Emigration from Mexico
Emigration from Mexico is a migratory phenomenon that has been taking place in Mexico since the early 20th century.
Emigration from Mexico began timidly about a century ago, but experienced a significant increase since the 1960s. The immigration phenomenon, in the case of Mexico is diverse and varied through the country. This is due to the economic situation that applies mainly to poorer people, who seek better job opportunities in other countries. More than 11% of Mexico's native population lives abroad, making it the country with the most emigrants in the world. 98% of all Mexican emigrants reside in the United States, which are more than 12 million (legal and illegal) migrants. Estimates on the amount of Mexican emigrants of indigenous origin in the U.S. range between 50% and 90% of the entire emigrant population. There are no official numbers on the amount of indigenous Mexican migrants, as U.S. censuses do not cover these ethnicities. Recent reports by the Pew Research Center (February 2012) show that the current migratory flux from Mexico to the U.S. is just below a net zero, as more Mexicans leave the U.S. Economic problems are, overall, the little stability of Mexican peso exchange rate compared to the United States dollar. That is the reason for many Mexicans to leave their country and look for better salaries in the United States, so they can send dollars to their families in Mexico. This case, however, is mainly temporal, but many other end up residing there with their families eventually.
After the United States, Mexican immigrants are settled in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and other European countries, also American countries as Guatemala, Costa Rica, Cuba and Brazil, the Mexican Mennonites are settled to Colombia, Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina. In fact, there have been cases of Mexican employees in Ukraine and Saudi Arabia. These are cases of jobs applying building, or working at oil plants. Other case is by aliyaj in Israel, for religious motives of Mexican community.
Canada has also a program that involves hiring Mexican agricultural workers temporarily. And other countries also can hire Mexicans in professional assignments, such as science research or studying in colleges and universities, and other cultural exchanges. Artists, scientists, actors and more other show greatly the famous Mexican brain drain. However, recent years shown increased immigration to Mexico instead the other way around.[1]
Type of people and impact on Mexican society[edit]
Generally, the people who tend to leave the country to the United States are from lower-class backgrounds and of mestizo or indigenous ancestries. They primarily come from the following states: Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Guerrero, San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, Chiapas.[2] In these states it is not uncommon to see towns where men are absent, and are supposed to be working in the United States. While the women take care of their children, husbands send money (dollars) to their families in Mexico. This money, sent by Mexican workers abroad to their country, is called the Spanish "remesas", and the amount of it have become the second income that Mexico receives from other countries. (The first one is oil sales)
On the other hand, people from the educated middle-upper class, are usually criollo or other Mexicans of European descent and some of castizo descent, they emigrate to a few parts in the United States, and mostly emigrate to Canada and European countries; they're usually employed by companies, universities, or many of them start their own businesses abroad.
Traditionally, richer people with overwhelming income used to live in Mexico, but recent economic opportunities and advantages with international treaties, harassing, and threatening insecurity have made them leave the country.
Causes and origins[edit]
Following the Mexican–American War which was concluded by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, and later, the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, approximately 300,000 Mexican nationals found themselves living within the United States. Throughout the rest of the 19th century and during the early years of the 20th century, Mexican migration was not subject to any restrictions, and Mexicans were free to move across the border, and often did so, typically in order for them to work in professions such as the construction of the railway system, or as seasonal agricultural laborers. The immigration laws of the United States such as Emergency Quota Act during this time generally allowed exemptions for Mexico, while being more restrictive to citizens of the Eastern Hemisphere.[3]
Mexicans received special allowances under United States immigration law due to the importance of Mexican labor in the United States economy. One example of these allowances is the Immigration Act of 1917. Under this act, all potential immigrants would have to pass a literacy test and pay a head tax.[citation needed] At the request of growers in the southwest who depended on farm labor from Mexico, the Secretary of Labor waived those requirements for Mexican immigrants.[3] The groups interested in the availability of inexpensive labor ensured that the immigration laws in place throughout the early 20th century did not adversely affect the movement of Mexican migrants, in spite of calls on the part of some of the southern states' congressmen to put an end to the open border policies.[citation needed]
Effects of governmental policies on Mexican immigration in the U.S.[edit]
Restrictive regulations[edit]
The economic crisis of 1929 brought an abrupt end to the special allowances that had been allowed for Mexican immigrants.[4] With the beginning of the Great Depression, the worldwide economic slowdown and the desperate search for jobs within the United States, anti-immigration sentiment rose. Thousands of Mexicans were forced back across the border and barriers to future immigrants were constructed. From 1929 to 1931, legal Mexican immigration entries fell by 95%, and in the next ten years as many as 400,000 Mexican citizens were repatriated.[3]
More admissive regulations[edit]
The limitations on Mexican immigration lasted until the beginning of World War II, when the United States found itself short of labor. In 1942 the United States and Mexico instituted the Bracero program. Under this arrangement, millions of Mexican laborers were contracted to complete agricultural work in the United States. While under contract they were given housing and received a minimum wage. The program was intended to provide the United States with temporary workers while many working-aged men were away at war. In order to ensure that braceros did not stay in the United States, their wives and families were not allowed to accompany them in the U.S. Additionally, 10% of each worker's wage was withheld to be given back upon the worker's return to Mexico.
The Bracero Program allowed agribusiness access to a large pool of labor that had virtually no civil rights, and no recourse to address growing injustices. This inequity was seen in poor working conditions and the decrease in agricultural wages, which during the 1950s, actually dropped below the levels they were at during World War II.[citation needed] As the war ended, few returning soldiers returned to the jobs that the braceros were holding, and instead, they moved on to more industrial areas and reinforced the belief that immigrants take on the jobs that Americans would not be willing to do.
The Mexican government's participation and oversight of the treatment of their workers in this program declined over the years, despite remittances from the program that made up a large part of its domestic economy. The United States began encouraging braceros to cross into Mexico then return illegally to the United States.[citation needed] Upon return they could become legal citizens, and this eliminated any program contracts as well as the ability of the Mexican government to intervene in any future labor relations. In addition to this practice of creating legal citizens of former braceros, thousands of illegal immigrants were crossing the border in search of the opportunity promised by the idea of steady employment and eventual prosperity of the Bracero Program.
A return to a more closed border[edit]
In response to the growing number of Mexicans entering illegally, the United States government implemented Operation Wetback in 1954. Under the direction of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the Border Patrol began deporting Mexicans who were in the United States illegally, and up to one million Mexicans were deported. Operation Wetback ended not long after its launch, due to the complaints regarding the violence involved in the deportations, and the fact that in many cases children of immigrants who were United States citizens were deported with their parents.[5]
Continuing migration[edit]
