Analysis of Biodiversity Conservation in the Gulf of Honduras RegionEPA Grant Number: U915392
Title: Analysis of Biodiversity Conservation in the Gulf of Honduras Region
Investigators: Cheeseman, Ted F.
Institution: Duke University
EPA Project Officer: Lee, Sonja
Project Period: January 1, 1998 through January 1, 2001
Project Amount: $68,000
RFA: STAR Graduate Fellowships (1998) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Ecological Indicators/Assessment/Restoration , Academic Fellowships , Fellowship - Ecology and Ecosystems
The objectives of this research project are to: (1) analyze the status of biodiversity conservation; and (2) develop information systems capable of decision support for conservation activities in the Gulf of Honduras (shared between Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras).
I will develop a digital elevation model and use a time series of Landsat imagery joined with field data to conduct a high-resolution assessment of land use and land cover. I will build a gap analysis-type assessment of the status of biodiversity protection in the region at a 100-meter pixel resolution. Protection status will be evaluated at two levels: (1) considering everything within protected area boundaries represented; and (2) considering the true protection status of each area. In developing countries, it cannot be assumed that habitat within protected area boundaries is truly protected. Therefore, to make this assessment, I will interview protected area guards and managers to fill a spatial survey of current threats within protected areas. Collectively, these datasets will create a base for landscape scale integration of conservation efforts, and will be built on with ancillary data during the next 5 years.

Time moves on, work keeps changing...
I spent a big part of the year working on changing and moving my work from the flat collages to 3D/relief-like images. Maybe that's why I have kept silent for so long? After a lot of experiments I have put up the first works here: http://www.britishwomenartists.com/art-list.php?user=1957

Photos for ideas
Recently I have been doing a lot more with photos-as-sketches-for-ideas. I went to that tiny shoe repair shop in Marburg which is run by an Italian family and is the kind of shop which rarely exists anymore. There are all kinds of tools and shoes and funny things lying around and I asked the owner if I could take pictures of all the little details. These are my three favourites!

Moving on towards 3D works...
I asked my friend Emily to come to the studio to take some photos of my new pictures - it is so exciting to see them, it helps me to take three steps back and makes me look at my own works in a different way.

