JENKENS & GILCHRIST, P.C. was a Dallas-based law firm, founded in 1951 as Jenkens & Bowens to service the various businesses controlled by Clint Murchison, Jr. _The Dallas Morning News_ was an early client. As a result of the extent of Murchison family holdings, the firm soon developed expertise in corporate transactions.

In the 1980s, the firm faced liability and financial difficulties resulting from involvement in the Savings and Loan Crisis. Jenkens settled a number of malpractice lawsuits in 1987 for $18 million. In the 1990s, Jenkens saw intense growth and added offices outside Texas for the first time to expand from a regional into a national law firm.

Opening a Chicago office with a tax attorney team from Altheimer & Gray in 1998 would become the most fateful act for the firm.[1] In 2000, the firm merged with Parker Chapin Flattau & Klimpl to launch in New York City. By 2001, the firm employed more than 600 attorneys, reaching its peak in size. In 2004, the firm advised Fossil, Inc. in its $173 million secondary securities offering managed jointly by J.P. Morgan, Jefferies & Company, and CIBC World Markets.

Firm's demise

In the 1990s, the Chicago office began a lucrative practice of offering tax shelter advice to a variety of wealthy corporate and individual clients, primarily by drafting opinion letters stating that certain tax schemes were compliant with the Internal Revenue Code. The Chicago tax group earned $267 million from 1998 to 2003. The group worked in coordination with tax advisers at Ernst & Young.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began investigating Ernst & Young and several taxpayers in 2002. Eventually, it audited many Jenkens clients, who subsequently filed malpractice suits against the firm. In 2003, the IRS itself sued Jenkens & Gilchrist. Facing a substantial potential liability, the firm began to unravel.[2]

As negotiations about settling with the government and other plaintiffs dragged on, partners with portable business began to depart. In 2005, the 90-attorney New York City office from legacy Parker Chapin defected to Troutman Sanders. In 2007, the Los Angeles office decamped to Baker & Hostetler. The remaining partners in the Chicago office switched to Nixon Peabody. Some 100 attorneys in Dallas, Austin and Houston found a new home at Hunton & Williams. The majority of the San Antonio office moved to Texas firm Jackson Walker, LP while Partner Phillip D. Freeman and Associate Nicole Betters, along with many from the Austin office, moved to Winstead.[3]

Finally, the firm agreed to settle its liabilities with the IRS, pay a $76 million fine, and to cease practicing law effective March 31, 2007.[4]

On May 24, 2011, four lawyers with the firm were found guilty of tax evasion, conspiracy, and related charges stemming from a ten-year tax shelter scheme that prosecutors said generated more than $1 billion in fictive losses.[5] As of 2012, the defendants were seeking a new trial after learning one of the jurors lied about her background in order to be selected.[6]

SIR WILLIAM ARROL & CO. was a leading Scottish civil engineering and construction business founded by William Arrol and based in Glasgow. It built some of the most famous bridges in the United Kingdom including the second Tay Bridge, the Forth Bridge and Tower Bridge in London.

Early history

The Company was founded by William Arrol, born in Houston, Renfrewshire in 1839, the fourth child of Thomas Arrol, a cotton spinner. He started work at the age of nine in a cotton mill, having passed himself off as thirteen. In 1850, the family moved to Paisley and William found work at Coats’s Cotton Thread Manufacturing making bobbins. At the age of fourteen he was apprenticed to a blacksmith at Paisley, supplementing his practical education with night school classes and the purchase of books on engineering.[1]

At end of his apprenticeship William Arrol worked as a journeyman blacksmith with mixed success. Work was not easy to find and in 1858, now aged nineteen, he took a job at Ker’s factory at Paisley. Eventually he was engaged as a foreman at Laidlaw’s Engineering Works in Glasgow. Here he was entrusted with his first bridges: the Greenock and Ayrshire Railway at Greenock in 1885 and the West Pier at Brighton 1866. After two years, Arrol had saved enough money to set up with a friend as boiler and girder makers. However, they incurred heavy losses through non-payment by customers and the partnership was dissolved. On his own again with his small works in Glasgow, in 1871 he was given the construction of railway bridges on the Balerno line in Edinburgh.[2]

In 1872, now in his early thirties, Arrol left his old works and moved to Dalmarnock in south Glasgow. His first important contract was for a bridge over the Clyde at Bothwell for the North British Railway. This bridge, which was 120 feet above the water, was notable for Arrol’s introduction of the idea of building the girders on land and rolling them out pier to pier. In 1875 he built the first of the two great bridges for the Caledonian Railway over the Clyde. Faced by a strike by the riveters he invented a hydraulic riveting machine, later to enjoy widespread use in the shipbuilding industry. [3]

The Great Bridges

December 1879 saw the great Tay Bridge disaster where the railway bridge collapsed under the lateral pressure of high winds, barely a year after it had opened. William Arrol was awarded the contract for the new bridge. Construction of the new Tay Bridge was started in 1882 and it opened in 1887. Almost simultaneously, William Arrol was also working on the Forth Bridge. Construction began in 1882 and when it was opened in1890 it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world. William Arrol’s commitment to these two bridges was rewarded with a knighthood: Sir William Arrol & Company Ltd was incorporated in June 1893.[4] The completion of the two Scottish bridges gave Sir William Arrol an international reputation and in the succeeding years bridges were built around Great Britain, Europe and as far as Australia. Perhaps the best known was London’s Tower Bridge opened in 1894, where Sir William Arrol erected all the steel work.[5]

