HAMM's technologies are also innovative and efficient and can be found in more than 200 machine models. They make it possible to offer a broad and highly specialised product range for compaction in asphalt paving and earthworks.
A mobile system is only as good as the sum of its parts. The deciding factor, however, is how compatible the individual parts are with one another and how well they work together. Manufacturers with this skill have the ability to use selective innovations in the right place to make a lasting impact on the system's overall performance. This is how our systems always end up delivering just a little more performance than expected. And in the end, that's what really counts.
An asphalt mixing plant must be designed so that all of the materials are available in sufficient quantities at the right temperature, the right time and the right place. In addition, the process needs to be safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Thanks to Benninghoven technologies, every customer will find the right solution for their exact location based on all of the requirements and conditions.

Pompeii: The Immortal City at Science Museum of Virginia
Tuesday, 09 July, 2019|
Making its North American debut at the Science Museum of Virginia, Pompeii: The Immortal City plunges guests into the heart of the drama and the ruins of the ancient city.
The volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii was a catastrophe for its inhabitants. It petrified their lives, but also petrified Pompeii's living environment, which guests will discover in the exhibition: the fauna and flora in and around the city, agricultural production, building techniques, mastery of water resources, measurements of time and distances, etc.
Models of machines and 3D reconstructions accompany the guest in a journey across time and space. Over 100 archaeological items originating from Pompeii, including a large number being exhibited for the first time, demonstrate the knowledge the Romans had about nature as well as their scientific and technical know-how at the moment when Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D.
Spectacular immersive moments allow guests to experience the destruction of the city and to identify with the inhabitants of that time, immobilized by the volcano's ashes.
The exhibition was conceived by the Galileo Museum of Florence and the National Archaeological Museum of Naples in collaboration with Tempora and Civita Mostre.
Pompeii: The Immortal City opens June 8, 2019, and remains at the Museum until September 3, 2019. An extra ticket is required for exhibition admission. More details will be available closer to the exhibition opening date.

Information is lacking about offerings for church needs among the 16th-century Anabaptists in Switzerland and South Germany. Most likely the only funds needed, those for the poor and needy, were secured privately by the deacon as need arose. Money for church buildings and janitor service was not needed until the late 18th century or early 19th in the Palatinate and Alsace, and not until the late 19th century in Switzerland. Both there and in North America the first method of "collecting" for church purposes was by placing the contributions in offering boxes placed at the exits of the meetinghouse. In a few congregations in the Franconia Conference (Mennonite Church) in Eastern Pennsylvania this practice was continued until the mid-20th century, and is still practiced among the Old Order Mennonites of Pennsylvania who broke off from the main body in 1893, also among the Old Order Mennonites in other areas, such as Ontario.
In some North American Mennonite churches funds are raised for regular expenses by assessments on an annual basis, sometimes per capita, sometimes on a property or income basis.
The taking of offerings during the church service by having the deacons, or most commonly ushers, send collection plates through the pews probably came in connection with offerings for special purposes such as missions, although the custom of taking offerings in Sunday school for expenses of that work was established at the very beginning of Sunday-school effort. In the Mennonite Church (MC) the mission offerings were first established on a monthly basis; only recently have weekly Sunday morning offerings become a regular practice.
In the Netherlands, the Mennonites from the start contributed to their congregations, in particular for the support of the poor. This was done by two methods: (a) By collections at the religious services. In the early days the members gave their gifts to the deacons (armendienaren) before the beginning of the service; but after 1600 boxes (bossen) were placed at the exit to receive the offering. This method remained in use in conservative groups like the Groningen Old Flemish, in some of the churches until the mid-20th century. Among the more progressive Lamists the Reformed way of taking collections was adopted about 1675; i.e., during the service, usually while the congregation was singing, a collection-bag attached to a long stick was passed. The method is still used in certain Dutch Mennonite congregations. In Leiden the latter method was introduced in 1674, because the "bossen" raised so little. In 1950 the gift of charity was usually received by two deacons at the door after the benediction. Open offering plates are little used. (b) The second method is to receive the gifts at the homes of the members. In former centuries the deacons of a congregation visited the members, especially those in better financial circumstances, and encouraged them to make large donations, usually in the fall, and sometimes before Christmas. In the mid-20th century annual contributions were requested of the members and were sent in a modern businesslike way. Although these contributions are entirely voluntary, it is a common practice in many congregations that the members give one or one and a half per cent of their income.
As the expenses of the congregation increased, especially since c1820 when a salaried ministry became general, larger offerings have been asked of the members.

