Subject files, departmental and general correspondence, scrapbooks, photographs.
The Mayors' papers are the core collection of the Municipal Archives. Beginning in the middle of the 19th century, specialized city departments were established (police, fire, buildings, public works, etc.) which reported to the mayor. Consequently, power in city government shifted from the legislative body to the executive branch. The mayoral collections in the Archives reflect the wide-ranging influence of New York City political leaders in national and international events and depict New York's public policy history.
Selected series within the mayoral records collections have been microfilmed. The subject, departmental, and general correspondence of Mayors LaGuardia, O'Dwyer, Impellitteri, Wagner, Lindsay, Beame, Koch, Dinkins and Giuliani have been microfilmed. The newspaper clipping scrapbooks of the Hylan, LaGuardia, O'Dwyer, Impellitteri, Wagner, Lindsay, Beame, and Koch administrations have also been microfilmed. Mayoral records from 1849 through 1934 have also been microfilmed. There are folder-level inventories available for most mayoral series.

Unfortunately, some people take advantage of hacking frenzies like the ones we've been facing, to create hoax threats and scares because they know that contextual cues will help the hoax be believable.
Facebook is proud to announce that the social media giant now has integrated facial recognition in its online platform. This new system allows content to be match with faces for an easier way to tag photos. Although tagging is still done by your friends, the new facial recognition software detects the face and pushes it like an advertisement on the right hand side of your friends' screen.

Volunteering at WCA
Student success relies on parental involvement to support academic achievement and character development. We maintain excellence at our school because each family is required to fulfill 35 hours of volunteer time.
Once you volunteer, please add/update your volunteer information. (Please allow 24 hours for your login registration to be approved.) If you have other members who contribute to your family hours, please list their names as well and connect them to your child/children – this way, whoever volunteers, your family will get the credit.
A computer is available in the front lobby for recording your hours, or you may enter your hours from home using the button above.
Ways to Volunteer
- Teacher Classrooms: Your student's teacher will have volunteer opportunities in the classroom. Please contact your teacher directly for volunteer opportunities. Volunteer time spent in the classroom or assigned projects you complete at home count towards your yearly volunteer requirement.
- Art Room Helpers: To volunteer in the art room, please contact Melanie Shaffer at the Elementary School.
- Organic Garden: Click here to volunteer at our WCA Organic Garden, or contact Amy Legg-Rogers at 970-310-8343.
- Birdwatchers: Birdwatchers is a new program at WCA that brings positive role models into the school as an extra layer of security and safety. If you are interested, please contact Paula in the front office of the elementary school.
WCA Committees
WCA has a strong parent volunteer base and several active committees.
Effective committees provide WCA parent stakeholders an opportunity to become involved at the school in a meaningful way. We encourage each parent to participate in our committee work.
Positive energy, a strong commitment, and a desire to support our vision "where students are educated, empowered, and equipped to reach their highest potential" are traits that our committees need as we move forward in important work this school year. Volunteering for our committees is a great way to fulfill your service hours of 35 hours for the year.
There are two types of committees - board committees and support committees. Meeting times vary - some committees meet in the morning after student drop off, in the afternoon before student pick up, and of course, some committees meet after school. Many businesses support community service, especially when volunteering for a school committee meeting that meets only once a month. By participating in committee meetings during the day, there is more time for families in the evenings.
Click on the various links to learn more and sign up for a committee that you would like to participate in. Most committees host their first meeting in September, unless stated otherwise.
WCA Board Committees
Board committees support board members in their work in governance and oversight. Each committee has one board member liaison and a committee member that serves as the chairperson.
The chairperson's priorities and focus in leading should align with the governing board to carry out the intent of the subcommittee and to increase the likelihood of success. Board committees establish goals and benchmarks to measure success.

