...“This is the word of the LORD: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts” Integrity Produces Excellence This morning I will share how integrity produces a life of excellence. Remember to project your voice Open In Prayer Father I pray that as I share today your word will bring revelation to our lives. AMEN Opening Today we continue with the subject of Honesty and Integrity. Ps John has shared on Honesty is the only policy reasons we lie and facing the consequences. Last week he also spoke on Integrity today I will share on how integrity in our lives produces a life of excellence. 1. God loves a person that holds fast to their integrity Job 2:3 says: Then the LORD said to satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause." We can see in this scripture that God loves a person that holds fast to their integrity so much that He boasts to satan that Job is a man of integrity and he holds fast to it. Remember to project your voice Today I would like to ask you, are you a person that holds onto your integrity when difficult times comes? Integrity is defined in the Webster’s dictionary as: Integrity comprises the personal inner sense of "wholeness" deriving from honesty and consistent uprightness of character...

...says ‘some say you are the mayor of Chicago’. We also learn that Capone has a criminal background when he openly admits that he is a business man who took advantage of prohibition. Ness was introduced in his home with his wife the mise-en-scene again reflects the twenties when you see his furniture and clothing. He was wearing a suit with a vest and eventually a brim hat as well which accurately captures the apparel worn in the twenties. Elliott Ness is introduced as a caring individual disgusted by the rising crime in Chicago. It is easily seen that he is not corrupt and wants to clean up the streets of Chicago. Malone was introduced on a bridge passing by and confronting Elliott for littering. The police uniform worn by Malone was old fashioned especially the hat he wore, he also carried a wooden baton like the police used to carry in the early nineteen-hundreds. A low angle shot is used when you see Ness on the bridge at first but then it merges into an equal level shot once Ness and Malone begin conversing. The use of rack focus is a good example of a moving camera shot. This can be seen when Ness is confronting Malone on the bridge after a comment Malone made about littering. The camera shot was moving with the two and was focusing on Malone when he was talking and then refocusing on Ness when he was talking. This was done to emphasize who was speaking and to draw more attention to a specific...

...MILLERSBURG —A Millersburg area man on Monday admitted to possessing, but not sharing, child pornography, reducing him maximum possible sentence from 24 year to six years in prison. Arlin Schlabach. 49, 6061 State Route 241, Millersburg, pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to four counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor. The charges, all fourth-degree felonies, each carry a potential of up to 18 months in prison. In exchange for his guilty plea, the state agreed to dismiss two counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor, one count of attempted two counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor and two counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. There was no agreement as to sentencing; however, Holmes County Prosecutor Sean Warner said he will argue for a prison term. Schlabach also faces fines of up to $30,000. Also to be considered at sentencing on Jan. 25 will be a sex offender assessment, to be completed on order of the court. Schlabach kept his head bowed as Warner outlined the case for Judge Robert Rinfret, who asked Schlabach if he, in fact, realized the children in the videos he downloaded, “may have been as young as 5 years old.” Warner said he offered the plea because it was unknown if Schlabach knowingly shared or published any of the downloaded images, although consent would have been included in his agreement to participate in file sharing. A guilty plea, he said, provided an opportunity to argue for incarceration...

...in the Scottish Highlands that Loch Ness is home to a mysterious aquatic animal. When the Romans first came to northern Scotland in the first century A.D., they found the Highlands occupied by fierce, tattoo-covered tribes called the Picts, or painted people. The Picts were amazed by all the animals and took great care in drawing them. All of the animals they drew are easily recognizable… except for one, which has attained a mythical status. It’s a very strange animal with an elongated beak or muzzle, a head locket or spout, and fins instead of feet. In Scottish folklore, large animals are mostly associated with bodies of water, from small streams to the largest lakes. These “water-horses”...

...homelessness are people just like us. They desire financial stability and a secure home, but have confronted difficult circumstances without sufficient resources to overcome the situation and remain housed. Unfortunately, that is the reality of homelessness today. Typically, families become homeless as a result of some unforeseen financial crisis - a medical emergency, a car accident, a death in the family - that prevents them from being able to hold on to housing. Most homeless families are able to bounce back from homelessness quickly, with relatively little public assistance. Usually, homeless families require rent assistance, housing placement services, job assistance, and other short-term, one-time services before being able to return to independence and stability. In the case study, "Mayor Schell's Zero Homeless Family Pledge", Norton discusses the challenges facing a policy manager in a large city (Seattle) government agency who is expected to implement a bold new policy to reduce homelessness that may exceed the local government's capacity to address the issue. In the case, the mayor of Seattle pledges in June that there will be no homeless families with children or homeless women by Christmas. The manager in the case, Alan Painter, shares the mayor's commitment and enthusiasm for reducing homelessness in the city, but has many concerns about the feasibility of the mayor's pledge. Painter knows the current...