AVERAGE. A term used in commerce to signify a contribution made by the
owners of the ship, freight and goods, on board, in proportion to their
respective interests, towards any particular loss or expense sustained for
the general safety of the ship and cargo; to the end that the particular
loser may not be a greater sufferer than the owner of the ship and the other
owners of goods on board. Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 12, s. 7; Code de Com. art.
397; 2 Hov. Supp. to Ves. jr. 407; Poth. Aver. art. Prel.
2. Average is called general or gross average, because it falls generally upon the whole or gross amount of the ship, freight and cargo; and also to distinguish it from what is often though improperly termed particular average, but which in truth means a particular or partial, and not a general loss; or has no affinity to average properly so called. Besides these there are other small charges, called petty or accustomed averages; such as pilotage, towage, light-money, beaconage, anchorage, bridge toll, quarantine, river charges, signals, instructions, castle money, pier money, digging the ship out of the ice, and the like.
3. A contribution upon general average can only be claimed in cases where, upon as much deliberate on and consultation between the captain and his officers as the occasion will admit of, it appears that the sacrifice at the time it was made, was absolutely and indispensably necessary for the preservation of the ship and cargo. To entitle the owner of the goods to an average contribution, the loss must evidently conduce to the preservation of the ship and the rest of the cargo; and it must appear that the ship and the rest of the cargo were in fact saved.

Hollywood in California is hosting a benefit for the Pulse nightclub in Florida, where a gunman killed 49 patrons and injured 53 people last month.
A spokeswoman for Pulse in Orlando said Tuesday that the benefit will be held Aug. 19 at the NeueHouse Hollywood in Los Angeles.
Sara Brady says Los Angeles was picked for its proximity to performers and artists, who will be named at a later time.
The money raised will benefit the onePulse Foundation, which was formed by Pulse owner Barbara Poma to financially help employees.
The club will reportedly also be the site of a new, permanent memorial being built from donations to that non-profit charity, created after the mass shooting, the worst in modern U.S. history.
State filings show plans to use money donated for the planning and construction of a memorial at the existing site of the club as well as any other sites they deem relevant.
Despite that filing, Poma told NBC affiliate WESH-TV that the future of the club is unknown, labeling a social media post announcing a memorial as "prematurely posted."

