"We're always looking for new things to put into our motorhomes to make them more convenient, desirable and – just as important – last longer," he says. "We don't want to saddle our customers with problems and bog them down. From air conditioners and refrigerators to furnaces and water pumps, they can all have their own issues, and when you put them all into one big box, there's a real challenge to make it all work – but we do."
Given Tiffin Motorhomes' modest beginning almost five decades ago, Bob Tiffin says he had no idea at the time how big the company would become, although he says he did have a sense of what he needed to do to grow the business.
"I did know and understand manufacturing volume – and quickly learned what it took to scale up," he says.
Over the years, the RV manufacturing operation has branched out from Class A motorhomes, to include luxury fifth wheels through its Vanleigh division in 2015, and Wayfarer Class C diesel motorhomes in 2016.
"There was a lot of opportunity in Class C's because that market has been rapidly expanding over the years. The newer, younger buyers want something smaller to start with and to be able to maneuver around in," says Van Tiffin, one of Bob Tiffin's three sons.
Van's brother, Tim, who is the eldest son (Lex is the youngest son), was responsible for getting into that segment and runs the operation, which is based in Winfield, Ala.
"They're starting to get into Class B's – which is an enormous market right now – with a lot of opportunity," Van Tiffin adds. "My son, Leigh, in 2015, said he really wanted to be part of the manufacturing operations, and it was mainly his idea to enter the fifth wheel market. So, that's when we started Vanleigh RV with 'full-pro' and 'mid-pro' fifth wheels. We've continued to improve that product and we've done very, very well with it."
Vanleigh's operations are based in Belmont and Burnsville, Miss.
Van Tiffin says that, while there are no plans to enter the towable "bumper pull" market, the company remains firmly focused on the fifth wheel market and may yet opt to get into the toy hauler segment.
That "hands-on" approach, Bob Tiffin points out, also is reflected in the company's service department, which features nearly 180 employees, 50 service bays, Express Lanes with a three-hour turnaround, and a three- to four-day average turnaround for all other repairs and service.
"We have an average of 100 units a week in our service department – 100 customers come, 100 customers go – it's a huge deal and we've been doing that for years on end," Bob Tiffin says.
The Express Service has two dedicated technicians.
"We've found out through the years that a customer who comes by three or four times in the first couple years of RV ownership, then they avoid many issues down the road," he says.
Tiffin is capable of working on 56 motorhomes at a time, all of which is made possible by the collaboration of its service technicians, parts department and support staff.
"They'll answer and make about 2,000 calls in a week's time to keep up with our customers' needs, whether they are dealers or consumers – we don't differentiate between the two," he says. "Most everyone will take a call because, after all, if you don't have customers, then you can't build anything."
Joining Forces with THOR
So, what led Tiffin Motorhomes to embark on this latest development in its company history?
Van Tiffin says he and his brother Lex approached their father one day and said they thought selling the company could be a good idea.
"So, I said, 'Well, do we have a buyer?'" Bob Tiffin recalls. It was THOR, and it turns out being acquired by THOR was one of the best decisions his company has ever made, he says, adding that it has been business as usual since the sale.
For his part, THOR President and CEO Bob Martin says he was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the Tiffins in July 2020 to gauge THOR's interest in pursuing an acquisition. He says he had previously heard through mutual acquaintances that Tiffin Motorhomes had no interest in being acquired, so out of respect for Bob Tiffin, he says never broached the subject.
"When they asked if we were interested, I said, 'Definitely,'" Martin says, adding, "When Bob Tiffin calls, you pick up the phone."
The appeal of adding Tiffin's brand to THOR's product line was readily apparent, according to Martin.
"For me, Tiffin is and always has been one of those iconic brands in the industry; they are a 48-year-old company with just a stellar reputation," he says. "They've always been known for high quality and brand loyalty."
Still, Martin says it was important to him that make sure that the two company cultures were compatible. And he says he had another concern that was equally important.
"To me, it was paramount that Bob (Tiffin) still wanted to be there; that he wanted to stay and continue doing what he's doing," Martin says. "If the family wasn't going to be involved, we would probably not have done the deal."
Reflecting the Tiffin family's desire to continue their involvement running the business, after the acquisition was announced, Tiffin Motorhomes issued a statement saying, "Three generations of the Tiffin family will continue to run the daily operations at our four locations – Red Bay, Winfield, Belmont, and Burnsville – as we continue to manufacture our distinct motorhomes. THOR Industries' acquisition of Tiffin Motorhomes allows us to continue our long-term growth and enables Bob Tiffin and the Tiffin family to remain in control and involved in our business, running it the way they want to for longer."
The path to a sale happened over a period of about six months, after a series of phone calls and in-person meetings with the Tiffins and other key managers at the company's various facilities, which left both sides feeling good about moving forward, according to Martin. He adds that terms of the deal were finalized fairly quickly given the size of the acquisition.
Martin says one development to come from the sale is that Tiffin products will be showcased at the THOR exhibit at the RV/MH Hall of Fame during September's Elkhart Open House Week.
For their part, Tiffin representatives are equally bullish on the company's acquisition.
Both companies should benefit from Tiffin Motorhomes' southern locale and its access to an expanded workforce, according to Bob Tiffin.
"In Elkhart, there's a bit of a squeeze on labor because they're trying to build so much product. Of course, it takes labor to do that – and they've pretty much used up all the labor," he says. "We have a much larger labor pool and we're very vertically integrated, which was out of necessity by not being up north."
Van Tiffin says that, with THOR's assistance, Tiffin Motorhomes can expand operations with more access to capital for things such as facilities and process improvements, allowing the company to increase its production volume.
"And THOR is just a great company to work with. Every acquisition they've ever made has flourished afterward, and we feel like that's what'll happen here," he says. "They let you continue to do what you did before to make you successful with their support, as they have with all their other acquisitions.
"We're going to be very successful with the family members staying here and being able to carry on – stronger and better," he adds.
THOR Industries also will assist with things such as distribution and marketing but will leave the things that made Tiffin successful intact, according to Van Tiffin.
Another benefit that Van Tiffin says THOR brings to the table is that its leadership knows as much about the industry as the Tiffin team does.
"They don't come in and dictate how a product is to be designed and manufactured. They want us to continue to be creative as to how we operate the company, while they'll be hands-on on the accounting side for shareholders. Outside of that, we're very involved in the com- pany's development and continuing to do the things we do that brought us here."
While other companies in the industry have purchased RV businesses, Van Tiffin says THOR is different.
"In some of those cases, those other companies tend to make their acquisitions adapt to their products and how they do things – all that does is dilute the company and the product. We'll actually be able to compete with other THOR companies – it's very healthy," he says, adding, "We're really excited about being part of THOR industries."