Although the Bracero Program ended in 1964, the migration of Mexican workers did not. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 which had put limits on the total number of visas granted, was amended in 1965 following the termination of the Bracero Program. These amendments put an end to the quota system, and instead, created a total number of visas allowed to the Western Hemisphere. Exceptions to that total number were granted to spouses, minors and parents of United States citizens. However, the total allotment of 120,000 in 1965 still was not enough to address the demand for visas from Mexico. By 1976, there was a two-year waiting period for any eligible applicant from the Western Hemisphere before they could receive a visa.[3]
Displaced workers in northern Mexico[edit]
A contributing factor to the persistently high numbers of migrants from Mexico was the creation of the Border Industrialization Program in 1965. The termination of the Bracero Program in 1964 had led to both a shortage of workers willing to work for lower wages in the United States, and a high population of displaced workers at the northern Mexico border. The result of this imbalance in the supply and demand of labor in the two countries in turn led the creation of this new agreement that allowed the construction of foreign-owned factories in northern Mexico. These factories are referred to as maquiladoras or maquilas, and provided both Mexico and the United States with a number of benefits. The factories provided Mexico with a way to increase its manufactured exports to the United States, and in return, the United States received tax benefits for placing its factories within Mexico. For example, the equipment imported into Mexico to be used in the factories was not subject to import taxes, and the final product was only taxed on the value that was added at the factory, rather than the entirety of the item.[6]
The creation of the maquilas program provided jobs to the displaced Bracero Program workers and allowed the United States to continue to use labor from Mexico, which was less expensive than labor in the United States. The popularity of this program is evident in the incredible increase in the number of maquilas in operation: in 1967 there were 57 maquiladoras operating in Mexico; less than ten years later in 1976, that number had increased to 552. The rise in the number of available jobs in the region led to an extreme swell in the population of the border towns. The maquiladora industry employed 4000 people in 1967, and by 1981 that amount grew to more than 130,000.[7] The maquilas drew the population north to the border in search of employment opportunities, but in many cases the northward pull did not stop there. The proximity of the United States with its markedly higher standard of living continued to pull the people who had migrated to border region even farther north, and led to higher numbers of migrants crossing the United States – Mexico border.
Amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act continued throughout the 1970s. In 1976 the United State Congress imposed a limit of 20,000 visas per country per year in the Western Hemisphere. At that time Mexico was exceeding that amount by approximately 40,000. In 1978 a new amendment was put in place that enacted a worldwide immigration policy, allowing 290,000 visas per year total, with no limitations per country.
The end of the Bracero Program combined with restrictions put on the number of visas allowed by the United States greatly increased the levels of illegal migration from Mexico.[3] As a response, in 1986 the United States enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). Under this act, all undocumented migrants living in the United States as of January 1, 1982, as well as those who had labored in the seasonal agriculture work for at least ninety days during the previous years were granted legal residence. IRCA also made it possible to impose civil and criminal penalties on any employer who knowingly hired undocumented workers. Although a legalization of current undocumented workers, coupled with the increase in penalties suffered by employers who employed future undocumented workers was meant to decrease the total number of undocumented migrants in the United States, the actions did not produce the desired effect; as is evidenced by the number of apprehensions achieved through border patrolling.
Recent trend reversal in migration Mexico-U.S.[edit]
Still today, Mexico is the country with the most emigrants in the world, but during the last few years, migratory patterns from Mexico to the United States have changed. A report by the Pew Research Center (February 2012) has shown that for the first time in 60 years, migration trends have reversed, as more Mexicans leave the U.S. than enter it.
Reasons for trend reversal[edit]
Several major factors seem to contribute to a general sense among Mexican migrants that there is less profit and more danger to migrate to the U.S., leading many of them to decide that it is better to leave the U.S. or stay in Mexico:[8]
- The 2008–2012 economic crisis of 2008 has led to a decline of work opportunities in the U.S., meaning that many immigrants who came to the U.S. for work can not find any. Access to social security, healthcare and education has also become more difficult.
- The economic situation in Mexico has become better, ensuring better access to healthcare, education, and jobs. This reduces the incentive for Mexicans to leave the country.
- Since 2010, U.S. legislation on illegal immigration has been reinforced, as several American states criminalized illegal immigration. Deportations under the Obama administration have reached record numbers.
- During the last few years, violence associated with drug cartels and organized crime has been on the rise in Northern Mexico, making the routes for passing the border more dangerous.
- Mexicans and Americans Thinking Together (MATT) conducted 600 in-depth, in person interviews of migrants who returned to the Mexican state of Jalisco, that found family reasons and nostalgia are the primary cited reasons for return migration Mexico. The research also found that of the interviewed migrants who moved back to Mexico, only about 11% were forced to leave the United States due to being deported. 75% of the respondents cited that their reasons for return migration were self-motivated.[9]
Developments in Mexico[edit]
Mexican source communities, mostly indigenous villages, are most often poor and rely heavily on the emigration of a part of their members and the remittances they send back to survive economically. Emigration can function as an escape valve to alleviate economical pressure, as it is a source of income and opens up work opportunities in villages of origin.[10] The return of many migrants now thus causes great stress on these communities, who are heading for economic crisis, as important sources of income fall away and more people become unemployed as there is less work available. The states most affected by this phenomenon try to take action to help those who come back, but the full economical impact of the return of migrants is still to come.[8]
Since emigrants are coming back to their mostly poor home communities, sending them into economic crisis, another migration phenomenon is accelerating: internal migration. The lack of work opportunities in small villages drives people to migrate to large cities, rather than to the U.S.. With 78% of the Mexican population living in urban zones, slums are growing fast. Urban violence and crime, stunted growth, malnutrition, poor elementary education, poor hygiene and sanitation are just some of the implications of life in urban slums. According to UNICEF, urban migration has badly worsened the reach of social schemes of health and nutrition.[11]
Among communities of origin, there is a widespread ambivalence towards migrants, as the money they send back is welcome, but there is resentment against the cultural changes that they bring with them when they come back. Returning migrants are blamed for bringing with them drug use, sexually transmitted diseases, and antisocial behavior. They are held responsible for the abandonment of the traditional indigenous way of life as they bring back western cultural habits and material culture. The return of migrants to Mexico thus has important cultural repercussions and changes the face of their home communities forever.[10]
Developments in the U.S.[edit]
In the U.S., Hispanics account for 54% of labor force and there is a large market for cheap day-laborers. These sectors constitute a non-negligible part of the U.S. economy and traditionally are not filled by U.S. citizens. With the current migration trends, within a few years, Mexico will not be able to cover the labor demand of its neighbor anymore. Migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to the U.S. is rising, as their migrants begin to replace the Mexican workers. It is however unclear whether other Hispanic American countries follow these trends, and it is unsure whether the gap left by returning Mexican will be filled. Experts say the consequences for the U.S. economy may be important.[8]
Under the Obama presidency, deportations of illegal immigrants have increased, as deportation procedures became more systematic and border controls were reinforced with police and military patrols. Several states, such as Arizona and Alabama, have passed laws that criminalize illegal migration. Proposed acts that offer easier paths to U.S. citizenship for immigrants, such as the DREAM-act, have been rejected.