Contributing editor Jim Richardson is a photojournalist recognized for his explorations of small-town life. His photos appear frequently inNational Geographic magazine.
There comes a moment when it is time to move on. You could say that's what this picture is about.
The sheep, in their browsing ways, moving down the shore on Iona, stopping here and there for a moment—a nibble of grass, a bit of a rest—and then moving on. The growing darkness forced me to use a shutter speed that stretched on into the evening, catching the sheep both in stillness and in their moving on.
After telling the tale of each of the photographs published in my Scottish Hebrides story for National Geographic, I want to share with you a few images that, regrettably, were left on the cutting room floor. Why? Because I like them.
Because I poured hours of intensity into making them. Because they deserve more than just a hidden corner of my hard drive. Because they also represent the discoveries of other photographers with my own experiments layered on.
But mostly I share them now because I think I owe them that. Not only were they part of my life but also they instructed me and helped me to see in new ways. These new ways became part of my brain, part of the network of chemical reactions, part of my ongoing map in the ways of seeing. In the future when I am lost again in the sights of our world, I might have a guide.
In some ways the technique I used in this picture is a trick. But in another way, it represents a way of seeing.
I didn't invent light painting, the technique used in this photograph of the majestic Callanish Stones. Photography, as most endeavors, is built on mining the past, seeing what others have done, learning from them, and honoring their contributions by expanding their revelations.
One of the photographers I have learned from is Dave Black. I'd like to think of Dave as an old master except for the fact that he is younger than me. But he is the master of light painting, the art of using a flashlight while photographing in the dark. Dave has plowed this field for a long time and what he has created is just amazing.
Somewhere in my subconscious Dave's lessons were with me that night at the Callanish Stones. This image of mine reveals a pattern in life and makes it visible to our brain. In that way, the photograph is not a trick but, rather, a window into another frame of time. I loved the way a little flashlight could bring the stones to life, how tall and assertive the central stone became with a bit of highlighting, and how the myriad layers of stone popped into a living texture with just a bit of sidelight. I'll carry that night with me for a very long time.
But then experimental fervor took over, and I wanted to see how far I could take the stones' symbolism. So I set up a flash on the central stone and took the camera off the tripod. After the flash went off I proceeded to shake the camera violently during the remainder of the exposure. Thus, the stone was sharp because of the short duration of the flash exposure but the rest of the frame took on a very dreamy, out-of-focus look. It turns out that how you shake the camera makes a big difference in how the background looks. It was a thrill. (See photo here.)
This picture never survived the layout skirmishes, and there is a good reason for that. Ours was a landscape story, and this simply focused on the inn, Baile na Cille. But I found the photograph's veiled mystery appealing. I need to pay more attention to the art of leaving something to the imagination.
I also need to pay more attention to grasses in the future. While on the Isle of Lewis among the dunes on the south side of Uig Bay, I made this image of the grasses whipped to a frenzy by the howling winds coming off the Atlantic. This picture came about because of work I had done a couple of years ago in the Flint Hills of Kansas. It was probably the first time I had looked on grasses as subject matter, not just inconvenient stuff between me and the real subject of my pictures. In the Flint Hills, grass covers rolling hills as far as the eye can see. On Lewis, grasses are partners with the sand, keeping the dunes in place. Mostly I was intrigued that the image could be so turbulent and angry looking, not just another scene of serenity and order.
On the other extreme of the time equation was this image from the Isle of Skye. I spent a wonderful two hours hunched over this water cascading down the rocks. I had tied a flash onto a stick and extended it so that the flash's short exposure would stop the water's motion in all its intricate gyrations. While on vacation in Cornwall the year before, I had experimented similarly, and it had reminded me of the incredible complexity of splashing water. Sooner or later I'll find a story where this kind of picture works.
And in this final image, I experience a melancholy that I cannot deny. I think of that pleasant day sitting up in the rocks on the Shiant Isles with the whole place to myself. But not alone. I was hunkered down, and it was only a few minutes until the puffins were landing four feet [1.2 meters] away, all funny-faced and curious in the way only puffins can manage. It was an enforced pleasure—important that I do nothing, disturb nothing, just shoot and take it all in. I don't know when I'll ever be there again on such a day. Mine is certainly not the greatest puffin picture ever taken, but it was a pretty good day by any standards.
These pictures and many more will now slip out of my everyday concern. Some of the cutting room floor photographs will find a life for themselves in other projects; some may even find some measure of fame. But some will never be looked at again. I'll do my best to carry them with me, to learn the lesson and do better next time.
Thanks for following along

Red Sox tender one-year qualifying offer to designated hitter David Ortiz
BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today tendered a one-year qualifying offer to designated hitter David Ortiz. The club did not tender qualifying offers to right-handed pitchers Aaron Cook, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Vicente Padilla, first baseman James Loney, and outfielders Scott Podsednik and Cody Ross.
Clubs retain the right to negotiate and/or enter into a contract agreement with any of their free agents, regardless of whether an offer was made. There are no deadlines for such negotiations and/or agreements.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, a free agent is subject to draft-pick compensation if his former club offers him a guaranteed one-year contract with a salary equal to the average salary of the 125-highest paid players from the prior season.