"But I'm 23! I'm past my prime already!" The maid sitting at the end of the counter buried her head in her arms atop the bar. "I'm an old maid! I'm never going to marry."
The barkeep quietly continued to polish glasses, the brass color of his metallic skin glinting under the lights of the lounge. He was a decent enough sort, as barkeepers go. Quiet, conscientious, very good at mixing over 1000 different drinks, and capable of destroying entire armies without messing his dapper vest and undershirt ensemble. He was also an excellent listener. He wasn't nearly so good at actually talking, having a vocabulary limited to describing the list of drinks he could serve, but you can't have everything.
A glass clinked next to the maid. Sarsaparilla was the answers to the poor barmaid's woes, he thought. Well, in as much as he could think. He at least seemed to have enough mental capacity to realize that if she was this maudlin on fizzy soft drinks, real alcohol was probably out of the question.
"He was so charming, though! And I didn't really mind that he was just a longshoreman! We could have settled down, had a nice little cottage overlooking the cliffs, and a dozen children. He could have worked at the airship docks, and I could have kept house for him, and then he'd come home to dinner, and we'd watch the airships go by sitting in the garden. It would have been wonderful! Like a dream!" The girl swept up her glass of sarsaparilla and downed it in a shot, then hiccupped as the bubbles went straight to her diaphragm. "Maybe I shouldn't have accepted this position."
"Ms. Jessup," a stern voice spoke from behind her. Alfred Jeeves, the Chief Butler, had materialized behind her with all the silence and unobtrusiveness that a long line of British Butlers had spent nearly a millennium developing. "I couldn't agree more. You shouldn't have accepted this assignment. However, Captain Morgan insisted on securing you a position on this ship, and I shall abide by his decision."
Even without turning around, Violet Jessup, 1st class maid aboard Her Majesty's Air Ship Mungo Park could tell that the little vein in Alfred's forehead was throbbing. She'd worked with him before, when Captain Morgan had captained another ship she'd been aboard, and the encounters between her and his personal Butler (with a capital B ) had been memorable. She jerked upright, face making an "Oh!" that went unvoiced, eyes wide with fear.
Alfred continued on, his voice slow, metered, and cutting. "Ms. Jessup, I am going to leave aside for now the fact that you are here, in the lounge, enjoying a little relaxation instead of attending to your duties. The reason for that would be that I have larger concerns. To wit, the contraption I discovered in Ms. Airheart's quarters. it has all the signs of being one of your addle minded schemes, and I desire an explanation."
Violet nibbled her lip for a few seconds. The Chief Butler had presented himself to the passengers roughly three minutes ago. In order for him to have made it into Ms. Airheart's, locate her latest invention, and then return, he would have only been able to analyze it for about forty-five seconds. Naturally, this means he would not have been able to sufficiently watch it to realize that this time it was actually working as she'd intended, and that, in fact, she was still accomplishing her duties while having a little refresher.
"It's an automated dusting machine, sir," she answered, still not turning about. She placed her hand demurely in her lap, and began to recite her work for him. "I combined a feather duster with a spring motivator and a rocker arm, then attached wheels to the side that are driven by the same spring and cog assembly as the feather duster. Then I put a squeegee and a tank of varnish on the back. All you have to do is wind it up and set it in an area needing dusting, and it will do the work twice as fast as a person could. I figure next I can give it a pair of arms so that it can move vases out of the way an"
"MS. JESsup..." Violet winced as the Cheif Butler's voice momentarily spoke at a level slightly above circumspect (though still not enough to turn the heads of any of the guests.) "I find the dubious value of your interest in these contraptions to only be exceeded by the advisability of letting you actually indulge this interest. I will not have you continue to endanger this vessel and Captain Morgan's reputation any further. There will be no more 'inventions' from you, do you understand me?"
Violet rose from the stool and turned primly towards Alfred, her face lowered as befit her station. "Yes, si..." Her voice trailed off as she took in the appearance of what she could see of him from her submissive position. He was covered in a fine, gray powder, with a particularly large dust bunny clinging to the back of one knee of his neatly pressed trousers. Several stains were visible, making the black of the cloth even blacker. "What..." she gasped.
"It seems, Ms. Jessup, that your little contraption cannot distinguish between the top of a writing table, and a member of this ship's complement. You can imagine my surprise when it attempted to varnish me."
"I'm terribly sorry! I was so sure I had it right this time!" Violet's fair skin was turning a particularly vibrant shade of red as she wrung her hands together before her.
"Just... go throw that thing overboard and return to your duties, Ms. Jessup. We will talk more about this little incident later. After I have changed into something presentable."
"Yes, sir."
Violet was walking back from the hold, where she had discreetly stashed her little device for later improvements when the alarm klaxon sounded. Hiking her skirts up just enough to enable herself to run without quite revealing her ankles, she hurried to the 1st class accommodations deck (idly wondering why they bothered calling it "1st class" when there was no other class aboard). After all, as one of the ship's crew, she had been trained in how to respond to emergencies.
If the ship was on fire, it was her duty to help ready the passengers to board the emergency bubbles that would be tossed overboard and then float down to the surface below. If the ship was crashing, she was to help wrap them in mattresses to pad them against the sudden stop at the end of the fall. If the ship was out of tea, well, it was her duty to try to keep the passengers from panicking while an immediate SOS was sent out. And if it was pirates...
Well, she certainly had been hoping it wasn't pirates. She'd been through two pirate attacks before. The first time, the pirates had been in a hurry, and had known exactly what they were looking for. They'd boarded, found a chest in the hold, and hauled it away before anyone really knew what was happening. The second the pirates had been in much less of a rush, but His Majesty's Airship Indeflowerable had come along and forced the pirates to flee before anything untoward had happened.
"Attention all hands!" Captain Morgan's voice called out from the brass horn mounted above a hatch in the passageway. "We are about to be boarded by pirates. Prepare to repel boarders! All noncombatants please report to your cabin at once."
As was only proper, Violet waited until she had descended two decks and closed herself within her cabin before resorting to panic. It wouldn't have done to have gone screaming down the hallways after the announcement. She was British, after all, and as such she had appearances to maintain. Once she was in her cabin, however, protocol allowed for more leeway in her behavior, which she duly began to exercise the moment the hatch swung shut.
Her companion, named Elizabeth, doubtless worried that the volume of sound would be audible three decks up, attempted to shush Violet. "Now, don't fret. I'm sure that pirates wouldn't attack a ship as important and prominent as ours! Why, it would be unimaginable that they'd be so foolish!"
"But they would, Lizzie!" Violet gasped. "Haven't you ever read any of the stories?" She leaned forward and clutched her bunk-mate's hands between hers. "They'll board, and they'll come in to loot and... to commit rapine upon us! Then they'll carry us away to their ship to be their harem-clothed pleasure slaves! I can't be a pleasure slave! I've never known a man!"
Lizzie pulled her hands away and gave Violet a cross look. "Violet, don't be ridiculous. If such a thing should occur, just remember what the Queen has said!"
"Close your eyes and think of England?"
But before her fellow maid could explain which quote she had actually intended, (and divert Violet from wondering if being ravished really was as pleasant as the books made it seem, and whether or not that would make it harder to think of England) the small porthole to their room swung open and smashed against the bulkhead with a clang of metal on metal and a gust of air pressure being released.
"Ooch! I daena unnerstan wah yer thinkin, Angus!" A head poked in through the porthole, and looked around. "There's naught here but a wee cabin! We should be makin our way through the big'uns like the other clansmen!"
"Hurry oop and get yer bollux in there, Angus!" A voice came from outside, and the head suddenly shot forward as it's owner was clearly shoved from behind. As he fell to the deck, the source of the second voice popped his head in through the porthole. "We're goin in through this'aen cause all the aethers are goin' in through the baeguns. They'll all be lootin up there, and we'd have to settle with thae dregs o'whatever they didna take! But here we get first dibs!"
"Well, tha was a low thing tae do to yer kin, Angus!" the fellow on teh deck objected. "Wha did ye push me fer?"
"Because ye were blockin the way, ye great oaf! What was I tae do, Angus? Stare at yer arse all raid?"
"Wait..." Lizzie stared at the two pirates. "You're both named Angus?"
"Aye," Angus said, this Angus being the one on the floor.
"But... why?" Violet asked.
"We're scottish!" Angus replied, this one being the Angus in the porthole. Violet found this explanation to be at least as reasonable as any other she might have gotten, given the circumstances. As such she simply nodded and waited while Angus glowered at the Angus on the floor. "Angus, ye lummox! Get oop and halp me through this porthole, I'm stuck!"
"Sorry Angus!" The thinner Angus popped up, took an ear in each hand, and began tugging away at the head sticking through the port hole. As he tugged, he pondered a moment, then spoke up. "Angus, there's a pair of lassies in here."
"Aye!" Angus replied with a surprising amount of gusto for someone being pulled painfully by his ears through a hole several inches smaller than the width of his shoulders. "That's where the rapine comes in, Angus!"
"But Angus, if we take th' time to commit rapine, we won't have time tae loot!"
"Angus, ye damned fool! Tha's why we throw them over a shoulder with one hand and loot wi' th' othar! We can take these bairns back over tae our lair and make them pleasure slaves after the lootin'!"
