Alyn Smith MEP and the SNP's Christina McKelvie have highlighted an independent legal opinion commissioned by the Trade Union Council (TUC) that lists the workers' rights most at risk in the event of Brexit.
Michael Ford QC's legal opinion suggests that, based on past history and extant policy documents, the rights most vulnerable to repeal are limits on working hours, protections for agency and part-time workers, and the right to collective consultation, including the right for workers' representatives to be consulted if major changes are planned that will result in redundancies.
Workers would no longer be able to seek redress from the European Court of Justice (ECJ), regardless of whether the UK Government retained EU-guaranteed worker protections.
Alyn, a co-signatory to the European Trade Union Confederation's campaign to promote trade union rights as human rights, said:
"Scotland has a long history of brave, groundbreaking trade unionism and collective action, where people fought to gain rights that would protect us all in the workplace.
"As a lawyer to trade myself, I think this is a tremendously important piece of work from Michael Ford QC. Just because a UK government outside the EU could keep the same rights, doesn't mean it would. Meanwhile, workers would have a sword of Damocles over their heads the entire time, with no redress from the ECJ.
"The EU has long been an ally for Scotland in our struggle to protect workers' rights. I hope that we can continue to work with our partners across the continent long into the future."
Christina McKelvie, Convenor of the SNP Parliamentary Trade Union Group, added:
"The Conservative Government's relentless attacks on trade unions leaves us in no doubt that there are those rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of dissolving our hard-won rights.
"The SNP will continue to oppose the UK Government's spiteful Trade Union Bill and to support workers' rights every step of the way."

Halloween is over, and November is in full swing. That means trick-or-treating is done, the leftover candy is all yours, and all activities will start to move indoors. You might think that November is pretty much just like October, only with fewer zombies and a lot more turkey. But November comes with its own rules here in Denver, many that have nothing to do with cranberries, stuffing or flightless birds. The responsibilities of November are more than just Thanksgiving — especially in these ten ways.
10. Throw Away Your Jack-o-Lanterns
Just because pumpkins are still in season doesn't mean you get to let those suckers rot on your front porch. Don't kid yourself: You're not "feeding the squirrels," despite what you may tell your spouse. It's not a long walk from your front porch to your dumpster in the alley, but it's going to feel a lot longer when those caved-in ghosts of Halloween past are frozen and weigh about six times what they normally would. If you still have produce on your porch by the Saturday after Halloween (that's a generous five days this year), you're not doing November right.
9. Jackets Required
Sorry, Phil Collins: I hate to correct you and your 1985 album, but November in Denver demands some outerwear. Put away the flip-flops and get out the galoshes. November isn't always wet and rainy, but it can be — and the only way to prepare for the weather in Colorado is to over-prepare.
8. Last Month for Street Sweeping
Those signs along the road that you often forget — you know, the ones that tell you that you need to move your car once a month by 8 a.m. or else it'll fuck up your day? This is the last time you need to remember that until street-sweeping resumes in April. Which is great, except this short break is exactly why your brain again won't remember to move your car next spring.