DURHAM — University of New Hampshire football coach Sean McDonnell is a New York Giants fan. But on Wednesday he was bleeding green for the Philadelphia Eagles.
That's because former UNH assistant and McDonnell's close friend, Chip Kelly, was named the franchise's head coach after four years with the same job at the University of Oregon.
"A great opportunity for a guy who deserves it," McDonnell said. "It's fantastic. He did a great job at our level and he's always wanted a challenge in his life. This is the ultimate challenge. He's got a great opportunity with the Eagles."
Kelly is the first person associated with the UNH football program to become a head coach in the NFL. A Manchester native, Kelly left UNH to become the offensive coordinator at Oregon following the 2006 season. He became the Ducks' head coach in 2009 and led Oregon to the Rose Bowl in his first season. Kelly also played for the Wildcats under Bill Bowes from 1981-1984.
Mike Zamarchi, who is the boys basketball coach at Marshwood High School in South Berwick, Maine, is close friends with Kelly. Zamarchi said he has no doubt Kelly will be successful in the NFL.
"He's a football guru," Zamarchi said. "It's not just college football. I know he wanted the challenge to coach in the NFL and he wanted to come back to the East Coast."
Zamarchi called Kelly's ascention from offensive coordinator at UNH to an NFL head coach is "like a storybook."
"It's pretty amazing," Zamarchi said. "That shows you what kind of a person he is, what kind of a leader he is."
Current St. Thomas Aquinas High School head coach Eric Cumba is a former Wildcat captain and was recruited by Kelly. Cumba, who hails from New Jersey, is also a Giants fan.
"I'm not surprised, but at the same time I am," Cumba said. "Obviously I'm very happy for him. Unfortunately I'm a Giants fan."
In the days following the Ducks' Fiesta Bowl victory over Kansas State on Jan. 3, Kelly initially turned down an offer to coach the Eagles as well as the Cleveland Browns and said he planned to stay at Oregon, only to change course and sign with Philadelphia.
"It means he took the time to make the right decision," Cumba said. "I know Chip and he's very compassionate. I can only imagine the emotions in that meeting at Oregon when he told his players. I know he wants what's best for those kids and that university, and he put his heart and soul into it."
In Kelly's second year at Oregon, the Ducks lost to Auburn in the BCS National Championship game. He followed that with a Rose Bowl victory in his third year and a 35-17 Fiesta Bowl victory against Kansas State on Jan. 3 in his final game with the Ducks.
During his final season at UNH, Kelly's offense ranked second nationally in scoring offense with 35.3 points per game and 15th in the country in passing offense with 245.4 yards per game. Quarterback Ricky Santos won the Walter Payton Award as the most outstanding player in FCS football, and senior wide receiver David Ball became FCS football's all-time leader in touchdown receptions by surpassing Jerry Rice's mark of 50 TD catches in a win against Richmond.
So while McDonnell will continue to root for the Giants, he'll be pulling for Kelly's Eagles when the two teams meet on the field.
"It's going to be tough," McDonnell said with a laugh. "I've always appreciated the Eagles, but I've been a big Giants fan forever. That's going to change a little bit because I'm so close to Chip."
Zamarchi's a Patriots fan, but said he'll have no trouble rooting for the Eagles.
"Unless they meet in the Super Bowl," Zamarchi said. "Then we'll have to see."

So, you believe in "alienism" becouse you like it even though there is no reason or evidence whatsoever to do so.
And you don't judge creationism accordingly because "alienism is like the extraterrestial version of it".
Fine. You are wrong but it's fine.

Collection Overview
Table of contents
Consists primarily of organizational records, including bylaws and Board of Directors' meeting minutes, 1862-1950 (v.4- 49). A few cash receipt books, 1859-1861, mortgage tax receipt books and indexes from the 1860s and 1870s, and a sampling of passbooks and other records of depositor receipts, judgments and balance statements comprise the surviving records of day-to-day transactions. Records relating to court cases involving the bank pertain primarily to matters of earnings, dividends, gift tax, and bank reorganization, as evidenced in the files of Attorney, Garrett McEnerney. Documentation of the internal operations of the bank is limited to a very few records of employee salaries and expenses for assorted social events. Also includes Richard M. Tobin and other Tobin family correspondence, 1914- 1917, condolences and other papers relating to the death of Joseph Sadoc Tobin, 1918-1920; and 11 volumes of scrapbooks, 1908-1919, containing newspaper clippings relating to the history and development of banking in San Francisco.
The Hibernia Savings and Loan Society was founded in San Francisco in 1859 by John Sullivan. It played a major role in financing San Francisco's growth in the Victorian era, and by 1900 was the largest bank in the entire state of California. Hibernia began as a membership corporation providing only savings bank services, but in 1946 became a stockholding corporation in order to provide commercial banking and trust services.