Diversification

The development of Dalmarnock Works to cope with Arrol’s increased business involved the construction of new buildings with large spans and roofs of steel and glass which let in light throughout the building. Their size allowed the installation of large overhead cranes with up to 100 tons lifting capacity. This became an activity in its own right as similar buildings were constructed for other companies.[6] Also arising out of Dalmarnock Works and bridgebuilding were cranes. particularly for shipbuilding; they had a loading capacity ranging from five to 150 tons. The most famous crane. the largest of its time, is the Titan Crane completed in 1907; a gigantic cantilever crane of 150-ton capacity. for John Brown & Company.[7] With this increased range of activity, the Dalmarnock Works occupied 17 acres and employed 2000 men plus thousands more working on outside contracts. Sir William died in 1913 but the Company continued as an independent entity until 1969.[8]

Titanic

[Workers leaving the Harland & Wolff shipyard in early 1911. The RMS _Titanic_ can be seen in the background, underneath the Arrol Gantry.] The company was contracted by Harland and Wolff Shipyard, Belfast, to construct a large gantry (known as the Arrol Gantry) for the construction of three new super-liners, one of which was called the RMS _Titanic_. Like the ships themselves, the gantry crane was one of the largest built at the time, comparing with transporter bridges in length, height and capability.[13]

Hikitia

[Hikitia at the Taranaki St wharf in Wellington] The company also built the crane for the Hikitia in 1926, which is thought to be the last fully operational self-propelled steam crane in the world.

Demise of the business

41% of applicants who have terrible candidate experiences (rating them one out of five stars) say they’ll take their loyalty and money elsewhere. But for candidates with five-star experiences, 64% say they’ll definitely increase their relationship with the employer—even if they didn’t end up getting the job.

As illuminating as that statistic is, it’s just one of hundreds of intriguing and often surprising facts available in the 2016 North American Candidate Experience Research Report compiled by the Talent Board. A nonprofit research organization, the Talent Board gives out the CandE Awards (short for candidate experience, of course) and has conducted similar research for six straight years, unlocking major insights into the ways both candidates and employers view the hiring process.

For the report, they interviewed 240 companies and over 183,000 candidates to learn how candidate experiences are evolving from both sides of the table—here are five key takeaways and suggestions that stood out from reviewing their findings.

1. CANDIDATES WANT A “PROGRESS BAR,” BUT MANY AREN’T GIVEN ACCESS TO REGULAR STATUS UPDATES

[]

Ever used Domino’s pizza tracker? It’s a marvel of modern marketing and technology that tells you exactly where your pizza is in the cooking and delivery process—and customers eat it up. Consumers love detailed tracking and status updates, whether it’s for an incoming pizza or the arrival of a friend in an Uber—and today’s candidates are no different.

According to the Talent Board’s research, job seekers want (and increasingly expect) insight into two areas: how far along they are with the application as they’re completing it, and status updates as they go through the hiring process. In a sense, this all relates back to receiving regular feedback, which statistics reveal as one of the most important aspects of the candidate experience.

“Candidates want to understand their progress,” says the Talent Board’s report. “When customers shop online, they have insight into how many steps are left before they complete their purchase. Candidates deserve a similar experience.”

Yet many employers still fall short: Though 52% of candidates with five-star experiences were given an application progress indicator, only 4% of overall candidates say they were given a link to check their status after applying.

Clearly, providing regular updates improves the candidate experience, and recruiters should let candidates know where they stand frequently, whether through tracking technology or simply by increasing touch points.

2. CANDIDATES AREN’T USING THEIR PHONES TO APPLY TO JOBS, BUT THEY ARE SEARCHING FOR OPPORTUNITIES ON MOBILE

According to the Talent Board’s data, mobile continues to be one of the biggest areas for new TA investment. 79% of surveyed employers allow candidates to apply to jobs via mobile, according to the 2016 report—an increase of 18% in just a year—and many more have plans to enable mobile applications imminently.

However, the data also reveals that most candidates aren’t actually using their phones or tablets to apply for jobs. Though that number has gone up a tiny bit in recent years, just 12% of candidates applied on mobile devices in 2016.

That said, many candidates perform their initial research on their phones, then move to laptops or desktops to complete the actual application. For example, of the one billion job searches performed each month, 60% are done on mobile. When candidates have their resumes pre-saved on sites like LinkedIn, they can then take advantage of streamlined (even one-button) application processes as soon as they find an open position.

Simply put, recruiters should make sure their job listings are mobile-friendly and invest in building up an application process which doesn’t require access to a desktop computer.

3. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CANDIDATE EXPERIENCES GET AMPLIFIED QUICKLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Recruiters already know that a bad candidate experience can quickly turn into a triple whammy: a lost candidate, a lost customer, and a missed opportunity for referrals.

But there’s another problem: As Virgin Media learned, the hit you take from a single negative candidate experience could become millions of dollars when you factor in the friends and family that they share their experience with.

First, the bad news: The data shows that social media sharing might mean the hit is even worse than that. Candidates share their negative experiences 34% of the time on social media, broadcasting the gory details to a gigantic audience.

