    A CLUSTER OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES A bud the Gardener gave us, A cluster of precious memories A pure and lovely child. Sprayed with a million tears He gave it to our keeping Wishing God had spared you If only for a few more years. To cherish undefiled; You left a special memory And just as it was opening And a sorrow too great to hold, To the glory of the day, To us who loved and lost you Down came the Heavenly Father Your memory will never grow old. Thanks for the years we had, And took our bud away. Thanks for the memories we shared. We only prayed that when you left us That you knew how much we cared. 1 2 AFTERGLOW A Heart of Gold I’d like the memory of me A heart of gold stopped beating to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow Working hands at rest of smiles when life is done. God broke our hearts to prove to us I’d like to leave an echo He only takes the best whispering softly down the ways, Leaves and flowers may wither Of happy times and laughing times The golden sun may set and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve But the hearts that loved you dearly to dry before too long, Are the ones that won’t forget. And cherish those very special memories to which I belong. 4 3 ALL IS WELL A LIFE – WELL LIVED Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.

  • Identifying and Defining Relationships: Techniques for Improving Student Systemic Thinking
    AC 2011-897: IDENTIFYING AND DEFINING RELATIONSHIPS: TECH- NIQUES FOR IMPROVING STUDENT SYSTEMIC THINKING Cecelia M. Wigal, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga Cecelia M. Wigal received her Ph.D. in 1998 from Northwestern University and is presently a Professor of Engineering and Assistant Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). Her primary areas of interest and expertise include complex process and system analysis, process improvement analysis, and information system analysis with respect to usability and effectiveness. Dr. Wigal is also interested in engineering education reform to address present and future student and national and international needs. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Identifying and Defining Relationships: Techniques for Improving Student Systemic Thinking Abstract ABET, Inc. is looking for graduating undergraduate engineering students who are systems thinkers. However, genuine systems thinking is contrary to the traditional practice of using linear thinking to help solve design problems often used by students and many practitioners. Linear thinking has a tendency to compartmentalize solution options and minimize recognition of relationships between solutions and their elements. Systems thinking, however, has the ability to define the whole system, including its environment, objectives, and parts (subsystems), both static and dynamic, by their relationships. The work discussed here describes two means of introducing freshman engineering students to thinking systemically or holistically when understanding and defining problems. Specifically, the modeling techniques of Rich Pictures and an instructor generated modified IDEF0 model are discussed. These techniques have roles in many applications. In this case they are discussed in regards to their application to the design process.

  • Lower Shore Clinic Richard Bearman, Clinic Director; Tuesday Trott, Clinic Administrator
    Lower Shore Clinic Richard Bearman, Clinic Director; Tuesday Trott, Clinic Administrator Dedicated to serving the public, and particularly those without access to affordable and effective health care, Lower Shore Clinic maintains its commitment to the welfare of the people on the Lower Eastern Shore. This community based outpatient clinic exists to provide effective, integrated, and affordable mental health and primary care to people whose lack of means would otherwise prevent them from having any. No one is denied services for inability to pay. Lower Shore Clinic began operations in late 1999. The Wicomico public mental health clinic was originally operated by the County Health Department until 1997 when Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) took over for two and a half years. PRMC concluded that it could not afford to sustain the staggering financial losses operating the clinic entailed for it and the Wicomico County Health Officer asked Go-Getters, a community based psychiatric rehabilitation program, to step in. Lower Shore Clinic, an independent corporation, was founded and was granted an operating license. In early 2000, all 450 clients who wished to continue treatment and all therapists from the PRMC clinic were transferred seamlessly to Lower Shore Clinic. The clinic provides psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who offer pharmacotherapy (medication) and therapists (nurses, social workers and counselors) who offer group and individual psychotherapy to assist people recovering from debilitating mental illness to live, work and play successfully in the larger community. Now, after twelve years as a mental health practice, Lower Shore Clinic added primary care in 2012, initially for its existing clients, but opening to the larger community in mid-2013.

Project quality management (QM) is not a separate, independent process that occurs at the end of an activity to measure the level of quality of the output. It is not purchasing the most expensive material or services available on the market. Quality and grade are not the same, grade are characteristics of a material or service such as additional features. A product may be of good quality (no defects) and be of low grade (few or no extra features). Quality management is a continuous process that starts and ends with the project. It is more about preventing and avoiding than measuring and fixing poor quality outputs. It is part of every project management processes from the moment the project initiates to the final steps in the project closure phase.

As he tightens the enclosures at the back, a VOICE speaks from everywhere and nowhere, soothing and surreal: VOX Good morning, Dr. Jenner. JENNER Good morning, Vox. VOX How are you feeling this morning? JENNER A bit restless, I have to admit, Vox. A bit...well...off my game. Somewhat off-kilter. VOX That's understandable. JENNER Is it? I suppose it is.

  • Do-Gooders and Go-Getters: Selection and Performance in Public Service
    DO-GOODERS AND GO-GETTERS: SELECTION AND PERFORMANCE IN PUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERYú Nava Ashraf Oriana Bandiera Scott S. Lee June 12, 2016 Abstract State capacity to provide public services depends on the motivation of the agents recruited to deliver them. We design an experiment to quantify the effect of agent selection on service effectiveness. The experiment, embedded in a nationwide recruitment drive for a new govern- ment health position in Zambia, shows that agents attracted to a civil service career have more skills and ambition than those attracted to “doing good”. Data from a mobile platform, ad- ministrative records, and household surveys show that they deliver more services, change health practices, and produce better health outcomes in the communities they serve.