For years, she helped her husband operate Najar's drive-in on U.S. 60. Kenny Kemp "You can't sit home and say, 'God give me.' ... Kenny Kemp ... God says, 'If you don't get up and go, honey, ... Kenny Kemp ... you aren't going to get anywhere.'" Courtesy photo As a young married woman from Lebanon, Nabila Najar adapted quickly to her new life in West Virginia. Kenny Kemp This treasured portrait commemorates the marriage of Nabila and Adil Najar in Lebanon in 1950. She always called him by his nickname, Eddie. They were married 54 years before his death seven years ago. Courtesy photo A snapshot shows the Kenney's drive-in franchise owned by the Najars. The specialty was a 15-cent hamburger dipped in sauce and placed on a bun. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- She oozes old-country charm. She's cheerful, outgoing and quick to laugh, especially at herself. Nabila Najar feels comfortably at home here, far removed from the cautious, wide-eyed bride who arrived from Lebanon in 1951 unable to speak a word of English.Thrust into everyday life in the bustling coalfield town of Mullens, she used spunk and resourcefulness to make her way as she juggled motherhood and helping her husband at their curb service restaurant.In 1953, a new opportunity brought them to St. Albans, where they ran a drive-in on U.S. 60 known first as the Drive Under and later as Najar's. It operated until 1977.She grew to love the country that so intimidated her as a newlywed. Still robust and chatty at 80, she glows with gratitude for her Americanization. "I was born in Bzebdine, Lebanon. My father was a farmer and businessman. We were the only ones in town with our own water. My father dug a well under the mountain. We raised everything we ate. Mom was a hard-working person. I watched her and learned how to cook."We went to school at age 5, from 8 to 4 every day. I walked every day to a Catholic school. I stayed in school until the sixth grade. Then I said I'd had enough. We couldn't afford it."We were a family of nine. Every morning, one of us would take over the kitchen. Breakfast had to be ready by 9 when they came back from the farm. My father was up at 3:30 in the morning to go to the farm. He had to go like from here to Beckley. He had a mule or a donkey or he walked. There were no cars."I wanted to be a doctor. My father, after he dug the well, he had dynamite sticks, and the dynamite exploded and three of his fingers flew out the window. The doctor came. No one would stand with him because it was so gruesome. They called me in, and I stood there, and he said, 'That girl has to be a doctor.' But there was no money."My husband, Eddie, was in World War II with Eisenhower. I met him after the war, in 1950. He was looking for a bride. The custom is, men would visit the homes where there were young ladies. We had 14 men come to our house. There were two of us, my sister and me."His mother said he was not going back to America without getting married. He was born in Spokane, Wash. His family lived in Mullens. My father-in-law went to Lebanon and got married and came back and had a boy and a girl in Spokane, and they moved to Mullens. His brother was there. "When his wife died, my father-in-law went back to Lebanon. My Eddie was raised in Lebanon. At 13, his father died. At 19, he enlisted at the embassy. He went to Egypt to Africa to Germany. He served his term and went back to Mullens where four of his cousins had a sandwich shop."A guy bought their business. They made a lot of money. Eddie had a '49 Buick. His cousin had a '49 Ford. They put them on a boat and came to Lebanon. The idea was to see their family and get married."My aunt's grandson heard them talking: 'Have you been to Bzebdine? My uncle has two beautiful daughters, the most beautiful in all of Lebanon.'"On June 15, my birthday, I was standing at the door wearing a beautiful crepe dress and high heels, no makeup, my hair down to my shoulders. I ran inside. 'Momma, someone's looking for a bride!' I received them to come into the living room. The custom was, you served lemonade, coffee and then chocolate. We did all that. Eddie was watching me. "He had his uncle, mother and aunt and another guy with him. The women said to come sit with them. They had to look at you close up. We got engaged in a week and were married in four weeks. That was 1951. We were on the boat 18 days coming over."We went to Mullens. My sister met me. She was here five years ahead of me. About three months after we got here, the chief of police said he had a place, Joe's Drive-in, and wanted to sell it. He said 4,000 men came through there every day from the Itmann mine. "Eddie said we didn't have any money. He said, 'When you make some money, you pay me.'"On Saturday in Mullens, it was so crowded you couldn't go down the street. We had nice shops. American workers don't look ahead. They spent all their money on weekends, and on Monday, they'd come borrow for lunch from Eddie."I was like a blind person thrown in this valley. My husband worked from 8:30 until 2 in the morning. I didn't know anything. I couldn't speak a word of English. French and Arabic, that's all I knew. I had to learn the language, the customs."Someone said something about a hot dog. I said, 'They eat hot dogs in this country?' My husband said, 'No, honey, that's a sandwich.' "I was lucky. There was a grocery store under our first apartment in Mullens. The grocer could speak French. Later on, I would ride a taxi to the store for a quarter and take $20. I would put stuff on the counter and say, 'Is this enough?' When I got over $20, I'd put things back. I managed."A woman told Eddie her son had a drive-in here, the Drive Under on Route 60, and wanted to sell it. Eddie came to look at it and said we were going to move to Charleston. Eddie paid him $8,000, all the money he had. In 1953, we came to town and rented a house next door here."The guy told Eddie he couldn't take over until Labor Day. School opened, and business was flat. The day my husband walked in, all the help walked out. He called me and asked me to come down."I didn't know what to do. I didn't drive until after I was here 11 years. So I would walk across the street and cross the railroad to the drive-in."I had never cooked American food. He said a guy wanted an egg sunny side up. I said, 'What's that?' He said to look at the picture on the card. I saw it in the skillet when I cooked it. I was a good learner."When you have your own restaurant, you are a dishwasher, the bathroom cleaner, the cook, the person who takes all the complaints and the buyer. That's what I was."He bought a franchise from Roanoke called Kenney's. We sold burgers for 15 cents. We'd dip them in sauce and put them on a bun and they were so delicious. We opened one in Dunbar. Know where the fire station is? That building is ours. We bought the property for $25,000 and had a Kenney's there from 1964 until 1975."One time, Louis Armstrong was playing in Charleston. No place would feed them. Somebody told them to go to Najar's. It was 1 a.m. My husband had the door closed. But he fixed them 12 rib dinners. They were so grateful. We never turned anybody away from our restaurant."In 1970, we switched our place here to Najar's Drive Under. We started inside service, a steakhouse, plus outside. We stayed until 1977. First it was Smiley's and us fighting each other. Then Shoney's came on. Then there was a place on every corner. We got tired of it."George Wong came to the store and knocked on the door and said he wanted to put in a Chinese restaurant. We leased it to him for six months and then sold it to him. He had the best food in the world. When Corridor G came in, he moved up there. Our place burned down. There's a video shop there now."Life is not a bowl of Jell-O. We worked very hard, and it paid back. We had a good life. You can't sit home and say, 'God give me.' God says, 'If you don't get up and go, honey, you aren't going to get anywhere.'"I've had the most respect from everyone. I love this country and would do anything for it."Reach Sandy Wells at email@example.com or 304-348-5173.