These upset candidates often use social media the same way disgruntled consumers do:

_“How many of you have used social media to garner customer service action instead of growing old waiting on the customer service phone trees? [...] The same is true for job seekers… Those negative experiences not only potentially impact the employment brand and direct revenue... but also diminish [recruiters’] ability to attract sought-after talent and the referral networks that come with them.”_

Fortunately, there’s also good news: According to the report, candidates are even more likely to share their positive experiences. They share them with “inner circles” more than 81% of the time, and go online to tell positive candidate stories about 51% of the time via social media.

In other words, bad experiences can cost your company on a large scale through social media proliferation—but you can also turn that perception around quickly by taking immediate steps to rectify the situation.

4. RESPECTING THE CANDIDATE’S TIME IS REALLY, REALLY (REALLY) IMPORTANT

When it comes to candidates voluntarily withdrawing from the application process, it’s all about time—wasting it, that is. The longer you drag the process out, the more likely the candidate is to become frustrated and lose interest in the position.

In the report, “respect for candidate time” and “length of overall time” were the two most commonly cited reasons for candidate withdrawal. And among candidates with one-star overall experiences, 19% felt their time was not respected during interviews and other appointments.

Most meaningfully of all, 99% of candidates with five-star experiences said they did not have problems with recruiters disrespecting their personal time.

In short, though recruiters already know respecting candidates’ time is important, the data shows it could actually be the single biggest difference between a positive and negative experience.

5. YOU PROBABLY AREN’T PROVIDING ENOUGH EMPLOYEE TESTIMONIALS

Here’s one area that most recruiters and TA teams can easily improve on: providing actual employee testimonials in your career sites and posts.

You probably know that employee-based content is incredibly valuable to candidates—and that employee referrals are now the number one source of quality hires. In fact, the report reveals that candidates now value the words and opinions of existing employees more than they did even just a year or two ago.

Career sites are still the most valuable source for job information, says the data, but modern, Internet-savvy candidates are increasingly wary of taking employer-based information at face value.

“Candidates no longer want to go directly to the source to discover information about the company and the job,” says the report. “They want to hear from existing employees and peers.”

But employers can also improve their own career sites, job descriptions, and employer branding by incorporating authentic employee content. For the report, candidates were asked what types of job and marketing content they considered most valuable. Employee testimonials landed right near the top at 36%, a 3% increase since 2014; meanwhile, 35% called out salary and compensation, 5% less than two years ago.

Taken together, these five takeaways paint a clear picture: By keeping candidates updated on their progress, respecting their time, and giving your existing employees an authentic spotlight, you can make huge, impactful improvements to your candidate experience.

The MAGGIE ALLESEE NATIONAL CENTER FOR CHOREOGRAPHY (MANCC), housed in Florida State University's Department of Dance, is a process-based research center for dance.

Conception and planning

In the first proposal of creating a national choreographic center, Carolelinda Dickey and Susan Sheppard stated: “Every important project originates in a confluence of ideas, need, and opportunity. The National Center for Choreography (NCC), which is now known as The Maggie Allesse National Center for Choreography (MANCC) was set in motion by Florida State University’s Dance Department administration and faculty in order to explore the definition of “research and development” within the field of dance, as well as to investigate the need within the national dance field to develop new models that support the creation of dance”.[1]

For nearly seventy years, Florida State University has supported and encouraged the growth of its dance department and its role in progressing creative research in the field. In 2002, the President of FSU and the Dean of Visual Arts and Dance invited Libby Patenaude, former Chair of the Department of Dance, to begin searching for ways to initiate the creation of The National Center for Choreography (NCC) as a “Center of Excellence”, which would be associated with FSU, a Research I university.

After interviewing various national dance leaders, Patenaude became aware that such a choreographic center would be vital in making progress in the field. With this realization came an understanding of the challenge she was about to undertake, so she proposed hiring a consultant team to assist in the planning and structuring of the NCC. After measuring the viability behind the project proposal, several pilot projects, which grew out of discussions with European national choreographic centers, were presented to clarify the company's mission statement and structure, and Jennifer S.B Calienes, former Director of the National Dance Project (New England Foundation for the Arts) was hired as the Director.

From plan into action

After $17 million worth of renovations to the original 1920s gymnasium that housed FSU's original Department of Dance, and the National Center for Choreography in the works, Montgomery Gym was revitalized in October 2004 to become one of the nation's leading dance facilities. FSU alumna Maggie Allesee endowed the choreographic center which was renamed as the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography (MANCC). “Maggie Allesee is a 1949 FSU graduate in English, journalism, and education, who now lives in Detroit. She was head cheerleader on the first FSU cheerleading squad, and the first woman to earn a varsity letter at Florida State”.[2] Allesee's endowment assisted in making the plan of MANCC a reality.

Programs and artists involved

Today, MANCC is a choreographic center that promotes experimentation through an emphasis on the creative process. MANCC's mission aims to alleviate the pressure of producing a final product that choreographers constantly confront in the dance world. This mission allows artists to focus solely on the process of choreographic investigation. The various MANCC programs geared toward fulfilling this goal are:

1.  Choreographic Fellowship Program
2.  Free to Rep Program
3.  Living Legacy Program

Each of these programs offers a unique opportunity in choreographic development. Choreographic Fellows are nominated, Free to Rep requires an application process, and Living Legacy is curated. In 2004–05, artists included Tere O'Connor, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Chuck Davis, Dan Wagoner and Chunky Move. In 2005–06, artists included Uri Sands, Bridget Moore, Take Ueyama, Adele Meyers, Adia Whitaker, Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer, K.T. Neihoff, Yasuko Yokoshi, Ben Levy, Eiko and Koma, Philadanco, Anouk Van Dijk, and Jill Sigman. 2006–07 artists included Miguel Gutierrez, Monica Bill Barnes, David Neumann, Tania Isaac, Yanira Castro, AXIS Dance Company, Alex Ketley, Kate Weare, Shinichi Iova-Koga, Isabel Croxatto, Urban Bush Women and JANT-BI.