Army Ordnance Corps
Army Ordnance Corps is an important administrative service of the Indian Army. Army Ordnance Corps took the shape of a self contained body on 18th of July, 1922.
Army Ordnance Corps is responsible for the procurement, manufacture, supply of all munitions of war, clothing, equipment and all general stores except fuel and rations. In the earlier period the Ordnance service was an off-shoot of the Train of Artillery and was later termed as the Military Train and Magazine Establishment. It was closely associated with the artillery in that its staff consisted entirely of gunners. The officers so selected had to serve for tenure in the Ordnance and the other personnel were first taken on probation for a short period and then posted permanently. In 1796 the service was re-constituted as the Ordnance Department. With the abolition of the Indian artillery after 1857 the Royal Artillery took over the provision of men for the Department. In each Presidency there was the Inspector General of Ordnance and Magazines besides a number of manufacturing centres and depots for the storage and distribution of munitions for the troops. There were ten factories for the manufacture of guns, carriages and other vehicles, gun ammunition and gun-powder. Small arms and ammunition were manufactured in the arsenals or brought from England.
History of Army Ordnance Corps
The history of the Army Ordnance Corps can be traced back to the 'Military Trains and Magazine Establishment", in the
British East India Company
's Artillery. On 8th of April 1885 a 'Board of Ordnance', was constituted in Bengal presidency, which for the first time formed an organisation that could effectively control all the stores of the Company's Army. The official history of the Army Ordnance Corps can thus be said to begin from this date. As a consequence of the 'Special Ordnance Commission - 1885' and 'Army in India Commission - 1879' set up post the First War of Independence in 1857, on 1st of April 1884 the Ordnance establishments in the three Presidencies were amalgamated into one department called the 'Ordnance Department in India'.
The department was under the immediate executive control of the Director General of Ordnance who was the official advisor to the Government of India and the Commander-in-Chief on all Ordnance matters. During the later part of the 19th century the department was further re-organised. At the end of the First World War the Indian Ordnance Department was re-organised and on 18th of July, 1922 the Ordnance Corps took shape as a self contained body having the status of a department and designated as the 'Indian Army Ordnance Corps'. With effect from 1st of April 1939, the Indian Army Ordnance Corps was made responsible for the entire technical maintenance of the Indian army in field.
With the increase in the demand for a large variety of ordnance stores and the consequent increase in the size of the department it was further re-organised in 1912 into three different but allied units for manufacture, storage and inspection. For this purpose three sections were created - factory, stores and inspection. Each of these was placed under a separate Director who was responsible directly to the Director General of Ordnance. This distribution of responsibilities was a step in the right direction and stood the test of war that followed soon after. An ordnance officer was also placed on the staff of each of the commands. This was done with a view to closely relate the demands of the users to the manufacturing agencies. An Indian Munitions Board was formed during the war. This was responsible for the control of ordnance factories, supply of Ordnance direct to the arsenals and depots overseas. The manufacture and supply of clothing, so far the responsibility of the army service corps was now taken over by the Munitions Board.
After the war the Munitions Board was abolished and the Indian Stores Department took its place. The Ordnance Department was divided into the Indian Ordnance Department and the Indian Army Ordnance Corps. The Director General of Ordnance in India was appointed the head of the Indian. The various factories were placed directly under his control. Military officers were replaced progressively by civilians and the factories were organised more on commercial and industrial lines. The Indian Army Ordnance Corps was administered by the Director of Equipment and Ordnance Stores under the direct control of the Quarter Master General in India.
Responsibilities of Army Ordnance Corps
The logistics function of the Army Ordnance Corps involves the mechanics of provisioning and procuring of all stores required to raise and maintain an efficient and effective fighting army. The aim of Army Ordnance Corps is to make available all kinds of stores to all units of the army at the right time, in right quantity, at the right place and right cost. Further, the inventory range covers every conceivable requirement of the soldier from clothing to weapons, from a needle to a tank and also all munitions except fuel, fodder and medicines. The inventory management functions involve provisioning, procurement, receipt, accounting, storage, issue, transportation and disposal of all clothing, equipment, weapons, vehicles, ammunition and spares of all kinds. Ammunition management is another important function of Army Ordnance Corps.
Munitions of war are now manufactured by the various depots and factories established all over India. When ready for use these are then transferred to the various holding depots.