...Kip Tiernan: A Leader in the Fight Against Homelessness Homelessness can be defined as an individual lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence (McKinney-Veto Homeless Education Act, Section 725). Because homelessness can be a short or long-term problem, it is difficult to accurately calculate homeless figures. The National Alliance to End Homelessness estimates that there are 634,067 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in the United States. This includes people of all genders, ages, races, and backgrounds. According to the Campaign to End Child Homelessness, 1.6 million children experience homelessness annually (2012). In total, approximately 3 million individuals are experiencing homelessness each year (National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty). Homelessness is a problem that is very personal. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, and veterans are being affected. We must come together as a society to work toward combating this problem. Kip Tiernan was an inspiring leader in the fight against homelessness. Her greatest accomplishment was founding Rosie’s Place, the first homeless shelter for women. Kip Tiernan was born on June 17, 1926 in West Haven, CT. She was raised by her grandmother after her parents passed away when she was still a child. She got expelled from boarding school in the 1930s for consumption of alcohol. In 1947, she moved to Boston to study jazz at Boston Conservatory. Unfortunately, she again got expelled...

...tattered clothes, unshaven beard, an unseen smell that comes from them. Homeless people have existed throughout history of the United States. However, more recently, it would seem that the numbers have risen since the economy is not doing so well. Within this paper, the model population homeless person will be discussed along with statistical information in Georgia, service outcome goals, pinball program to teach the goals that include to community organizations, internalized cost estimate of healthcare dollars saved by this program, and to potential funding sources that may potentially provide monetary sponsorship. According to the declaration of human rights, article 25 (1), states that “everyone has the right to… food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services” (Donohoe, 2004). Although, it states right there that it is every person’s right to have access to these necessities, this is not always the case for many who for whatever reason, do not have the means to afford them. The current downturn of the economy next with current unemployment situation has led to force many people into homeless situations. But time homelessness “refers to the condition of individuals without a regular dwelling and the term is used to describe people who do not have the home and who sleep on the street, but is also commonly used to refer to individuals whose primary nighttime residence is a homeless shelter, a warning center, or another ad hov type of housing”...

...Deborah Mager Dr. Bliss Engl. 101 11/22/11 Homelessness Plan There are so many children who are homeless each year with their families. Lucy Smith is one such child. She lives in a car with her mother after they lost their home. This past August, when the back to school lists came out, her mother couldn’t even afford to get her all the supplies she needs. Children at school make fun of her for being homeless and Lucy’s teacher kept asking her where her supplies were. Every morning, they go into a store to use the bathroom to get ready for the day. At least three nights a week, they try and go to a friend’s house to take a shower and wash their clothes. Her mother is looking for a job, but it’s hard to get hired when they don’t always have the cleanest clothes and an address. Lucy is just one child affected by homelessness, but there are many more, just like her. Unemployment is a major factor in homeless families ending up on the streets. The U.S Department of Labor claims that in 2010 there were at least 9.8 million families with an unemployed member. When the economy crashed, many people lost their jobs or received reduced hours. For many families, that caused them to get behind in paying rent or the mortgage. It was especially bad for the minimum wage workers who were already on the verge of homelessness before they lost their jobs. Another problem contributing to homelessness is the mortgage crisis. A Medill School report found that in October 2007, Illinois ranked...

...natives it is a struggle to find food or even a bed for the night. Believe it or not the Aloha state has one of the highest homeless rates for their population among the other fifty states. The governor has signed an emergency proclamation to tackle the problem of homelessness in the state. He said that this should give those individuals and families some hope for the future, and give them a faster route to finding a home. The governor also said that even though emergency proclamations are usually signed for natural disasters or statewide epidemics this should be considered one of those because of all the people it includes. The last things that were mentioned was that this plan is estimated to cost one point three million dollars and intends to provide permeate housing very soon.

...In Allegheny County, homelessness has been an ongoing issue in need of attention. Each year the Continuum of Care (CoC) program assists in providing point-in-time (PIT) data to the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding the demographics of the homeless population throughout the country. People become homeless for a number of reasons. Primarily homelessness is due to a lack of funds. Homelessness can also be attributed to severe mental illness and chronic substance abuse. In the United States, 20-25% of the population is affected by some form of severe mental illness. People affected with mental illness are more likely to become homeless than the general population. Mental Illness can disrupt a person’s ability to carry out essential daily tasks of living, such as self care and household management. Mental illness can inhibit...

...of Veterans Day (n.d.), Armistice Day was started at the end of World War I. Then twenty-eight years later, the name of this holiday changes to Veterans Day to honor all of the veterans who fought in any war. After that, some programs were created to support those veterans. The US Department of Veterans Affairs (2015) said that the purpose of this department is to create programs to help veterans with their needs. Some of these programs provide good benefits for veterans such as health care, disability compensation, and the opportunity to find jobs. Those programs were not enough to support the basic needs of all veterans. According to Farley (2010), many veterans did not receive any rewards from those programs. As a result, some became homeless and many developed mental disorders. Homelessness is one of the major problems faced by veterans. The main reason that increases the possibility of homelessness is the social status. Ghose, Gordon, Adam, Metraux, Stephen, Kristin, and Amy (2015) found that most of the homelessness veterans did not have a higher education. If they do not have experience in any occupation, it is difficult for them to find a job to live as a normal person. However, most of them consume drugs, alcohol, and get sex with strangers for money when they become homelessness. In addition, age is an important factor that increases the possibility of homelessness. According to Clegg, Daigh, Culhane, and Kane (2013), veterans have a higher risk of homelessness when...