Bonita can't have it both ways.
The question is, would the Bearcats prefer an outright Hacienda League football championship or to see the same Diamond Ranch team that just put the lone blemish on its league record out of the playoffs?
Following last week's 34-31, last-second win over Bonita that kept its playoff hopes alive, Diamond Ranch still hasn't gained control of its own destiny. Provided the Panthers can defeat a 1-8 Walnut team in Thursday's regular-season finale, the rest depends on the outcome of the matchup between two-time defending league champion West Covina and a Rowland Heights Rowland team now tied with Bonita for first place.
A Rowland win awards it a co-league championship with Bonita, if the Bearcats can defeat Diamond Bar, and drops West Covina out of the playoffs. A West Covina victory drops Diamond Ranch out of the postseason and awards Bonita an outright league championship if Diamond Bar doesn't hand Bonita a second consecutive league loss.
Eisenhower has already locked up a playoff berth but its resurgent season could still end with the ultimate reward, a Citrus Belt League championship. In a three-way tie for first place with Redlands and Redlands East Valley, the Eagles need a victory over Redlands on Thursday and a REV loss to Cajon to secure a league title.
The Baseline League playoff scenario can be very simple or complicated enough to force a con flip to decide the final playoff berth. Etiwanda's victory over Glendora last week prevented a winner-take-all, third-place game between Los Osos and Glendora this week.
A Los Osos win keeps it simple. The Grizzlies will make the playoffs for the seventh time in the last eight seasons.
If Los Osos loses to Glendora and Etiwanda loses to Upland, all three will be tied for the final playoff spot behind Upland and Rancho Cucamonga.
In the Sierra League, only a Damien upset of defending league champion Covina Charter Oak can create a scenario so messy that all four teams behind Charter Oak and Chino Hills have a chance to claim the final playoff berth.
A Damien victory will force a three-way tie between it, West Covina South Hills and the winner of the Claremont-Ayala game. A Damien loss will award the third playoff spot to South Hills no matter the outcome of South Hills' game against Chino Hills.
The Mountain Valley League is not only simple, but fan-friendly. Jurupa Hills and Citrus Valley, which are tied for third place entering the regular season's final week, play each other Friday to determine the final playoff spot.
Chino needs a victory over Montclair to lock up its second outright Mt. Baldy League championship in three years. A Montclair victory, however, could land the Cavaliers in the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. But with only three playoff berths available in the league this season, Montclair needs a win and a Chaffey loss to Don Lugo to complete its playoff scenario.
Ontario Christian, the No. 1 team in the CIF-SS East Valley Division, needs a victory over Western Christian to secure its second consecutive Ambassador League championship. A Western Christian upset coupled with a loss to Aquinas by third-place Linfield Christian would land Western Christian a playoff spot for the first time in seven years.

Should I use coca cola or baking soda + water to clean my battery clamps?
My roommate's car wouldn't start, and we found a ton of corrosion on the battery posts. He heard you can clean it off with coca-cola. It seemed to work pretty well, but what's the best way to clean off corrosion? Should the wires be disconnected, or any other precautions taken?

Long before Henry Ford, the Eastern Market was a thriving success in downtown Detroit. The nation's largest farmer's market and its role in Michigan's local-food movement will be told by Eastern Market president Dan Carmody, Albion's Year of Sustainability September guest. Carmody's presentation about the Eastern Market takes place Thursday, September 26, at 8 p.m. in Norris Science Center Towsley Hall.
Detroit's Eastern Market attracts more than 45,000 visitors each week, and provides business space for everyone from local farmers to wholesalers, including many organic and specialty food producers. Carmody himself has spent 20 years in Michigan and Indiana, working to help develop local food systems and revive both small towns and urban city centers.
This event is sponsored by Albion College's Year of Sustainability, and is free and open to the public. For more information, contact committee member Jake Weber, or 517/629-0731.

Organizational environments: ritual and rationality
Sage, 1983年11月1日 - 302 頁
Meyer and Scott are among the leading proponents of the environmental view of organizational theory, which sees organizational structures as primarily determined by environment as opposed to technology. Their view and approach is demonstrated here in a collection of essays, that consider the place of organizations within a wider institutional structure, paying particular attention to educational systems and medical services.

Funky Sole
Time Out says
This raw soul party will transport you straight to Funkytown. The DJs dig deep in their crates to bring you unique, obscure grooves from the late 1960s and early '70s (many so rare that your phone app won't even recognize them). But even if the tunes are vintage, the moves on the floor are up-to-the-minute. A critical mass of b-boys and b-girls show up to break on the funk beats, making the music seem fresh as ever. The mood is buoyant, the dancers are gawk-worthy, and the journey's sure to funk you up.

