Supreme Court Injects Reason into Immigration Felony Definition
Released on Tue, Jun 15, 2010
On June 14, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court voted unanimously in Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder that a lawful permanent resident who is convicted of minor drug possession offenses does not warrant classification as having been convicted of an "aggravated felony." As a result, the Court held that Mr. Carachuri-Rosendo cannot be deported without an opportunity to make a case for why he should be allowed to remain in the United States. Please view the press release directly below, and you can also read about this case on our Supreme Court Update page.

text: MSNBC Denies Bias After Andrea Mitchell Lashes Out at GOP Over Immigration Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 11 Jul 2013 post a comment Andrea Mitchell appearing on MSNBC and declaring John McCain "heroic" over his position supporting immigration reform is not out of character for her. Nor is it odd that Mitchell would blast GOP foes of immigration reform and say they "ought to be ashamed." Andrea Mitchell leans left and regularly uses her weekday show on MSNBC to drive her agenda. What makes the moment newsworthy (you can watch the video below), though, is that when asked about it by Politico's Dylan Byers, MSNBC denied Mitchell had taken a position on immigration: "Andrea has not taken a position on this issue," said Erika Masonhall, the director of NBC News communications. "In the full context of her comments, she was noting that business and agriculture interests, clergy, and labor communities have all said the current policy is unsustainable, and that there is no economic argument for doing nothing or only adding to border security. -- -- Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Welcome to our home page. We are a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants based in Derby and dedicated to looking after the needs of small and medium sized businesses and individual taxpayers.
If you are looking for a proactive firm to help you keep more of your income then please contact us. A meeting can be arranged free of charge to discuss your requirements.
Whilst the demands of modern business ensure that we offer a wide-ranging and innovative approach, we firmly believe in maintaining a traditional personal service.
Our clients have the confidence of knowing who is looking after their affairs and that they are able to communicate with them.
We offer a range of accountancy, auditing and taxation services and welcome new clients and those thinking of starting their own business and in need of positive and constructive advice.
. . . proactive business strategies
If you are starting your own business, running it as a sole trader is the quickest and easiest way to do it. However, you will have unlimited liability which means you are personally responsible for business debts.
Another important aspect is that you are taxed on all the profits with little opportunity for tax planning. This is why most businesses will incorporate when business profits increase.
We can assist in all aspects of self-employment, from choosing the best time to start the business, the best time for your year-end, support you through the initial business registration and provide advice on all aspects of tax. We will also advise what business records should be kept. We provide a range of compliance services for sole traders:
• Accounts for HMRC • Completion of self assessment tax return and calculation of tax liability
• Completion of VAT returns, Payroll Services & Construction Industry scheme return submissions
• Tax planning – ongoing analysis of tax saving opportunities (eg. incorporation)
If you wish to know more about our Sole Trader service or would like to arrange a free initial meeting, please contact us on 01332 202660 or send an email.
Partnerships are similar to sole trades, except that they are used when more than one person wishes to own the business.
Each partner's profit share is determined by the partners and it is best practice to record this in a formal partnership agreement.
With partnerships each partner has joint and several liability for the debts of the partnership, so that if one partner cannot pay their share of any business debts, the debt will fall on the other partners.
Even the strongest relationships can suffer in difficult times and disagreements can arise over time. Setting up a partnership agreement from the outset is essential. Our compliance services include:
• Annual accounts for HMRC
• Completion of individual & partnership self assessment tax returns and calculation of tax liability
• Completion of VAT returns, Payroll Services & Construction Industry scheme return submissions
• Tax planning – ongoing analysis of tax saving opportunities (eg. incorporation)
If you wish to know more about our Partnership service or would like to arrange a free initial meeting, please contact us on 01332 202660 or send an email.