The most recent visiting artists include Margaret Jenkins, Luciana Achugar, Nami Yamamoto, Yannis Adoniou, Deborah Hay, Kate Weare, Limon Dance Company, Neta Pulvamacher, Ellen Cornfield, Collin Conner, Dean Moss, Nora Chipaumire, and Urban Bush Women and JANT-BI.

MANCC “Entrypoints” enable the students, staff and faculty, Tallahassee community and the National Dance field to engage with the research in process. From MANCC's artist applications “Participating artists are encouraged to explore innovative entrypoints into the work beyond those of performance and the historical menu of master class, lecture demonstration, workshop and setting of repertory. Although the center recognizes the value of this menu, it supports artists in redefining the language and structure of how work is made and shared. MANCC seeks to provide a lens into the creative process of choreographers as it varies with each artists, piquing the audience's curiosity and investment into the process and eventual product”. Through exposure to such a vast group of artists, the faculty and students at FSU are able to reach a broader perspective on choreographic aesthetics in dance. The uniquely supportive environment at MANCC is devoid of the pressure to create a final product, and because of this, artists visiting MANCC continue to explore the creative process and advance the form, expanding the possibilities for contemporary dance's future worldwide.

The Tree Cat

by Gabriel Beury-Moore

Commonly being mistaken as other trees when it is spoken of, the tree cat is exactly what its name describes. Some say the tree cat was once a house cat. He lived with a young man who worked hard during the day and would come home to his best friend waiting for him, and everyday the cat would greet him with excitement and joy. He waited for his owner to come home. He waited for days: pacing around outside, running inside at the slightest noise indoors, and running around the whole house just to make sure his owner was not hiding. Eventually, the cat just stopped. He sat patiently outside in the rain, in the snow, at night, and all day. Before his transformation, he did not know of the magic that lived inside him, for he thought he was just a cat. But as a tree grows its root into the ground, the cat’s fur grew into the soil, absorbing his nutrients through the water he drank. His skin became hard with rigor, to become the bark of a tree. His body grew
straight up to the sky; he reached for the sweet rays of the sun to drink in the warmth and energy it gave him.

Like the leaves of a tree, his fur changed with the seasons. It was bright and full of luster in the summer, colorful and vibrant in fall, cold and dark in the harsh snows of winter, and in the spring his fur would slowly fade its color until it became bright again in the summer as the air became warmer. Unlike the leaves of a tree, his fur never fell. Slowly, over many years, his fur became broader and wider to soak in the sun. Finally, the once small house cat became tall and filled with beautiful leaves, his face hidden perfectly by them. He listened to the messages the wind brought him, and the stories the tall grass told him, but he would only open his eyes once a day to wish the sun a good morning and bid the moon a good night. The rain, when it came, brought news of what was happening around the world. Sometimes the rain told sad tales of war and famine; sometimes the rain told tales of peace. However, when the rain asked what the tree cat would like to know, he asked the same question,
“Have you seen my owner?”

And every time he asked, the rain was deeply saddened. The rain told him, “I have not seen your owner, but I know he is safe.”

With that news, the tree cat shut his eyes and smiled. While it was sad that no one had seen his old friend, he took solace in knowing that his best friend was okay.

Why am I telling you this story? I am an old friend of the tree cat. I knew him when he was just a small kitten. I knew him as the cheerful boy who faithfully followed his owner wherever he went. I was there when he could not find him. He asked me, “Have you seen my owner?” And I responded, “I’m sorry, but I have not.”

I told him that if he waited, he could drink from me as much as he wanted, that he could bask in the suns that warm the Earth, that he could eat the food that grows by my banks, that he could play in the sand that builds with my ebb and flow.

For years, I took care and watched over the once young cat while he sat patiently. I watched him grow into the majestic tree that he is today. He continues to thrive and to smile at me when I say hello. And every day he asks all he sees if they have seen his owner, and every day we lie to him.

We keep him company and we keep him happy by telling stories of time and stories of the world. We do not tell him of the day his owner passed. We keep from him that his owner visited him every day, but he could not see him. We fail to mention that he built a home to stay with him forever. We forget that his son would sit in the shade of the tree cat. We remember that every day his owner would tell him that he loves him. We keep from him that his owner’s children buried him just behind the tree cat and he could know that he was always with him if he could just look down. Most importantly, we have not told him that his owner buried him in the exact spot he grows.

The owner was special; he spoke to all of us knowing that we were listening. He knew that he would outlive his small friend and he prepared for his passing every day.

Every day he told us stories to then tell his friend. On the day of the tree cat’s passing, he asked us one thing. He asked the grass, the suns, the moon, the wind, the rain, and myself just one thing. He asked us not to tell his friend that he has passed. He prepared us and coached us to tell the tree cat the stories he told us for years. Before he placed his small friend into the ground we asked him,
“But what do we tell him when we run out of stories?”

He told us that by the time we run out of stories, he would be back to relieve us of our responsibility. With that, he ever so carefully placed his small friend into the ground and placed the earth over him. He said a quick goodbye and went on with his life, making sure to see the tree cat everyday. He made sure to thank each of us for our help. He did this every day until the day he died. Soon, the house that he started a family in became covered in vines. With no one to care for it, the house became disheveled and fell apart.