"Oh, thaes good, Angus!" Angus said. "I have those harem clothes from that wee little Barbary Airship from thae last raid."
"See!" Violet pointed out with glee. "I told you, 'Lizzie! Rapine!"
"Is this really the time, Violet?" Lizzie gave Viole a quelling look as she reached over and picked up a very thick-glassed leaded mirror. She hefted it, then brought it down on the head of Angus (the puller) hard enough to break the glass. Angus (the puller) gave a sickly smile, then slumped to the deck.
"Ooch! Ye ought naught have done that, lassy!" Angus (the pully) stated.
"Why not?" Lizzie replied. "Am I not allowed to defend my English person from northern barbarism?"
"Ooch, Aye, ye are!" Angus commented. "But ye should ha done that before I was able to finish squeezing into this wee cabin." He smiled at her from where he now stood, trousers slightly askew from his just completed narrow entry.
"Oh. I see." Lizzie nodded sagely. "Jolly good idea, that." With a pleasant smile she turned, opened the hatch, and bolted out into the passageway beyond.
"Lizzie?" Violet gabbled, then leaned out the hatch of the cabin to stare after the fleeing Lizzie. She then turned back to face Angus. "Um... How do you do?" She gave a curtsey.
"Oh, Most faer, lass. Thankee. Now, I've thangs tae do, so if ye don mind, we'll attend tae the rapine later. For now, just bea a goo lass there an keep quiet." He scooped Violet over his shoulder and hauled her down the passageway as she screamed and kicked her heels in a way that probably exposed her pettycoats in a most unseemly fashion.
The pair proceeded in this fashion past a variety of sights. There was the Gallant Captain of Her Majesty's Coldstream Guards personally dueling four pirates at once. A little further on they moved past the rather mad eccentric doctor unleashing strange energies from his latest contraption while cackling madly. (Unfortunately, he was targeting random bulkheads which would later need repair rather than pirates.) Next they encountered the poorly disguised woman-pretending-to-be-a-cabin-boy that all ships were required to have aboard in accordance with a Parliamentary Decree. And, of course, the ship drunk was proceeding to brain every pirate he could reach with his flagon as they passed through the lounge.
Throughout this panoply of scenes, Violet continued the unseemly kicking of her feet, revealing her petticoats and bloomers in a most inappropriate . Her squeals and objections went completely unanswered by the Scotsman, not that she'd have necessarily understood his answers had he given them. Underlying her objections could be heard the sounds of looting, pillaging, (no rapine, yet. These Scots seemed to have priorities) and the 1812 Overture.
As Angus ran past the entry to the linen closet, Alfred, dusting a few flecks of plaster off his shoulder, leaned out. "MS. JESSUP! Cease that horrid noise at once! You will represent this ship with some sense of decorum!"
"Yes, sir!" Violet called back, and proceeded to lay more quiescently, her hands demurely keeping her skirt well in place in spite of Angus' bouncy gait.
Angus glanced over at her at this sudden change in demeanor. "Ooch! Why dinna I think o' that?"
"You're not a British butler. It wouldn't have worked," Viola responded.
"Ye ha' a point, lass." Angus nodded thoughtfully as he swept up a nice silver candelabra and a rather sharp looking tatted doily from a small table along the way. "Now, jes hold these for me for a moment." He turned sharply, dodging into a cabin. He eyed the large window, then gave a nod. "Aye, that'll do."
"Do for what?" Violet asked.
"Exiting, lass. I need ta put ye down if'n I'm ta get more loot. And since aye don' want ye to be escaping, tha means takin ye to th' lair."
"Oh! I see." Violet nodded. "Permission to scream and attempt to fight you off, sir?"
"Och! Granted lass!"
"Thank you," Violet said gracefully. Proper observances had to be kept up, after all. She then closed her eyes and began to scream and shout, kicking her feet again and pounding on Angus' back with her tiny pale hands.
"ANGUS!" a deep, loud voice bellowed. "Wha d'ye think yer doin?"
"Cap'n Angus!" Angus jumped up, dropping Violet onto her delicate feet. "I was just taken this wee bairn off t' be properly rapined later."
Violet found herself undecided as to what to do at this point. On the one hand, she was fairly certain that proper procedures required her to faint dead away at this announcement. On the other hand, doing so was very likely to result in her laying untidily on the deck, and there was no way the Chief Butler would forgive her for creating such a mess. Uncertain as to which course of action would best fit the situation she turned about, thinking perhaps seeing the visage of the Pirate Captain might help with her decision.
Captain Angus was an admittedly large man. His flaming red beard descended down his chest in several tight braids. Dark eyes peered out from under bushy read eyebrows. His nose was centered on his face, or at least Violet presumed this to be the case. The mustache above the beard was large enough to prevent certainty.
"Y' daft fool!" Captain Angus roared. "Don' ye know ye're suppose ta be taken' th' designated helpless damsel?"
Angus turned and gawked at Violet. Violet gawked back. "Helpless damsel?" she asked.
"Aye, it's required, don' ye know? Every ship is required b' international treaty to be equipped w' a helpless damsel t' be rescued. An ye ain' her!"
"But… how do you know I'm not she?" Violet asked. "I am a damsel, and rather helpless."
"Aye, that ye are, lass," Cap'n Angus replied. "But ye happen t' be a maid, an that means ye are actually useful for someat."
"Tell that to the Chief Butler," Violet muttered.
"Cap'n Angus!" another pirate dashed in. "Look ere! I found someat in th' hold!"
"My varnisher!" Violet gasped.
"Varnisher?" Cap'n Angus arched an eyebrow. "An' how does that be workin?"
"Oh!" Violet reached out and took the device from Angus (naturally). "Well, you just twist the key in it, then set it down and…"
The chaos that ensued was quite calamitous and substantial. It would be improper to described what happened, given that there are ladies who read this publication. We shall simply state for the record that automated varnishers, feather dusters, and kilts are a most unfortunate combination. In time the varnisher was destroyed, Angus (no, we're not sure which one) was properly sedated and bandaged, and Violet was tied up with an excessive amount of rope and tossed into a corner most unceremoniously. Sighing, she began looking around.
"Oh!" She gasped. Her eyes widened. A second time, louder now, she exclaimed. "OH! Oh my! Oh no!"
Heads turned.
"Would you... Oh, Oh would you look at this place? This... this mess! Oh this is... simply awful! AWFUL!"
It was true. The carpet had been trampled and was stained with furniture polish and muddy boot prints. The curtains were torn and smeared with grease. The furnishings had been thoroughly upset. And the sign beside the door reading "By order of Her Majesty, the playing of 'Frère Jacques' is forbidden upon pain of being made to eat pate." was 3 degrees off plumb. At the sight of this, Violet's lower lip began trembling.
Several of the pirates began shuffling about a bit nervously.
"Oh this is terrible. This is horrible! Why, when the Chief Butler sees this mess..." The girl began to softly cry.
"Och! Angus! What dae she sae?" one of the Scotsmen asked another.
"She saed, when th' Chief Butler sees th' mess..."
"Chief butler?" asked Angus. Another Angus. "Di she sae 'Chief Butler?'"
"Aye, Angus, tha she did," said the second.
All three pirates leaned in closer. "Er, lassy, did ye sae ye ha a Chief Butler?"
"Why, yes," Violet sniffled. "Of course! This is a British ship! Why, it would be horribly improper to be without a Chief Butler!"
The three men nodded sagely.
"Th' bonny thing is raeght, Angus."
"Aye, tha she is, Angus. Tis only tae be expected."
"Queen's ship an all that, aye. Why hadn't we thought of that, Angus?"
"Because ye aren' th' Cap'n," Cap'n Angus replied.
"Och! Aye," the Anguses replied. "That makes sense."
"Abou this Chief Butler," Cap'n Angus muttered.
"Oh! Yes!" Violet clapped her hands together. "And when he sees this mess..." she sniffled. "He's going to be horribly angry!"
By this point, several more pirates had crowded into the cabin. Mutters were heard. "Chief Butler..." "Terrible mess..." "Angus..." A crowd was beginning to form around Violet.
"Why, he'll... He'll scold me!" Violet sniffled again, her eyes beginning to water. "He'll scold me terribly, and tell me to clean up this mess, and the look in his eyes..." she wailed. "He'll look... disappointed!"
"No!" the pirates gasped. "Terrible..." came the whispers. "Scolded by a Chief Butler, tis a horrid faet, Angus!" "Och, aye! A Chief Butler's wrath..." "Poor baern..."
"And..." By this point, Violet was shuddering with sobs as tears ran down her cheeks. "And... He may not let me enjoy afternoon tea!"
There was a sharp in drawn intake of breaths from every pirate gathered. Even Cap'n Angus looked aghast. Or one had to assume so, given his beard. No afternoon tea? It was unthinkable!
"Och... Angus..." one of the pirates intoned.
"Aye?" the rest answered.
"D'ye think, maybe..." Angus asked.
"Aye!" Angus agreed.
"Begorah! Jesus Mary and Joseph! By faith we should help this 'ere Molly!"
The Scotsmen immediately agreed, and after tossing overboard an Irishman who no one could remember inviting to the party and which hasn't been previously mentioned in this tale, began to setting everything to rights as three of them patted the weeping Violet on the back and crooned gently to her trying to comfort and calm the maid. Tables were righted, table clothes straightened, brass polished, the carpet cleaned, and even the stacks of loot were neatened up and stacked in an orderly fashion.
"WHAT I' TH' NAEM O' ANGUS ARE YE DOING?" Cap'n Angus yelled.
"Och," Angus commented, though at this point we couldn't possibly know which Angus it was. "Well, the wea baern was weeping... an..."
"BUGGER IT!" Cap'n Angus bellowed. "I hae had it! Git back tae th' ship! I'm through wi raidin' thae English! Even when bein' raided thae ha t' be soooooooooooo proper!" He threw his hands up in disgust. "'Do forgive my blade damaging your bonnet.' 'Dreadfully sorry, old chap, but I'm afraid I've slain your first officer.' 'Pardon me, but it's tea time. Shall we resume combat in thirty?' I am sick tae death o' these knobs! Let's gae raid th' Germans again!"
"But the paperwork the Kaiser demands..." Angus cautioned.
Within seconds the room was clear of Scotsmen, and surprisingly ship shape.
Violet sighed in relief. The pirates were gone, her virtue was intact, and most importantly, the compartment was pristine. Surely the worst was over.
"Miss Jessup." Alfred's voice sounded withering.
"Yes?" Violet responded meekly.
"I see you still fail to grasp even the basics of proper behavior."
"About the knots of your bindings…"
Violet sighed.