On behalf of all of the jealous employees of Stork Craft, congratulations Brent and wear that jersey with pride!

Windfield and Watson Custom Car and Hot Rod Gathering 2010
The Windfield and Watson Custom Car and Hot Rod Gathering actually started as a low-key show hosted by Gene Windfield and Larry Watson at Gene's shop in Mojave, California, in October 2008. As all good things do, it grew and continues to grow, so much so that in 2010 it was a two-day event, Oct. 23-24, 2010. Unfortunately, 2010 was also the first time that the show had been presented since Larry Watson's passing, and there were plenty of people who used the event to pay their respects to the late car customizing legend.
This year, like in years past, people drove their custom cars from all over the country to be a part of the event. And there was even a group of pinstripers that flew in from Japan to attend the event. Of course, other hot rod and custom car legends like Bill Hines, Sam Foose, Thom Taylor and Blackie Gejeian were spotted making their rounds, checking out all of the cars that came from both near and far.
And if looking at all the great cars wasn't enough, there were booths set up all around the perimeter where you could get everything from books to pinstriped bongos and everything in between. There was also a food truck serving up tasty grub to the masses.
We only made it up for Saturday, but we did get to make it to the official cruise night that had been set up at the local Foster's Freeze complete with live music and more custom cars than could possibly fit in the parking lot. It was a perfect way give the folks who had ventured a long distance something to do other than just camp out in a hotel. Overall it was a great time, and you can bet that we'll be back this year.

