POSITRACTION: Backpacks Instead of Flowers

Hundreds of People Bring Backpacks Instead of Flowers to Woman’s Funeral
By McKinley Corbley - Jun 26, 2018

*** begin quote ***

In accordance with one woman’s final wish, there were backpacks lining the pews at her funeral instead of flowers.

Tammy Waddell passed away earlier this month at the age of 58 from a prolonged illness at Northside Hospital-Forsyth in Georgia, but before she died, she asked for people to bring backpacks filled with school supplies to her funeral.

Waddell worked as a paraprofessional and teacher at several schools in the Forsyth County school district. At one point in her 30-year career, she was even recognized as Teacher of the Year.

*** and ***

“My cousin, a teacher, wanted backpacks with supplies brought to her funeral instead of flowers for needy students,” Brad Johnson said on Twitter. “Serving others to the end.”

*** end quote ***

Great idea.  A little hard on the floral industry, but good for the children who will benefit.

Advanced Ball Screws

Ball screw technology is one of the most common linear-motion drives due to its low cost and reliability. Even as a staple of the motion control world, there are still tricks of the trade that help engineers navigate ball screw use and design. The following E-Book will help design engineers and system integrators to properly maintain their ball screws, understand the acceptable noise levels that can be produced prior to repair, define the erratic pitch that occurs within ball screws, and investigate design advantages from internal ball returns.

Edward J. D'Alba
MAY 23, 1927 – JULY 1, 2018

D’Alba, Edward J. Of Radnor passed away peacefully on July 1 following a fall in his home earlier in the week.

He was 91. “EJ” as he was known to his co-workers at Urban Engineers, from which he retired in 1999, personified the work ethic and values of the company he cofounded with two others in 1960. He took tremendous pride in the projects he engineered in NJ, NY and PA which included the New York State Thruway, Garden State Parkway, New Jersey Turnpike, Blue Route, the Center City Commuter Tunnel and the Phase IIA Expansion program at Philadelphia international Airport, where the architectural community nick named him the “Roads Scholar.” It was a title that only told a part of the story, for he had a passion for bridge design, aviation facilities and structures small and large. For “EJ” the role of the engineer was not limited to the calculations to satisfy the functional and structural requirements of the project. He instilled in all that he worked with, and for, the need to consider the aesthetics of all elements of the work. More often than not, he succeeded in that endeavor, showcasing the creative side of his mind, an extraordinary balance of structure and creativity. He was an artist, often sketching what needed to be done with the skill of an architect.

He wrote poetry, verse, and captured the stories of the folks he knew and loved in a collection of “Thoughts – Poems and Remembrances” which will be shared by his family for generations. For Ed the best 15 years of his life were shared with his wife Carolyn (nee Stout) whom he appropriately met at a Valentine’s Day Party. They loved to travel to Europe and shared what they discovered with friends and family and set up wonderful itinerary for others to follow. She predeceased him in 1991.

The company he founded continues to expand, having gone from an organization of seven in 1960 to 450 today, having been led by a team he mentored, which included his nephew Edward M. D’Alba, Urban is now an employee owned company under its third generation of leadership, with 15 offices in 8 states.

He loved sports and excelled in baseball. His high school coach declared, 25 years after Ed’s graduation that “lefty” was the best first baseman he had ever coached.” He joined the Navy right after high school, and was aboard the first ship that landed in Wakayama and Nagoya, Japan thus witnessing firsthand the destruction of the bombings that ended the war.

He was a graduate of Manhattan College. In a writing titled “Me” (A brief autobiography) of seven pages he closes with, “When the final score is tallied, it is my fervent wish that they will say that I played the game of life well.” He did!

He is survived by several nephews, nieces, grandnephews and grandnieces, having been very close to the families of Carolyn and Geoff Hill, Edward and Karen D’Alba. He will be remembered by family as Uncle Ted, Uncle Ed, and by all else as EJ, Lefty, and of course the “Roads Scholar.” A celebration of his life will be held at Waynesboro Country Club, Paoli. PA at 11:30 am on July 12th. In lieu of flowers contributions to The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society or the Radnor Conservancy would be appreciated.

McGRATH, Ryan M. Beloved son of Mimi and Tod McGrath, passed away on July 3, 2018 at the age of 29. Ryan leaves behind his beloved brother Mike who he was so proud of, and Mike's girlfriend Lesley Johnson who he admired greatly. He also leaves behind 18 aunts and uncles, 25 cousins, 9 great aunts and uncles, a maternal grandmother, and his paternal grandfather who he so loved to spend time with watching sports and talking politics.

Ryan was strong, kind, polite, generous, and engaging. He was a thinker who had a wonderfully clever sense of humor and a keen memory that his mother always relied on. Ryan was a peacemaker; he was always interested in what others had to say, took care to see that others were comfortable, and helped those who he thought were being discriminated against. Ryan loved playing basketball, playing the guitar, watching our Boston sports teams, and listening to music, particularly classic hip-hop. He was proud of his dual careers in commercial real estate and national and international event promotion for classic hip-hop artists. Ryan was a loyal friend to his friends from Hingham and Manhattan College, and his colleagues from MIT. Most importantly, Ryan would always tell us that he loved us, and he was openly thankful for all he felt he was blessed with. His love for spending time with his big extended family and the love he had for his dogs graced us all. Ryan, you are loved by everyone you loved and will be forever missed. You've made us so proud to have you as our son and brother. Until we meet up again, there is comfort to know that you'll be resting in God's peace. Love you Rhino.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday in Church of the Resurrection, Hingham at 10 AM. Burial in St. Paul's Cemetery, Hingham. See www.Keohane.com or call 1-800-Keohane for directions and online condolences.

Shocking moment flash-bang grenade is thrown into right-wing Patriot Prayer rally igniting violent clashes with Antifa in Portland

Four were arrested after violent clashes between Patriot Prayer and Antifa in Portland on Saturday
Pro-Trump group said it organized the 'free speech' march to protest police failing to protect its events
Antifa call the group racist and were seen throwing objects before a melee broke out between the sides
Police revoked the marchers' permit after the riot broke out and confiscated a number of weapons

*** begin quote ***

This is the moment a flash-bang grenade appears to go off amid a Patriot Prayer march in Portland, seconds before a melee between the right-wing group and Antifa.

Four people were arrested amid the violence on Saturday, which broke out when the pro-Trump group's scheduled march encountered an opposing group associated with a second nearby rally.

*** end quote ***

Violence is never acceptable. 

I notice that both sides had their faces masked.  That’s a feature of the KKK?

Argh!