So I like to do laps at the pool but I find shorts are too heavy and give too much drag. I know a lot of girls are not fans of these.. blah blah lol and I know I certainly don't have the worlds best body.. but do these look ok for swimming laps?

Hi sorry for taking so long to look at your post but been in the process of moving so haven't been online in ages...
I think if your wearing speedos to do laps then you should wear whatever you want to wear. Exercise should be as enjoyable as possible and if shorts "drag" then wear speedos. Maybe keep some shorts stye ones at the side so you can pull them on when are done if you feel self conscious.
As far as your body is concerned you look good. Awesome arms ;-) you also have the physique that if you did build muscle in your shoulders and torso you could be magazine level.
Natural great frame to start off with!
Have fun! :-)00|00|0
Thanks so much for your encouraging words. Hey obviously you can't answer for other girls but in your opinion why do you think a lot seem to hate speedos so much? I mean they don't have to think they're fantastic or anything but it would be awesome if they were a bit more chilled about them like you 😛
I think girls and guys in your age range are far more focused on what's considered the current trend rather than what's practical. I personally think guys look better in shorts but I wouldn't think twice about a guy wearing speedos to do laps in a pool. It says to me the guy takes his swimming seriously as you don't see professional swimmers wearing something that causes drag. I know it's a broad statement but I also think younger people tend to respond more dramatically than older and can be less accepting of personal preferences.

Author | exchange4media Bangalore Bureau | Wednesday, Apr 02,2008 7:54 AM
Brand activation agency 141 Sercon has done senior level reconstitution of its Board. It has appointed Subhash Kamath, CEO and MD of Bates Asia in India, as its Chairman. Ranjan Kapur, Country Manager, WPP in India; Jeffery Yu, Chairman of Bates Asia; and Digby Richards, CEO, Bates Asia, have been appointed as Directors on the Board. Vijay Singh, Managing Director & CEO, and Rajesh Ghatge, Executive Director & COO, of 141 Sercon would continue to manage the operations of the organisation and report to the Board of Directors.
Jeffery Yu said, "Our vision is to be the undisputed expert in engaging consumers in and across 'The Asias'. With our business and skill sets moving in the direction of becoming an interaction agency, 141 Sercon is a very strategic component to our offering. India is also a key market for us and success in India is crucial in strengthening our offering as an Asia specialist. With 141 Sercon's expertise and solid track record in specialist areas such as B2B demand generation, analytics, digital outreach and brand related community development, we are also exporting their best practice to other 141 offices in the region."
Digby Richards pointed out, "At Bates 141, we change mindsets and behaviour. One without the other is incomplete and short-lived. 141 Sercon closes the loop on our offer in India, and is crucial to our success in Asia as a whole. We are embracing new 'interaction' model where we're not only playing at the top end of the 'funnel', where an idea might last a day, but extending our role in lead generation through to the shopper experience, where ideas pull people over the preference line."
The reconstitution signifies the importance of rapidly growing marketing services industry across Asia with brands allocating larger percentages of their budgets towards these. With this Board reconstitution, 141 Sercon is mandated with further expansion of its existing portfolio across Asian markets and it will be able to leverage heavily from the international presence and expertise of the Group. The Board will provide thought leadership to the organisation, which would present it a larger perspective with their years of experience in building world-class brands across the world.
According to Subhash Kamath, "The traditional advertising agency model has really changed. It is no longer relevant or sufficient to depend only on growth through mass media advertising. Clients are asking for business solutions, not just advertising campaigns, and we are restructuring ourselves to provide that. Many agencies talk about this, even flash it in their credentials. But we've decided to walk the talk. 141 Sercon is a serious commitment, and we're very ambitious about looking at a 40 per cent growth every year for the next few years."
Vijay Singh said, "We are delighted to have Subhash, Ranjan, Jeffery and Digby on the 141 Sercon Board. These are strategic board appointments as their expertise and knowledge would greatly complement our existing high quality team, and we know we will be able to draw on their vast experience and impressive track records."