Released: Oct 01st, 2005
Running Time: 76
Company: Kandi Peach Productions
Kandi (I), Renef, Nasty (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Pro-Am
This long running amateur swinger series would have no qualms about referring to this volume as one of the best and, frankly, most fun for the participants. Show up, sign a release, and get down and dirty says it all in this interracial event. Kandi, the busty swinger ringleader, and her sexy everyday friends thrive on attention from the camera. Rather than fuck with tradition, they once again end it with a double facial.
One obvious question would be to wonder how they got all those people on one bed without it breaking down. Good stuff.
Retailing: Amateur, swingers, interracial, gangbangs and MILF would be a few appropriate categories.

Released: Jul 01st, 1995
Running Time: 140
Director: Ed Powers
Company: 4-Play Video
Morgan (I), Justine (I), Olivia (I), Shayna Lyn
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Ed strikes gold with the latest installment, where the customary chat is followed by enough splat to keep the viewer satisfied -- until the next segment. Kind of like Chinese food, which is the main ingredient of Ed's vids anyway -- hot, horny Eurasians. Two of them, in fact, are well-toned redheads, which adds a delicious spice to the mix, though Morgan, the latter, will only go so far as to solo and jack him off. No phony scenarios for Ed! If the girls don't want to fuck him, he'll show it anyway. That takes balls.
Perhaps MDD 38 should've been subtitled the "butt fuck special," since Ed drills Shayna Lyn and Olivia in the ass with the repeatability of a nail gun. No frame-filling sphincter craters here - videography has never been his strong suit, but honest fucking has, which is why customers keep supporting the series. (That, plus nubile young girls.)
The "reality" policy applies no better than to the sequence with Justine -- a slim, tiny-boobed (but very pretty) Mexican-Navaho Indian, who just turned eighteen... and has only had sex with one guy. In fact, her pussy's never been eaten! In files Jesse St. Croix, a naturally busty brunette, to rectify the problem. Viewers bored with the usual over-the-top "pro" antics will find Justine's soft whimpers and yelps to be a refreshing alternative, and the action is just beginning, 'cause Ed delves in for round two. Clearly, Justine grows from a nervous little flower to a satisfied swinger in just about 20 minutes. That's magic. That's Dirty Debs! As always with this series, stock it.

KSDM0761: DM0761 Classic 7" Flexible Fillet
Shun Cutlery
Sometimes just the right amount of flex in your blade steel makes filleting fish easier. The knife conforms to the ribs of the fish, removing meat from bones quickly and easily. Removing skin from meat is easier, too. It works well for boning and trimming out poultry and other meat as well. The whole idea is more food with less waste (and, of course, you would make stock from the bones and leftovers, too). Shun Classic's hard VG10 steel doesn't have that flex, so our Flexible Fillet is made of AUS8A, a high-carbon stainless steel that offers strength, hardness, and wear resistance, as well as a small amount of flex.
Shun Classic's tasteful and contemporary designs feature beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles. Behind the knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering the most extreme performance possible. Shun's VG10 steel, known for its incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then bead-blasted, revealing the woodgrain pattern of the steel that allows the blade to slide easily through food. The result is knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold. Shun Classic also offers the widest assortment of both traditional blade shapes and cutting edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.
- Ebony-black PakkaWood handles specifically designed for premium applications
- Stainless-steel bolsters and end caps
- Dishwasher safe
- NSF approved
- Blade Length: 7"
- Handle: "D" shaped Ebony-black PakkaWood
- Made in Japan
UPC Code: 4901601359305
A very widely used EDC steel, AUS-8 can take a very nice edge while also maintaining moderate edge holding and corrosion resistance properties.
The exotic steel Capital of the World, Japan produces and innovates some of the best products, from pocket to kitchen knives and everything in between.
Provides a traditional, natural look and feel to a modern tool. Wood absorbs shock well and is popular in axe handles.