Praise or punishment ? which is more effective in educating children?
In my opinion, praise and punishment both have benefits when educating children because children benefit most from self-motivated study.
When it comes to study, praise is more effective in educating children because it will encourage them to make further effort in their study. If children receive praise when they are successful in study, they will feel that their efforts bear fruit. In this way, study is reflection of life. The more effort you make, the better results you achieve. I feel that children should learn about this at an early age. Moreover punishment will only lower child's morale to study because nobody wants to be forced to do something. Therefore as for study, praise is more effective.
When it comes to the situation when children do something bad intentionally just for fun, punishment is more effective because adults must make them realize what is right and wrong. If they receive punishment when they do bad things intentionally, they can be inculcated with a sense of discipline. Therefore in this case punishment is more effective.
As I mentioned, it all depends on the situation.

A firefighter is next to a VENTRY® PPV Fan when, at full RPM, the fan is stabbed with a pike pole!
For 25 years, we have talked about how safe VENTRY Fans are, among their many benefits. Now we have released this video demonstrating this fact.
As the engineer responsible for VENTRY Safety Propellers, our CEO James Neils stood beside our largest gas-powered model, directly in the debris path, while our colleague impaled it with a pike pole. The fan was at full RPM.
As designed, the stricken area of the VENTRY PPV Fan propeller disintegrated harmlessly into tiny wood chips, sawdust, and fabric. The unaffected portion of the prop remained intact and continued to move air. James and five onlookers were unhurt. Besides the prop itself, the fan was also undamaged and was returned to service in a few minutes after prop replacement.
VENTRY Safety Propellers are made in a proprietary process that pressure-bonds Kevlar® and fiberglass over a cedar core, making them very durable and robust as well as uniquely safe.
We hope to make it clear how safe our fans are and to get viewers thinking about fan safety before it becomes an issue on scene. Users should consider not just how a PPV fan will help things go well but also what will happen if something goes wrong. VENTRY Fan users can rest assured their fan is fail-safe.
Testimonials on ventry.com show why this level of safety is essential. See www.ventry.com/fans/propellers.html#bethel for a powerful first-hand experience that any fire fighter could encounter.