An Introduction to the Tax System for the Self Employed
You must register with HMRC within the first three months of self employment.
In calculating taxable profits you are entitled to claim deductions from your business income in respect of any expenses incurred for the purposes of trade (with a few minor exceptions). When you buy equipment for your business, you will be entitled to deduct the full cost (up to a maximum of £500,000 per year from 6.4.2014)
Tax is payable on the whole of the profits of a trade and the aim of the system is that over the lifetime of your business the profits will be taxed once, and once only.
How is the tax collected? - Tax returns covering income for the year ending 5 April 2014 have to be submitted to HMRC by the 'filing date' which is 31 January 2015 for online returns.
Payment of tax - Payments on account of income tax and Class 4 NIC will be due on 31 January 2014 and 31 July 2014. These interim payments will be based on one half of the total liability for 2012-13. The balance of income tax for 2013-14 is due on 31 January 2015 (along with the first interim payment for 2014-15 and any capital gains tax for 2013-14). Interest and surcharges will be levied for late payment.
The self-employed are subject to a two-tier system of national insurance contributions. Class 2 NICs are aligned with self assessment liabilities. Profits between certain limits are subject to Class 4 NICs and payable at the same time as the instalments of tax.
Employed or Self Employed? (Part 1)
The question as to whether someone is employed or self employed is not as straightforward as it might at first appear. Many people assume they are free to choose, but HM Revenue & Customs emphasises that this is not the case.
How do you decide? - Although there is no clear-cut answer to this question, HM Revenue & Customs considers areas such as: • Ultimate control of the work • Profit element, and risk of loss • Provision of materials and equipment • Integration with the employer's business • The intention between the parties • Usual conditions in the industry.
The employer has responsibility for determining employment status.
What are the practical differences? - Employees are taxed under the PAYE system and are liable to Class 1 national insurance (NI) contributions. If the worker is an employee, the employer also has to pay Class 1 NI.
Employees have rights under health and safety and employment laws, such as the rights to redundancy payments and not to be unfairly dismissed. Moreover, the range of social security benefits is greater for employees than for the self employed.
Self employed workers are taxed under self assessment and are allowed more scope in claiming expenses. They also pay Class 2 and Class 4 NI contributions, the combined burden of which is lower than Class 1 NI. Their 'employers' are not subject to NI.
Employed or Self Employed? (Part 2)
What if you are wrong? - It is the responsibility of the person making the payment to get it right. If you treat a worker as self employed and he or she is subsequently ruled to be an employee, you could find that all the payments you have made will be treated as net payments, and you will have to pay the corresponding tax and employees' NI, as well as the employer's NI. You have no right in law to recover such items from your employees after the event.
Can you create conditions to favour self employment? - If you want to substantiate a classification of a worker as self employed, we strongly recommend that you have drawn up and enforce a suitable contract defining the services provided. In line with the tests referred to above, you will need to give particular consideration to the following points:
Pricing - One of the main requirements is that self employed workers bear some element of risk in the arrangement, which means you will have to avoid the 'hourly rate', in favour of a 'price for the job'.
Workmanship - Within reason, the more freedom the worker has in the detail of the way the work is carried out the better. You must also make it clear that the worker will have to put right any faulty work at his or her own expense.
Substitution - One of the strongest tests of self employment is the right to substitute a worker who is equally capable of carrying out the work.
Insurance - ll self employed workers should hold public liability insurance.
Provision of equipment - Where practical, the worker should supply at least some of the important equipment or tools.
Guide to Self Employed Expenses (Part 1)
Any expenses must be applicable to the running of your business. The general rule is that a self employed person cannot deduct expenses unless they are 'wholly and exclusively' laid out for the purposes of the trade, profession or vocation. Keeping up-to-date and accurate records from the start is important for your business.
What records to keep - Anything to do with your business such as cashbooks, invoices, mileage records, bank statements, receipts for purchases, CIS vouchers.