Standard Modules
Like buildings, each parcel of land is unique. But for mass appraisal you must assess them all fairly and equitably. The Land module within CAMAvision® can help by providing eight table-driven methods for valuating land. From residential, or commercial, to agricultural farm land, CAMAvision provides to tools to manage all land types within your jurisdiction.
- Front-Foot
- Site-Excess
- Acres x Rate
- Square-Foot x Rate
- Square-Foot with Dimensions
- Acres with Dimensions
- Lump-sum
- Agricultural Soil
- Factoring routines to manage large groups of similar land
- Land analysis studies with Sales Ratio
Sales Ratio Analysis
You have your parcels in CAMAvision, now ensure your assessment decisions are in-line with trends in your area. The sales ratio analysis module can help. It conforms to the IAAO Standard on Sales Ratio Studies and provides group statistical analysis with eight predefined stratifications: price range, map areas, style, age, grade condition, total living area, occupancy, and sub-division. Also included are three land analysis: vacant lot, land residual and land ratio.
Keeping track of sales in your area is key to assessing your parcels and making sure they are all fair and equitable. Whether its a normal arms-length transaction, a private sale, or even a multi-parcel sale, you can keep track of it in CAMAvision.
While other companies may try to sell you a permit tracking module, ours comes standard and is fully integrated into CAMAvision. Use it to flag parcels for review, or to help you pick up new construction. Tables can be edited to suit the needs of your area.
Prior Year Values

Almost every Instagram beginner and season Instagrammer knows the fact that you can take a video or photo, add filter, write a caption and use a few hashtags and tag the photo to a location in Instagram. But Instagram is not all about these things, especially for businesses. But there are people who spend most of their time browsing and following lots of popular Instagram users. They may have adopted certain posting trends which only a few users know.
Post in Landscape or Portrait Mode
Videos and photos you post on Instagram should be cropped and posted in square. Virtually all smartphone cameras take pictures in both landscape and portrait. It is not possible to find photos which are posted without cropping on Instagram. This way, Squaready is an app on iOS that can definitely help you.