As years turned to decades and decades to centuries, the stories we had began to dwindle to smaller and smaller numbers.

On the last day, I told my final story to the tree cat. As I ended the story, the tree cat opened his eyes; he smiled and told me what a wonderful story it was. As he told me this, he got a peculiar look on his face. A new wind had arrived, one he had not felt before. It greeted him with a voice as old as he could remember. The tree cat asked,
“Where have you been all these years? Why did you leave me?”

“I never left you, old friend. I have been with you your whole life and past-life. I was in the stories your friends would tell you and in the air you breathe, the sun that wakes you, and the water you drink.”

With that said, the tree cat and his owner looked at each other with the same look they gave each other when they lived, each carrying a slight smile. What I saw then I had never seen since before I flowed into this land. As the two friends stared at each other, not saying a word, a single leaf fell from the tree cat’s face. As the leaf fell, his smile disappeared slowly with each leaf making it smaller and smaller until his face had disappeared.

As the leaves fell, the wind began to take form. The shape of a young man appeared next to a small kitten playing in a pile of leaves. As the last leaf fell, the tree cat jumped into the welcome arms of his owner and when the leaf finally fluttered to the ground, the cat and his owner faded away to spend the rest of time together.

title: Just discovered this subreddit, SO! Here is, The Tree Cat

question: Summarize what happened to the cat.

answer: A housing development was built near the cat's home. The old family companion lives in the ownership of the house.

[story.lead_photo.caption] FILE — Yarnell's Chairman Albert Yarnell helps Georgia Vest cut a container of ice cream for a quality and taste test at Yarnell's Factory in this 2007 file photo.

SEARCY — With a name long associated with “Arkansas’s ice cream,” Albert Rogers Yarnell worked in and later oversaw his family’s business of manufacturing Yarnell’s Ice Cream in Searcy, while also becoming a community leader in both his hometown and the state.

Yarnell, who died Sunday at 94, spent more than 75 years with his family’s business, then, after the Searcy plant closed in 2011, served as a consultant during the brand’s rebirth the following year.

Yarnell’s father, Ray Yarnell, began the Yarnell’s Ice Cream Company in 1932. When Albert returned home after serving in World War II decoding top-secret messages, he joined the family business in 1948 as vice president and sales manager.

Yarnell helped to guide a major plant expansion that increased the company’s production ability and broadened its sales territory through central and south Arkansas, according to a company history in the online Encyclopedia of Arkansas. Yarnell’s became one of the most successful regional ice cream companies in the country. Yarnell became general manager in 1964 then company president upon his father’s death in 1974.

Yarnell, though, may be best remembered by those who knew him as being a “strong civic leader” both in his community and the state, and for his willingness to quietly help anyone in need, said his son, Rogers Yarnell.

Albert Yarnell had served as a president of the Searcy Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club and even as mayor of Searcy. He was a member of the statewide Baptist Medical System Board of Directors for more than 40 years and the board’s chairman in 2000, and also was a past president of the Arkansas Dairy Products Association. He was a member of the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame, “one of his nicest honors,” Rogers Yarnell said.

As a “very private man,” Albert Yarnell was always available to hear others’ problems and help however he could, his son said.

“Many times I would find out after the fact that someone who worked with him or someone in his church had a problem, that might have been a financial problem or a marital problem,” he said. “He was always willing to take the time to understand and would do what he could to help them. He always thought of others before he thought of himself.”

Yarnell’s plant closed in June 2011 because of declining ice cream sales and rising prices, according to the company at the time. A Chicago group, Schulze & Burch Biscuit Co. acquired the Searcy plant in November 2011 and the Yarnell’s brand was reborn the next year. Albert Yarnell served as a consultant to the new owners, saying in an interview that offering advice “just seemed like the right thing to do,” according to a Jan. 27, 2014, Associated Press article.

Yarnell and Kevin Boyle, Schulze & Burch’s president, became “really close,” Rogers Yarnell recalled.

“Questions about things that just weren’t on any drawings and where you had to rely on someone’s personal knowledge to figure out,” Yarnell said. “Dad was always there to help Kevin, and Kevin relied on my father.”

During a celebration of his life, Yarnell’s ice cream will be hand dipped during a visitation Thursday at First Baptist Church in Searcy, according to his obituary. Albert Yarnell’s own favorite flavor was “probably French Vanilla,” his son said.

“He worked very hard to develop that flavor and its characteristics that some of our other vanillas did not have,” he said. “He liked it a lot.”

Survey Created: 6 May 2016 – Survey Ended: 15 July 2016

[Library Advocacy for EU logo]

EBLIDA and the Latvian Library Association are conducted an online survey on non-formal and informal learning activities in public libraries across Europe.

This survey was open for response to all public libraries.

  -   See the survey results

WHAT WAS THE SURVEY ABOUT?

There are 65,000 public libraries in the EU. Many of them offer non-formal and informal learning services and tend to have developed expertise in these matters, though the topic has not yet been studied in depth. As part of the Library Advocacy for EU Project, together with the Latvian Library Association (LLA), we (EBLIDA) are now surveying public libraries to collect data on non-formal and informal learning activities in libraries. We will use the results when advocating on the role of public libraries in non-formal education and the contribution of libraries to the EU Education and Training Strategy 2020.