How to keep your records - Either on paper or on computer. For electronic records you must save information in a readable format. As a general rule keep records for six years.
Allowable expenses - In most cases it will be clear if something has been incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of business - provided a receipt has been kept as proof of purchase, a deduction should be allowed. Two tables of the most common allowable (and disallowable expenditure) are shown below (Tables 1 & 2)
However, a newly established business is often run from home, perhaps using an existing car for any business travelling that is required and an existing mobile phone for business calls. This can cause problems, because of the 'duality' of purpose, inherent in many such costs. It is therefore necessary that you can clearly identify and separate the expenditure between business and private purposes. In Part 2 we look at these particular elements in detail.
Guide to Self Employed Expenses (Part 2)
Motoring expenses - If you use a car both for business and privately, you can claim a proportion of the running costs n the ratio of your business mileage to your total mileage. You must keep a log of business mileage as well as copies of all bills/receipts to calculate the appropriate deduction.
You can alternatively use a fixed rate per business mile to compute vehicle expenses instead of keeping detailed records of actual expenditure. It is available if the annual turnover of a business is less than the VAT registration threshold.
Use of home as office - Where a room at home is used wholly and exclusively for business purposes, a deduction may be claimed for a portion of: insurance, council tax, mortgage interest, rent, repairs and maintenance, cleaning, heat, light and power, broadband and telephone.
Administrative costs, including mobile phone - You can deduct the administrative costs of running your business, including advertising, stationery, postage, telephone and fax. You may also be able to deduct the cost of trade or professional journals or subscriptions.
Disallowed expenses - Some expenses are never allowable for tax purposes, for example, entertaining clients, even if such entertainment directly led to new business.
Private expenditure is also non-allowable expenditure - some examples: ordinary 'civilian' clothing, food for sustenance, having somewhere to live.
Allowable / Non Allowable Expenses (Table 1)
Allowable / Non Allowable Expenses (Table 2)
Should You Form a Limited Company?
Recent tax changes have made it even more important to consider carefully, when running a business, whether it is best to trade as:
• Sole trader – an individual
• Partnership – two or more individuals or companies
• Limited company • Limited liability partnership
We are often asked, 'Should I form a Limited Company?' The reality is that there is no easy answer. Each situation has to be judged individually. As well as the obvious issues of tax and national insurance contributions (NICs), there are other potentially relevant factors, such as: • The nature of the business and its expected rate of growth • The degree of commercial risk • Administrative obligations • Personal preferences • Pensions and retirement
In the early years of a business, the privacy of operating as a sole trader or partnership may be attractive. Business funds can be used at will with fewer restrictions than in an incorporated environment. However, we are considering here the features of a limited company. A company is a completely separate legal entity subject to two main areas of regulation – tax and company law. This planning guide looks at some of the advantages and disadvantages of trading as a limited company.
Possible advantages of incorporation
• Incorporation normally provides limited liability. If a shareholder has paid fully for his or her shares, he or she cannot normally be required to invest any more in the company. Although companies with bank borrowings often have to provide directors' personal guarantees, the protection of limited liability will generally apply in respect of liabilities.
• A company enjoys legal continuity - it can own property, sue and be sued.
• Effective ownership or part ownership of the business may be readily transferred, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association.
• Shareholders can be paid in dividends (currently free of NICs)
• Growing businesses can re-invest profits after an overall tax charge of 20%.
• Accumulated funds could be withdrawn on a sale of shares with the benefit of capital gains tax (CGT) Entrepreneurs' relief which reduces the effective CGT rate to 10%.
• Corporate status is sometimes thought to add to the commercial respectability of the business.
• Employees may be offered an opportunity to buy their own stake in the business.
• The National Minimum Wage does not apply to directors (as they are office holders)
Potential disadvantages of incorporation
• Formation of a company incurs administrative costs.
• Customers and suppliers must be informed of a change to limited company status.