Ex-Mötley Crüe vocalist John Corabi says he doesn't "believe" the band's statement announcing the retirement of guitarist Mick Mars.
The statement, which was posted in October, reads, "We accept Mick's decision to retire from the band due to the challenges with his health," referring to his long battle with the inflammatory disease ankylosing spondylitis. That followed a statement a rep for Mars gave to Variety, which read, "Mick will continue as a member of the band, but can no longer handle the rigors of the road." Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 will replace Mars for Mötley's upcoming 2023 tour dates.
Speaking with the Life in the Stocks podcast, Corabi, who sang on Mötley Crüe's 1994 self-titled album, says, "I don't even know if [Mars] left Mötley, I think maybe he was shown the door."
Corabi recalls the rest of Mötley "complaining about [Mars'] guitar playing" dating back to their 1997 album, Generation Swine, which Corabi had begun recording before he left the band in 1996.
"The majority of the guitars on the Swine record…are mine," Corabi says. "They were complaining about Mick the whole f***ing time."
Corabi adds that the guitars on Mötley's 2008 album Saints of Los Angeles were played by onetime Guns N' Roses guitarist and Nikki Sixx's Sixx:A.M. bandmate DJ Ashba, while John 5 played guitar on the new songs they recorded for 2019's The Dirt soundtrack.
Regarding Mars' departure, Corabi concedes that he could "be totally wrong" but says he's waiting to hear from Mick himself.
"The [statement] that we've all heard came from Mötley and their management," Corabi says, adding that he's reached out to Mars personally but hasn't heard back.
"This is all a theory…but, personally, I don't believe a word of that statement, at all," he concludes.