text: I would like to see more pedestrianization of Bath. In particular the route for pedestrians from Oldfield Park to the city centre should be improved with more zebra crossings and paths. Going further, I think that private cars should be barred from the city centre to make it more pedestrian / cyclist friendly.

Under Florida law, and federal law, tax evasion is generally defined as the evasion or attempt to avoid the payment of taxes by an individual, a corporation or a trust. Usually tax evasion includes the deliberate misrepresentation of income and expenses in order to reduce or negate the taxpayer's tax liability. Any time profits are under reported or expenses or deductions are inflated, a charge of tax evasion can result. Tax evasion can also occur when an individual or business attempts to evade sales taxes, import duties, local taxes or any tax at the local, state or national level. Tax avoidance, on the other hand, is the legal use of the tax laws to reduce one's tax liability. Avoidance is lawful, but evasion is illegal. The government cannot pursue every possible instance of evading taxes. The amount involved, the pattern of conduct and whether or not the person or entity is of interest to the authorities will usually dictate when and how the government will pursue a charge of tax evasion. Penalties are wide ranging and can include seizure of asset, fines, and possible jail time. David Seltzer is experienced in handling tax evasion cases in Miami and south Florida, and has the dedication to his clients you deserve when facing a serious tax crime charge.
A successful defense of a tax evasion prosecution will focus on the lack of intent to evade taxes. The government, be it state or federal, must prove that you intentionally attempted to mislead or failed to file a tax return. There are also statutes of time limitation within which the government must file a tax evasion suit. Typically, the IRS must file suit within six years of the alleged attempt to evade, or else the prosecution will not be successful. Making an honest mistake is also a valid defense to a tax evasion charge under some circumstances.
If you have been charged with tax evasion, you should immediately consult with an experienced tax crimes attorney.