7. Football + Chili = Sunday
This is Broncos country; other than Sunday, November 20, which is the Denver bye, it's actually a city ordinance that you're either present at Mile High or watching the game at a bar or at home. It's also part of the ordinance that some chili is made either during or prior to the game, whether it be green chile or the more traditional version. The ordinance is pretty lenient: Chili/e can be prepared in any manner, made with beans or without, and served with either tortillas or oyster crackers. I believe this law was passed during the Elway administration.
6. Start Watching Local News
No, you don't want to schedule time for the latest 10 p.m. local murder parade, but starting in November, you need to tune in, if only to watch the weather for snow totals in the mountains. As a side benefit, these newscasts will remind you to blow out your sprinklers, disconnect your hoses and complain about snowy patio pictures. So being reminded about all the citywide violence is a small price to pay.
Keep reading for five more tips for transplants.
5. Stop Tanning
If Donald Trump has taught us anything, it's that you can indeed be too tan. Or at least orange. By November, there's not enough sun or warmth to pretend that anyone's getting a natural shade. Besides, you have to get pale enough to make that goggle-shaped ski-burn really stand out once you hit the slopes and want people to notice.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to Westword's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Denver's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
4. Raise the Flag
Remember: Flying the flag is a start, not a substitute. Veterans Day honors the sacrifice of our military men and women now and through history, and you can participate in any number of ways. Don't just spend your day off watching Dr. Phil and Judge Judy. Devote that time to something of substance. If recognizing Veterans Day was as easy as eating Cap'n Crunch with Gomer Pyle USMC on the TV as you play with your army of GI Joe action figures, then every day would be Veterans Day, you know? And knowing is half the battle.
3. Clean Out Your Garage
Because a) summertime is over and the livin' is no longer easy, and b) you'll want to get your car in there before the snows really hit. You'll thank me on that cold morning in the deep of winter as you pull out of your garage, nice and toasty warm, and wave generously to your neighbor, who waves back forlornly while digging his car out from under the icy snow. He'll politely wait until you happily drive off, then flip you the frozen bird.
2. Abide the Facial Hair and Novel Writers
Movember. NaNoWriMo. Chances are about 100 percent that you know someone who shouldn't be attempting facial hair suddenly refusing to shave, or someone who has to get home directly after work to "get their pages in." Fortunately, both are good for something: Movember benefits research and prevention of prostate and testicular cancers as well as mental-health issues and suicide; NaNoWriMo primarily supports a renewed appreciation for actual novelists.
1. Vote
Because this year, that line about "this might be the most important election of our lifetime"? No shit.

How to Prevent Harassment in the Workplace
Workplace harassment is behavior, conduct, actions and statements made to or about an individual or a group of individuals, which creates an uncomfortable work environment for the targeted persons and those offended but not directly targeted. Anti-discrimination laws address harassment in regulations that prohibit discriminatory employment practices. A hostile work environment is a tandem allegation usually claimed when an employee complains of harassment. Through effective and comprehensive training methods, employers can eliminate and prevent harassment. Companies that invest in training to prevent harassment demonstrate their concern for providing a safe working environment for their employees.
Write a policy that describes different forms of harassment and, if possible, provide scenarios to further explain what happens when unwelcome conduct becomes harassment. Many employers purchase videos that depict workplace harassment; however, you can construct a policy statement that conveys the same message contained in a training film. If you decide to use a training film, ask for sample videos that are up-to-date and relevant to your business or industry.
Call your company's attorney for professional legal advice on your written policy; ask her to review the policy for completeness and to ensure the policy clearly defines harassment in accordance with federal, state and local employment laws. You may also contact your regional or district office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for technical guidance on preparing anti-harassment policy statements. The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is one of the laws that prohibit discriminatory employment practices.
Speak to your human resources department training specialist about developing a training session that specifically addresses workplace harassment. The training should be appropriate for all levels of employees from hourly to salary, and from frontline workers to executive leadership. Take-aways or written policy statements impact how much information is retained; distribute copies of your company's anti-harassment policy.
Include in the training session your company procedure for reporting, investigating and resolving harassment complaints. The typical process is for the employee to first address the issue with his supervisor, then his manager. If he is uncomfortable discussing the subject with his supervisor or manager, the employee should then visit your company's employee relations specialist or another human resources specialist.
Act immediately to investigate complaints of harassment. These matters are within the purview of your employee relations specialist. Several litigated harassment claims include allegations that the employer sat on a complaint without fully investigating it. Remind all training session attendees that investigations require full cooperation from the employee, the alleged harasser and any witnesses to the alleged harassment.
Announce schedules for mandatory attendance at these training sessions. If you have employees who work varied shifts or outside normal business hours, arrange training sessions to accommodate their schedules. If employees who fall into this category attend training during non-work hours, remind them that it is mandatory, paid training.
Revise your employee handbook to include your company's position on workplace harassment. Best practices in the human resources professional community suggest that policy statements be revised periodically. Ensure the policy is always consistent with employment laws and applicable legislative changes. If your anti-harassment policy statement was not previously a part of your employee handbook, produce new handbooks and distribute them to your entire work force.
Make your human resources department available to answer any questions employees have about the training or incidents of harassment. Update and reissue the policy statement every year, and provide training every year. Obtain a signed acknowledgment form from every attendee indicating she understands the company policy against harassment and file signed acknowledgments in employment files stored in the human resources department.
- Inform employees that if they fail to attend mandatory training that they are subject to discipline, up to and including, termination.