History of Zinc Usage
Artifacts from the third century AD containing zinc have been found in several places around the world. It was used in the manufacture of brass, which is a combination of copper and zinc. There have been writings found that indicate its appearance as a bi-product of other smelting procedures. Artifacts have been found in Romania, France, Spain and other European countries. Zinc is very abundant in the earth's crust. It is usually found with metals such as lead and copper in ores. Zinc sulfide is the mined most frequently due to its concentration of zinc. Although it has been known and used for many centuries, the first practical commercial procedure was established in 1752. The United States, Canada and Australia contain large reserves of zinc. The largest reserve has been found in Iran.
Modern industrial uses
Zinc compounds are instrumental in about ¼ of all of the zinc output in the US. Zinc oxide is used as the pigment in white pain and is a catalyst in rubber manufacturing. Zinc is also instrumental due to its semiconductor properties in the field of photocopying. Zinc chloride is the material used as a fire retardant in lumber manufacturing as well as a preservative.
It is used occasionally in model rockets as a propellant and has been proposed as a salting material in the use of nuclear weapons. As an agent to prevent corrosion, it is used to iron and steel. The use for galvanization uses 47% of all zinc usage. Zinc is more reactive than other metals and therefore attracts local oxidation until it is gone. The protection from oxidation will continue after the zinc is scratched, but will degrade as the zinc corrodes. Galvanization is most commonly used in suspension bridges, metal roofs, light posts, heat exchangers and car bodies.
Modern medical uses
The ingredient label on most vitamin bottles will contain zinc. Scientists have reported that it contains antioxidant properties. This reportedly prevents aging of the muscles and skin. That study is controversial, but still used in commercial products. It is also instrumental in the healing injuries to the body.
Zinc oxide can prevent skin damage to the skin protecting from winter winds and summer sun. It has also been used as the predominant ingredient in ointments to prevent diaper rash in babies. It must be used during each diaper change to be effective.
Zinc lactate is found in toothpaste. It is reportedly instrumental in the prevention of halitosis. In shampoos, it has anti-dandruff functions.
Biological roles of zinc
Plants and animals require zinc as a trace element. It is second only to iron in the metals found in organisms. In humans it will interact with ligands and is instrumental in the metabolism of both DNA and RNA. The brain contains and stores zinc to modulate excitability. It is also instrumental in learning and in the function of the central nervous system.
Daily allowance
The recommended allowance (RDA) is 11mg/day for men and 8mg/day for women. The highest concentration of foods is found in red meats such as lamb, liver and beef. The presence in plants is dependent on the amount of zinc in the soil.