I'm somewhat entertained that opponent/national announcers seem to mention Ryan Madson much more than Reds announcers and fans ever do.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

A history of the Tour of Britain as it reaches Stoke-on-Trent
Posted: September 13, 2012
|Hordes of cycling fans are gathering to see Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish whiz through Stoke-on-Trent this morning, as the Tour of Britain passes through the city.
The Tour, one of the hottest races in the cycling calendar, sees 100 of the world's best riders tackle the nation's terrain come rain or shine, travelling to the heights of the Scottish Borders down to the famous Dartmoor climbs.
The fifth leg of the tour takes place in Stoke-on-Trent today. Read our guide here.
But where did it all begin for the Tour of Britain?
The Tour's origins date back to the 1940s, when World War Two sparked the return of bunch racing to the roads of Britain.
In 1942 a number of cyclists, led by a leading racer of the time Percy Stallard, defied the National Cyclists Union and conducted a mass road race from Llangollen to Wolverhampton.
A new body, the British League of Racing Cyclists (BLRC), developed on the back of the successful event.
According to the British Cycling website: "Stallard was a pragmatist. He knew that the war was going to radically change the social fabric of the country and he saw no reason why the ban on road racing shouldn't be put aside once and for all."
In the years that followed the BLRC went from strength to strength, organising a number of races including the Brighton to Glasgow event, from which the Tour of Britain grew.
The first Tour took place in 1951, and was won by Scottish cyclist Ian Steel.
Some 49 cyclists took part in the race. According to the Daily Express race report: "At 12 o'clock sharp, the starting flag dropped, the riders tensed, the wheels began to turn - and the first Tour of Britain was on its way".
Today The Tour, dubbed Britain's answer to the Tour de France, is the UK's biggest professional bicycle race, and the country's largest free-to-watch live sporting event.
The Tour of Britain as it is known today first took place in 2004, taking place over five days in early September. The race was won by Colombian Mauricio Ardila.
This year the riders will cover 838.8 miles (1,349.9 km) in total, making it the longest ever Tour.
To date, the modern Tour of Britain has yet to be won by a British rider, although stages have been won in the past by Roger Hammond, Paul Manning, Ben Swift, Alex Dowsett and the legendary Tour de France sprinter Mark Cavendish.

When orphan Pip meets the escaped convict Magwitch in an overgrown churchyard on the Kent marshes, little does he know that the incident will change his life forever? Some years later, now apprenticed to his blacksmith brother-in-law, Pip falls in love with the beautiful Estella. Her half-crazed and bitter guardian Miss Havisham, however, exerts a malign influence over the girl and forces a wedge between the two. Pip abandons his roots and, with 'great expectations' of becoming a gentleman, heads for London society. There he begins to receive riches from a mysterious benefactor... Pip's quest to find his true identity, and his growth to maturity through misfortune and misery, form the basis of this atmospheric tale starring Douglas Hodge, Geraldine McEwan and Amanda Redman.

"The Enchanters"
A classic of tortured souls. Dickens verbiage is beautiful, but I feel underlying sorrow in his books.
Wonderful dramatizisation! It made an old read new to me.