Haiti: Hurricane Matthew - Situation Report No. 23 (19 November 2016)
This report is produced by OCHA in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It was issued by the Hurricane Matthew Emergency Response Team and covers the period from 16 to 19 November 2016. The next report will be issued on 22 November. Sign up to receive reports of the Emergency Response Team: http://eepurl.com/Kyey5
Main Points
Tensions increased in Les Cayes over threats of evictions of families temporarily sheltering in schools. Humanitarian partners developed contingency plans to address protection needs.
From 8 October to 18 November, 590,000 people received food assistance, representing 73 per cent of the 806,000 people at extreme food insecurity in the affected areas.
Funding for the three-month Flash Appeal has increased by six per cent during this reporting period. Some US$56 million is still required.
The possibility of a tropical depression forming in the southern Caribbean Sea over the next five days brings the risk of heavy rains in southern Haiti.

Situation Overview
The need to ensure that students return to school at the earliest opportunity is complicated by the use of an estimated 86 schools as shelters. The issue of eviction of families temporarily sheltered in schools has been at the centre of the work of humanitarian organizations in affected areas. As indicated in the previous Situation Report, students and local authorities have increased the pressure on families to leave a number of schools. Despite working closely with governmental counterparts to resolve this issue, local authorities have begun forcibly evicting people from some of the schools.
In Les Cayes, close to 1,000 people were forcibly expelled from École Nationale Dumarsais Estimé in the night of 15 November.
This is not an acceptable solution and the humanitarian community will continue to work to address the situation whilst advocating strongly for any returns process to be underpinned by the applicable principles and conducted in a voluntary and dignified manner, particularly focusing on the needs of the vulnerable.
On 18 November, a rapid verification revealed that schools scheduled to host polling centres in Les Cayes and Torbeck had either been emptied or alternative locations for voting had been found.
Meanwhile in Jérémie, the Centre d'Opérations d'Urgence Départemental (COUD) reported that between 9 and 18 November the number of public shelters in Grand'Anse decreased from 76 to 36. Of those, the number of schools went from 37 to 23. The estimate number of families in those shelters dropped from 3,706 to 2,369. Verification of these numbers will take place in coming days.
At the time of this report, the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) stated medium risk of a tropical depression during the next five days in the Caribbean Sea, with a medium, 60 per cent chance of heavy rains. It was previously reported that there was a slight possibility of the tropical depression intensifying into a tropical storm. The regions of Grand'Anse, Nippes, Nord, Nord-ouest, Nord-est, Centre, and Nippes are at risk of heavy rains. In parts of Grand'Anse, rains have already worn out certain routes, leaving a few locations without access to humanitarian aid. On 18 November, the Centre d'Opérations d'Urgence National (COUN) put key civil protection sectors, the police and the COUDs on alert and recalled all personnel to duty until further notice.
Due to the support to and focus on the elections, MINUSTAH armed escorts and on-site security have been suspended and will resume after the elections, on 24 November. Provided the prevailing security situation, weather conditions and its capacity during this period allow, MINUSTAH will be available to provide escorts and on-site security starting from 22 November at the local level and from 23 November at the national level. Requests will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. More information will be shared with humanitarian partners by MINUSTAH's Joint Operations Centre (JOC) after the elections.
The Deputy Humanitarian Coordination (DHC) has communicated to members of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) that while the overall situation in the affected areas remains challenging, the use of armed escorts should neither become the norm nor seen as a long-term solution. Cases should be decided individually and in accordance with programme criticality. Although it is strongly acknowledged that some instances may require the use of armed escorts, alternative methods should also be considered when possible. Criteria for decision-making on this matter are clearly outlined in the IASC Non-Binding Guidelines on the Use of Armed Escorts for Humanitarian Convoys. Below is a review of armed escorts in recent weeks, illustrating the relation between geographical direction and quantity.

LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) Mike Muscala turned in his seventh double-double of the season and Bucknell extended its winning streak to six games with a 71-65 nonconference win over Marist Wednesday night.
The Bison's 11-1 start is the program's best since beginning 12-0 in 1907-08.
Muscala scored 26 points, nabbed 13 rebounds and blocked five shots. The senior was 12 of 13 from the foul line and hit 7 of 15 from the field.
Joe Willman added 15 points for Bucknell.
Jay Bowie and Devin Price led Marist (4-7) with 13 points each.
Marist used a 13-2 run to lead 56-51 after Price's jumper with 8:51 left, but then Muscala scored six straight points to pull Bucknell ahead 57-56. Bowie hit two free throws for Marist, but then Bucknell's Cameron Ayers hit one free throw, Bryson Johnson made two more and Ayers drained a 3 to put the Bison up for good.

We have been fortunate enough to bag an exclusive interview with the author of Alphadog, Get the Bitch You Want that is available at Amazon, Wing Girl Kim.
The book itself is an informative ( even if a little tongue- in- cheek) take on dating and relationships for men, and we cant wait to get reading and will post a review as soon as we have done.
In the meantime, we asked the Author to give her advice on some of the questions that are most frequently asked by our readers- and if the snippets that she has shared are anything to go by, the book should be a goldmine!.
Dating Advice by Wing Girl Kim of The alpha Dog Book
What effect can a bad dating profile have on your chances at love?
Let's describe bad. In terms of the overall scheme of dating and how well a profile stands out, a bad profile would be one that says nothing about personality. It's important to include descriptions that give hints about how you think. Looks are one thing, but how well would the person described in your profile hold up in conversation?
You want to have a profile that attracts people, but you don't want one that attracts everyone. Think of it this way: if you were applying for a job and included a cover letter with your résumé, you would want to convey a certain message in it. You want to convince the employer why you're qualified without being pompous, but you also want a job that suits you, so you don't want to lie.
It's not easy describing yourself when you can't observe yourself. Unfortunately, people generally make poor estimates of themselves.
What are 3 things to make sure you DO add to your profile, and why?
1. Mention at least two or three things that are most important or interesting to you. A lot of things might be interesting, but you can't attract everyone. What are you passionate about? Share it. It also helps to explain why a certain thing is interesting. For example, don't just say, "I like fishing." Say, "I like fishing on a quiet lake because it's when I do my best thinking."
2. If you are looking to get married, make sure to mention your most important values. If you are spiritual and being with someone else who is also spiritual is important, say it. Why hide it and why waste people's time?
3. Use descriptive phrasing that helps people imagine. Remember, however, that certain words mean different things to different people. If you're "easygoing" you might be the type of person who is willing to compromise or who is always game. But to some people, "easygoing" means being a pushover, over-sensitive, or boring. Try not to overgeneralize. Instead, paint pictures with your words.
What are 3 things to leave out, and why?
How about four things?
1. Lies. Not cool.
2. Past relationships. TMI.
3. Expectations. Chances are, you're not going to get it.
4. The obvious, like, "I like to have fun." Doesn't everyone like to have fun?
Does humour work in a profile?
Everyone needs to laugh. Anyone who has a sense of humour should use it. It can say something about level of intelligence as well as how one handles day-to-day life. On the other hand, you don't want that humour to be something you normally wouldn't say. It should be natural. Lying through your profile about who you are as a person is disrespectful and a waste of other people's time.
How does the site you are using effect your profile choices- and should it matter?
Different websites certainly cater to different types of people. It's not unlike choosing a certain neighborhood to live in because of the types of people who populate it. It also can depend on how the site is advertised, if at all. If you find an advert in the Daily Star, expect to find on that site an array of people that resembles a crowd in a tube station. But if you want to get away from the popular crowd, there are other sites that may suit you better. BrainiacDating.com is frequented by intellectuals. TypeTango.com focuses on Jungian personality type theory, while OkCupid.com has a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator aspect on it. There are a plethora of other sites hosted by weeklies and online magazines which obviously attract readers of those publications.
Be smart about online dating
There are so many other factors in online dating. It's just as important, for example, for readers of dating profiles to keep an open mind. Remember that some people simply are not very good at describing themselves. Then there's writing that private message, which can make or break an opportunity. That is another article.
The important thing about online dating is how you approach it. It's not easy to judge what a person is like with only words and a photo, just as it's virtually impossible to read emotions though an email. Half of my book, a dating guide for men, talks about Jungian personality type theory. The idea is that we all have fundaments of thought that differ according to our genetics. These differences are what allow some people to get along famously and others to want to rip each other apart.
Our tendencies to think one way over another can actually be determined through a person's dating profile, even if it's poorly written. That, also, is an entirely other article, or a book. In the meantime, Dr. Alex Avila in his book, LoveTypes, teaches how to recognise different Jungian psychological types based on various factors, including occupation and movie interests. There is a way to find the right person for you through online dating. From the profile-writing perspective, it takes careful thought with words. Of course, it helps to have someone who knows you tell you what he or she sees, since we are are own worst judges.