HOW WAS THE SURVEY PRESENTED?

The survey is divided into 4 parts:

-   Part A focusses on non-formal learning activities through a list of 12 questions;
-   Part B focusses on informal learning activities through a list of 7 questions;
-   Part C focusses on the impact of those activities through a list of 3 questions;
-   Part D requests factual data on your library.

The overall aim of the survey is to collect data and evidence on:

-   Numbers of trained library visitors and numbers of non-formal & informal learning events;
-   Main target groups in non-formal and informal learning activities;
-   Scope of partnerships with third parties in training delivery;
-   Certification of non-formal learning outcomes;
-   Most successful non-formal learning events delivered by public libraries;
-   Impact of non-formal and informal learning activities on citizens and communities.

DAVID MICHAEL VOBORA (born April 8, 1986) is a former American football linebacker. He was drafted by the St. Louis Rams with the final pick (252nd overall) in the 2008 NFL Draft, earning him the title of Mr. Irrelevant. He played college football for the Idaho Vandals of the Western Athletic Conference.

Early years

Vobora is a 2004 graduate of Churchill High School in Eugene, and was the team captain as a junior and senior and played linebacker, quarterback, and running back. He was honorable mention All-Midwestern league quarterback as a senior. He was a second team all-conference linebacker as a junior and an honorable mention all-conference linebacker as a sophomore. He was also an honorable mention basketball player as a senior.

College career

In 45 games at Idaho, Vobora started 33 and ranks sixth in school history with 341 tackles (209 solo), including three sacks, 28 stops for losses. He recovered three fumbles and caused six others. He also intercepted two passes and had five pass deflections. As a senior in 2007, Vobora was All-WAC for the second consecutive season, and led Idaho in tackles with 148 (59 solo) and had a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery. As a junior in 2006, he was first-team All-WAC after leading the Vandals with 134 tackles (101 solo, 33 assists) and 15.5 tackles-for-loss and four passes defensed, two sacks, two forced fumbles, two quarterback hurries and one interception.

St. Louis Rams

On July 22, 2008, Vobora agreed to a three-year, $1.24 million contract with the Rams. After final cuts on August 30, Vobora and Kansas City's Ryan Succop were the only Mr. Irrelevants to make the roster of the team that drafted them in the 2000s.[1] His stay on the roster lasted only one game, as he was waived two days after the season opener to make room for Eddie Kennison on September 9, moved to the Rams' practice squad.[2]

Vobora remained on the Rams' practice squad until November 4, when he was promoted to the active roster after wide receivers Drew Bennett and Dante Hall were placed on injured reserve.[3]

On November 30, Vobora made his first career start at linebacker in the game against the Miami Dolphins. This was the first time a Mr. Irrelevant started in a game during his rookie season in 14 years, not since Marty Moore started four games for the New England Patriots in 1994.[4] Vobora compiled five total tackles in the game, which tied for the second-best effort in team tackles, but the Rams lost 16–12.[5]

Vobora was named the starting strongside linebacker for the 2009 season.[6] On September 30, 2009, he was suspended for four games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy. Vobora stated that he would sue the company that produced the supplement he took, because it contained substances that were not listed on the label. Vobora's agent, Marc Lillibridge, conceded “(The supplement) was not on the list of officially sanctioned products, and ultimately a player is responsible for anything he puts in his body.”[7] On June 20, 2011, Vobora's lawyer announced that a federal judge ruled against the company and awarded Vobora $5.4 million.[8]

The Rams released Vobora on August 12, 2011.[9]

Seattle Seahawks

Vobora signed with the Seattle Seahawks on August 22, 2011,[10] but was waived two weeks later on September 4. He re-signed with Seattle on October 4.[11]

Post League

Upon retiring from the NFL in 2012, David opened Performance Vault Inc. in Dallas, TX, a sports performance training center for elite athletes and U.S. Special Forces.

In September 2014, Vobora founded the Adaptive Training Foundation. ATF is a 501(c)3 non-profit with a mission “to empower the human athlete, restore hope through movement, and redefine the limits of individuals with disabilities.”[12] ATF provides free personalized physical training programs for injured veterans and people living with disabilities. Participants in this nine-week program receive a training regimen that is customized for their fitness goals and specific disabilities.[13]

As a professional speaker, David now speaks to audiences across the country about seeing beyond the daily grind, moving past mediocrity, and tapping into deeper potential.

The world was old, and he was tired. The cliff was not as high as others he had climbed, but it would serve its purpose. Leaning over the edge was enough to assure him of that. The waves crashed relentlessly against the jagged rocks below, leaving an icy mist in their wake. They reminded him of the mountains of Asia and how they seemed to break apart the crust of the earth for the sole purpose of reaching the sun.

His life had been driven by the thirst for discovery, the need to dig his nails into the earth and tear apart its flesh to find what was hidden beneath. He could not remember a point in his history when he had not felt such an urge. He had spent his childhood ducking through the alleyways of his city’s core, peeking into sun-laden rooms of clay only to find a mother baking bread, her leathered hands pressing a quiet pulse into a mound of dough. The familiar sensation of burning muscles followed him through his childhood as he carried himself over the hills towards the sun outside the city walls. His mother often complained of feeling decades older than she should. “Chasing you is a full time job,” she would sigh. “You must learn to sit still.” But the next day, as always, he would forget to gather water in favor of following the stream a few miles further than the day before. When he reached the age of manhood, he ached to escape the confines of his home, to chase the sun until he found that which gave it life.