COLUMBIA — The Columbia School Board is leaning toward doing away with paper documents in favor of using laptops in upcoming meetings, at least on a trial basis.
District Chief Operations Officer Nick Boren suggested on Thursday morning that the board try a pilot program, in which members would use laptops and electronic files to prepare for and use during meetings in May, June and July.
Conversations about the possibility of such a program began in 2006 but were tabled the next year. Board member Karla DeSpain, who was president at the time, said discussions were tabled due to the high cost of the program and the difficulty of getting laptops.
In 2007, Boren said, the cost estimate of implementing a paperless program was about $36,000, with an annual software maintenance fee of about $9,000. The current proposal will pose no cost because members would use software already in use by the district and would be provided with seven laptops for use during meetings. Boren said he estimates the program would save about $3,000 per year in paper and labor costs.
The board would also benefit, Boren said. "Board members would have at their fingertips a history of all board meetings and documents associated with them," he said, "and new board members could log into their accounts and the archives would be readily available."
Not all members were convinced that going paperless would be the way to go.
James Whitt said he was concerned about the difficulty of going through documents and finding information electronically during meetings, but Boren said it has the potential to be more efficient and organized because board members could be in sync with presenters.
President Jan Mees questioned the timing of implementing this program when budget considerations and new member elections keep the board busy, but Christine King said she thought they should pilot the program now because every season is busy in its own way. "There's really no good time to make such a major change," she said.
The board will vote on whether to pilot the program at a later meeting.
Also at the meeting:
- In a 6-0 vote (Vice President Tom Rose was absent), members approved an amendment to the 2009-10 calendar changing May 21 from a full day of teacher collaboration to a combination early-release and teacher collaboration day. The amendment means that the last day of school will be June 4, instead of June 7, as had been planned because of using snow days.
- The board
voted 6-0 to authorize schools Superintendent Chris Belcher to submit a response to Google's "Request
for Information" for a trial location for Google
Fiber, an ultra-high speed broadband Internet network. Belcher will address the district's Internet capability and opportunities that could come from an expanded network.

Review quote
"Egyptologists frequently have little understanding of the prehistoric past, especially the paleolithic periods, and it is commendable that Midant--Reynes has included this overview." International Journal of African Historical Studies "... integrate[s] the prehistory of Egypt and Nubia through into the (Egyptian) Unification period, thus investigating the entire united Nile region and its flanking deserts in a logical but rarely encountered attempt to develop a cohesive picture ... In this the book succeeds admirably." Journal of African History
Back cover copy
This book covers the prehistory of the Nile Valley from Nubia to the Mediterranean, during the period from the earliest hominid settlement, around 700,000 BC, to the beginnings of dynastic Egypt at the end of the fourth millennium BC. The author explores the prehistoric foundations pf many of the cultural traditions of Pharaonic Egypt. The book focuses primarily on the fifteen millennia from 18,000 to 3,000 BC, when different cultures can be identified and the earliest forms of agriculture traced with some detail. Textile and ceramic production began at the end of the seventh millennium and were deployed with great skill and considerable sophistication by the beginning of the Predynastic Period at around 4,500 BC. By the Early Dynastic Period much that is considered characteristic of Ancient Egypt, such as cosmology and burial rites, was already established tradition. This account of prehistoric Egypt will be welcomed as an outstanding narrative, combining both scholarship and accessibility.

A Word About Writing: One Author, Seven Questions
An Interview with Author Lily King and Editor Elisabeth Schmitz, by Heidi Sistare
Lily King's most recent novel, Euphoria, is inspired by the life of Margaret Mead. The novel made many of the top book lists of 2014, including the New York Times Book Review, 10 Best Books of 2014, and NPR, Best Books of 2014. I interviewed Ms. King and her editor, Elisabeth Schmitz. They spoke about the writer and editor relationship, a childhood friendship, and the spark of inspiration.
Lily and Elisabeth, when did the two of you start working together? How were you introduced?
E: Oh, we always laugh together over the second part of this question. Lily and I started working together in 1998 with her debut novel The Pleasing Hour, but we had been introduced by our mothers when we were 13 years old. They wanted us to be friends! And we quickly were. We pursued our separate literary passions in different states and countries, losing touch for many years until one day Lily called and asked if I had any advice about finding a literary agent. She made her choice and I quickly found myself in a five-way auction for her first book. It's just the way I wanted it to happen for Lily!
L: It's true. Our mothers... Read more

(a fish), apparently the masculine, (1 Samuel 5:3,4) correlative of Atargatis, was the national god of the Philistines. The most famous temples of Dagon were at Gaza, (Judges 16:21-30) and Ashdod. (1 Samuel 5:5,6; 1 Chronicles 10:10) The latter temple was destroyed by Jonathan in the Maccabaean wars. Traces of the worship of Dagon likewise appear in the names Caphar-dagon (near Jamnia) and Beth-dagon in Judah, (Joshua 15:41) and Asher. (Joshua 19:27) Dagon was represented with the face and hands of a man and the tail of a fish. (1 Samuel 5:5) The fish-like form was a natural emblem of fruitfulness, and as such was likely to be adopted by seafaring tribes in the representation of their gods.