US Industrial Production Fell for 11th Month Running
Industrial production declined for the 11th consecutive month in July, -0.5% from July 2015, the fact that it has lasted for nearly a year now is significant.
On a monthly basis, production is up from its low in March particularly in the past 2 months, though the rise in July is susceptible to revision next month, as June's increase was revised significantly lower with this month's release.
Since February, any sign that the economy does not appear to be getting worse has been met with relief as if the whole matter has concluded.
Every monthly gain, no matter if still in contraction Y-Y, is greeted enthusiastically as if that were the case.
But individual segments of the production data are cause for real worry.
Manufacturing of consumer goods remains seriously and conspicuously subdued and is weaker this year than in Y 2015.
A slowing pace of automobile production is partly responsible.
Motor vehicle assemblies which had declined sharply in May only to rebound in June, were back down again in July, keeping the level of auto production below its prior trend.
That is a troubling development given that the auto sector has been one of the bright spots in the goods economy.
It is also consistent with what we find in retail sales, as well as recent pronouncements from the industry itself about plateauing sales. Without the usual boost from the auto sector, industrial production overall should struggle to regain any momentum beyond the current seasonality.
The other major support for US industry had been Oil & Gas production.
The crash in Crude Oil prices has ended that trend. Crude Oil production in the mining sector is starting to become a significant drag on overall industrial activity in the US.
Y-Y production in Crude Oil is down 10% and there does not appear to be any rebound in the near future.
Instead the contraction in Crude Oil production seems to be gaining even as prices are back into the $40's once again. That would appear to confirm that domestic production needs a much higher Oil price and likely for more than just a brief appearance.
If both the Automobile and Crude Oil sectors continue to drag that would mean an even greater threshold for US industry to resume even marginal growth.
The very weak recovery so far had been largely based on those 2 efforts, without them, the economy would need to find real alternatives.
Auto sales have drastically slowed and production of consumer goods overall has been down for years. So it is unlikely the consumer sector will be of any help.
That leaves either utilities or an imminent surge in capital expenditures. With profits, cash flow and earnings also contracting and restrained, that does not appear likely.
It looks as if the trajectory of US industry in the intermediate period ahead will be determined by marginal auto production. Should it continue to fall below trend, overall industrial production may continue to be flat to negative.
If motor vehicle production starts to fall off in more recessionary fashion, there is an increasing possibility that the same would occur in more than just the auto industry.
The Key will be the effect on inventory.
The Big Q: Will slowing the pace of production be enough to start to bring down the inventory on the wholesale level, not what is in dealer showrooms and on their lots?
What is left beyond is the true state of the U.S. economy especially since Y 2012, now laid bare, stripped of its 2 major artificial enhancements. Trouble ahead.
Thursday, the US major stock market indexes finished at: DJIA +23.76 at 18597.70, NAS Comp +11.49 at 5240.15, S&P 500+4.80 at 2187.02