He dedicated his being to exploration. Education and love were fleeting desires, ultimately disregarded if it meant renouncing his claim on the earth and her secrets. He found work on a ship for little pay, but he gladly exchanged the luxury of money for the lull of his mistress’s gentle waves under a sky splashed with stars.

Through his time on earth, he saw wonders untold from every corner of the globe, grabbing the fruit of life and feeling the juice run down his face in heavy streams. The sands of the east felt rough on his tired skin, yet as soft and warm as the eyes of the elephant in Asia. Never before had he seen so brilliant a sunset as the pool of gold, red, and purple that soaked the northern snow in light. The people were almost as incredible as the places, though none impressed him as much as the dark-haired lady from the tavern in Mexico, who met his eyes and ducked shyly into the shadows. Her tinkling laugh still rang in the back of his mind when the quiet overtook him in the night. “Will you stay with me?” she whispered into his ear, and he nearly did. But the chilled dawn called him from her bed in the morning, and he slipped back onto his ship while she remained tangled in the sheets and memories of his body.

That was years ago, a lifetime it seemed, but he sometimes caught himself wondering if he would have been happier if he had stayed. The years had been good to him - his body remained strong and healthy despite the constant running, fighting, exploring. He could no longer deny, though, that he was slowing. His muscles, sturdy, no longer held the energy of his boyhood. He had begun to run less, choosing instead to walk. He had told himself that he was merely appreciating the scenery. He had rushed through the lush valleys and rocky peaks of his youth, leaving only vague memories of their true magnitude. I’m slowing down to appreciate my earth, he said. But one can only deny the truth for so long before it smashes through even the strongest defenses.

And that was how he ended up here on the cliff, his life teetering in the balance as he rocked back and forth on his calloused feet. He could see his ship aground in the distance. It was pushed onto the sand of the island against a backdrop of dense forest - a forest he would never know. It seemed to him as if this were the last place in the world. He had seen and done all there was, his eyes heavy with the memories of a well-lived life. This island, this piece of the world, was the stitch to heal the aching in his heart; the ache to discover, explore, unearth. To explore this island would be to finish what he started at his first steps. And that was why, he decided, he could not go through with it.

He knew not what the next life held for him. Dead men tell no tales, and he feared that when his time came, his light would be extinguished and he would be left to rot in the dark. To die with passion is a beautiful thing, he told himself, and to die fulfilled is to deny this beauty. That yearning to explore would follow him into the dark if it died with him. He could not bear the burden of knowledge that would come from exploring all there was to explore. This line of thinking led him to the mist-drenched cliff where he currently stood. He came directly to the edge, not allowing himself even the chance to stop and admire the blossoming orange petals that adorned the vines of the trees. There would be time for that after the fact.

As he closed his tired eyes against the blinding sun, the very fibers of his being screamed against it. The pulse of his blood steadily urged him to turn back and find the source of the thick sweet smell in the air. Pineapples, maybe, fallen from the trees and decaying into the sand. But he edged closer still to the drop. To allow this wilderness to keep its secrecy was to tie himself to this earth and its wonders, to comfort himself against the thought that death was silence. He bound himself to the earth through this promise to her. And it was with this last thought that he smiled, sighed, and calmly fell into the waiting arms of his true love.

title: My first ever short story. Looking for feedback.

question: What does the story say about the narrator's travels in Africa?

critique: The response misses to answer the question.

critique: The response misses to mention that the narrator travels to Africa.

critique: The response misses to mention that the narrator traveled to Africa in his lifetime and saw wonders untold.

critique: The response misses to mention that the narrator traveled to Africa.

critique: The response misses to provide an answer to the task.

question: What does the story say about the narrator?

answer: The narrator is a man who is driven by the thirst for discovery. His life has been driven by the need to dig his nails into the earth and tear apart its flesh to find what was hidden beneath. He dedicated his being to exploration. Education and love were fleeting desires, ultimately disregarded if it meant renouncing his claim on the earth and her secrets. He found work on a ship for little pay but he gladly exchanged the luxury of money for the lull of his mistress's gentle waves under a sky splashed with stars. Through his time on earth, he saw wonders untold from every corner of the globe, grabbing the fruit of life and feeling the juice run down his face in heavy streams. He dedicated himself to exploring the world until he had seen and done all there was. He knew not what the next life held for him. He feared that when his time came, his light would be extinguished and he would be left to rot in the dark. To die with passion is a beautiful thing, and to die fulfilled is to deny this beauty. He could not bear the burden of knowledge that would come from exploring all there was to explore. He decided to kill himself.

critique: Explaining that he committed suicide is important, and including that he died of old age is helpful.

question: Why does the narrator want to jump off a cliff?

answer: He is old and tired. He has seen and done all there is. He is afraid that if he dies, his light will be extinguished and he will be left to rot in the dark. He wants to die with passion.

critique: The answer should mention that he wants to die fulfilled.

critique: The answer should mention his yearning to explore.

critique: This is accurate but not the entire reason that he wants to kill himself. It omits his last thought, becoming tied to the earth and its creatures through his plunge.

critique: The narrator is not explicitly identified as the protagonist.

critique: He is not afraid of death, he is afraid of having to rot in the dark.

critique: The answer should mention his desire to explore.

question: What does the story about the island the narrator found himself in?

answer: Probably a romantic ideal of what he would want his world to be - free and beautiful, but also possibly a paradise meant to evoke real feelings of loss for the readers.

critique: This does not explore the story's binaries about the island

critique: The story is not a romantic ideal of what he would want his world to be.

critique: The island is not a romantic ideal of what he would want his world to be.

critique: There's no evidence to suggest that the island is meant to evoke real feelings of loss for the readers.

critique: The island is not a romantic ideal. It is a place of peace and contentment.