I love it when credit unions display their awesomeness.
And recently, UMassFive College FCU did just that.
I was driving about Western Massachusetts, when I heard a news story on our local NPR affiliate, WFCR, about UMassFive College FCU and their new CSA loan. Here's the one-minute radio segment about it: Credit Union loans for farm shares
This statement may raise some or all of the following questions from you:
1.) What does CSA stand for, and what is it?
2.) What is a CSA loan?
3.) Why is it a perfect match that a Credit Union should offer a CSA loan?
4.) Why is this a brilliant business strategy on the part of UMassFive College FCU?
5.) What could UMassFive do to promote their CSA loans even further?
6.) Why do I care?
Q. What does CSA stand for, and what is it?
A. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically it's a cooperative farm, in a similar way that a credit union is a cooperative financial institution. Customers each purchase a share of the food that is made by the farm. For example, one share might cost $700 for the year. During the spring, summer, and fall, you come to the farm and grab that week's share of food, the contents and amount of which will vary during the harvest season. Typically, you get a box full of fantastic fresh produce each week. Here's an example of what Simple Gifts Farm's produce share consists of. The photo on the right is a typical summer week's share from Doe Run Farm, a CSA in Tennessee.
What is the advantage of a CSA? Terrifically fresh and local food. Savings over what it would cost if purchased from a grocery store. Half-shares are also often available from a CSA, which get you half the amount of a full share of the farm harvest each week, usually at somewhat more than half the cost of a full share. Often times, membership in a CSA also requires a few hours per month helping to box up the week's harvest.
Q. What is a CSA loan?
A. A CSA loan is a loan for the cost of one year's share. While many people might be interested in buying local, and supporting local agriculture for a variety of reasons, many of the people interested in doing it can't afford a lump sum payment of $600-$700. So in this case, UMassFive College Federal Credit Union is offering their members a NO-INTEREST loan, payable over 6 months, to finance buying a share in the CSA. So instead of $700 in one payment, the consumer would be able to pay $117 a month for six months. For many families, they may lower their total grocery bills while receiving a plentiful amount of fresh fruits and veggies.
Q. 3.) Why is it a perfect match that a Credit Union should offer a CSA loan?
A. The sixth of the Seven Cooperative Principles states that cooperatives should cooperate with each other. Both credit unions and CSAs are cooperatives. Both are (usually) dedicated to local cooperative principles. It's a perfect fit.
Q.) Why is this a brilliant business strategy on the part of UMassFive College FCU?
A.) Because great businesses differentiate themselves, which creates a brand unique to that business. Credit unions are the only type of financial institution which can partner with CSAs in this way, authentically. (Banks could do it, but they'd be seen as copycats. Realistically, offering these types of loans is not on any bank's radar screen.) This loan does many things at once: Strengthens the credit union's brand as a local cooperative, actively doing things to strengthen the community which they serve. It also helps the CSA by making it possible for more people to afford to buy shares in it. It helps the member by spreading the payments for a CSA share out over several months.
There are other benefits of of buying local food, (belonging to a CSA is one way to do it), from which the Credit Union's brand image is enhanced by association: CSAs help reduce the nation's overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the fuel needed to package and transport food through the wholesaler to supermarket supply chain.
Offering interest-free CSA loans is not going to add significant dollars to the CU's bottom line, nor is it going to cost them a significant amount. But their reputation is enhanced immeasurably, and management and the board must be taking the position that the PR gained, and thus future business, will more than offset the small amount of the cost of the program. Already, being interviewed by the local NPR affiliate is fantastic marketing, which had no cost.
Q. What could UMassFive do to promote their CSA loans even further?
A. Right now, their CSA loan page has a link to a local food site. I'm not sure if UMassFive is promoting this in their lobbies and teller lines too, but if not, they should. Also, they could provide a more direct link to the CSAs that are in the same area as the majority of their members. And of course, they should get in touch with all of these area CSAs and make them explicitly aware of their interest-free loans. UMassFive could also create a CU/CSA-day event, inviting representatives of the CSA to bring samples to the CU, and make it a festive occasion, bringing both more awareness to the CSAs themselves, and to the fact that UMassFive supports them. Also, UMassFive could publicize the WFCR story about their CSA loans nationally, which if successful, will increase the pride that its members have in it.
Q. Why do I care?
A. Long before I knew what a credit union was, as a child, my mother belonged to a food coop. Now that I've made a profession helping credit unions, it's great to see a credit union that is doing something that makes a lot of sense from a business and community-enhancement standpoint. And by so doing makes the world a better place.
Oh yeah, and my mother is a not only a member of UMassFive College FCU, she's also a member of CSA Simple Gifts Farm in North Amherst. And on Thursdays in the fall, she often brings my son there to help gather the week's share.

When a Gainesville maintenance man found his tenant either dead or dying, he decided to use his ATM card to withdraw more than $600 before he called 911, The Gainesville Sun reported.
Three weeks after the tenant's death on July 1, the man's brother called police to report an ATM withdrawal that was made just minutes before the paramedics arrived, the report said.
Man Arrested for Refusing to Allow Firefighters Into Room to Extinguish Flames:Cops
Clarence Davis, 52, called 911 on July 1 to report a death at a Gainesville apartment complex. Shortly after the paramedics arrived J.W. White was pronounced dead of an undisclosed medical condition, the report said.
But White's brother told police that the transaction had been made just eight minutes before his death at the ATM across the street from the apartment, the report said.
Surveillance video from the Bank of America ATM showed Davis withdrawing a total of $611.90 including transaction fees, the report said.
Actors Dressed as Superheroes and Terrorists Cause Fright at Outdoor Boca Shopping Center
When Davis returned from the bank, he called 911 to ask for help, according to the report.
Davis told police he had been granted permission to withdraw the money and use it to pay his rent and other bills, the report said. But Davis later admitted to keeping the money and using it to restore the apartment so it could be re-rented, the report said.
A police spokesman told the newspaper that Davis knew the card's PIN number because he used to run errands for White.
Davis was arrested and faces a charge for grand theft. He is being held on a $5,000 bond at the Alachua County jail. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.

Despite my great respect for Sojourners magazine and its staff, I find myself disappointed, once again, as I scan the pages of the magazine. Were I from a different planet and wanted to know what is going on in the realm of earthly injustice, your magazine would give me an almost complete picture of the scope of issues.
However, I would have no idea that there is a huge crisis going on in the world for people who were not born as heterosexuals. I would be clear about racial injustice, ethnic injustice, gender inequality, classism, militarism, and the list goes on and on. But I would have no idea that young, innocent youth are dying from suicide at a horrific rate because they have internalized the ignorance and bigotry perpetuated by our society. I would have no idea that countless others have run away from homes that use the authority of the church to justify cruel and hateful rejection of innocent souls. I would not know about shameful murders of individuals whose crime was simply that of loving someone of their own gender. I would also be unaware of those who "live lives of quiet desperation" because they cannot reconcile their own desires with the teachings of their church. Remaining hopelessly locked in a loveless, lifeless closet becomes their only option.