Type of works: Fire - Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs) Installation
We were engaged by an automatic opening vent supplier to install a complex automatic opening vent system to a building that was being converted from the head office of a major utilities company to executive flats. Due to the layout and multiple floors of the building the sequence of opening of the smoke ventilation system required design and integration with the building fire alarm system. The extensive amount of cabling required accurate selection for correct conductor sizing.

Beginning next year, all Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) numbers will be integrated with the National Identification System (Ghana Card).
This implies that "your social security number will be your national ID number", Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia said.
He made this known yesterday, when he addressed the nation on the current state of the Ghanaian economy.
Already, works on the integration have reached advanced stage and it is expected to be finalised before end of year for its implementation in 2021.
This is part of concerted efforts aimed at digitising the Ghanaian economy to ensure optimum benefits to the business community.
Aside this integration, passport, Tax Identification Number (TIN), bank account, SIM cards, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority, among others will also be integrated.
The Vice President also noted that this integration exercise will broaden the country's tax net, especially those in the private sector.
"Currently, Ghana has less than three million people having TIN. This is expected to increase the people covered under the tax net from less than three million to 15 million", Dr. Bawumia noted.

A better term than social justice
Everyone has words that make them shrivel up inside when they hear or read them. I always want to lose my mind a little bit when I read "trigger warning" (thankfully, I've never met anyone who has said this phrase without a hint of irony). "The feels" makes me feel ways about stuff, but it's not good. "YOLO"makes me think NOLO…
Then there's one that probably shouldn't bother me, but it kind of does. It's also one that's nearly inescapable: social justice.
Obviously, I don't have a problem with what the term is intended to convey—the idea of pursuing the common good, as seen in caring for those in need, rescuing women (and men) from sex trafficking and other forms of slavery, providing safe water for communities and the like. And, of course, none could easily deny the obvious connection between being declared justified in the eyes of God and living a just life. The Bible itself makes this connection in many different ways, from the great commandments, to James' argument of faith displaying itself in works, and of course, the oft-quoted Micah 6:8:
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
Many Christians and Christian organizations are quite vocal and passionate about this call, and rightly so. After all, if we say we love Christ but don't love others, what are we? If we walk away from someone in need, wishing them God's best but doing nothing to help them in their need, what does that say about us?
So what's the big deal? Is this just an issue of semantics? Maybe (probably). But there is a reason I'm not a fan of it. And that reason really comes down to one thing: the term "social justice" is too impersonal to capture the biblical ethic. In "social justice", people can easily become merely needs or problems or priorities. People are helped, certainly, but they risk becoming disembodied.
And for the Christian, this isn't possible. When the Bible calls on us to meet the needs around us, it does so in deeply personal terms. We're to bring a cup of cold water to a brother, to give a cloak to the one who has none, to assist the widow and the orphan. The biblical ethic goes beyond merely meeting a need to expressing love to a person. And a term like social justice just doesn't do that well enough, at least not in my mind.
So what's a better term? Personally, I prefer compassion (and not just because of where I worked for nearly 10 years). Compassion has a weightiness to it, a grit. It is not mere pity, but a heart-moving call to action. When Jesus saw that crowds of people were like sheep without a shepherd, that they were harassed and helpless, he had compassion on them (Matt. 9:35-38). He cared for them. He healed their sicknesses. He taught them and made the gospel known to them. Jesus' compassion didn't move him to lobby the government (to be clear, this sort of action is a good thing), but to show love to those he met in their midst. This is the heart of Christian social action—it's a person-to-person encounter. It is not love in the abstract. It is love encased in flesh.

I do like the word compassion (and maybe part of that is because of where I work) because it doesn't just speak of the actions of justice but the heart behind them.
Well, I hear it is a good name, am I right? 🙂
A good name and a great place to work. 🙂