WASHINGTON — Republican House Speaker John Boehner is offering to let taxes rise on wealthy Americans' investment income and dividends as part of a deal to avert the "fiscal cliff," officials said Monday amid signs that President Barack Obama is ready to make a key concession of his own in urgent, high-level negotiations.
On a day the two men met for about 45 minutes at the White House, officials said they detected a receptiveness by the administration side to proposals to slow the growth of annual cost-of-living benefits paid to recipients of Social Security and other government retirement programs.
If so, it would show Obama's willingness to move toward Boehner in the secretive talks that are unfolding against a year-end deadline. Without legislation to the contrary, tax rates will rise for nearly all wage earners and spending cuts will begin at the Pentagon and in domestic programs across government.
Economists inside and outside the government have warned that the combination of the two could send the economy into recession.
Other major issues are part of the negotiations. Without action by Congress, for example, long-term unemployment benefits will expire for millions at the end of the year, and doctors will face a cut in the payments they receive for treating Medicare patients.
Democrat Obama has also called for assistance for hard-pressed homeowners as well as fresh economist stimulus measures, and some Democrats want to include a sizeable amount of disaster aid in any legislation to offset the cost of Superstorm Sandy.
Officials who disclosed developments in the cliff talks insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly describe the secret negotiations.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney sidestepped when asked about curbing cost-of-living increases for benefit programs. The president "is prepared to make tough choices. He also understands that his bill will not, as written, likely be what the final compromise, if there is one, looks like," he said.
"But he insists and will insist before he signed anything that there is the balance that he seeks that is fair and that seniors aren't bearing the burden so that the healthy bear less — those who can afford it most bear less."
A spokesman for Boehner declined comment on the tax proposals.
Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner met with Boehner and his top aides at the White House for less than an hour during the day. While neither side provided significant details, Republicans have made it clear in recent days that it is the president's turn to propose savings from Medicare and other benefit program following Boehner's agreement last week to let tax rates rise at incomes higher than $1 million.
Officials familiar with the talks said that under the Ohio Republican's proposal, the top tax rate on capital gains would go to 20 percent, up from the current 15 percent. The top rate on dividends also would climb, although it was not known what the new level would be, and the estate tax would also be adjusted to produce more government revenue.
Under current law, the top capital gains tax rate would rise to 20 percent automatically at the end of the year if the cuts enacted during George W. Bush's White House tenure were allowed to expire.
The tax on dividends would also rise. The estate tax would be 55 percent on estates after allowance for a $1 million exemption.
As the talks progress, Republicans across the party's spectrum are eager to turn public attention toward spending cuts, rather than remain bogged down in a politically debilitating debate about tax increases.
"Our problem isn't that we tax too little. It's that we spend too much! We must have serious spending cuts for a debt ceiling increase," tweeted Rep. Tom Price., R-Ga.

The Omnipresent & Overbearing State, is SCARED of this Egyptian STREET!
This Egyptian Experiment with Democracy, is MORE Explosive than MOST would Dare to think!!
The Counter-Revolution continues, even as it turns Cannibalistic & Feeds on itself!!!
This Real-Revolution, can NOT be stopped..........
ALL Power to the People.......
Peace, Love & Respect.
Interesting article that many (not all) westerners may find hard to grasp. Visiting in Jan 2012 after the first uprising and the Military junta was overseeing then seemed interesting (like now).
Living in a Westminster political system compared to US democracy, compared to Islamic rule, will and does baffle everyday citizens. After meeting the minister of Interior in 2012 one could see how everyday Egyptian flounder in attempting to work out what type of democracy will work in their country. Western mindsets to eastern mentality is like putting virgin olive oil in a pot of boiling water (looks interesting, can do limited roles but does not mix in).
Yeah the Muslim Brotherhood gets blamed for a lot of the violence for absolutely no reason. They really have been incredibly peaceful and non-violent, as illustrated clearly here: http://brotherhoodofpeace.tumblr.com
Very insightful article from the Economist. How sad to see such a quick end to Arab Spring.
Egypt being the biggest Arab nation held high hopes for this first experiment in democracy.
It does not surprise me to read about Gulf Sheiks and Saudi King pouring millions in this stifling of democracy.
Saudi ruling clan and the Emirates were obviously very nervous about this dawn( a short one) of democracy in the Arab world.
Of course US and its allies in the west are very happy about the Army grabbing power in Egypt.
The demonization of Muslim Brotherhood was a prelude to this coup.
the majority in any country has many personal problems and objectives to worry about political issues. They want essentially peace and order, wich creates, besides, automatically, some freedom. This explains partially why the Egiptians accept this new army government.