An Examination of Kingdom-, Dominion-,
and Latter Rain Theology
An Examination of Kingdom Theology - Part 3/3
If the dominion overcomers are to be God's instruments of destruction upon not only unbelievers, but believers who do not submit to the authority of the apostles and prophets as well, they will need immunity from reprisals. It is an essential ingredient of Dominion Theology, therefore, that these overcomers, through their perfect (sinless) living, attain immortalization and become impervious to injury and death. That's why it's such a tragedy for someone in the movement to die - especially someone in a position of dominion leadership. If God does not count such an one worthy to escape death, then those close to him must make excuses such as equating his death with some vicarious suffering for the Body of Christ. Of the fringe movements in dominion teaching, Positive Confession is most susceptible to this theory of immortalization. The believe-it-and-receive-it mentality of Positive Confession must inevitably result in the belief that if one can muster enough "faith" to live in "divine health" (which has never been sufficiently defined), he can also believe for immortality. Of course, it is believed that this final state of physical perfection will come about only through the attainment of spiritual perfection. The reason is that death is the final enemy to be conquered (I Corinthians 15:26).Earl Paul
THE FIFTH FUNCTION OF THE CHURCH IS TO CONQUER THE LAST ENEMY, WHICH IS DEATH, AND TO BRING REDEMPTION TO THE BODY OF CHRIST. When the Apostle Paul says that redemption has not yet taken place, he speaks, I believe, of the redemption of the individual body; yet in my spirit I perceive that he speaks also of the redemption of the Body of Christ. [Boldface Paulk's throughout.] Jesus Christ Himself overcame death individually, and WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES SO CONFORMED TO HIS IMAGE THAT THOSE WHO DIE DO NOT PASS THROUGH THE GRAVE, BUT BECOME INSTEAD GLORIOUSLY CHANGED IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, IT WILL BE THAT CHURCH WHICH WILL BRING THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO PASS ON THE EARTH. [Paulk then quotes Romans 8:18,22-23, and Ephesians 1:13-14.] We have received the earnest of the EXPECTATION through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but we must move on to the POSSESSION, which is overcoming the last enemy, death. Sometimes the interpretation has been made that Jesus Christ conquered death, but if that were so, why would Paul's epistle to the Corinthians, written at least ninety years later, say that the last enemy that SHALL be destroyed is death (I Corinthians 15:26)? JESUS CHRIST CONQUERED DEATH INDIVIDUALLY, BUT IT IS LEFT TO THE CHURCH TO CONQUER DEATH ON A CORPORATE BASIS.. Is it possible that there will be a people who so possess the authority of Almighty God, as Elijah did, that they, as a group, will say to death, hell, and the spirit of Satan, 'We will NOT die. We will stay here and be changed, and we will call Jesus Christ to return to this earth as King of Kings and Lords of Lords'? Yes, that is what I believe the church must do! But it will not be easy, because GOD IS LOOKING FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF A MATURE CHURCH WHO CAN SPEAK WITH THE AUTHORITY JESUS HAD WHEN HE STILLED THE WINDS AND CALLED LAZARUS FORTH FROM THE GRAVE. An exciting prospect? Oh, yes! We are God's people, called to do the will of God in the world today and to see the King of Glory return to establish His Kingdom on earth! Jesus Christ had the authority to say 'No' to death on earth, and He is waiting for us to come to that same authority He had so we can say, 'The last enemy - death - has been conquered!' (1)[Paulk then quotes I Corinthians 15:20-26.] Jesus Christ, as the firstfruit of the Kingdom, began the work of conquering death on an individual basis, but we, as His church will be the ones to complete the task. Jesus said (Matthew 28:18), 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,' and the church today has that same power. Death will not be conquered by Jesus returning to the earth. It will be conquered when the church stands up boldly and says, 'We have dominion over the earth!' How else will God be able to show Satan a people for whom death holds no fear, over whom death no longer has any power? When God can do that, Satan's hold on us will be broken forever!I Thessalonians 4:13-17; I Corinthians 15:50-55). This immortality unto eternal life, the hope of our salvation, will occur suddenly and will take effect throughout the Body of Christ, not just among a select few "overcomers." It won't occur because we happen to come to the realization that we can speak it into existence because of our attainment to holiness through outward works of righteousness. Such a notion is ridiculous and is contradicted by Scripture. Likewise the very Scriptures Paulk quotes contradict his belief that the Church will destroy death. For verse 26 of I Corinthians 15 says, "For he [Jesus] must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." Jesus, when He returns (not the Church prior to His return), is the one who will put all enemies under His feet. He must reign on earth until that is accomplished. The context of these verses shows clearly that death will be destroyed 'after' the Millennium, when Christ "shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father" (I Corinthians 15:24).
(Leading apostle of the Identity Movement): In a communication to his followers, Ebaugh reprinted a proclamation by a Rev. Dean Gross entitled "Melchisedec Order Decree," and offered it free on request to those who would write to his organization, Word by Word Association. This decree, affirming belief that the end-time overcomers will be a part of the Melchisedec Order of priests, states in part:Sam Fife
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, through his blood, fire, water, and Spirit, I receive glory, honor, and immortality by imparting his now-blood, liquid streams of living light into my blood. My whole spirit by faith, soul by works, body by hope is now being preserved blameless until the coming of the Lord. When I decree a thing, it is established unto me; and your light shines upon my ways. I decree that the full manifestation of the Kingdom of God from within me now come forth. I decree that every atom within my earthly, physical body bring forth health, light, life, and immortality. My light is now coming forth as the morning, and my health is springing forth speedily, and my righteousness goes before me. Your glory is my rear guard. For I am made in the image of Elohim, after Elohim's likeness. I have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. I am helping to bring about the revelation and restoration of all things which you have spoken by the mouth of all your holy prophets since the world began.
(A leading apostle of the Manifested Sons of God Movement): In his book, 'One Corporate Man,' Fife states:
Therefore let all men know, that in this dispensation of the fullness of times, God is going to fulfill His purpose to bring together into one, all things that are in Christ, both in the earth and in heaven, and make of all the twos, one new many-membered man, who lives after the order of Melchisedec. When He has finished preparing this many-membered man, He is going to purge the earth of every other man by His Judgment Day, and there will come in a new age, and a new earth, with a new man living in a new order, where every member is so dead to self that he lives unto the rest of the Body, and that order shall perpetuate eternal life.
...The accusers said to Jesus, 'We have Moses as our father, and Moses said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.' Jesus replied, 'I believe that too, but let me carry you to a heavenly dimension. If you don't lust in your heart you cannot commit adultery.' They said, 'The law says, Thou shalt not kill,' and Jesus replied, 'I believe that too, but let me speak to your heart. If you don't hate first, there is no possibility of murder.' How wise Jesus was!