Developers, in Microsoft SQL Server, create a unique index on a unique column (such as product id) or on a set of columns that together uniquely identify each record (such as vendor + product).When Developers create or modify a unique index, they can set an option to ignore duplicate keys. If this option is set to Yes and they attempt to create duplicate keys by adding data that affects multiple rows (with the INSERT statement), the row containing a duplicate is not added. If it is set to No, the entire insert operation fails and all the data is rolled back. When Developers working with SQL Server "Denali", MS SQL Server 2008 R2 and MS SQL Server 2005 want to create a unique index, they should follow the next steps:
1.In Object Explorer, right-click the table and click Design (Modify in SP1 or earlier).
The table opens in Table Designer.
2.From the Table Designer menu, click Indexes/Keys.
3.Click Add. The Selected Primary/Unique Key or Index list displays the system-assigned name of the new index.
4.In the grid, click Type.
5.Choose Index from the drop-down list to the right of the property.
6.Under Column name, select the columns they want to index. They can select up to 16 columns. For optimal performance, select only one or two columns per index. For each column they select, indicate whether the index arranges values of this column in ascending or descending order.
7.In the grid, click Is Unique.
8.Choose Yes from the drop-down list to the right of the property.
9.Select the Ignore duplicate keys option if they want to ignore data that would create a duplicate key in the unique index (with the INSERT statement).
The index is created in the database when they save the table or diagram.
Developers cannot create a unique index on a single column if that column contains NULL in more than one row. They cannot create a unique index on multiple columns if the combination of columns contains NULL in more than one row, because these are treated as duplicate values for indexing purposes.

Fishsticks and the Temporary Art of a Plastic Stationary Ass.
Well, I haven't got any idea who Katy Perry is but I saw a link on Newsweek, which I ran into after reading a link to Newsweek from MSNBC.com about how the seafood in The Gulf of Mexico is safer and tastier than the seafood in any body of water in the world; more or less and it was about her dirty mind. From the picture, I was interested enough to wonder what mind they were talking about, with her ice cream cone licking, children's fairytale set, which it proved to be when I clicked it and it started playing.

The libtool documentation has some info on how to do this already with it's current setup (differentiate and compile static and/or dynamic modules) without modifying libtool or ltmain.sh. What are we using for loading the modules? Wouldn't it be best to use the ltdl library that comes with libtool? It's already cross-platform (including win32 dll support) and even takes care of platforms that don't support dynamic modules, so we wont have to. I'm using it in a seperaqte project and it has removed a lot of the headache for this type of thing. Ben

Beaumont (/ˈboʊmɒnt/ BOH-mont) is a city in and county seat of Jefferson County, Texas, United States,[4] within the Beaumont–Port Arthur Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city's population was 118,296 at the 2010 census making it the twenty-fourth most populous city in the state of Texas. Beaumont's early history was centered around the lumber, farming, and port industries. A big change occurred in 1901 with the Spindletop gusher. The area transformed into one of the major petro-chemical refining areas in the country. Along with Port Arthur and Orange, Beaumont forms the Golden Triangle, a major industrial area on the Gulf Coast.
Beaumont is home of Lamar University, a national Carnegie Doctoral Research university with 15,000 students. Over the years, several corporations called Beaumont home. For example, Gulf States Utilities had its headquarters in Beaumont until its absorption by Entergy Corporation in 1993. GSU's Edison Plaza headquarters is still the tallest building in Beaumont (as of 2011). With Spindletop, several current energy companies were spawned in Beaumont.