• The tax position arising on the incorporation of an existing business needs careful analysis. It may be possible to defer capitals gains tax on the transfer of goodwill etc.
• A company's accounts must be filed on public view with the Registrar of Companies.
• Funds withdrawn from a company normally give rise to tax liabilities.
• Remuneration for directors is subject to both employee's and employer's National Insurance liabilities. Both the company and its directors are liable to NIC on many benefits in kind, and a form P11D must be prepared for each director.
• Tax on directors' remuneration paid monthly is payable on the 19th of the following month through the PAYE system, and corporation tax is payable nine months and one day after the end of a company's accounting period. For a sole trader or partnership, tax is generally paid by instalments on 31 January and 31 July on the current year basis.
• Companies pay tax on capital gains at their corporation tax rate. In a company, a capital gain is reflected in the value of its shares and if these are sold a "double charge" to capital gains tax can arise.
• An individual has greater flexibility in dealing with trading losses.
Forming a Limited Company 1
It is advisable to use a formation agent for this. You first need to decide on the following:
• Whether the company is to be a private or public company limited by shares, or a private company limited by guarantee • The purpose of the company and its capital requirements • Whether the proposed company name is available and acceptable.
An application to form a company is made on Form IN01. This has to be accompanied by a Memorandum of Association (see below), the Articles and the correct registration fee.
The Memorandum of Association is a short document, serving the limited purpose of evidencing the intention of each subscriber to form a company.
New Model Articles have been introduced. There are three types, as follows:
• Private company limited by shares • Private company limited by guarantee • PLC
In practice, companies can be formed using either Model Articles, Model Articles with amended provisions, or bespoke Articles. Companies incorporating as limited by shares (whether private or public) must complete a statement of capital and initial shareholdings as part of the formation documentation. The statement of capital is a new document. It is a 'snapshot' of a limited company's issued share capital at a given time. It also needs to be provided is part of the application to incorporate and with each annual return.
Forming a Limited Company 2
Directors - A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. For each director who is an individual, the following information must be provided:
• full forename and surname, any former name(s) used for business purposes, including maiden name(s) and previous married name(s) • full service address including town, county and postcode (for the public record) • usual residential address • country/state of residence • date of birth, nationality, occupation • the number of shares, if any, the director is to have in the company
Shareholders - The following information must be provided in relation to each shareholder: • full forename(s) • surname • full address including town, county and postcode • the number of shares the shareholder is to have in the company
Directors' Service Addresses - Directors (and company secretaries where applicable) of both existing and new companies now have the right to set out a service address rather than their usual residential address. The service address may be the company's registered office. Individual companies have to maintain two registers of directors – one containing, amongst other things, a service address for each director, and a further register containing the residential address of each director (protected information).
Forming a Limited Company 3
Post incorporation matters - First meeting of directors. Once you receive the Certificate of Incorporation, you should hold a first meeting of directors to deal with the following matters:
• appointment (if appropriate) of a chairperson, managing director, and any additional directors, and approval of any employment contracts • issue of share certificates and, if appropriate, allotment of further shares • approval of banking arrangements • disclosure by directors of their interests in any contracts made with the Company • adoption of an accounting reference date • convening of a general meeting (if required)
First general meeting - A first general meeting of the company is required:
• to approve any substantial property transaction between the Company and any of its directors
• to approve any directors' service contracts to be entered into for terms exceeding five years
Returns - After the first board meeting, the following returns to be made to the Registrar:
• Form SH01 (Return of allotments of shares) • If necessary Form AA01 (change of accounting reference date).
Other matters • Minutes of the first board and general meeting should be prepared • The Company should issue share certificates.