ELECTION. For the first time in the history of the competition, Miss Guyana was crowned yesterday night live on TF 1. Miss France 2017 is 18 years old and is named Alicia Aylies
Lare the thirty most beautiful women of France, " announces the voice-over in the preamble. In front of the Christmas tree, on a background of Coldplay, thirty candidates framed by dancers, including a distant look-alike of M. Pokora dyed blond, engaged in a choreography to the Bollywood, on the stage of the Arena of Montpellier. A cocktail improbable, but the markers arrive. The indéboulonnable Jean-Pierre Foucault, of which the tan would envy Donald Trump, is still there. Sylvie Tellier also. "Beauty, elegance and glamour" promise-they in chorus. Arielle Dombasle and her dress is ultra-form fitting, color bag tree, sells " moments of pure magic ". It is left for the presentations. A litany videos where every Miss is in making the swing in the above image of the region. So many moments interminable, during which the candidate linked the intimate confessions : parents with severe disease, a victim of harass ment or bullying, the loss of a friend or even why one of them has become vegetarian…
Among the jury, Amir, fresh from his success since his excellent place at the Eurovision contest, observe methodically. The camera immortalizes, smug. It is 21: 50 and this is the first cut-off pub. "Go it is party for twenty minutes," fun for web users. Because in 2016, the evening can be enjoyed also on the social networks. Return tray with a table in which the Miss dance in an atmosphere of " snow Queen ". And this is the first fall. Violent. Miss Mayotte, who has had to deal with a sprain since the afternoon, collapses on stage. A "classic" that will not chance because it will be eliminated in the first round.
Magic Christmas
The musical band tries everything and especially anything : "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces" by Mylène Farmer to " Papa Penguin ". And then Jean-Pierre announcement " of the lutines in a bathing suit ". Amir is still flown in the face of a gourmand in front of the window of a pastry shop. Miss Centre-Val de Loire-responding to him by drawing a heart with your fingers. And after a headband adorned with snowmen gingerbread, the Miss is cap of Christmas balls. "There is so much beauty. I am amazed, you never get bored not for a second, " says, at 22: 30, Amir. It had been properly noticed. 22 h 38. Iris Mittenaere, the Miss France 2016, called the twelve semi-finalists after also made a heart with his fingers. A sign is decidedly a la mode.
the screen displayed a montage with flames for the classic fashion show into two parts. And the medley is always so disconcerting : of Stromae and David Bowie in passing by Brigitte Bardot. The five finalists paraded a little before midnight, with wings in the back formed with light strings.
In the last line right, the members of the jury pose questions to the last candidate in the running. Arielle Dombales criticizes the name of Amir, and is called Emir, the networks gloussent. Finally, Alicia Aylies, Miss Guyana, weeping, receives the crown. A first for this French overseas department. It is the magic of Christmas !

Panther 2000
We started out by designing a Print and Apply labeling system that we knew needed to be built. This system had to be fast, reliable, configurable, and rugged. It had to have an abundant label supply along with one important feature that most of the market was lacking - a display unit that would offer self-diagnostics, provide informative data, and accept user input. Upon final completion we decided on a name. A name that exemplified speed, ability, and strength. A name that told the competition that their days were numbered - The Panther 2000.
The Panther 2000 is designed to be the most rugged, feature-packed print and apply system in the industry. We have taken no shortcuts in achieving our design goal.

I'll be headed to Vancouver, BC, on Friday with five Urban Studies students to attend the 9th Annual Critical Geographies Mini-Conference, hosted this year by Simon Fraser University. Click here for the schedule. I'll be presenting on a panel called "Rights to the City: Critical Politics in and Beyond the Academy", chaired by SFU's Eugene McCann. My PhD student Erin Goodling will be presenting on "Radical Incrementalism and Oppositional Community Development in Portland, Oregon: A Research Framework", drawing on her recent participation in the Radical Incrementalism and Theories/Practices of Emancipatory Change workshop in Cape Town, South Africa.
If you're in Vancouver, join us for this free conference, open to the public. Here's the location:
149 W. Hastings St., Vancouver, BC
And here's a description of the conference from the website:
We acknowledge that the Critical Geographies Mini-Conference will be taking place in Vancouver on unceded Indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Critical geographers view the spaces of our world with a mixture of anger and hope. We believe that society and nature do not represent themselves: we must analyze them, map them, and thus involve ourselves in their remaking. The world does not exist in order to verify our theories: it is there to be comprehended and changed. It is not to be accepted at face value: appearances deceive and space hides things from us. The earth is not flat and smooth, but scarred by power and structured by hierarchy. Reality is not immutable or inevitable, but open to change. The earth is not disposable: this is the only world we have. Ours is not the best of all possible worlds: better worlds, latent in the present, must be sought and fought for.
We are delighted to announce that the Department of Geography at Simon Fraser University will host the Ninth Annual Mini-Conference for Critical Geographers who live and/or work in our region. It will take place at SFU Woodward's on Saturday November 22, 2014. Our emphasis is to create a friendly, engaging, and fun space for critical geographers, especially – but by no means only – graduate students. We welcome papers from across the field of geography (human, physical, GIS), and from spatially oriented scholars in other disciplines, that seek to engage with and contribute to the critical geography project. The mini-conference is open to students, faculty members, and members of the public. There is no fee for attending or participating.
All space is political. The location for the conference - SFU Woodwards - is an example. Occupying unceded indigenous lands, within the contested space of the Downtown Eastside, the building itself has been a touchstone in a brave and enduring struggle against exclusion and for social justice. While there is no pure position free from contradiction, we hope that we may use this space in ways that sustain the progressive potential of such struggles, and related geographies of possibility and freedom.

