Описание:
Humble Hero reveals my father's unusual life of survival. The story of Charles R. (Dinky) Joyner reveals his time as an orphan, street ruffian, lover, and unlikely war survivor and hero. He was the youngest of five children born to Lemuel Joyner and Annie Culpepper in the naval town of Portsmouth Virginia. His mother died when he was a toddler and his father suffered permanent brain injuries from a severe beating. Adopted by his maternal grandparents, the children were quickly dispatched to orphanages. Charles quickly learned the necessity of fighting other boys at Saint Vincent's and Saint Mary's. During these years, despite his small size, he grew into a scrappy fighter.
Returning to his grandparents' home he and his brothers were housed in a drafty garage through his teenage years. Charles soon became involved in the mischief of local street gangs and quickly rose to a role of leadership. After several close encounters with crime and the police, his grandmother pulled him out of Saint Joseph's Academy in his second year of high school. Insisting he needed to make money to support the household. After several low paying jobs, his grandparents enrolled him in The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC's). After this rough and tumble experience and seventeen years old he returned to his garage home. By this time, he was convinced life was a "dog eat dog" world and he was now a man. Next, he landed a job at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and moved out of the garage.
Through his late teens and early twenties, he continued a life which included "easy" girls, liquor, and association with street thugs. His life turned when he met Catherine Lee Williams and faced military service. He was married in May of 1941 and within two weeks went off to the Army. In the military he was used as a light truck driver and was shipped to the Philippines in the Fall of 1941. Within weeks, the Japanese bombed his posts at Clark and Del Carmen airfields and quickly mounted an aggressive assault of the Islands. With others he was ordered to the Bataan Peninsula where he became a combatant. When American Forces surrendered, he among thousands of other Filipino and American "Battling Bastards of Bataan," began the infamous nine-day Bataan Death March. During this grueling ordeal he witnessed incredible scenes of suffering and death and began to regain his Christianity. He was imprisoned less than two weeks at Camp O'Donnell before he and several buddies were chosen to be human pack animals. Their job was to haul huge boxes and bails of supplies to enemy outposts deep in the mountains and jungles of Luzon. After several grueling weeks he and three buddies boldly escaped this detail into the Philippine outback.
Charles and his comrades became guerrilla fighters until a betrayal caused his war buddy, Tom Pasquel, recapture by enemy forces. Alone, he wandered until he entered a barrio of headhunters who wanted to take his head. A lone villager, Matias Badang, argued to save his life and hid Charles in the remote mountains. There he lived in isolation for over a year and learned the primitive skills of surviving in the wild. Also, he began suffering the effects of tropical diseases and hazards of dangerous wild animals. When the enemy retreated the local area, Charles rejoined guerrilla forces and received field promotions before medical evacuation. Back home he was hailed a survivor and hero. In his new life he embraced family, faith, and flag forever more.

Описание: A fundamental but often ignored absolute for managing and improving quality is that "Quality has more to do with people than things." This is central to what Jim Joyner calls Complete Quality; the kind of quality that encompasses your entire organization, engages people at all levels, is proactive, and can stand up to the tyranny of the urgent. QUALITY STILL WORKS introduces five timeless principles of Quality that will help you create a process that can inspire your employees towards excellence, invigorate your business, drive out waste, please your customers, and improve the culture of your workplace and the bottom line.In fact, organizations that master quality by applying these principles can generate positive changes that lead to greater employee satisfaction, better teamwork, gains in productivity, customer loyalty, and improved financial performance. This book will teach you about Complete Quality and how to apply it to any kind of endeavor; it's about fundamental leadership. The ten chapters are a collection of essays and lessons on quality and the actions required to deal with its complexities. The purpose of this book is to first of all persuade those who are looking for ideas on how to improve their organizations that Complete Quality is an intelligent alternative. The second purpose is to provide those already in to formal quality initiatives with some practical ideas for further progress. The target audience for QUALITY STILL WORKS is both broad and deep. It is broad in the sense that application of the lessons crosses all industries, including service, retail, healthcare, hospitality, education, sports, government, for profit and not for profit, and manufacturing. It is deep in that it will feel like it's speaking to all levels of employees, especially leadership and management.The ten chapters are a blend of facts, sprinkled with personal opinions and topped with a number of anecdotes. While each chapter addresses a separate aspect of Quality they all share a common theme - Quality is integral to the success of any activity, task, project, job, and ultimately the enterprise. The critical element is organizational integrity that is built upon five timeless principles. The goal is to help you change the culture of your organization so that Quality becomes innate; you can think of it as a kind of organizational reformation.Without a doubt there have been meaningful gains in the performance and reliability of products, thanks in part to advances in technology along with innovations in designs and materials. New models of service excellence have also arisen in sectors such as retail, healthcare, hospitality and others. However, the struggle for Complete Quality - the kind that is innate and will not be compromised or altered by the tyranny of the urgent - is still hard to achieve and even more difficult to sustain. Perhaps an idea or two hidden within the pages of this book will provide the insight or encouragement needed to help plant the seeds of a Quality reformation in your organization; a reformation built on timeless principles of Quality, challenges conventional wisdom and leads to perpetual improvement.
Popular author F. Belton Joyner has revised his best-selling resource for introducing the United Methodist Church. In a humorous yet respectful style, Joyner takes the reader through illuminating questions and answers on United Methodist terms and beliefs on God, Jesus, the Bible, the church, salvation, and more. Examples of Joyner�s questions include �Why did Jesus have to die?� �Who was John Wesley, and who were all those other figures?� �Is the Bible infallible?� �What is The Book of Discipline?� This revised edition includes new sections on United Methodism as a global church, United Methodist ministries beyond the congregation, and United Methodist theology in conversation with other Christian traditions. It has also been updated to reflect recent changes to The Book of Discipline and the orders of ministry. The book�s question-and-answer format easily lends itself to use in Sunday school classes and also works for individual study. From new recruits to lifelong United Methodists, readers will gain a lively sense of what is special and important about their denominational home.

Описание:
It's like a sketch diary, a quirky pencil sketch comic based on events in the life of the author. From army wife to geek life, cats and beyond. They're sloppily drawn, they're funny, and they're (exaggerated) true stories.