About the ManufacturerThe roots of Heartwood extend back to 1992 when Lynda and Jerry Glass began a small Saturday craft show business attending local "festival days" across Mississippi. Their unique products were overwhelmingly received. After a few years, nature products were added, and because of demand, became the only items made. Full attention was then given to these products and they enjoyed much local success. A local merchant picked up the line from Heartwood and suggested its products could be marketed nationally. Wonderful friends provided further encouragement, and in 1998 Heartwood took its products to "market" in Atlanta.

" My oga at the top " - five words that have caused a frenzy in all of Nigerian social media the past few days. It's gotten so big that there are even "my oga at the top" tee shirts, amongst the hilarious array of memes and interestingly captioned photos. So, it's really not surprising when we woke up this morning to an inbox full of "My Oga At The Top" remixes, from songs to videos, videos spoofs and mash-ups.
Just in case you are 'carrying last' and don't know about this social media trend, My Oga at the top {click here}.
Now for those who do know, we thought it just wouldn't be right if we didn't share some of the delights we found online, most especially this super-catchy remix video of the interview.

Training is looking good bro! When do you test your 1RM?
Printable View
Training is looking good bro! When do you test your 1RM?
strong benching as always!
Great job throughout JK.
Friday 9/14/12 - Squat
135 x some
Working Sets (added belt and wraps)
430(90%) x 2 x 3 sets
Pause Squats:
Hanging Leg Raises:
I love the fact that 430 for a double was EASY! Gonna see a big PR in 6 weeks! Wanting to go over 500 for the first time. The pause squats were something I've never tried so I went light and I really liked them. I finally took some video of my lifts today so I'll post that in little bit as soon as I upload it. Hard to believe I was squatting 405 for a max about 9 months ago.
Strong squats!!!
squats have come a long way Jk, putting some fine work in my friend
Just expect some PR's when you test your 1RM!!! lol
Saturday 9/15/12 - Bench Assistance
Bench (60% for 10 with 45 seconds rest between sets):
Barbell Rows:
185x10x4 sets
Inverted Rows:
BW x 10 x 3 sets
Band Pushdowns/Dbell Curls Superset:
3 sets
I think I am going to increase the weight on my low rest sets to 225 when I hit 50 reps with 205. Other than that, nothing much to say. Pretty typical uper assistance.
Great working sets with your squats, nice job with the following effort.
Good job on the assistance work!
technique is everything in this game! Like what you're doing with the bench assistance days a hell of a lot. Still think its deceptively clever and effective! (as you can tell i'm easily amused)
Sunday 9/23/12 - The week's work
Monday - Deload Deadlift
Didn't pull. Just did some light GHRs and some mobility work
Wednesday through Friday
Had to be out for town for a conference so no lifting (small town with no gym. at least not one with a bench!). Friday night I did deload squats. 6x3 @ 240 and some light assistance.
Saturday - Deload Bench
5x5 @ 185 and some light assistance
So....life is crazy busy for the next 2 weeks and I'm left with no choice but to combine squat/dead workouts to at least get them in. I'll also have to shift days so I'm planning on squatting and pulling today. We'll see how it goes.
its better than getting nothing in at all JK! do work!
Sunday 9/23/12 - Deadlift
Deadlift (sumo):
Working Sets (added belt)
465 (90%) x 2 x 3 sets
GHR/Hanging Leg Raise Superset:
bw x 10 x 3 sets each
So a couple changes. First of all, I found a hole in my schedule later this week to get my squat workout in so no need to combine them! Happy about that. Second, yes I switched back to sumo. Straight up my sumo is better than my conventional. Last time (3-4 weeks ago) that I pulled this weight in this rep/set scheme I did it conventional and BARELY got my reps. Today, the weights were exploding off the floor. It literally felt like I could have gotten 10 with this weight. I switched to conventional half way through my last cycle because I had a bad day pulling sumo. I should have stuck to my guns and realized it was just a bad day but like many of us on here, I will do anything I can to up my total so I switched to conventional at the last minute and my total suffered. Lesson learned.
Nice job JK! I wish I could pull sumo as adequately as I could conv.! I think it's more a technical skill and looks cooler haha! Whatever you feel more comfortable doing and lift the most weight is always gonna be the way to go in the end though! Good to see you killing those weights this time round!
Nice work bro! Get it in when you can, I'll be doing that next month because my schedule will change at home. Stick with what works!!!
JK, if you're switching styles and your max is higher, be sure to update the # on the spreadsheet and stay on track. No sense on working #'s based on a max that's not really a max anymore!
Good deal with the pulling.

This is definately one of my HGs. I have fair skin and when I wear this, it livens my face up and I don't look so sallow. I have rebought this product 3 times already. The only thing that I wish was better about it is that i wish that you got more for the money. It seems that I run out of this so fast, and I only use it like twice a week when I really need that pick me up to my face, or going shopping or something. Love love love this thou!! <3 I will keep buying until they stop making it (which i REALLY hope they never do!!!)
<3 <3 <3
I bought this after an impromptu counter make over, along with pore professional.
That Gal looked good on the make over but on getting it home and trying it myself, I can't really see the point.
Whether that's because I'm doing it wrong, being too subtle with it, or whether the effect just didn't work on me without the super bright shop lighting, I don't know.
Whatever the reason, I won't bother buying again because I can't see the point.