US Manufacturing Rises Nearly Three Points in January
(NEW YORK) -- U.S. manufacturing jumped in January to its highest level since last April, the Institute for Supply Management reported Friday.
The index rose 2.9 points to 53.1 last month as factories are seeing a greater demand for goods. Anything over the 50 percent mark indicates growth.
Economists say the second-month-in-a-row gain shows the economy is starting to thrive again after struggling most of last year.

Twitter has been spoken about on major news channels, and even mentioned in the major magazines of America. So, if you're not using twitter for your marketing efforts, you are seriously lagging behind. Twitter is a fantastic way to drive traffic, sales, and most importantly build relationships. So, if you're not using twitter in your marketing efforts you really need to start now. Here are a couple simple steps you can use to start using twitter in your marketing efforts. 1. Get a Twitter Account Well, that might sound simple, but how many people out there do not have a twitter account? There are people that will think about using twitter all day long, but will never actually go out and get a twitter account. So, you need to go and sign up for twitter right now if you have not done it. I give you permission to stop reading this article and go do it. As long as you .e back that is. 2. Join the Conversation Once you have your twitter account you need to jump in and start joining the conversation. In order to do that you need to start following people. So, all you need to do is go out and find people with like-minded interests, and then follow them. Once you start following other people people will start following you. And once you get this interaction going you will need to start joining the conversation. Joining the conversation is as easy as just saying hi. And more importantly, you want to make sure you respond to other peoples tweets. Let them know you are interested in them, and then they will be interested in you. 3. You Can Market on Twitter You can market your products and services on Twitter, but you do not want to spam the platform. It is not made for you to just put out links all day long every day. Not only will people not click on your links, but they will unfollow you and you will lose whatever Twitter power you have. So, it is essential that you find a balance between .municating with people in marketing your products and services. I find that people do appreciate it when you share with them what you do, but they do not like to be spammed. So, if you can just join the conversation and not spam them, it will go a long way to help you marketing your products and services. About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

Virtually anyone can start their own business, but not everyone can turn that business into a successful venture. In fact, according to a Forbes article, 8 out of every 10 entrepreneurial ventures fail within the first 18 months. With the likelihood of success so slim, what is it that makes some entrepreneurs successful while others fail? Could it be luck? Perhaps so.
While we have no control over 'luck' here are five ways entrepreneurs can increase the likelihood of their success.
Learn and Perfect a Skill
At the center of every successful business is an entrepreneur with an exceptional skill that customers or other businesses need. In the case of Facebook and Microsoft, for instance, both possessed exceptional skills in coding and programming. For a restaurateur, he may possess skill as an exceptional chef. And for some people, their perfected skill is simply the ability to lead, and to inspire others to work for them.
Start Out Small
Many new entrepreneurs entertain big dreams, before envisioning their smaller goals – perhaps a five-star restaurant, or a graphic design business. However, it's always best to feel out the market on a smaller scale before expanding. That might mean starting with just one location, or it might mean a food truck instead of a restaurant, or freelancing instead of running a fully staffed business.
Secure Capital
Successful entrepreneurs also secure capital, whether it's from a bank, angel investor, or friends and family, before jumping in headfirst while bills keep coming. By securing capital first, an entrepreneur has a budget to fully invest in the business.
With this investment, the entrepreneur can purchase equipment, hire help, and jumpstart branding. Smart entrepreneurs also save as much of the capital as possible to bail the business out of trouble, should the need arise.
Build Brand
Another way to ensure success as entrepreneurs is to build a buzz for your brand, by engaging in public relations practices. This includes marketing at a grassroots level, through taking part in local events, building a strong presence on social media, and interacting with current and potential customers. It might also involve securing professional help from PR experts who can connect you with big publication opportunities.
Learn to Cut your Losses
The old Kenny Roger's song goes, "You've got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away. And know when to run." To become successful, entrepreneurs need to know when to cut their losses and walk away from a failed venture.
Walking away at the right time can mean the difference between leaving with nothing but debt, and leaving with enough capital to start a whole new – and better – business than the last.
There are many obstacles piled high against entrepreneurs which prevent them from winning against larger and more established businesses in the market. But with these tips, an entrepreneur can turn even a failed idea into the rebirth of a new and better business idea.

The patented construction of NWKC's Merino Dual Cloth starts on a flat knitting machine, using three separate yarns to create two distinct layers.
The first yarn, making up the face layer of the fabric, is 100% fine merino wool from Sudwolle in Germany, made for high-performance stretch and recovery, also machine washable. There is not another mill in the world able to spin merino yarns to this degree of quality and function.
The second yarn, making up the reverse layer of fabric, is a cotton/poly blend produced by Tuscarora in North Carolina. This provides interior comfort and complements the face yarn's stretch and recovery capabilities.
The third yarn is a Spandex blend that interlocks between stitches formed on the face and reverse layers. Used for stability and durability of the two main layers, Spandex allows for the wool and cotton to coexist without sacrificing performance of either layer.
This patented method of construction and exclusive combination of yarn is built for versatility in casual and active wear. With its high points of stretch and recovery, effortless care, and a clean aesthetic, the Merino Dual Cloth is an unequaled fabric no doubt worthy of resurrection.