In 1824 Noah and Nancy Tevis settled on the west bank of the Neches River and organized a farm. Soon after that, a small community grew up around the farm, which was named Tevis Bluff or Neches River Settlement.[5] In 1835 the land of Tevises together with nearby community of Santa Anna (in total, Script error: No such module "convert".) was purchased by Henry Millard[6] (1796?–1844), Joseph Pulsifer[7] (1805–1861) and Thomas B. Huling[8] (1804–1865), who began planning a town to be laid out on this land.[5] This town was named Beaumont, after Jefferson Beaumont the brother in law of Henry Millard.
Beaumont became a town on 16 December 1838. Joseph Perkins Pulsifer was a founding citizen of Beaumont.[7] His firm, J.P. Pulsifer and Company, donated the first Script error: No such module "convert". upon which the town was founded. Beaumont's first mayor was Alexander Calder.[9] From its founding in 1835, business activities included real estate, transportation expansion, and retail sales. Later, other businesses were formed, especially in railroad construction and operation, new building construction, lumber sales, and communications. They made Beaumont a successful regional shipping center. Beaumont was a small center for cattle raisers and farmers in its early years, and with an active riverport by the 1880s, it became an important lumber and rice-milling town. The Beaumont Rice Mill, founded in 1892 by Joseph Eloi Broussard, was the first commercial rice mill in Texas. Beaumont's lumber boom, which reached its peak in the late 19th century, was due in large part to the rebuilding and expansion of the railroads after the Civil War. The rise of Beaumont's mill economy drew many new residents to the city, many of them immigrants, among them a group of Jews who would go on to form a congregation.[10] By the early 20th century, the city was served by the Southern Pacific, Kansas City Southern, Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe, and Missouri Pacific railroad systems.[11]Oil was discovered at nearby Spindletop on 10 January 1901. Spindletop became the first major oil field and one of the largest in American history. With the discovery of oil at Spindletop, Beaumont's population grew from 9,000 in January 1901 to 30,000 in March 1901. Oil is, and has always been, a major export of the city, and a major contributor to the national GDP.
Captain W. C. Tyrrell was a leading philanthropist during the early 20th century. He helped fund such projects as the opening of a commercial port in the city, the development of the local rice industry, the development of suburban property, as well as the donation of the city's first public library, the Tyrrell Historical Library.[12]
The city became a major center for shipbuilding during World War II, as tens of thousands of rural Texans poured in for the new high-paying jobs. Housing was scarce and racial tension ran high when a race riot took place in Beaumont in June 1943 after workers at the Pennsylvania shipyard in Beaumont learned that a white woman had accused a black man of raping her.[13] Thus, the riot in Beaumont added to World War II period race riots in Los Angeles,[14] Detroit,[15] Chicago[16] as well as other cities across the country and repeated the war time riots which had occurred in other parts of the country during World War I.
In 1996, the Jefferson County courts, located in Beaumont, became the first court in the nation to implement electronic filing and service of court documents, eliminating the need for law firms to print and mail reams of documents.
In 2005 and 2008, Beaumont and surrounding areas suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Ike. A mandatory evacuation was imposed upon its residents for about two weeks.
Local Government
According to the city's most recent Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the city's various funds had $177.5 million in revenues, $164.5 million in expenditures, $633.2 million in total assets, $332.7 million in total liabilities, and $122.2 million in cash and investments.[17]
Beaumont is a council-manager form of government. Elections are held annually, with the Mayor and Council members each serving two-year terms. All powers of the City are vested in the Council, which enacts local legislation, adopts budgets, and determines policies. Council is also responsible for appointing the City Attorney, the City Clerk and Magistrates, and the City Manager. The city council is composed of two councilmembers-at-large, and four councilmembers representing four Wards of the city.[18]