Just an OK primer. It doesn't fresh up my face like the BA claimed. I mixed it with the liquid foundation for the dewy look. Will not buy again.

This product was a waste of money. Its usless, it peels off and its yogurth smell makes me sick. Didn't notice any difference in my make up, this product is just a joke!

I originally only wanted to buy the professional balm, but the lady at the counter recommended mixing the professional and that gal together, under my foundation. She was demonstrating this on another lady at the time and her skin did to lovely and smooth. After buying them both and taking them home to try i was a bit unsure as i didn't think it made much of a difference to my skin before my make up was on. However, once my make up was all finished, good god i was impressed. My huge pores looked so much smoother and filled in. PLus it stayed put all day. That gal smells lovely and comes in a really good packaging which enables you to control the amount that comes out. I'll be definitely re buying once iv run out.
first of all, i don't know what primers are suppose to do so i don't know how to rate it. but i gave it 4 lippies because:
-it has a nice smell
-the bottle is super cute
-you can control the amount so well
i have read many reviews on primers, and from what i read- primers shall give your foundation a long-lasting, and control oil.
My foundation does last with this primer. But my face still gets oily during the day (i have normal/combination skin)
Since i live in New Zealand, which Benefit makeup is no where to be found unless i order it online. so i won't be repurchasing. however, i would buy it again if there is a Benefit store here :)
I have light skin so this product works well for me. I especially like it when I use my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (Nude) to give it a little bit of glow, rather than the slightly flat look that tm's often have. My favorite use is on my cheekbones on top of cream blush to soften and add a bit of gleam, which is flattering on my--ahem--mature face.
I first tried this product three years ago in a sample, and didn't really like the effect much... However, I purchased the set of minis exclusive to Sephora, that came with this, a Stay Don't Stray and a Porefessional. And, must say, now using it frequently I love this product!
I usually use less than a pea size amount for my whole face, apllying with my fingers - it blends beautifully and creates an almost cangle light glow. When I use my heavier foundations on top of it, I notice they become much more natural in finish. As for a primer, I don't think it does such an amazing job at keeping everything in place for a long time; but it does help a little bit.
However, my favorite² way to use it is mixing it with a little bit of porefessional! I make a half-half mix and use it even when I'm not wearing foudation or concealer, just for a little peak-me-up glow. It looks SO natural, not too glowy or matte. Just perfect! The both together are my holy grail all over luminizer.

I love this primer. Recently I've been on the hunt for a great foundation...returning each one as it looked cakey, fine lines showed, pores show etc. What I didn't know was that is wasn't the foundation that was the problem.....it was the wrong primer underneath. Well, now that I'm using this primer, I've tried it with my prior unacceptable foundations and guess what.......the foundations are now great! This primer has really made a difference in how my foundation goes on, stays on and it leaves a beautiful finish. Thank you so much to the Ulta makeup artist that suggested this for me.......she knows her stuff!
Highly recommended.

I love this stuff, but I definitely think that it looks best on pale skin. I had the hardest time finding a good product to brighten up my dark face without bringing out my strong yellow undertones, but this works so well! If you're into Pin Up looks or matte bright red lips with toned down eyes, this is absolutely a must have. Unlike "Girl Meets Pearl", this has much more of a smooth matte/satiny finish. It gives my cheeks a very subtle glow and a slight pink flush that is really pretty. After I use MAC's Wedge to contour my cheeks, I tap this into the apples of my cheeks starting from the side of my nose and blending my way out. It sets into my skin so nicely and never looks cakey. It has definitely become a staple in my makeup routine and I'm going to keep buying it.