A lot of folks around the country are making fun of Texas these days, what with all the talk of secession. But Texas Sen. John Cornyn believes the nation could learn one important lesson from the Lone Star State: how to properly take care of its veterans.
Cornyn filed an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill, adopted today, to address "what can only be called a national scandal and that is the massive backlog of VA disability claims," he said in a conference call with reporters.
During the conference call, Cornyn described the current backlog affecting Texans. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Waco VA regional office is dealing with the highest backlog in the nation with 48,163 claims pending. More than three quarters of these claims, at 36,886, have been pending for over 125 days. The Houston VA office is not doing any better, having the fourth highest number of claims pending in the nation at 37,834, with 27,844 claims pending for over 125 days.
"It goes without saying, but I will say it anyways, that our veterans have shown the ultimate devotion to our country and they deserve to be treated fairly, when they have earned these benefits and unfortunately we've seen less than acceptable results," Cornyn told the reporters on the call.
"In Texas, I am pleased to say, the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) has undertaken a state based initiative … to clear out the backlog," Cornyn praised his home state, noting that his amendment is taking the Texas initiative nationwide. According to Cornyn, his amendment would require the VA to report to Congress with a plan — "something they don't apparently have yet" — on potential partnerships with outside entities such as TVC. These partnerships will enable the VA to clear the backlog and then deal with new claims as they are submitted helping to avoid similar situation in the future.
After Cornyn's amendment was approved by the Senate today, he tweeted:
"Our wounded warriors have endured injuries in defense of freedom. It's unacceptable that they now endure long waits on their disability claims due to endless spools of bureaucratic red tape," Gov. Rick Perry wrote in a press release yesterday. "I applaud Sen. Cornyn's efforts to alleviate the backlog and I have full confidence that the Texas model of cooperation between the VA and various state agencies will help our veterans get the timely assistance they deserve."
According to the governor's office, it was under Gov. Perry's guidance that the TVC created a Claims Procession Assistance Team to address the VA backlog and "authorized funding from the governor's office to support up to 12 new veterans counselors to expedite veterans' benefits claims."
This past July, Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Strauss re-authorized the TVC to use $1.5 million from its 2012-2013 budget towards the cause. Within the first two months, the TVC helped complete more than 2,500 backlogged claims and assisted with submission of more than 800 fully-developed claims during the first two months of the initiative, testified TVC Claims Representation and Counseling Director James O. Richman in September.

LOOKING BACK: Stephen Lewis, Canada
Stephen Lewis is a self-described feminist. The Canadian politician turned global human-rights activist says he lives in a feminist family. His adult children are also feminists. "They know if they weren't, they'd be disinherited," he says.
For Lewis, the ideals of the women's rights movement are inseparable from the larger mission of social justice. "One can't marginalize more than half of the world's population," he says, "and pretend to approximate social justice."
A former leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party, Lewis was appointed Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations in 1984, the first of several senior UN roles. From 2001 to 2006, as the UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, Lewis drew world attention to the devastation the pandemic disproportionately inflicted upon the continent's women and girls. Lewis then assumed — and today remains — a blunt, gutsy voice for all victims, especially women with the disease. Part of his message is that support from fathers, sons, brothers and male friends is key to staunching the pandemic. "I have never in all my adult life imagined that gender inequality should wreak such damage on women," Lewis said in 2006. "I have never imagined that one communicable disease would exhibit such a ferocious assault on one sex. What is happening to the women of the continent of Africa is perhaps the most distressing dimension of the entire pandemic."
Men, Lewis says, hold inordinate power to reverse cultural patterns of sexual violence and entitlement and undo misogynistic property and inheritance laws.
Today Lewis, 73, runs his own Toronto-based foundation to help community-based groups battling HIV/AIDS in Africa. He recognizes that the behavior of men and boys can be changed, but few HIV programs reach out to them. With that in mind, Lewis continues to target male leaders with his message: Helping women live is helping everyone live better.
The single most important struggle on the face of the planet is the struggle for gender equality. If schools can do nothing more than get young boys to understand and resprect young girls, you will have made an immense contribution.