Yes, I blame Shahrukh Khan personally and Bollywood widely — for my expectations of romance, passion, and love. My idealistic anticipations of what it would feel like to fall in love, how a man would pursue, romance, and marry me, were all developed as a result of Shahrukh Khan and Bollywood.
I grew up on a huge diet of Bollywood movies. My grandmother was the biggest movie buff I have ever known. She had a collection of hundreds, if not thousands, of video tapes (VTRs). Yes, I am that old. She had chronicled all the best and some of the worst movies from the '70s, '80s, and early '90s. With the introduction of DVDs, her addiction waned but never ceased.
All my earliest memories from childhood include Bollywood movies. They were unremittingly playing in the backdrop of every family function, domestic row, Eid, and Christmas – basically, they were permanently on.
Bollywood is wonderful; it is one of the main topics my siblings and I bond over. We often reminisce about the cheesy songs, bizarre comedy, and the evil villains in these movies, some of which have scared us for life! Yes, I am still very, very afraid of Reecha from Katilon Ke Kaatil (A Murderer's Murderer).
Having said all that, it always was, and still is, the love in the movies that we admired.
Love is by far the principal theme of most of Bollywood's movies; it is depicted in every way imaginable and omnipresent in some form or another in almost every single movie. As a child, I would endlessly watch my heroes and heroines Amitabh Bachchan, Govinda, Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Maduri Dixit, and many more. They would fall in and out of love and dance around trees entertaining me. I watched them distantly; they were a foreign concept, people who had issues and realities far removed from my own.
Then everything changed.
As I was coming of age (hitting puberty), my life and the lives of a whole generation and many generations to come completely changed. We were bestowed with the genius and the phenomenon that is Dil wale Duhilaiy le jah gay (The Big-Hearted Will Take Away the Bride).
Shahrukh Khan and Kajol mesmerized me and everyone I knew. They were performing our lives on screen and talking about our issues. Issues of cultural and religious restrictions, arranged marriages, familial constraints, women's rights and so much more.
Depicting an accurate paradox; this movie talked directly to a generation of people who lived in western societies, yet were holding onto the traditional values of their motherland. It spoke to every young girl and boy hoping to travel, get into adventures, and most importantly fall in love. It spoke directly to me.
I experienced love for the first time while watching this movie. Yes, it was vicariously through fictitious characters, but it was love nonetheless. I was introduced to a world of possibilities, and more importantly, I was taught what love should feel like.
With the arrival of Dil to Pagal Hay (The Heart Is Crazy), my convictions were cemented in the power of Shahrukh Khan's message of love. I watched this movie every single day after school for months. Shahrukh Khan would say and do exactly what every girl wanted to hear and feel. He conveyed a magical message while making it relatable.
I truly believed my Shahrukh Khan would bump into me unexpectedly, in a library, at a train station, at a party, or while I unassumingly sipped my coffee in a café. We would fall in love at first sight and he would sweep me off my feet. There was never a question in my mind that I wouldn't find the love I have created in my mind.
It never happened.
What I got instead were awkward family introductions, bizarre romantic gestures, capricious behavior, stalkers, online weirdness, and too many other things to name.
I did eventually fall in love and all I can say is, I promise you, love is nothing it promises to be. When love is emotionally painful, it's endurable; when it's physically destructive, it's dangerous.
Heartbreak helped me snap out of my imaginary world of meeting my very own Shahrukh Khan. I attempted to become "practical," as life, culture, and especially my mother demanded it of me.
"Practicality" involves marrying a suitable doctor, lawyer, or accountant, who is the correct color, creed, race, religion, and geographically down the road from my mother. Needless to say, that won't happen. Therefore, I am still in the pursuit of practicality, which may evade me forevermore.
The truth is I am just one of many who have somehow lost our way with love.
I no longer watch Bollywood movies. Yet, the messages of Shahrukh Khan in all the movies of my teenage-hood are etched in my psyche. They are a part of me no matter how hard I try and wash them away with the soap of my heartbreak.
I have left behind the vivacious, inexperienced notions of romance, passion, and love, yet, I am resentful of the magic they took with them. We live in a time in which many of us are actually incapable of romance in its traditional or historical form. We find it awkward, corny, and outdated.
We live in a culture that breeds hook-ups, where labeling a relationship too soon is blasphemy. With three-minute speed dating to swiping left or right, blind dates to insipid family introductions, a generation of people that are too pessimistic to believe in concepts of soul mates and infinite options for our every desire, why would we? We are truly spoiled with choice. The plethora of choice only adds to our confusion. One of the repercussions of this endless choice is infidelity; people don't even have to leave their houses to cheat anymore. Many of us know what it takes to build relationships and how little it takes to break them, too.
In search of a little bit of everything: stability, practicality and affability, yet, we are still yearning for the magical. We are stuck in the peculiar place were Bollywood, Hollywood, and Disney are still our ideals, and yet, our realities produce mundane arrangements, familial or otherwise.
I ask myself often, do I even know what love is anymore, or perhaps I never did, or maybe I always did and it's just manifested differently in this generation.
Romantic love is as old as time. It's spoken, depicted, and written about from the beginning of time. It is described and declared everywhere and always.
Shahrukh Khan defined it for many men and women just like me. I feel it's now time to redefine it.
To reclaim love and appreciate it in its current practices, inclusive of swiping left or right. We should proudly declare that we are a generation with more choice and aspirations for love, accept that we do care about intellectual compatibility and moral fiber, and we want an ambitious partner who we can goof around with. We do want it all; we want the magical with the practical and we won't settle for anything less.
Yes, I blame Shahrukh Khan personally and Bollywood widely for setting my standards for love, for shaping my notions of love; it's up to me to add to this: and live up to love.