History

In the 1830s, Okaika was a Māori village of Te Parawhau hapū. Tiakiriri was the chief.[5] The first Pakeha settlers were Frederick and George Taylor, who were living at Otaika by 1856.[6] More Pākehā settled further up the Okaika Valley around this time. George Edge's wandering geese were sometimes eaten by locals, leading to a nickname for the valley of “Kai-goose”.[7]

The local Toetoe Marae and Toetoe meeting house, located north of the village on the northern shores of the Otaika Stream, is a tribal meeting ground for the Ngāpuhi hapū of Te Parawhau and Te Uriroroi, and the Ngāti Whātua hapū of Te Uriroroi.[8][9]

Of the total population, 270 people (20.2%) were aged up to 15 years, 228 (17.0%) were 15 to 29, 648 (48.4%) were 30 to 64, and 195 (14.6%) were 65 or older. Figures may not add up to the total due to rounding.

Ethnicities were 83.4% European/Pākehā, 30.5% Māori, 3.8% Pacific peoples, 2.0% Asian, and 1.6% other ethnicities. People may identify with more than one ethnicity.

The percentage of people born overseas was 11.2, compared with 27.1% nationally.

Although some people objected to giving their religion, 58.1% had no religion, 27.4% were Christian, and 4.5% had other religions.

Of those at least 15 years old, 138 (12.9%) people had a bachelor or higher degree, and 234 (21.9%) people had no formal qualifications. The median income was $31,200. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 570 (53.4%) people were employed full-time, 159 (14.9%) were part-time, and 36 (3.4%) were unemployed.[10]

Dato' HEE YIT FOONG (; born 4 December 1963) is a Malaysian politician who is infamous for her role in the 2009 Perak constitutional crisis by resigning from the Democratic Action Party (DAP) which she represented in the 2008 Malaysian general election and becoming an independent aligned with the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN). Her dramatic action was seen as an act of betrayal by many in her Jelapang constituency and has earned her unpleasant nicknames from the angry voters and Malaysian public such as 'traitor', 'running dog' and 'leaping frog'.[1][2][3][4]

Background

Hee walks with a limp from a case of polio she contracted at the age of 4.[5] She was state assemblywoman for Jelapang for two terms from 2004 to 2013 and was the first disabled woman to become the speaker of a Malaysian legislative body. She served as Deputy Speaker of the Perak State Legislative Assembly from March 2008 to February 2009. She was a member of the opposition DAP from the late 1980s until her resignation in February 2009 which subsequently caused the 2009 Perak constitutional crisis.[6]

Hee is married to Quay Chin Teik.[7]

Political career

On 4 February 2009, Hee was one of four assembly people who withdrew their support from the incumbent Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government. She announced that she would support the Barisan National coalition instead.[8] This prompted a political crisis in the state.[9]

In an interview with _Sin Chew Daily_, Hee defended her defection on the grounds that she felt sidelined by the leaders of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in her state.[10] The following day, Perak DAP secretary Nga Kor Ming told Sin Chew that DAP not only had groomed her from a largely unknown person into a state assemblywoman, but had also made her the first non-Malay female deputy speaker in the country's history and he would have nothing further to comment if Hee still insisted that her action was right.[11] Some people in her constituency reacted with anger[12] at her defection. Many different objects have been thrown, hung and left at her home and service centre while an effigy of her was also burnt in a mock Chinese funeral rite following her defection and resignation from DAP.[13]

Hee, the first non-Malay woman deputy speaker in Malaysia, was said to have been unhappy with the state party leadership for not being selected for a state exco seat, and because she did not get a new official car when the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government bought Toyota Camrys to replace an ageing fleet of Proton Perdanas.[14][15] On 9 February 2009, _The Malaysian Insider_ reported that Hee, who had been the subject of ridicule and abuse in and around her Ipoh hometown as well as in cyberspace,[16] would be getting the Camry after all.[17]

On 7 March 2009, Hee showed up at her Jelapang service centre for the first time since her defection.[18] Upon learning that she was there, a group of people started hurling abuses at her, such as “traitor who destroyed Pakatan” and “an ungrateful woman”.[19] Hee had to leave the service centre hurriedly after 45 minutes because she feared for her safety.

2013 Malaysian General Elections

Although she claimed that anger against her had dissipated in the years following the Perak constitutional crisis, Hee did not defend her seat in the 2013 Malaysian general election. Hee stated that she hoped the Barisan Nasional (BN) leadership would appoint a local candidate instead, and reaffirmed her support for BN.[20][21]

Honour and award

-   :

    -   [] Knight Commander of the Order of the Perak State Crown (DPMP) - DATO' (2010)

Hee was bestowed Darjah Dato’ Paduka Mahkota Perak (DPMP) that carries the title “Dato'” by the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, on the occasion of his 82nd birthday on 19 April 2010.[22][23] Meanwhile her husband Quay Chin Teik is also a recipient of the Federal Territories award Panglima Mahkota Wilayah (PMW) that carries the title “Datuk” on 1 February 2015.[24]