2013 Juneau Christmas Bird Count
The Juneau Christmas Bird Count for 2013 was held on Saturday, January 4, 2014. The designated count period runs from December 14th through January 5th. This marks the 114th year of the CBC, with counts planned across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Here in Juneau, this was our 41th count. History of the Christmas Bird Count
2013 Juneau Xmas Bird Count Report
American Tree Sparrow -- Mark Schwan
2012 Christmas Bird Count -- By Mark Schwan
The Juneau Christmas Bird Count for 2012 was held on December 15. We again lucked out on the weather, as the prior day was absolutely miserable, but then conditions improved markedly for count day. Leading up to the count, we didn't expect a great diversity of birds, as wintery conditions for some time had pushed many lingering birds to the south.
Twenty eight field observers found 66 species and 12,183 individual birds on count day, plus an additional ten species were located during the other days of our count week (see attached table). Our total count of individual birds was above average but this was the case only because of a record smashing number of mallards; many species were seen in low numbers. All the common species that have been seen on the previous 39 counts were found once again. The biggest highlights of the count day included a Snowy Owl on the wetlands found by Nick Hajdukovich and Amy Clark Courtney, and the Sooty Grouse found by Julie Coghill near the Treadwell Ditch on Douglas Island. Other highlights included the continued presence of the Swamp Sparrow near Temsco Helicopters, and a terrific variety of waterfowl on the wetlands and the lower Mendenhall River.
Again, we had the bird tally and potluck at our house at the end of the day; it was a very nice evening. Thanks to all who participated.
For more information or if you have questions, call Mark Schwan, at 789- 9841.

Unlike most schools, a child's mind doesn?t shut down as soon as it's summer. Luckily, Exploration DayZ's team steps in during these weeks away from the chalkboard, harnessing children's natural learning powers and pointing them towards new areas. They don?t work out of a regular school set up, though?they eschew traditional four-walled classrooms for the entirety of Greensboro. During day camps, counselors take groups to museums, parks, swimming pools, and other local destinations. Campers will also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in new cultures through activities, such as African dance lessons, that don?t involve loitering at international airport terminals.
Exploration DayZ's commitment to education extends beyond the summer as well. Their knowledgeable tutors work with students during after school programs, helping them complete homework or learn entirely new skills, such as a foreign language.
Food for Life Supreme partners with the University of Art and Logistics of Civilization (UALC) in hope of reversing unhealthy eating by providing organic, healthy spins on comfort foods. The eclectic menu, based on the book Food for Life: Transitional Recipes for Food Combining and Blood Typing, encourages creative, healthy eating and attentiveness to blood type. Stick a fork in the Trinity Salad, a trifecta of red onion, tomatoes, and croutons topped with Twinnette dressing ($3–$5), or sink fork-shaped teeth into the nonigneous Active Volcano sandwich, a preservative-free bread base that overflows with chopped whiting, freedom sauce, grilled peppers, onions, tomatoes, and melted cheese ($7). Entrees include the Croaker dinner, homemade sliced bread topped with bonefish and served with a choice of two sides, such as hush puppies, mac 'n' cheese, or mustard greens ($12).
Though many students come to Mathnasium having fallen behind their classmates, a mathematically advanced child sparked the learning program's creation. As founder Larry Martinek's young son, Nic, developed an appetite for higher-level math concepts, Larry found himself developing an entirely new teaching language to explain them in an age-appropriate way. The kind of instincts he sought to build up couldn't be nurtured by drills and rote memorization. Instead, they required a deeper understanding of the principles at the root of mathematical operations, delivered in a way that grade-school kids could apply throughout their academic careers.
In just a decade's time, Larry and his team have established Mathnasium centers in most U.S. states and more than a dozen other countries. At each, tutors who earned a 700 or higher on the math portion of the SAT develop custom learning plans for students in grades K–12 based on The Mathnasium Method. The system combines an education strategy of conceptual, tactile, and visual techniques with a curriculum structure that ensures kids can count, think proportionally, and tell the difference between a multiplication sign and a plus sign by scent alone. Tutors allow some time each session to help students with the concepts in their math homework, and the centers regularly check report cards and standardized tests as further measures of progress.
Founded in 1982, The Piedmont School is a place where children who are struggling in a traditional educationl environment can achieve their learning potential. Students in first through eighth grades attend the school's full-day and half-day programs.
The staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews.
Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. After-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.