Beaumont is located at 30°4′48″N 94°7′36″W / 30.08000°N 94.12667°W{{#coordinates:30|4|48|N|94|7|36|W|type:city | |name= }} (30.079912, −94.126653).[30] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of Script error: No such module "convert"., of which Script error: No such module "convert". is land and Script error: No such module "convert". (1.07%) is water.
Beaumont lies on Texas' coastal plain, about Script error: No such module "convert". inland from the Gulf of Mexico, and just south of the dense pine forests of East Texas. The city is bordered on the east by the Neches River and to the north by Pine Island Bayou. Before being settled, the area was crisscrossed by numerous small streams. Most of these streams have since been filled in or converted for drainage purposes. The island directly across from Riverfront Park is called Trinity Island. There are also three other islands in the Neches River around the downtown area/port: Harbor, Smith and Clark.
The city of Beaumont, Texas is within the humid subtropical climate zone.[31] This city is located within the Piney Woods, which cover the eastern region of Texas, as well as adjacent Louisiana.[32] This region of Texas receives the most rainfall in the state, with more than Script error: No such module "convert". annually. This is due to the warm gulf waters that carry humid air to the region, where it condenses and precipitates. Hurricanes also strike the region, the most disastrous of which was the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, as well as Hurricane Ike in 2008. Hurricane Ike was the largest and most damaging hurricane to hit Beaumont to date, striking 13 September 2008. Causing $32 billion in damage, it is the third costliest hurricane in United States history.[33] The humidity of the region greatly amplifies the feeling of heat during the summer. The winters are moderated by warm gulf currents. Wintry precipitation is unusual, but does occur. A recent snow event was 24 December 2004, the first such since 1989. However, more recently, Beaumont and the surrounding areas received a light snow on 11 December 2008, with up to Script error: No such module "convert". in the west end. Beaumont and the surrounding areas received a trace to half an inch of light snow on 4 December 2009. These are the earliest measurable snowfalls at the airport since the late 19th century. Although in unofficial records, Beaumont received as much as Script error: No such module "convert". of snow on 14 February and 15 during the blizzard of 1895 that impacted the gulf coast with unusual cold weather. Unofficially the temperature reported a drop to a low of Script error: No such module "convert". after the storm. The area suffered a severe ice storm in January 1997. On 18 August 2009, a tornado hit the west end of Beaumont, and caused damage to several local businesses and cars. Injuries were minimal.[34]
The Beaumont-Port Arthur region has historically been cited as one of the most polluted urban areas in the United States due to various energy industries and chemical plants in the area. Even so, as of July, 2014, the Beaumont-Port Arthur region was not under any Environmental Protection Agency non-attainment restrictions; however, counties in the Greater Houston area, the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, and El Paso were.[35] As of October, 2014, the Beaumont-Port Arthur area was not under any Texas Commission on Environmental Quality attainment compliance deadlines.[36] Regardless, according to an article published in 2007 focusing on Beaumont's neighbor to the south, Port Arthur, pollution was believed to have caused some general area residents to become sick and has generated debates throughout the media.[37]

Use the Internet to Learn Business Skills Online
"Never stop learning" has been quoted throughout generations, and with the technology in today's world it is easier to do this than it has ever been. The internet allows us to have a world of knowledge right at our fingertips. All we have to do is discern what is worth our time, and then reach out and seize it.
This can be very profitable for business owners, as the internet is full of ways to learn more about business, running a business, and sharpening the skills needed to be an effective business owner. Whether that means better employee management skills or learning the new accounting software, you can likely find it online.
Online Courses
Online courses come in many different formats. It may be a webinar, a slide show, or a combination. Generally, these are professional, offered by some accrediting agency, and in the end there is some sort of recognition of the course being completed in the form a certificate or other acknowledgement. While they are usually associated with a cost, the payoff is they can be considered toward continuing education credit or licensing requirements when appropriate.
Another option is to watch instructional videos. These are most often found on YouTube, and typically they are free. They can be found for virtually anything you want to learn, from software to repair, cooking, cleaning, and even card tricks. While they are generally free, they are rarely certified. Since anyone can make one, be prudent in making certain you are watching someone who actually knows what they are doing. You may not be able to get official credit for this type of learning, but you can gain the knowledge and skills just them same, and at little or no cost.
EBooks and Blogs
Many tutorial style eBooks and blogs exist that offer learning in all types of skills. While some blogs do charge for courses, and most eBooks are associated with some cost, it is generally less than an official course, and sometimes just as effective. Combining a video with one or more blogs or eBooks on a particular subject could result in a well-balanced learning experience, depending on the quality of your sources.
One thing that learning and money have in common is you can always use more. These are great resources for learning, and from the financial end, Biz2Credit is your best online resource.
